Dame Helen Mirren: ‘2016 Has Been a Big Pile of [bleep]’ (asked for “Inspirational Christmas message
Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | 23 Dec 2016 AST | by JEROME HUDSON

British actress Helen Mirren says 2016 has been a steaming mess of a year. In a recent appearance on the U.K. late-night talk show The Graham Norton Show, Mirren was asked by the host to look into the camera and deliver an “inspirational Christmas message.”

Mirren happily obliged: “Hello. At this time of celebration and togetherness, we have the chance to reflect on the year gone by. And I think we can all agree that 2016 has been a big pile of sh*t,” she said.

“So my advice to you is drink responsibly, and be merry. Have a very Happy Christmas,” Mirren continued. “But above all, go see Collateral Beauty, out on Boxing Day.”

Mirren, currently starring in the aforementioned star-studded drama Collateral Beauty, was likely disappointed by the outcome of this year’s U.S. presidential election. The Oscar-winner spent much of 2016 trashing Trump and championing Hillary Clinton.

In February, Mirren said a Trump presidency would be the “end of America as a great country.”

“This whole idea of ‘making America great,’ it seems to me that it would actually sort of be the end of America as a great country,” The Queen star told an England’s Channel 4 News.

In October, Mirren said of voting for Clinton that “It’s time for the best role model in the White House.”

Collateral Beauty opened earlier this month and stars Will Smith, Edward Norton, Kate Winslet, Michael Peña, and Naomie Harris.

Too bad. I thought she was talented. But she's just an idiot with a good press agent.

So long, Helen.

Well, you know I have to sort of agree with her, ’2016 Has Been a Big Pile of Sh*t’ and so has the previous 7 years. However, January 20th 2017 will soon be here…..

Mirren...was likely disappointed by the outcome of this year’s U.S. presidential election.

And by Brexit as well. Very bad year for Mohammedans and their air-headed bedfellows.

This is true for globalists and liberals everywhere. I think that the worse things are for these POSs (especially the rich and famous hypocrites) the better for real people.

It is an extension of — WINNING, BABY!

To the left bad is good and good is bad. Do the translation and the story is great.

There Is Nothin Like A Dame lyrics Click to play this song! "South Pacific" soundtrack We got sunlight on the sand, We got moonlight on the sea, We got mangos and bananas You can pick right off a tree, We got volleyball and ping-pong And a lot of dandy games! What ain't we got? We ain't got dames! We get packages from home, We get movies, we get shows, We get speeches from our skipper And advice from Tokyo Rose, We get letters doused with perfume We get dizzy from the smell! What don't we get? We know damn well! We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for What we need is what there ain't no substitute for... There is nothin' like a dame, Nothin' in the world, There is nothin' you can name That is anything like a dame! We feel restless, we feel blue, We feel lonely, and in brief, We feel ev'ry kind of feelin', But the feeling of relief We feel hungry as the wolf felt When he met Red Hiding-hood What don't we feel? We don't feel good! Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother, There is one particular thing that is nothin' whatsoever In any way, shape or form like any other. There is nothin' like a dame, Nothin' in the world, There is nothin' you can name That is anything like a dame! Nothin' else is built the same, Nothin' in the world As the soft and wavy frame Like the silhouette of a dame! There is absolutely nothin' like the frame of a dame. So suppose a dame ain't right Or completely free from flaws, Or as faithful as a bird dog, Or as kind as Santa Claus, It's a waste of time to worry Over things that they have not, Be thankful for the things they got! There is nothin' you can name That is anythin' like a dame! There are no books like a dame, And nothin' looks like a dame. There are no drinks like a dame, And nothin' thinks like a dame, Nothin' acts like a dame, Or attracts like a dame. There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here That can't be cured by putting him near A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame!

Of course she did. Did you happen to read some of the stuff going on between takes on Caligula?

You’d think with a name like Dame the broad would at least be classy!

Freepers trashed the movie in another thread. The title alone sounds stupid.
