    Rupert had everything lifted but the fuzz on his drug-addled mind. And this Matt Goldberg guy keeps propping him up and cheering his point, even ahooting down the obvious onslaught of negative feedback in his comments section. He's not just saying this is true; he wants this to be true.

    After that farce upstate earlier today, I'm not in the mood for penny-ante crap like this.

    for god's sake, don't come out like rupert. you'll be forced into a life of forgetful movies, hobnobbing with the likes of madonna and donatella versace and lamenting how your aging looks can't snare free coke and puerto rican hustlers like they used to. quel dommage, indeed.

    Speaking of being gay having an affect on your career, ABC not only cancelled Adam Lambert on Jimmy Kimmel, they cancelled him on New Year's Rockin' Eve.

    It's bullsh*t, but I hope Lambert and Everett can remember there are other important things in life than minor details like earning a living - like love and family and marriage and... oh. Nevermind.

    So just where are gays allowed that "pursuit of happiness" thing? I forget.

    @bodegacat: Sadly, not in show-business (let's keep it to the industry, and not touch the fact that some would like there to be nowhere that a gay can be happy). I tend to agree that the industry is 'a game' and you have to play it right, that means people like us don't get to know who is gay and who isn't. Some of these people are out to their loved ones, but, PR-wise, it's not a good idea for them to play it that way. People are fucking dumb and afraid and uneducated about sexuality in general--so you get young actors, especially, who just grin and blush coyly about who they're dating. They might actually be happy otherwise, it's just the truth isn't something that's good for business, at least not when it's out in the open. A lot of eyes are on them, and some of those eyes belong to assholes.

    @bodegacat: What's sad is that, unlike heterosexuals, homosexuals often have to choose one or the other ("happiness" or "career success"). That said, show business will quickly dispose anything risky at the slightest hint that its fanfare is on the wane.

    @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.

    @Grandpapular: Okay - You've got me there, but by most measures, Meryl Streep is considered the greatest living actress and Denzel Washington isn't very far behind. #robertebert

    @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.

    @Magister: She-Devil, starring Roseanne. It might have single-handedly kicked her off the list. But this list really punishes the prolific. Too many mediocre movies can pull down the score. #robertebert

    Just waited to cross Broadway/5th Ave. at 23rd St. with Academy Award Winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was riding a bike (without a helmet!). He rode into the park and waited in line for the Shake Shack with two younger women, chatted and looked friendly. Taller than I imagined, looking scruffy but good.
