Where I live we where always one year after with everything. It probably was difficult getting albums distributed to us so 1994 was very much Icon for me.
Well, if you can read the threa title, you know what this is about. I'm just sitting here watching 'Along Came Polly' and I thought about making this harmless thread. Not much to explain.
Philip Seymour Hoffman - I love his versatility as an actor. He can pull off the funny rolls like when he played Sandy Lyle in 'Along Came Polly', I love the sharted scene and the clearing his throat scene and especially the basketball scene (Rain drop, old school, WHITE CHOCOLATE.) I also like him in 'The Big Lebowski' and 'Twister.' Of course, what he is known for most are his powerful performances. Of course we all know he won Best Actor for 'Capote.' He also did a wonderufl job in 'Love Liza'; '25th Hour'; 'Magnolia'; and 'Red Dragon.' A great actor.
Brian Cox - In my opinion, Brian Cox is the man. Every movie he's in is great because of him, basically. I loved his roles in 'X2'; 'Troy'; 'Super Troopers'; 'Manhunter'; and I really enjoyed his rendition of Hermann Göring in the tv series 'Nuremburg.'
Edward Norton - Of course, another favorite. What can be said? 'Red Dragon'; 'Fight Club'; '25th Hour'; and my personal favorite 'American History X'.
Those are just three among many. Arnold, Chris Lee, Mel Gibson, Jeff Bridges, Ian McKellen, Jack Nicholson. I could go on, but you get the picture.
I'm pretty sure he was talking about the lameness of calling Morgan Freeman "More Gun Freeman", which is totally lame, especially as he's an actor that's generally stayed away from overt gun use in his career on screen.
All right, thanks. It's just that one-word posts may be confusing.
Anyway, as Morgan Freeman has avoided appearing with guns on screen, the word play "More Gun Freeman" is actually a rather good joke because of the obvious contradiction in it.

I think calling that a joke would be a stretch (or even funny to be frank). Jokes work better when they play on stereotypes or irony. For example, calling him "Morgan Free Man" would have been funnier because of the fact he's black and the history of black slavery, and lack of "freedom" that came with it - therefore not a "free man". An ironic play on words, rather than an ill-conceived, clumsy play on the sound of words.
Jack Nicholson's performance in "The Shining" is outstanding and in "One Cuckoo's Nest" as well. Definitely my favorite actor with Nicolas Cage as a close runner up..... i'm completely kidding about the Nicolas Cage part

"One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" is a good flick.
and glad you are kidding about Cage. cannot stand him, always thought him a whiny bitch since the first time I saw "Valley Girl"
Cage is a terrible actor. Like I mentioned somewhere before, maybe even on this thread, he is totally unbelievable as an alcoholic on the verge of death due to too much alcohol consumption. I really cannot understand people raving about that rle of his. If you want to see a believable portrayal of an alcoholic watch Mickey Rourke in Barfly.
