- nutter butter! -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 11:54
- Whatever it is, I hope it comes with an admonishment that the *legislators* are the ones who are supposed to make the laws. Not by ballot initiative. -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:52 3
  - If the legislators make a law saying that laws can be made by ballot imitative, doesn't that put your logic in a Catch-22? -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 11:55 2
    - [deleted]

- I sometimes despair that Stupid is winning. - Reagen Aug 4, 11:49 11
  - I worry about the growth of "you're stupid" over "you're wrong because..." - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 12:06 1
    - And I don't even know if there's growth there. It's certainly not new. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 12:08
  - I fear Idiocracy will in fact become reality. - JaxSean Aug 4, 11:57 3
    - It's already close to reality. A shame it wasn't a better movie than it was in concept though. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 12:00 1
      - "Sean likes Idiocracy." - JaxSean Aug 4, 12:02
    - I mean, look at the way Dano acts when Wipeout is on! -- nm - David Aug 4, 11:57
  - it's more loud + angry is winning, IMO. People are blindly following the loud or loud+angry. Although that's always been the case - Flavorize Aug 4, 11:52
  - Gail Simone has a sublime take on this in Killer Princesses. -- (link) - David Aug 4, 11:51
  - Stupid will always win, to some extent. A great level of intelligence is not necessary for the species to survive. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:51 2
    - I know! One day spewing semen from a bottle on a woman might take! -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 4, 11:59

- Good stuff! -- nm - Diva Aug 4, 12:08

- thats a pritty redundant decription - Danedukenuuk Aug 4, 12:34
- Although I'm sure Glenn Beck can draw me a picture. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 11:42 1
  - And then start weeping. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:44
*twitch* Torchlight 2 -- (link) - oblique Aug 4, 11:41
Poll: Movies where a supporting actor stole the movie. - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 11:41 78
- any movie in which Don Cheadle is in a supporting role -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 4, 12:37
- Both Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt and maybe even Chris Walken for True Romance. - groiny Aug 4, 12:08 1
  - Dennis Hopper and Walken probably split that one. Pitt, logged only a few minutes, but was very memorable, true -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 12:11
- What's her face in Casino, not sure if she was supporting though. -- nm - Loyola Aug 4, 12:07
- Brett Farve - Something about Mary -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 12:06
- Cameron Diaz, the Mask. -- nm - Loyola Aug 4, 12:03

  - Kilmer -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 12:01 3
    - Kilmer in Tombstone -- nm - prayformojo Aug 4, 12:03 2
      - Yes! Very true! Possibly Kilmer in Top Gun also -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 12:04 1
        
        I'm seeing a pattern here, with regards to Tom Cruise movies :) -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 12:05
- The black dude in Jerry MaGuire. -- nm - Loyola Aug 4, 11:58
- DDL in Gangs of New York, Rickman in Die Hard, Morgan Freeman in Shawshank, The Kid in SIxth Sense -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 11:57 4
  - haven't seen GONY but agree with the rest of these, esp. Rickman -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:58 3
    - The Rickman choice is puzzling, since DH is the movie that made Willis an A-list actor -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 12:01 2
      - I think it was because of Rickman, eating up the screen, that Willis + Die Hard did so well. -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 12:09
      - it's too bad ... - zork Aug 4, 12:06
- Any number of movies starring Woody Allen -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 4, 11:57
- 3rd Abe in Primer -- nm - prayformojo Aug 4, 11:57
- Robert Shaw in Jaws -- nm - eag Aug 4, 11:55
- Oh, and in terms of actresses I'll say Marisa Tomei is a classic example. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:52
- Kevin Spacey in Seven? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 11:50
- Hmm. Palance in City Slickers. Maybe Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys. Or jeff Bridges in The Contender. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:49

  - Ummm... McLovin, Inigo, and Papa Jones? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 11:47 2
    - I don't even know that Inigo is the best of the supporting cast....Andre the Giant was pretty damn entertaining -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:48 1
      - not to mention Billy Crystal. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:49
- Hattie in GWTW, Rutger in Blade Runner, Connery in Last Crusade -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:45 3
  - Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:47 2
    - Yul Brynner in Westworld -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:50 1
      - Joe Pesci in Letal Weapon 2 -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:53
- Andy Serkis in The Two Towers -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:44
- Tommy Lee Jones - The Fugitive (didn't deserve the Oscar, but he stole the movie) -- nm - Jim Aug 4, 11:43 10
  - "I forgive you." for giving him my Oscar. -- nm - Ralph Fiennes Aug 4, 11:44 9
    - Sorry, I pardon you. - Ralph Fiennes Aug 4, 11:44 8
      - wait he lost to Tommy Lee Jones that year? - Mel Profit Aug 4, 11:54 7
        
        TLJ won for the Fugitive over Fiennes in Schindlers. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:54 5
        
        that's nuts. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 4, 11:57 4
        
        Most people could not get through SL. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 12:02 1
        
        *makes out during it* -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 12:02
        
        I think there was just a sense of "well, Schindler's going to win all these other awards, let's spread it around" - Reagen Aug 4, 12:00 1
        
        that's one hell of a snub. - Mel Profit Aug 4, 12:08
        
        I'm an idiot...but if that's true that's...crazy. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 4, 11:54
- Han Solo in SW. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:43 2

  - GgGR is a great call - prayformojo Aug 4, 11:43 1
    - This clip is all you need to see. -- (link) - Inigo Aug 4, 11:45 [youtube]
- Kevin James in Hitch -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 11:42
- Silence of the Lambs, obviously. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:42 13
  - He won Best Actor for that role -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 11:44 12
    - yes, though he arguable should have been "supporting". Though Foster is superb in it too, so I'm not sure I'd say Hopkins stole it. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:44 11
      - she was the lead actress and he was the lead actor -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:48 2
        
        I think the original intent was for it to be a supporting role, but I could be wrong. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:52 1
        
        perhaps, like the way Gregory Peck was supposed to get sole top billing in Roman Holiday? - zork Aug 4, 11:57
      - You could say the main "villian"/Buffalo stole the show too. He had some great scenes. But, obviously didn't top Foster and Hopkins -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 11:47 4
        
        so freaky when my wife pointed out that the captain in Monk is that guy. - zork Aug 4, 11:51 3
        
        yep. He was a cop in Heat too. That slow drawl that he has will always be freaky -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 12:03
        
        Also the warden in Shutter Island. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:54 1
        
        i instantly recognised him there -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:58
      - This. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:46
      - Yeah.....shortest time for a actor winner ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:45

- Tom Hardy, Inception -- nm - chuckles Aug 4, 11:41
- Dark Knight is Ledger's movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:41 2
  - This works for Nicholson in Tim Burton's Batman as well, IMO -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:45 1
    - (Or, I can just agree with Jim :-P) -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:51
