Biden Administration / Re: Biden Administration
« on: Today at 04:29:55 PM »So who said this?
...
Hint: NOT the one Trump lovers like RedDick think is in cognitive decline.
And I assume not the one who reported having a parasitic worm that ate part of his brain and then died.

Completely overlooked Ash. Makes sense you would notice post-viewing Hank 5. He does good service in a garden where leeks did grow.
I assume Branagh isn't a contender in the BHMOOC, just one-ing and two-ing it mostly.
Had no idea Bale was a 15 year old casualty in H5. A minor career dip after starring in Empire of the Sun I guess.

I will just say the assumption that critcizing a black politician or jurist is racist is itself profoundly racist. It implies that black people are subordinate under a protective paternal system. And that their success will always be judged with condescension. The poster, with whom I generally do not engage, has just shown you who he really is. Believe him.

Forgot Matt Damon btw. 25, by my rough count. I would also consider him a longterm contender in the Bernard Hill Memorial Oscar Osmosis Contest. (onlookers consult previous page if you are curious WTF I'm blathering about) For sheer workaholism+competence, he is one of the champs. Seems to embody Allen's Law, 95% of life is just showing up.

New hope for the dead!
Yeah, I remember my dad, a newsman, telling us how VIP obits were often written years in advance and stored in a file for quick retrieval and any needed amendments when the reaper or crab monster actually showed up. The DeH sisters were in there for many years I'm sure.

Forum management know where I'm from...they're computer experts.
You can't get emails ending in .com.au if you're not from the land of the kangaroos.
Nonsense. Anyone, in about 90% of the world's nations, can set up an account with an VPN server. And get a foreign IP address and email.
And "forum management" here is not a computer expert by the remotest stretch of imagination. If the site owner ever emerges from hiding, I would be happy to offer my services. I could eliminate spam, future spam accounts, SSL certificate problems, and apostrophe/non-AASCI character glitches in about an hour. And guide the owner to switching us to https, instead of http. Maybe bring a few locked out members back, of interested.

Great Joe patter, Larry! (made me think of that comedian who was Obama's Anger Translator)
When a nation pisses on the articles of the Geneva Convention to the degree Israel has, they deserve whatever pariah status they get. I don't want another penny of my taxes to go towards pulverizing children en masse. Especially by cowards several thousand feet up, bombing people they never have to see. You wanna kill civilians, then do it with your fingernails up close and personal. See how that goes.

Yes, Fiennes is more a rat catcher when it comes to film roles. Moriarty, Harry Waters, Voldemort, Nazi commandant, the psycho in Red Dragon...

A river reallly runs through that.
BTW, an honorable mention to Jack Hawkins who managed a score of 27 whilst dying in 1973 at age 62 and never going anywhere near a CGI.
Ben Hur 11
Bridge/Kwai 7
Larry of Sands 7
Nicholas and Alexandra 2
Also,
Colin Firth, 24
Speer schutteln im Liebe 7
English Patient 9
The Kings Peach 4
1917 3
Barbie 1
(cameo, as Darcy)(a stretch, it being a clip, but he does speak)
So, will just make this observation. Fiennes and Firth are both in their early sixties, in seeming good health and looking like the sort of durable Limey that can easily make it to 90 before considering retirement. Fiennes could say on top for a while, or be surpassed by the 49 year old DiCaprio who also seems in it for the long haul, or by Firth as a longshot. Perhaps in a Bridget Jones The Musical that takes Tinseltown by storm, shortly after Fiennes and DiCaprio both perish in tragic gardening accidents. Or possibly Fiennes in a gardening accident and DiCaprio in a drinking accident.

Fiennes looking good for it.
And I forgot Nicholson, who also has three BPs (and a ton of near misses)
The Departed, Terms of Endearment, and One Flew Over.
Alas, that means that asylum resident Billy Bibbit may end with higher numbers than RP McMurphy, since Bibbit (Brad Dourif) was in at least two LOTR films.
If one ran this number game on nominations, Mr Gittes might be a contender.
Stopping now.

The counters cant tell whether they are bought or just bargained for.
