Yesterday was New York University’s Commencement ceremony. It happened at Yankee Stadium. Alec Baldwin was their guest speaker. And I am a little bit jealous (my commencement speaker was a 90-year-old former senator who rambled for an hour about trains and aliens and his bladder cancer, but that’s another story).
Alec was also given an honorary doctorate in fine arts, having received his original degree from NYU’s Tisch School for the Arts in 1994. On top of his shiny new Ph.D, he is also hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend. This is a huge week for Alec Baldwin, you guys. You should probably send him a card or something.
What do you think of Alec Baldwin? Does he deserve all this ruckus? Is he your favorite Baldwin (personally, my heart belongs to Daniel)?
Wow- a post without the “F Word”…refreshing!
I agree!
Agree too!
What relevant comments.
Anyway — I don’t know Alec Baldwin personally, but he’s one of the funniest people around. Someone that I know who works ‘in the industry’ says that he can be a pill — but we don’t have to concern ourselves with that do we? So . . . fuck it. Most people deserve what they get.
Alec Baldwin has completely re-invented himself as an actor. Long gone are his intense killer types – which is kind of too bad – because I think he can play intense, funny, stupid..whatever he wants. He’s the real deal. his brothers? Not so much. Except maybe Daniel -but :-(
Looooove Alec Baldwin. Genius actor, versatile, love him. Couldn’t care less about any of his brothers, I think they’re all creepy. He’s probably an asshole in real life. But then again, so am I.
Oh, man, I thought William Baldwin circa Flatliners was amazingly hot … and Alec wasn’t so bad himself in Beetlejuice. LOL
He was excellent in The Juror. A creepy, sexy, bad-ass!
alec dahling, you had me at “you’re a pig”.
i adore you!!!

So, I was at Commencement where Alec Baldwin spoke. I personally love him, but any ounce of charm or sexuality he has was instantly nullified by his shockingly miserable mathematical skills. He was supposed to come address our freshman class in 2006 at Convocation, and didn’t show. So naturally he made the obligatory joke/comment about not making it and finally keeping his “date” with us. Except, he was like – I know we had a date four years ago, and I’m sorry I didn’t make it. Here’s the real story behind why I couldn’t come that September morning in 2005..Seriously, Alec Baldwin? 2010 – 4 years = 2006. NOT 2005. Simple arithmetic. No wonder he was given an honorary doctorate in Fine Arts, and not, you know, in being literate or anything remotely academia related.
That said, it was kind of cool to have him address our graduating class.
