Equally bad.<BR/><BR/>"Brokeback" more than made up for any of the duds.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like his "Joker" performance was quite deep too.<BR/><BR/>Excellent piece.<BR/><BR/>When he made the lynching comment, I told myself he's a fairly young guy from another country. Whatever he's heard about here he heard from some ill-informed "Jaywalking" mouth breather. At least when I saw the video of that remark, he did preface it by saying "from what I understand" meaning it was not something he knew for sure.Buzzardbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755522048417416544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455980.post-47717701661835144872008-01-25T18:47:00.001-05:002008-01-25T18:47:00.001-05:00And I didn't see Four Feathers. :)And I didn't see Four Feathers. :)The Film Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07080767812254265614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455980.post-33469089797183268102008-01-25T18:47:00.000-05:002008-01-25T18:47:00.000-05:00Word, FG.

He was off by a few years. <BR/><BR/>The comment also was a response to reports that some theaters in WV were not going to show Brokeback Mountain. He answered with sarcasm. Kinda like "So you're voting for Obama then."<BR/><BR/>I said early in the post I have no idea what sort of human he was. But I do know of at least one instance where his role touched some lives, and did some good.The Film Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07080767812254265614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455980.post-47413833940916020492008-01-25T18:17:00.000-05:002008-01-25T18:17:00.000-05:00I'll remember he called me a "racist bastard" and ...I'll remember he called me a "racist bastard" and never apologized for saying it. <BR/><BR/>I'll also remember that I rented "Four Feathers".
