No, just an overabundance of hatred for self and others, no doubt. I mean, who else takes time to even type a comment like that here...really...just go to another thread if you're bored.

Shia LaBeouf is a good one. He's a young'n, but I think he'll be one of the best ever.

OMG! I forgot Morgan Freeman. I cannot believe I disregarded him in my earlier thread...yes, well, most of you won't care and sorry to have wasted your time, but it was an epiphany for me after seeing "The Shawshank Redemption" tonight.

Yeah, I'll never forget him as a Nazi dentist in Marathon Man: "Is it safe?"

Yes. Nice...I enjoyed that film as well. Much, much better than I'd expected.

The only thing that kind of brought it down for me was that stupid crucifix weapon he carted around in the second half.

I agree w/both, but mainly w/Tom Cruise b/c in "Interview with a Vampire". I practically wept when he got that role, but he was superlative...raised my respect for him to a high level.

As for Chris Bale, as you call him, he is my second fave actor...oh, geez, if not my very fave of all time. His performance in "Equilibrium" was astounding.

True. Not that bad. Not that good either.

If he was good enough for Kubrick, he's good enough. Just not one of the "best", IMO.
