Agreed - and I am not even a huge Tom Cruise fan: I like Cruise’s movies (scripts, casts, budgets) more than I like him. But yes, he is more of a real Star than Leo the Unlion.

I first noticed Amy Adams in a minor role in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and thought she showed promise.

They’re ALL worthless LIBTARDS to me.

“Whatsa matter with the cause I’m spoutin’?”
Don’t you know you’re a hypocrite?
“Hey, I need a private plane for travelin’!”
Leo, man, you’re so full of s***

Don’t you know that it’s a signal of virtue?
The carbon you emit isn’t really gonna hurt you
Temps jump, temps fall from the summer to the fall
You’re still a libtard to me

Have you seen Trouble With The Curve?
Aging baseball scout played by CLINT Eastwood, Amy Adams plays his college educated daughter. Justin Timberlake is in it but doesn’t ruin the movie.
Good flick.

LOL! My favorite comment of the night, so far! I didn’t grieve in the movie as Jack drifted away, mainly because I never cared for Leo. Still don’t like him.

Never heard of Amy Adams. I thought she might be the girl in “Chasing Amy” with Jay and Silent Bob - looks different though

And to a LOT of other normal people with rudimentary reasoning skills. Which eliminates LibTards of course.

"The highest paid, most in demand actor in Hollywood is Amy Adams."

I've enjoyed watching Amy Adams in several movies. She played the naive nursing assistant in "Catch Me If You Can" with DiCaprio. She played a naive younger nun in "Doubt" With Meryl Streep as her superior. And she teamed with Streep again in "Julie & Julia", with Streep playing Julia Child.

I certainly don't agree with the politics of most Hollywood creatures, but I think Streep is a fine actress and Amy Adams carried her weight in those films.

As a gesture of support to US troops, Amy Adams gave her first-class seat to an American soldier on
a Detroit to LA flight in 2014. She gladly took a seat in standard coach. Her father was in the military.

Why would anyone in their right mind consider this whiney little pissant anything more than a celebrity is beyond me. I knew Real Stars, maybe some day I’ll write a book.
