Chris Pratt award speech....no really

[T.Lex]

Are you serious?! Did you not watch Parks & Rec?!



It's Aubrey Plaza their characters were married on the show. And to save you the trouble, she's a liberal pot head, similar to Ali Shawkat.


And if you even tell you don't know who Ali Shawkat is (even after seeing her picture)... I... I... I don't even want to ponder that.

You crazy kids with all your made-up names trying to trick us GenXers. I'm not falling for it.



(My oldest kid kept trying to get me to watch P&R, after she realized The Office was really funny. I just don't have time. I did know Pratt was on that, though. And, I'm passingly familiar with Arrested Development.)

 

[tmschuller]

Cool speech and seems genuine! Great on the big screen too. Hopefully more to follow after he set the bar.

I think they thought he was being sarcastic.

Seems like Bryce Howard was supportive and knew of his faith, but the other chick (who I have no idea who she is) was confused.

But, Pratt struck a REALLY good balance between humor and evangelizing. It doesn't have to be heavy, or even terribly overt. Like medicine for a dog, it can be wrapped by something more palatable.

With money being Hollywood's true god, as long as he makes bank, they will tolerate his statements of faith. Further, as long as his statements remain somewhat vague, he'll be fine.

Now, let him keep talking about it, maybe the shine comes off his multiple franchise box-office draw ability a little, or heaven forbid he mentions Jesus or otherwise talks about specifics of his faith....their attitude will change.

He's already confirmed as a hunter. That can't sit too well. Should he come out and make some statements that pay lip service to leftist ideas, that'll help too. Maybe if his movies reinforce some leftist clap-trap, he'll be gold for a longer time, but not forever.

OK, a little while longer.

Okay. I don't know who Ali Shawkat is.


I'm just here for the pyrotechnics.

 

[JettaKnight]

Okay. I don't know who Ali Shawkat is.

Maybe you do.

Well said. I agree that the "hamburger" was probably the only way he could get the real message out. Well played Chris.

That's refreshing. I enjoy Parks and Rec even though I've always thought the actors were liberal. April and Ron are my favorite characters.

Don't get me started on that guy.

Oh yeah he's a big liberal.

 

[actaeon277]

Oh yeah he's a big liberal.

Who wants the 1st amendment to apply to him using tech not available at the time of the signing, but not same for the second.

 

[actaeon277]

Oh yeah he's a big liberal.

He says he'll fight hand to hand.
Well, I nominate he fights Tim Kennedy

 

[HoughMade]

I could not care less about he politics of an actor who I enjoy watching act. If they are entertaining, they’re entertaining.

Barbarella comes to mind.

 

[Nojoy621]

screw this guy...he is all about gun control!

 

[actaeon277]

screw this guy...he is all about gun control!

I just looked up his statement.
Ugh.
He's trying to find "common ground".

 

[rob63]

Okay. I don't know who Ali Shawkat is.

I had never heard of her either, so I googled her. She's that actress that is in all those shows you never watched.

 

[Expat]

I think I had heard of Pratt before. Sounds like a fine young man. I bet his parents are proud of him.

Some of these other people. Not so much.

 

[INgunner54]

Good on him. Nice to hear

 

[Chr15topher]

Pratt’s speech was extremely refreshing. I’ve always like his movies and I’ll enjoy them even more.

It's okay to like Nick Offerman for his acting roles. Check him out in Fargo... great character.

It's okay to disassociate actors and whatnots from their personal lives. In fact, it's encouraged.
