Name an actor whom you think doesn’t get enough credit. -MazzelToff
Tim Robbins had the greatest acting year in history for me, in 1994. He went from Norville Barnes In the Hudsucker Proxy to Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption, in a matter of months. They’re completely opposite roles and he owned them both. Two of my favorite movies, all time. He might not be underrated, but the difference in these two roles is understated. What a champ.
“Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett’s death is the saddest thing since 9/11” -Chad “OchoCinco” Johnson – Large_Soprano
There’s a difference between “We will never forget.” and “We never really gave a shit to begin with.”
Why has MJ’s death gotten more media attention then Lucille Ball? Lucille Ball was a legend, obviously. She changed television. Her death in 1989 got HUGE media attention around the world, and with MJ’s death I find that her death is the most recent resemblance to it in terms of how large it had an impact on everyone. People(myself included) have said this is the biggest celebrity death since Elvis, but we can’t forget about Lucille Ball and what she did to television. I mean come on, I love Lucy has been on television for 58 years. Not a lot of shows can say that. Not to mention all the other countless amount of things she did in her career. -andrewtxranger
The facts are clear. LB did 7 seasons of a TV show, without one writing or producing credit, during the genesis of the medium when no one had anything else better to do. By “countless amount of things” , you must be referring to the math issue of counting to zero, because she did nothing after the show.
Michael Jackson transformed a medium that has existed before language, let alone his birth. She did not, however, redefine television, a medium that was barely existent at that time. You really don’t think that any other actress could have said the lines, done some fake crying/whining and become a household name, when there was no competition for her? Sure, the show was new and fresh, but so was TV and she didn’t have anything to do with it, the writers and producers did.
She was an actress, plain and simple. You cannot have an argument for her being a creative genius, where as its difficult to formulate an argument that Michael Jackson was NOT a creative genius.
Intelligence is defined by your, knowledge, experience, wisdom, and I’ll throw in works. NOT by what you have faith in. Knowledge being knowledge obtained through studies and wisdom being knowledge obtained through age and experiences. -ssmbtbt
Having faith in something with no other quantifying basis is pretty much, BY DEFINITION, the direct opposite of wisdom.
I have never understood why Adolf Hitler had his German Shepherd killed… Yeah,the Russians had Berlin surrounded and some say that Hitler did not want Blondi to fall into enemy hands but he also used her to test the effects of cyanide.-Kanemark88
Do Germans just call them “Shepherds”?
Ever walk out on the bill at a restaurant? The old “dine and ditch”? – SF49er49
Once. I was on a second date with a girl and we waited for like 15 minutes at the checkout to pay. No one came and she said “Let’s just go.” So, we did. They were dead. There is no way we should have waited two minutes, let alone 15.
As you know when Favre left the Packers he retired. He then became a Jets quarterback and did well for about half of the season and then retired again. Now talks heat up that he’s going to be a Viking. Why can’t this guy just retire? He’s destroying his legacy. -drunkcookies
I believe Brett Favre when he says the Packers asked him to retire. The only people who are allowed to complain should be Packers fans, and it should be aimed at the management, and not Brett Favre.
If you live in Los Angeles and don’t listen to Loveline, you’re doing it wrong. -HelaKenX
It’s syndicated here in Albany, NY. But, Dr Drew is a fucking clown shoe. His advice is so antiquated. I’m often surprised he never offers blood letting as a treatment.
The man who murdered your spouse and kids has been sentenced to death. Do you witness his execution in person or not? -FlexusInstruments
I fight for life in prison without parole, and give the maximum allotted amount of goods to people that will make his life a hell until he chooses to commit suicide. Beatings, ass raping, I buy it all for cigarettes and food, and then I visit him to be sure he knows its my financing thats doing this to him.
A Virgin Should Lose Their Virginity To Another Virgin -DrOpinion
I totally agree. It makes that one specific event more historic and memorable if both are new to it. Its mostly instinct anyway. I equate it to playing a video game for the first time against someone who is experienced. It’s going to lopsided and uncomfortable late, and even though one is a victor, they’re both pretty unsatisfied.
Short people want the word “midget” banned from TV. – Urban_Apostle
This, I don’t get. It’s not like “midget” was a term used to bring down little people. It was just another word for little people, that they decided to get offended over. It’s not like a racial slur at all which were invented as insults. Shut up, little people. Big People are only using it it hurt you now, because you react this way.
reincarnation: do you believe in it?-EdgeMaki
I do. Furthermore, I believe the skills we develop in our life carry over as instincts and is the basis for evolution.
