<blockquote>The last couple of albums were a bit below average. </blockquote>Oh, I beg to differ. I think Delta Machine and Spirit, and especially Memento Mori, are the strongest albums they've done since Alan's been gone. Plus, I have a suspicion that Alan has evolved in *his* journey(though I haven't been following what he has been doing the last fifteen years or so) such that his musical sensibilities would probably no longer be a good fit for DM.
RIP Andrew Fletcher
And like everyone else, I sure as hell was not expecting him to be the first to go.
The Edge, with Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins who spend much of the movie being stalked by a bear that is clearly on coke.
He was on cocaine, that was why!
Mystery solved.
Are you wrong?
No.
You're welcome.
By the way, I just took a quick look at some of your other posts and replies on other forums here on MovieChat.
You seem like a reasonable guy, HarveyManFredSin, and sure do seem to be on the same page as myself when it comes to modern liberalism/wokeism and other matters.
It does.
And incidentally, when I first saw the headline of your post, I thought you were going to argue that physically repulsive people cannot get laid and thus are so desperate for sex that they would be willing to force themselves on a child if it means getting some.
But what you said also follows.
<blockquote>Are you judging?
</blockquote>Not you, though I certainly am judging your assailant.
I'm just making sure I understand.
I appreciate you weighing in on my OP with a thoughtful, nuanced, and mature response by the way.
<blockquote>As someone who's been on the receiving end of a few assaults</blockquote>You're a guy who has been sexually assaulted by women?
<blockquote>If you mean that the government had clear warnings that an attack akin to 9/11 was imminent, </blockquote>That's exactly what I mean.
Read my post again.
I suggested <i>Colin Firth</i> take the role instead.
I never thought I'd ever say this, but I now think that in Titanic he gives one of his best performances.
In most of his movies from the past decade or so, all he does--seemingly--is scowl and grimace in an effort to come across as "tough" and "manly" and "mature", or else he's usually got a smug smile on his face in an effort to appear confident and macho.
Whereas in Titanic he just acts naturally and doesn't try too hard.
<blockquote>I always thought Tom could have made a pretty good Tony Soprano. He and James G. have the same presence. Better yet, he would have been awesome as Tony Blundetto</blockquote>Totally agree!
What movie did you watch?
*None* of the characters looked the same at the end of Goodfellas as they did at the beginning. Hell, Henry and Tommy are played by different actors in 1955!
Paulie didn't age as much as the others apart from a little grey in his hair in the later scenes, granted, but other than that they all showed that a quarter century had elapsed.
<blockquote>Now it is all don't ruffle Bill's feathers</blockquote>He doesn't seem to want anyone to upstage him, and he started in that direction long before Trump got elected, let alone 2020. Although a turn-off, I would hardly say that makes him "Trump-like".
<blockquote>his goofball medical and health care theories</blockquote>Such as?
<blockquote>his hatred for young people, marriage, babies, etc. </blockquote>How exactly is that "Trump-like"? And Maher doesn't necessarily hate young people, rather he has disdain for <i>today's</i> young people, the Millenials and especially the Gen-Zers for being such coddled wussies and ignoramuses. And it's not like those assessments are inaccurate.
He's always made no bones about how he is not cut out for married life and having a family. Doesn't make him a bad person. And since Trump is a married man with a family himself, I would say Bill's shunning of that life makes him if anything very <b>un</b>-Trump-like.
<blockquote> He constantly interrupts the guests with blatantly false comments</blockquote>He does get his facts wrong from time to time, and is guilty of lapses in judgment. That's called <i>being human</i>.
Bummer.
I was <i>cautiously</i> looking forward to seeing this flick.
<blockquote>If he were daring, he should make one about the corruption of the Democratic Party and the manipulation of the news media and social media to shape cultural perceptions.</blockquote>Amen brother!
But it'll never happen. He's not daring.
<blockquote>Although Bill makes fun of Trump and insults him, over time he has taken on unabashedly Trump-like characteristics. </blockquote>How has Maher become Trump-like lately?
<blockquote>He played a great uptight Col. In The Last Castle. A role I never hear people talk about..
</blockquote>YES!
Gandolfini's possibly most underrated performance.
Vito: I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Ralph: Unless of course there's a salami sandwich around.
And of course, if Ralph knew that Vito liked to...."catch", I'm sure he'd be quipping about Vito putting something else in his mouth!
I've always thought that actually Ridley Scott--who did Hannibal--should have directed Red Dragon since the latter film would have been a better match for his directorial style, and that Fincher should have directed Hannibal, for the same reason.
