Colin Farrell is taking a break.

"No other comments [are] to be made this time," Smith said.

Yeah, I am sure the local democrat persecutors, oops I mant prosecutors, will now give him the full Rush Limbaugh treatment. No one in American history has received the outrageous "investigation" that Rush is receiving.

The same one. I saw it just to see if it was as bad as everyone said it was. It wasn't. It was worse.

I made the mistake of renting Alexander the Gay. Words cannot describe how laughably bad this turkey smells to high heaven. Oliver Stone has become demented.

I made the same mistake. Even the battle scenes were terrible.
The homo-overtones were so overdone it was amazing.

Plus they all spoke in slurred Irish. The cast sounded high as kites. LOL.

OK, but I also wish him the same legal treatment Rush had.

Next he should seek stupid treatment. Then maybe he'd stop making such awful movies.

Good luck to Colin Farrell, although for the record he's no hunk.

I have severe back pain every day. I live with it.

 

Then again, I'm not a "hunk" or a movie star.
