My thought exactly. How come Eddie Murphy gets to cross over and he doesn’t?

I don’t care what color Downey is made up in, he is still one of the best actors that has come around in quite a long time.

Should have used Ted Danson for the role. Whoopi says it is OK.

This has to be among the most ridiculous controversies ever invented. What’s next? Victim groups being offended when pasty white chicks like myself smoke some crack? I’m going to go steal a car to get my mind off of this.

The whole scene looks fake too. Looks like they filmed it along the highway, just down the street from the Kukui Grove mall in Kauai. After they were done for the day heck they could just dart across traffic and head for the Starbucks.LOL, that's a good one!

Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying That sounds kind of funny. If they had any good writers it could be a good one.
To: peggybac
That is the truth. And it is what makes his drug addiction problems so sad. He really is one of the best actors around.
