  - *ugh* I was doing country radio when he hit big. I got real tired real quick of him -- nm - Remlik Oct 15, 11:51 1
    - Low Places I don't like - it's reached "never wanna hear it again" status along with songs like Brown Eyed Girl and Margharittaville. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 11:53
- Friends In Low Places - Danedukenuuk Oct 15, 11:50 [youtube]
- Friends In Low Places or The River. -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 11:49 1
  - (I grew fond of The River because we did it in my acappella group.) -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 11:49
- Thunder Road, Friends in Low Places, Shameless, If Tomorrow Never Comes, Standing Outside the Fire, Unanswered Prayers, etc., etc., - Stephen Oct 15, 11:48 10
  - The Thunder *Rolls* - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:49 9
    - Heh, you would have gotten bonus points if you had mentioned who sings Thunder ROAD. - kelly Oct 15, 11:57 2
      - Bruce Springsteen, but that's really not the point of discussing in a Garth Brooks thread. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:57 1
        
        WOW!! -- nm - kelly Oct 15, 12:06
    - You can't do that for a typo! - Stephen Oct 15, 11:52

Halle beat Nicole, Sissy Spacek in In the Bedroom, Dame Judi in Iris and Renee in Bridget Jones. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 11:42 1
- [deleted]
ive never much liked Halle Berry's acting, but I thought she was fantastic in Monster's Ball - Guy Oct 15, 11:42 10
- Having never seen it, "when she finds out and is taking it all in" sums up what I heard about it. - Spawn Oct 15, 11:45
- [deleted] 3
  - It's not like only the Academy gave her accolades. Her performance was lauded by critics too. -- nm - Inigo Oct 15, 11:48 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I though she was good but not great. Of the five, I would have given it to Dench (although I couldn't get through all of Iris). -- nm - Inigo Oct 15, 11:51
- And she has range, too. I mean, from that to Swordfish ......................... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 11:44 2

LIR - the nominees for Best Actress that year were Kidman (Moulin Rouge), Dench (Iris), Zellweger (Bridget Jones) and Spacek (In the Bedroom) -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 11:42 18
- In the Bedroom is one of my top five movies. Spacek was amazing. -- nm - nubby Oct 15, 11:52
- [deleted] 16
  - In The Bedroom is gut wrenching. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 11:46 1
    - so beautifully done on all aspects - Epiphany Oct 15, 11:52
  - i lurve Nicole Kidman and think she's one of the best working actresses, but (Guy wrongness� inside) - Guy Oct 15, 11:46 6
    - one of my favorite movies of all time -- nm - decline Oct 15, 11:53
    - yeah, you're wrong -- nm - big time shamu Oct 15, 11:51
    - i *love* it. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 11:47
    - My standard line is that the first 45 minutes are breathtaking, but the last 6 hours so are a bit of a slog. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 11:47 1
      - heh. well put. :) -- nm - Guy Oct 15, 11:47
    - Kidman was the worst part of that movie, imho. -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 11:46
  - Dench had recently won an undeserved Oscar (though it was compensation for losing a deserved one) - Roger More Oct 15, 11:45 3
    - nope - they had just split when she started doing the publicity. - Andie Oct 15, 11:47
    - [deleted]
    - Obviosuly these are political things about voting - I am hopeless at assessing acting performances -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 11:46
  - Recognizing that they weren't going to give the BP to Fellowship that year, In the Bedroom should have won. - Reagen Oct 15, 11:44 1
    - It really is. -- nm - Callisto Oct 15, 11:45
  - over Dench, at least, ugh. -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 11:44
really, CNN.com? - znufrii Oct 15, 11:40 7
- CNN has to be the product the most STers and simultaneously bitch about - con_carne Oct 15, 11:48 2
  - ESPN still exists. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:48
  - STers *use* -- nm - con_carne Oct 15, 11:48
- News in America moves at a glacial pace. Nothing ever happens. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 11:46

  - "Really? You're going to fact check a SNL sketch?" -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 11:41
I saw Garth back in the mid 90's - he puts on a great live show. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 11:39 4
- AFAIR he was the first "crossover" country/rock/pop artist -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 15, 11:41 3
  - Not really - numerous country stars have had crossover hits long before Brooks ever hit the scene. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 11:47 2
    - Country was dying until the late 80's.....he basically stop on top of what Randy Travis, George Strait had done and with Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:51 1
      - He was definitely a huge part of making country mainstream in the early 90s, but hardly the first to crossover. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 11:58

- im surprised how much I like Blueprint 3 -- nm - Guy Oct 15, 11:43
i'm a dork and i deserve what's coming to me -- nm - big time shamu Oct 15, 11:37 1

    - [deleted]
    - I think getting rid of the tilt-shift opening credits on Dollhouse has been my greatest disappointment about Season 2. -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 11:41 4
      - I miss the "Dollhouse will return in.." buffers. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 11:45 2
        
        Fringe. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 11:49 1

      - Did you watch past the credits? Because I don't think you'd say that if you had. -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 11:42
