    - an eye exam -- nm - ty97 Jan 11, 15:31
- shouldn't his own picture be on it too? - slipping jimmy Jan 11, 15:17 6
  - Speaking of, Trump makes his weasely attack on Cruz's citizenship by saying the democrats would tie him up in litigation for years if he was elected. - pmb Jan 11, 15:20 5
    - At least one says he would. -- (link) - mara Jan 11, 15:32 2
      - That's disappointing. -- nm - pmb Jan 11, 15:38 1
        
        Yes. I kind of hope other Dems distance themselves from the concept now that he's brought it up. -- nm - mara Jan 11, 15:41
    - I'm surprised they've started going after each other now. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 11, 15:30

Is ST aware of Conan O'Brien's Serious Jibber Jabber? - TWuG Jan 11, 14:45 3
- Yeah. I regret that I don't have time to watch these Charlie Rose-style in depth interviews. -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 14:51 2
  - I put them on and just listen while doing other things. The visuals aren't necessary. -- nm - TWuG Jan 11, 14:52 1
    - Yeah, they could probably be listened to as podcasts, but my podcast library already has a huge backlog. -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 14:56

Denzel Washington. One of the greatest actors of all time? -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 14:30 38
- [deleted] 1
  - See, I think he could play a goat. And brilliantly. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 11, 15:42
- No, but I loved him in Glory and Training Day. He's good but that is a little too high a compliment considering actors that are in another level. -- nm - Bacon Jan 11, 15:11
- I'd say no, he seems to be roughly the same guy in every role I've seen him in. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 11, 15:01 1
  - he definitely was more varied in the movies below; but, for the more phoning-in-type roles, that's my criticism. it's not that he was bad, more -- (edited) - b. Jan 11, 15:06
- Yes, definitely. -- nm - budice Jan 11, 14:57
- Sure. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 11, 14:48
- I love Denzel, but i was annoyed by how unprepared he was last night. Dude, have a plan. -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 14:45 1
  - Same. It was embarassing. When he started he said he forgot his notes at home, but he still had most of the evening to prepare. -- nm - pmb Jan 11, 14:49
- [deleted] 12
  - Agreed. I like a lot films he's been in but not necessarily because of his acting. I think he's a good actor but not an all time great. -- nm - Krusty Jan 11, 14:56
  - I think he's better than Pacino because he's more restrained. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 14:46 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - Pacino has had exactly one great performance at an age older than Washington is now. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 15:01
      - he was good till he started hanging around with william shattner -- nm - Chateau du zeitgeist Jan 11, 14:56
  - Yeah I agree with this. He was awesome in Training Day. But one of the greatest? No. -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 14:45 6
    - training day, malcolm x, the hurricane, glory, cry freedom. -- nm - b. Jan 11, 14:49 5

        I'm puttin charges on *all* you mothers -- nm - Chateau du zeitgeist Jan 11, 14:57
        
        I think he made those characters stand out more. part of it is directing, but once it's different people in the mix.. -- nm - b. Jan 11, 14:55
- Yup. -- nm - The Death Sceire Jan 11, 14:39
- yes. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 14:38
- Yes. -- nm - Diva Jan 11, 14:36
- Aside: Last night, Tom Hanks did a better Denzel impersonation than Denzel did. -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 14:34 2
  - Probably the first time I've ever heard the imdb mentioned at an awards ceremony too. -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 14:39 1
    - They skipped The Mighty Quinn in those clips. -- nm - nic to be named later Jan 11, 14:42
- Absolutely. -- nm - ML Jan 11, 14:33
- Even if all he'd done was Malcolm X. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 14:33 4
  - I haven't seen it, and I still think he's worthy. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 14:44
  - yah, that's sort of it for me - when he's been great, he's been *so* good, that it way tips those for which he seemed more phoning it in or the like. - b. Jan 11, 14:43 2
    - b! - budice Jan 11, 14:47 1
      - boo.! - b. Jan 11, 14:50
- I'd have to rewatch his older speeches but I get the impression he's patient but bewildered by other people. - Max Jan 11, 14:33 1
  - he was fine in the past, so last night was odd. it's not like he didn't know he was receiving the award. he has also done well on talk shows. -- nm - b. Jan 11, 14:36
- if not top 10 then at least top 20 -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 11, 14:32
- Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 14:30
Bowie's final photographs.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 11, 14:28 10
- Well dressed, handsome, laughing, boyish. To the very end. -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 14:33
- Wonder if he had a bad reaction to chemo or something. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 14:31 1
  - maybe, or maybe it was that they picked one of his good days to do it. - b. Jan 11, 14:40
- good gravy, he looks fantastic. - Mel Profit Jan 11, 14:31 5
  - If that's an indicator of impending death, then we're all fine. -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 14:34 4
    - Alternatively, we're about to go any second. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 14:35 3
      - That's what I'm afraid of. -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 14:46
      - I may never smile again. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 11, 14:41 1

From BB: Cinerama now shows classic Looney Tunes shorts before films. (Marvin the Martian was before Star Wars on Friday.) - psilotum Jan 11, 14:19 2
- That's pretty awesome. -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 14:39
- also, reserved seats with plenty of legroom. -- nm - psilotum Jan 11, 14:20
I looked at PSY and said "For 30 minutes you haven't spoken a word of English. You speak English?" And PSY looked at me and said "I went to Berkeley." - Mop Jan 11, 14:17 [youtube]
How did Helen Mirren know, immediately after opening the envelop for best foreign language film, that Hungary had never won a GG before? -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 14:15 12
- She did her research? She knew ahead of time what category she had and looked up info on each. - nic to be named later Jan 11, 14:38
- She was using a different database than Quentin. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 14:28
- that was literally the last thing on my mind watching Helen Mirren open that envelope -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 11, 14:18 3
  - I was writing slash fiction, in my mind, where I was a necklace nestled in the bosom of an experienced English Actress. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 11, 14:20 2
    - "you naughty people" -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 11, 14:21 1
      - I haven't felt that great a disturbance in The Force, for a celeb, since some lil minx wore a metal bikini. - Mel Profit Jan 11, 14:25
- [deleted] 1
  - it surprises me because of all the cinema people that escaped during the revolutions, esp woody allen's photog who died recently prob deserved one -- nm - Chateau du zeitgeist Jan 11, 15:04
- I figured she did her research when she found out the category for which she'd be presenting. -- nm - b. Jan 11, 14:17
- the teleprompter? -- (edited) - Andie Jan 11, 14:16 2
  - Oh right :) -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 14:19

  - It has Clemson +6.5 bet on them to win? -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 14:13 6
    - I'm more confident on the Under, but yes I like Clemson and the points. If you want to be risky, take the money line +215 -- nm - Strongbad Jan 11, 14:15 5
      - Done. 42 euro on the Under. -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 14:18 4
