35. oaky here we go again, TNZ.

more pandering to the mental midgets who automatically give a free pass to the cops and assume all celebs are guilty. Have any of you ever been to Shreveport? It's officially known as the armpit of Louisiana. Located on the Gulf Coast, it' extreme poverty and stagnant fishing industry led it to sell out to casino developers to save itself from abject poverty, but now you just have white trash with money mixed in with white trash who are even more broke. The cops are the epitomy of southern-justice corrupt with a collective IQ of 10. Like Jas if a pacifist like James Brolan and a bunch of actors are such menacing thugs that "back up' was actually needed. C'mon! Think this through a bit people. These coppers have just over-reacted and crapped on a golden goose that puts money into their sorry-ass economy - ie. a movie- instead of just sucking people dry like the casinos. These good 'ol boy cops need to be reigned in hard.

yes, people with money or in the public eye are easy targets for corrupt cops precisely becasue they know too many people in the public have the initial reaction of lving to see the "rich people get theirs". Wow, don't fall for that lest the cops knock on your door some night. absolute power corrupts absolutely. we the people need to once again stand up and reign in over zealous law enforcement.

36. #34 is absolulty right! Shreveport is KNOWN as the armpit of
Louisiana, We were transfered there for 8 month training and then
Katrina hit and we got stuck there for another year. I was in a
Subway store and a S'port cop actually told me that to look for homes
in the Bossier area. As soon as we were given the ok to put in for
transfer we couldnt hire a mover fast enough to get us back to
Austin. The school systems are horrible, my kids were a year ahead of
them and blew away the Iowa tests. And yes, it does stink.. drive down
I20 from Dallas and you can SMELL it when you cross into Louisiana,
its horrible. Shreveport itself has a very high crime rate and if not
for the Bossier Police the Shreveport trash would come creep into
their town. The only nice area is the boardwalk on the Bossier side.
All you people posting here about how WONDERFUL it is are crazy, at
least be honest. Theres nothing wonderful about it.

37. I've been to Shreveport. It is not a lovely place. Hell of a lot nicer than Covington, though. WTH to King a? Was that English? LSU grad?

But, all this for Josh Brolin? The man hasn't seen a razor, shower or box office hit since the Goonies. The thought that the police had to call for back up in a city hailed the 'most dangerous small town' in America is laughable.

Easy money, folks. Josh Brolin and pals will pay their fines and Shreve will continue to bring in the film community. Tax breaks are a nice incentive.

42. Josh Brolin is a good actor. He was recently in No Country For Old Men to refute your Goonies statement. However he is a hothead and an alcoholic. He has a long suffering wife Diane Lane, who he beat on shortly after they were married. She even went to the Oscars by herself when she was nominated. He's never grown up and at this point he probably never will.

44. #34, Shreveport is NOT on the Gulf Coast. It is in North Louisiana only about 10 miles from the Texas state line. Get your facts straight. No, it's not the perfect place to live, but is far from the "armpit of Louisiana". There are much worse places. #35, as for the public school system I agree, that's why my daughter is in private school. There are several excellent private schools here. Everywhere in the US has it's good and bad. Don't judge all of us as a group.

45. ...Being from Shreveport, Louisiana myself, and owning a small business that the "movie people" take advantage of, I am constantly amazed that some of "these" people simply forget that "when in Rome....do as the Romans do" I am currently writing a book about the escapades of the "movie types" that have descended upon our sleepy little town. Starting with Ashton and the filming of the "Guardian" and ending.....well they say we have at least 5 years more business comming......I'm sure it will appears in bookstores some day or....hmmm....perhaps on the big screen? ( I want someone fabulous to play ME) Anyway, as long they keep comming and giving us all this entertainment.....and revenue......I have absolutely no problems with our new guests. Remeber ,...as we always say here...."lezzez le bon temps roulez"!
