Pelosi lives in a San Francisco environment of strange fantasies and a strange understanding of reality. -- nm - Gingrich Jan 25, 14:32 9
- He'd be a boring Mad Lib player. "Historical Person." "Saul Alinsky!" "City." "San Francisco." "Adjective." "Secular Extremist!" -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 14:34

- what you don't see is that in real life he's more manic than Robin Williams, so it took all his strength to be that reserved. -- nm - Max Jan 25, 14:29 5
  - Honestly, his performance offers nothing! I know Gary Oldman can go over the top, such as in The Professional - FabioParme Jan 25, 14:32 4
    - (as I said when I saw it, I napped a couple times and could still follow the plot when I woke up) -- nm - Max Jan 25, 14:39 1
      - The ending is hugely anticlimactic (big spoilers) - FabioParme Jan 25, 14:46

- Not at all but the biggest offenders I see daily are smokers. filthy fuckers -- nm - Bacon Jan 25, 14:27 4

      - Maybe this is it - had I heard of them, I wouldn't have trusted them enough to use them, so I probably would have forgotten about them. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 14:21 1
        
        see, i was going to use them more - tRuMaN Jan 25, 14:24

      - It wouldn't be. The scenes could be shot less graphically. Probably re-locate it to Sweden or something too. -- nm - Qale Jan 25, 14:22 2
        
        I have no idea what it's about but I would see it because you wrote it. - Bacon Jan 25, 14:23 1

- The only thing made absolutely clear by the primary process thus far is that Mitt is an awful awful politician. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 25, 14:16 5
