Glarkypaargen. In other words, I parked in a private parking lot for thirty minutes to retrieve my friends' child last night from their grandparents' flat, and my car was towed. $350 later, I'm at work late, hungover, and happy. The sun's shining through my office's window and life is full of promise.

Oh darn.

That's the good thing with starting out a day poorly; it can only go up from there. Maybe I should hook up my alarm clock to the fire alarm.

There you have it. Start low and you can only get higher.

He's an incedible actor.

It's because of his performance in Titanic that I've developed a lifelong hatred of icebergs.




BTW,
I said this to Mel Gibson once (ran into him at a Quizno's. Nice guy).
He said that's why he hated jews.
I tol' him, "No, Mel....I said 'icebergs'."
He said, "Icebergs, Goldbergs...same thing."

I haven't heard him being referred to as cute meat since Titanic, and that was almost 10 years ago! Geez.

Canada's as bad as our press..lol

Completely agree. Those three films are precisely the ones I was thinking of as well.

cborgman said:

You and I seem to share a number of similar opinions.

I would add Kalifornia to your Pitt list as well. It seems this movie gets a mixed reaction generally speaking, but Pitt's role in this film was one which earned his acting ability more respect in my book.

a babyface with too large teeth?????

WillyWonka said:

Me too. And like origmnd, I would add Basketball Diaries to the list. I was so annoyed when he got all mainstream after Titanic.

(The same thing kinda happened for me with Johnny Depp & Pirates, too. I don't like it when something/one is too popular. )

considering that he acts with as much talent as seen in a typical high school play, he should have stuck with that idea.

WillyWonka said:

yes, we do.

and thank you, i forgot to add that to the list. he was great in that.

although, i still like depp...a LOT

leo still looks like a kid. i thought he was terribly miscast in 'the aviator', and it's a stretch to see him playing any of the manly-man leading role butch characters he's done since titanic. i think he's a good actor, but i also think gilbert grape and titanic have been the only movies he really 'belonged' in. maybe romeo & juliet...

Anx said:

What's Eating Gilbert Grape was the only time I thought he was great. I loved that movie to bits. He was always too pubescent looking for me to find him a cute piece of meat. Even now he looks bloated and pubescent.

I WAS JUST going to write this.

FAVE MOVIE EV.

Leo's performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape was stellar, and outshone all of the other actors. As much as I adore Johnny, I felt like he was just sort of playing himself. Leo, on the other hand, really dove into the role, and was so real and endearing. What a great movie. Still can't watch it without crying though...

He looks like a piece of cut meat alright.

jone70 said:

Argh! I know! I've been a fan of Johnny since 21 Jump Street, and have seen over 2 dozen of his films. (besides Pirates) It's so frustrating that people look at him and all they see is Jack Sparrow.

He'll always be Edward to me!

Benny & Joon! I loved the marionette dance thing he did with the forks & dinner rolls.

That was great! I haven't tried making grilled cheese sandwiches with an iron, but I was tempted...

ed wood - the angora belly dance still cracks me up.

cborgman said:

That was fantastic! I actually watched that Ed Wood film he was making at the eend, and it is terrible. In a good way.

One of his most memorable (yet brief) performances was in Before Night Falls. He played a drag queen named Bon Bon, who smuggled an author's book out of jail (a few pages at a time) with his butt.

UCantHavaDaMango said:

and the guard as well. he was great in that too.

and you mean "plan 9 from outer space"? yea, it's a classic. i absolutely love it. "ed wood" made a big ed wood fan out of me. i have them all on dvd

a friend of mine back when we were young had never seen "ed wood" so i showed it to him. he couldn't believe "plan 9" was THAT bad, so i showed it to him. he then said that it wasn't THAT bad, that we could make a worse movie, so we did.

it's fun to make intentionally bad movies. we had a blast, and came up with lots of funny in jokes that are in our movie, and lots of nods to other bad sci-fi. my friend actually took it up to tthe college he attended and ended up running the video numerous times that day in the student lounge, cause people were calling their friends and saying "you gotta come see this." we ended up doing two sequals to it, each worse than the last.

good times...

Best response in this thread.

He's very attractive imo & I can see how someone who's serious about their craft can be annoyed w/ the whole teen mag sensation bullshit. I loved him in B-ball Diaries, Gilbert Grape, Romeo & Juliet, The Depaaahted...

Just watched The Aviator today, that movie was pretty shitty BUT I still liked him (though I thought he was miscast). Never saw the Beach, Titanic was shit (in terms of requiring any acting skill), have yet to see Blood Diamond but I'd like to. I dig him, he just needs to stay away from stupid shit...

what a pussy!

why do actors make out that they have real jobs?
