How can you "hate" something that you have never seen. Be open minded. You might enjoy a nice flick.

Don't intend to be mean but I just don't care anymore. How much political bashing went on.??

It was fun, Eddie Murphy is a brilliant comedian. Happy funny story. Happy ending...... it's on Prime.

There was a rumor that at least one person liked the Eddie Murphy movie and now we found him.

Sorry could not resist glad you enjoyed it.

give me a break - NO comparison. How do YOU feel about the Grammy's telecast? Easy to throw out simplistic responses as this, perhaps provide some valid commentary.

Thread was about the Oscar nominations.

I nominate Hopalong Cassidy for Bar 20 Rides Again, and George "Gabby" Hayes as best supporting actor!

That IS humorous!

Sex on TV and movies has evolved gradually as long as I have been alive. I consider it a good thing and it can't be changed anyway. Europe and Asia have lead the US.

I liked "Coming 2 America". It was clever! Also liked Mr. Robot on Prime, which was not new and fairly dark. 2 polar opposite experiences yet both were well done.

I never took an interest in the private lives of actors. It was just useless "gossip" to me. When I was in my twenties, I preferred European films (if I could find them). US films were mostly bland and pointless - Rock Hudson and Doris Day come to mind. Slowly, they improved.

This year's Oscar nominations.

Glad to see News of the World received some.

My feeling about most of these actors is simple. Just shut up and act because no one and I mean no one really cares about what you think.

You do know George Clooney is on the cover of the current AARP issue and he gives an interview about his opinions, life, pranks, etc. That is the February/March 2021 issue and he is married to a brilliant human rights lawyer. Amal Clooney - Wikipedia

I could care less. Just a bunch of self righteous people telling everyone how perfect they are.

Try researching some of these people. Many are not self-righteous in the least but self-effacing and humble in their success. There are a few prideful windbags who know very little about much of anything in Hollywood. They are easy to spot.
