He wasn’t good in it? A great performance can be in a not great film.

I don’t like him.. never have.

He did completely change is appearance... but, I was NOT impressed. My wife LOVED this movie. To me? It was like fingernails on a chalk board.

Oh...it’s not because of that. I just didn’t like him because of other things.

Matthew M was OK in LINCOLN LAWYER.
His speech was not bad...

To me, the movie was hard to follow... his character was SO UNLIKEABLE, it was hard to see when it changed...

I could never tell if he hated gays, liked gays, quit caring... or what.

I still can’t see him as anything but the character in “Dazed and Confused.”

Tough movie to watch... I kept thinking, really? Are there NO white characters with any redeeming value?

Was pretty sure it would win tonight. It was in my Top 5, but... near the bottom of that list.

>> Do we really need another movie telling us “Slavery was bad”?

Hollywood has no other material to sell the White audience.

Waiting for a big-budget flick about Anthony Johnson and John Casor. The story has everything; backstabbing, betrayal, action, and adventure. Beyoncé could even be written-in to pitch the “romantic” trope that will appeal to the sensitive crowd.

Maybe I needed to have seen it on a big screen to be more awed by the special effects.

It was just as boring on the big screen.

If this second-rate B movie actor McConenneheee can win an Best Actor award there’s hope for anyone in the business. He’s not a very good actor. Never has been. But like I said before, if you want to win an award in Hollywood, play someone with AIDs, and it really helps if you play a sodomite with AIDs, like the character who won the supporting actor award for playing an AIDs infected drag queen. The sleazier the role the better chance you have of being awarded by the immoral, homosexual-loving Hollywood crowd.

Do you ignore books and music too?

Don't listen to music, don't watch television, don't go to movies; read 3-4 novels and histories a week, pluis 1-2 science texts a week. 3-4 science papers a day.

I didn’t see Nebraska, but I do feel that Matthew McConaughey (sp?) won fair and square. That was amazing acting. No, not just the weight loss. Anyone can lose weight for millions of dollars. The ACTING.

Kind of cool that he mentioned Gd. Only wish Gd had gotten as much applause as Woody Allen.

That was hilarious, the retweet at the oscars - Ellen shutting down twitter. So funny! Twitter better rethink their power.
