Well, this got fun since a couple of days ago.

But my favorite post by far is:

"You don't have to take my word for it, you can search the entire historical record and see I never once glorified the rapist of Japan."

They over use the word glorify. I'm sure they don't know what it actually means.

Amazing box office numbers this weekend make him a shoo in for the Oscar.
Could very well earn him a TONY as well.

"This queen still at it?"

You sure are. I didn't think someone of your age could actually keep up. I am amazed.

I'm not a lieutenant Namo, haterobics. I'm Mrs. LtCol (Ret) USAF.

You'll have to take that up with Aaron Sorkin.

Also, you just have to go back one page to see JJammer say more than one word against military personnel, those who work at desks.

"oops. You either misread or used the wrong name. I have never said anything against anyone in the military ever."

I can see haterobic's joke sailed right over your head. Anyways...

Can any of the Cooper fans explain what he brought to the role of Merrick that makes his performance worthy of the Tony, more than any actor who came before? Yes, it's a showy role, but it has never won the award for any actor playing it. And usually when someone talks about giving an acting award for a revival it's because the actor reinvents the role and makes it their own (a la Cumming in Alan Cabaret or Patina Miller in Pippin).

Although he's gotten good reviews, I hardly hear anyone talking about how his performance redefines how we think of John Merrick. Certainly not rising to the level of acclaim that Alex Sharp seems to get for "Curious Incident".

"Anyways" is not a real word.

And?

Nope.

Webster would disagree with you, Liza

Thanks Hater--always nice to have an opinion shared..

Fantod. Oh, I am SO SORRY. I should said it's not a properword to be used in the form of written word. Happy now?

If you take the time to actually read that link you posted, you'll notice it's defined as either "archaic" (ie. no longer considered legitimate) or "chiefly dialect" (ie. an archaic word incorrectly used in speaking by certain dialect subsets -- not in written form).

You Asshat.

[Fantod]

Posted: 1/19/15 at 3:45pm

Well you didn't claim that it was an archaic word, you claimed that it wasn't a word. Which isn't true.

[Liza's Headband]

Posted: 1/19/15 at 4:12pm

In 2015, an archaic word - only recognized because it's chiefly dialect - isn't a legitimate word when communicating through written word unless framed in a historical or facetious context... according to the very same people who blessed you with the definition of "anyways." Neither of those contexts apply in this case. Move on, you pismire (hey! another archaic word no longer considered legitimate or relevant to modern english!).

I'm truly thankful that "pedant" is a word.

Ah-ha! Touche. Now, back to Bradley....

Well I just got back from seeing American Sniper, and Bradley was phenomenal in it. He really brought a realistic depth and texture to the role that worked on so many levels. He was also excellent in Elephant Man. I wish they'd give him an Oscar and a Tony!

"He really brought a realistic depth and texture to the role that worked on so many levels."

I agree. The subtly he had in the home scenes was emotional and powerful.

What subtly did he have?
