    Maybe I've been reading too much Carrie Prejean, but this makes my head spin. Too much news faking other news pretending to be other news.

    On the flip side, I'm suing Fairfield University's student paper for using my trademarked term "raw dog" (though, admittedly, I coined it while describing a Korean sushi bar, not unprotected sex). #journalismism

    @Go Like Hell Machine: Now that you mention it, where's Denzel Washington or Will Smith? (They should've been top 50)

    The wording on the other site doesn't source their list, so we might have to assume that it's whomever popped into the author's mind.

    @Go Like Hell Machine: Now see, Freeman is a great actor, but he has made some cash-based choices.

    And because you've given me a chance to clarify my original response; I didn't mean to imply that Will Smith is in the pantheon of great actors, but most people find him watchable and the critics like him.

    @Magister: Yeah, but both Meryl and Denzel make A LOT of movies, and not all of them good, so even though they have a lot of plusses, they're balanced out by quite a few minuses. The top ten (with the weird exception of Hanks) star in fewer movies, but they tend to be good ones, so they might have fewer plusses, but almost no minuses, giving them higher scores. #robertebert

    @AlmostDream:
    I'm a little hard-pressed to think of a badly-reviewed Meryl Streep film and your suggestion might explain the "Nerds of the Rings", but Ethan Hawke?

    Not to mention that there was a time, Martin Sheen would be in any movie with a checkbook. He has slowed down some since the the West Wing residuals have been rolling in, but he's still in a lot of films and though he's a very good actor, you can't say that all of his movies have been good.

    He has the face of someone who I should want to make out with, even though I'm not partial to blond guys. Regular features, a square jaw, appealing 5 PM shadow, nice hair.

    And yet, I want to punch him instead. Repeatedly, until he squeaks. Perhaps because I can tell just by looking closely that he's not all that clean downtown, or perhaps because I've seen that smirk before, and usually on a Republican cutting funding for HIV treatment.

    Apparently, well-tuned gaydar also comes with an asshole detector. #tuckermax

    In reply to Tucker Max Has an Explanation
    I market movies for a living. Therefore I can officially diagnose the problem with the film as being three-fold.

    -The film went too wide, too fast. A grassroots campaign doesn't work out to a 140 screen release. It needed to slowly ramp up.

    -He played only to his fanbase, nobody that hasn't read the book has heard of him, and therefore the movie.

    -Tucker Max is a fucknugget, and the only way non-fucknuggets will see his movie is if it features him getting repeatedly sodomized by a subway turnstile. #tuckermax
