  - I haven't yet read all of them, but, um..most. - b. Jan 27, 13:03 3

  - And a cad! -- nm - pmb Jan 27, 12:32 3
    - And a rapscallion! -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:51 2
      - And a scoundrel! -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:53 1
        
        I think you need more scoundrels in your life. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 12:55
- The movie he was in was awful. Add in he's a useless clod...easy call. - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:23
- cause Indy 4 never happened. -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:22 8
  - Only if we can throw out Indy 3, as well. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 12:52 7
    - that's DLC. -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 13:10
    - Whoa David, it's not cool to use other people's accou.....oh, wait Spawn, really? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:59 2
      - We have discussed it here. The weakest of the trilogy, by a mile. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 13:01 1
        
        you're confused today. It's 2 that stinks, 3 is the one with SConn. It's ok -- nm - mud Jan 27, 13:09
    - this is the craziest thing that has ever been said. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:54 2
      - Please. It's 100% wrong yet it still wouldn't make his bottom 20 of Stupid. -- nm - David Jan 27, 13:02
      - this is spawn we are talking about, you might need to step that accusation down a bit. -- nm - Truman Jan 27, 12:57
- because. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:22
- He is a cannibal? -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 12:21
- Overrated by a motorbots movie? Too drunk in the Walgreens? -- nm - budice Jan 27, 12:21
- he is a bad actor? With no screen presence? -- nm - TWuG Jan 27, 12:20 19
  - and RKD's threats were taken seriously. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:42
  - what's funny is, as a kid, he had tons of charisma. I actually remember seeing Even Stevens and thinking he made the show. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:30 17
    - he was a pretty decent actor who had a really good career ahead of him and he's pissed it away -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 12:35 14
      - yep. That said, I thuoght he was good in 'Fury'. -- nm - Diva Jan 27, 12:37 8
        
        yeah, I do not actively dislike his acting, but he seems like a real dickhole. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 27, 12:46 7
        
        agreed and it's getting harder for his work to transcend that perception. -- nm - Diva Jan 27, 12:50 6
        
        a movie with him, Ed Norton and Katherine Heigl would cause any director to off himself. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 27, 12:51 5
        
        What was it, The Score with Brando, DeNiro and Norton? That director needed therapy afterwards. - Will Hunting Jan 27, 13:17 2
        
        Frank Oz. Reportedly, Brando would refer to him as Miss Piggy, and refused to wear pants. -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 13:26 1
        
        Let's not overlook the potential that Brando couldn't fit into pants at that time. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 13:27
        
        at least Norton fights for quality. -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 13:13
        
        cruel and unusual punishment. -- nm - Diva Jan 27, 12:54
      - I think he actually has legitimate mental health issues that have caused a lot of this. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 27, 12:37 4
        
        i don't know if he's done a program or not, but he realizes he has a problem with alcohol. - Diva Jan 27, 12:41 2
        
        iirc, he has done treatment but didn't enter a facility-type program. I agree with Kim, I think there's more behind it. -- nm - b. Jan 27, 12:55 1
        
        I equate alcoholism with mental illness. Hope whatever the issues are he can get control of them. -- nm - Diva Jan 27, 13:04
        
        like, not full Amanda Bynes, but maybe a deciBynes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:39
    - it all went to his head. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 27, 12:31 1
      - the last movies I liked were 2007 - Transformers and Disturbia. He was great in those -- nm - Epiphany Jan 27, 12:34
Craig Ferguson has signed a development deal with Lionsgate Television. -- (link) - GregW Jan 27, 12:06 5
- my idea for a game,talk show that Craig would be good for.... - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 27, 12:16 4
  - I like it except it seems like it would limit Craig a bit. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 12:18 1
    - we could go full Dinner with Andre' and have craig tell fantastic stories and have the guests decide if trueth or fiction - zeitgeist Jan 27, 12:43
  - I'd watch this show. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 27, 12:17
  - interesting -- nm - Epiphany Jan 27, 12:17

- Let us remember. - Quint Jan 27, 12:03 5
  - someone named Quint better be in the movie -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:13
  - Drunk out of his mind. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:09 2
    - In some takes, and completely sober in others. So, the whole speech is him sometimes being hammered, and sometimes being lucid. - Inigo Jan 27, 12:12

Grammar Nazis - this plate is on an RV around the corner from here 'PA8RIOT' - am I right to be disturbed...or is it just the OCD kicking in? :) -- nm - Meg Jan 27, 11:57 9
- That's that punk rock group The Pennsylvania Eight. -- nm - Max Jan 27, 12:25
- Be disturbed. They are obviously encroaching on your territory. Expect them to be armed, but only using the flag as a shield. - TWuG Jan 27, 12:19
- Just presume that P8RIOT was already taken. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:11 2
  - Did they even try for P8R10T? -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:26
  - I've been hoping that was the case :) -- nm - Meg Jan 27, 12:23
- "Pa-ate-riot"? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 27, 12:08 2
  - putin really doesn't like pussy riot -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 27, 13:38
