vin disel

mah
vin diesel sucks

BackFire349
yeah i agree with mah, ellen burstyns performance in requiem will go down in history as one of the best.

finti
In my mind shge was the worst part of the movie

BackFire349
her character? or her acting?

finti
her acting, never liked her as an actor maybe it clouds my judgement but even so ...
I think Mah thinks otherwise

BackFire349
well when she's in movies like yaya sisterhood and all that crap, its hard to take her seriously when she does a real movie like requiem that has an actual point. another thing i give her credit for, she took a roll that most women her age wouldnt touch with a 40 foot poll. and did a damn good job at portraying her sad out of touch with reality character. but other then requiem i havent liked her much either.

Thomas H
vin disel is cool, he aint the typical oscar actor, he is more of an entertainer!!!you need to understand that mah!

BackFire349
when he talks he always sounds like he has a big penis down his throat.

J-ROC
Backfire stop talking. You are a very very scary little man.

Fire
nice one backfire

well imo

sean connery
samuel L jackson
robbin williams
al pacino
mel gibson
kevin costner
liam neeson
ewan mcgregor
bruce willis
robert de niro

but a lot of others rule as well

BackFire349
little? 6'4' 250 lbs. thats not little.

BackFire349
and another great performance which i mentioned in another thread. louis fletcher in one flew over the cuckoos nest.

Thomas H
hey, swarzenegger also sound like he got a dic* in his mout!hehe

finti
how do you know?

Thomas H
just listen when he talks!

finti
ok how do you know thats what it sounds like

Bad Boy
I can't believe I'm the only one with John Leguizamo on their list!!!!

BackFire349
john leguizamo is annoying.

Bad Boy
Annoying?????????? WHAT??????

It's official- Backfire and Bad Boy will never agree on a single topic!

Dexx
nah..he's ok. Let me see my list. I dunno the exact order but i have :
Brad Pitt, S JAckson, Jeff Bridges, Turturo, al Pacino, Jean Reno, Eduard Norton, Ving Rames, Julianne Moore...ergh...10 already?

BackFire349
we havent agreed on much anywas.

Julie
is there a problem with not agreeing???

Dexx
i'd also like to add chow yun fat somewhere in there....not that it matters

finti
belive it dude

Bad Boy
You people are crazy!

zimbo
Then write your top ten and we'll say how crazy.

Bad Boy
Er...... I have!

Thomas H
oppps, zimbo....hahahahahahahaha!!

better read before you speak!!wink

Thomas H
remember there are girls who can do both...hihi, but only the most talented once!!hehe! Happy Dance

zimbo
I'm not afraid!
I have rights to speak what I want. And he can't do anything to me on the forum. stick out tongue

ToMacco
Top ten, huh? That's hard, because there are so few good actors, and so many terrible ones. Here is my list of good actors, I don't think I'll be able to name ten, but here they are.

MARLON BRANDO Anyone who has seen his movies cannot deny his talant.

DENZEL WASHINGTON The finest African American actor in hollywood. Many argue Samuel L. Jackson is the best, but I think Jackson only can play the badass. Washington has shown his range in everything from Glory to Crimson Tide. Washington will be around for a long time.

BRAD PITT People call him a pussy for crying in a lot of his roles. I happen to think he's one of hollywoods finest. I think he draws an audience because he's supposed to be the hot dude, but I see him as a fine talant. I think Seven and Seven Years in Tibet are his best movies. But even the movies that havn't been good, HE was good in: Fight Club, Meet Joe Black, The Mexican (and others). Pitt will win an Oscar someday.

JOHNNY DEPP He's good. Damn good. Need I say more?

VAL KILMER I was pretty surprised to see that no one had him on their list. Kilmer hasn't done so many roles, as much as he's done so many roles so well. Kilmer's performace in Tombstone has got to be one of the greatest ever captured on film. Top Gun, The Saint, At First Sight: all perfect performaces for the character he played. He hasn't made a movie for a while. I expect him to make a big comeback.

and finally (we all knew it was coming to this):

TOM HANKS Unquestionably the best actor working today. His early work in the 1980's found him as a quarky character always playing the same kind of role. I think his breakthough role came in A Leauge of Their Own, in which he played an alcoholic ex-pro ball player. I still think it's one of the finest characters ever written and played for the screen (by Hanks and any other actor). Of course, Hanks won back to back Oscars for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, which doesn't mean a damn thing, unless you've seen the movies; if you have, you'll understand why he won.
Since A Leauge of Their Own, Hanks has put together a film collection of GREAT movies. He hasn't been in a bad movie, and he certainly hasn't given a bad performace. Apollo 13, both Toy Story films, Saving Private Ryan, You've Got Mail, The Green Mile, Road to Perdition.
Of course, OF COURSE, his best performace was in Cast Away. I think this was the best acting job by anyone, in any movie, in hollywood history. Hanks ability to carry a two hour film almost by himself and keep the interest in the viewers, in incredible.
Tom Hanks has a gifted abiltiy to transform into the character he is playing. I never see Hanks in a role, I see the character he is playing. I think he will go down as the greatest actor of all time.

