“Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” Dame Judi Dench.
Pretty much makes the rest of the article bunk.

no but that is why your name is Ezekiel.
Aww. Poor babies. Besides, my give a damn is broken.

I would rather have bamboo shoots driven under my fingernails that see either of them skanks in a movie.............
It was on a free preview of TMC and it pretty much sucked wind.
Streep did play a good “Older, Cancer patient, junkie, crazy person” character.
Put LGBT actor representation in every movie. Within a few years every movie theater in America will close due to few customers. Then they’ll have to drop all actor salaries to $15 an hour. The majority of Americans refuse to watch butt-bangers in movies, yuck.
Could you imagine owing a billion bucks?
It would take me forever to build up that much debt.
What’s the big deal?
Hollywood is scheduled to crank out a full female cast ‘GhostBusters’ that’s guaranteed to crash and burn within its first weekend!!!
Women and gays want roles? Get better talent and better agents.
