I was very disappointed to learn Mark Ruffalo would replace Ed Norton. Norton was excellent as Bruce Banner, and The Hulk was great. Besides, Ruffalo has the appearance and slurred speech of a hobo. I can't imagine him trying to play a brilliant scientist.

Thor and Captain America were much weaker than Iron Man and The Hulk (though Helmsworth worked out surprisingly well), Scarlett Johannson was awful in Iron Man 2, Samuel Jackson is overrated, and Mark Ruffalo will be in it. But, I still have some hope for The Avengers.

It seems Marvel wants to make sure their movies are no better than their comics.

Unity with what or whom? Unity with Democrats? Why not? Too Liberal? But unity with RINO's is okay? That's what got us into trouble in the first place. The Republican party needs us conservatives more than we need it.

Nazism is a form of Socialism. The very name "Nazi" means National Socialist. As everyone knows, Socialism is Leftist. It's really very simple... ya Leftie.

"Are you aware that an actor is just repeating words written on a page?"
Of course, I am. Why do you ask?

The words I wrote, which you must have read say, I came across episode 8 of season 4 in which Nazism is represented as "right-wing" and "conservative". It still makes me sick. To whom do I assign blame? In fact, the ridiculous lines to which I referred were not uttered by James Garner, but rather by Louis Gossett, Jr. And in my comment, I didn't assign blame for it to anyone. Not to Garner, not to Gosset, not even to the writers.

Reading is fundamental.

And it's easy to talk about tolerance and respect.

Nazism is German National SOCIALISM. As a matter of historical fact, Nazis were, and are, Leftists similarly to Communists and modern-day Democrats and all others who reject liberty and promote tyranny.

It's true, you can occasionally find a Conservative or a Republican who is as intolerant and vicious as a Democrat. But, the survival of the Democratic Party, in its current form, actually depends on racism, violence, threats of violence, and voter fraud.

Rockford Files is one of my favorite TV shows not only because Jim Rockford is such a likable guy, but also because of the regular ensemble with whom he interacts in a very real way.

I had recently been viewing the episodes in chronological order, when I came across episode 8 of season 4 in which Nazism is represented as "right-wing" and "conservative".

It still makes me sick.

I used to enjoy "Castle" regularly, but Stana Katic's is one of the most unrealistic cop portrayals I've ever seen. "Kate" comes across extremely unprofessional. Almost like "Twilight" with a badge. Or a darker "Charlie's Angels".

I find it hard to believe anyone considers Clooney, DiCaprio, or Murray as 'great' actors. There's no reason for it.
You got funny jokes, wiseguy. But Lost in Translation was a good movie, and well-acted by Murray. Did you watch it on your iPod? Maybe his performance was lost in.. nevermind.
I think DeNiro and Pacino belong on this list.
Kudos for the rest, especially (yawn) Streep.
P.S. Nicholson was lots of fun in one of my favorites: Going South.

When even the movie's example of a 'good' man, Mo, is portrayed as having surrendered to his woman rather than as a victor over his childishness, it must be acknowledged that Leftist feminism saturates the otherwise Conservative message. It might also be fairly observed that the soliloquies by Gina and Paul are delivered a bit haltingly. But these are only noticeable in the context of brilliant execution overall. Beautiful Girls is an underrated classic.

No you have it backwards. It's the Democrats who are the source of ugly, self-indulgent, talentless noise.