BackFire349
no one will top jack nicholsons performance in cuckoos nest.

finti
that is just a matter of opinion

BackFire349
obviously. everything we talk about is opinion based.

Thomas H
Orlando Bloom:
His work in LOTR, is simply spectaclular! He is great!
He does a great jon as pfc Blackburn in Black Hawk Down, and I cant wait to see him in Pirates Of the Carribien next summer!

zimbo
E Depp good in ''Blow'' if some one saw this movie.

ToMacco
He was good in Blow, wasn't he?

BackFire349
yes he was, that was the only performance that caught my attention though.

ToMacco
I forgot about Jim Carrey.

BackFire349
i prefer him in comedic rolls.

finti
unless I tell you otherwise evil face

BackFire349
yes mistress.

finti
so that is how you reply when your girlfriend ask you something

BackFire349
of course, then i put on the 80's reggaie porn music and we're in heaven.

King Jedi
What did Orlando Bloom do in FOTR that was spectacular? He fired a few arrows.

Thomas H
he is a great actor, thats why P. Jackson focuses a lot on him in all the films...and you cant say that he aint talented!!!!!

King Jedi
In FOTR? That's the only thing I've seen him in and all he did was stand there with his long blonde pig tales and fire some arrows.

BackFire349
yeah, he just stood there. how can you tell he's a good actor, he had like 4 lines.

King Jedi
Exactly.

mah
yeah, if we're to pick great acting from FOTR it's by Sean Bean (boromir)

Thomas H
well, wait to LOTR TT then...he has a lot of lines. And he is a GREAT actor, very talented, remember he is only 22 or someting, and has already starred in two of the most pop movies in 2001! and will in 2002, 2003 and 04 so he has his future in box!

2002: Two Towers
2003: Return of the King and Pirates of the Carribien
2004: Troy

BackFire349
and 90 percent of his movies are lord of the rings. mark my words, everything he does in the future will be linked with star wars in the same manner of mark hammil.

BackFire349
errr, linked with lord of the rings i mean.

Ushgarak
I think you have to be careful of confusing cool character with good actor. Legolas went down VERY well in FOTR but that is a ong way from making Mr. Bloom a great actor.

mah
its still *possible* that he's a great actor though

Ushgarak
Indeed.

finti
Yes well we just have to see, cant really tell from FOTR.
With Vin Diesel on the other hand, man.........

Thomas H
he did not have a big role in BHD, but he sure as hell impressed me! and Mark hamil has only starred in 3 great movies, and that is offcource SW..anyway, Bloom has already stared in LOTR and BHD, and will star in LOTR 2 and priates of the carribien wich both are going to be monster hits!

King Jedi
Being a monster hit doesn't mean it's a great movie or that he's a great actor.
If you go with your rules then Keanu Reeves is an acting genius.

Thomas H
forget it, I like him, that the most important for me, so I could not care less what you think!

BackFire349
yes he has starred in lord of the rings and black hawk down, only 1 great movie.

Julie
Orlando Bloom was in back Hawk Down????

finti
no but he played a part in BLack Hawk down big grin

Bad Boy
HaHa!

Thomas H
he played pfc Todd Blackburn, the 18 year old boy who fell down the chopper..and backfire...I see two great movies...big grin

Bad Boy
Well I see one. I wasnt very found of LOTR!!

OH SHIT, HERE COMES THE KMC ABUSE!!!!!!

Thomas H
hehe, il guess you mean BHD then ....waahoooooooo....smile but prepare your self for some bashing from: Finti, Mah and Backfire,,,,

Bad Boy
*holds up shield*

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!

finti
nah Black hawk Down was an ok movie far from great but ok.
If he doesnt like LOTR so be it.

mah
I'm not the type to bash...but if you dislike the book on the other hand, then!

finti
Well I never finished the Hobbit, way too boring

Thomas H
I will join you in the line my faithfull companion!

mah
that's not anything like LOTR.

and btw, my favourite actor is natalie portman, look at "Beautiful Girls", great film!

Thomas H
now im speaking to Bad Boy!

BackFire349
i never read any of the lord of the rings books, i liked the movies, thought black hawk down was the most boring 'war' movie i had ever seen.

finti

finti

Dexx
