As hollywood continues to beleive acting qualifies you as an expert on current affairs, I find myself not being able to patronize their movies. I once heard a quote that it used to be that fame brought celebrity, but now celebrity brings fame. here is my list of hollywood idiots who I cannot bring myself to watch in a movie or anymore. Lets add yours to the list:
Julia Roberts (top of my list, cannot stand the wench)
Richard Dreyfuss
Cammryn Mannhein
Rosie O Donut
Sharon Stone (not for political views, just a horrid actress)
Rob Reiner (anything he is involved in)
Tom Cruise (stero typical hollywood flake)
Nicole Kidman (see Above)
Bill Maher (enough said)
Help me expand my list
An obscure actress , upon recieving an award, stated that in days of yore, actors were considered rogues and vagabonds, and that we should still considered ourselves in that light. she was insightful beyond her years.
I can't stand the Orchestral version. The music simply was not 'designed' for conventional instruments.
My personal faves, in no particular order:
Tubular Bells I
Tubular Bells II
Hergest Ridge
Ommadawn (on my car stereo this morning!)
Five Miles Out
Platinum
Incantations
Islands
The Songs of Distant Earth
Lots of 'rarities' such as Don Alfonso, Rite of Man, Portsmouth, Wreckorder Wrondo, Mike's Reel, etc.
Ones I cannot stand:
Earth Moving
Tubular Bells III
The Millennium Bell
Heaven's Open
The Killing Fields
Voyager
Ones I am "indifferent" about:
Discovery
QE2
Crises (well, some cuts are OK)
