I’ve always liked this guy. If any of you have never seen “Chaplin”, I recommend it.

He was wonderful in that film. But I’m a Chaplin fan and I’m happy Downey overcame his demons.

Chaplin would have had a field day with the Rahm, Axelrod, Michelle and Obama characters. Ah, those were the film makers.

He was so-o-o good in Chaplin. I put off watching it because I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Chaplin groupie. I know Chaplin was a schmuck and wanker in a lot of respects, and had terrible morals, but he was also fantastically, fabulously talented in a diverse range of things and disciplined enough to get the maximum out of that talent. He was nova-brilliant. Hey, I love brilliant men. So sue me.

I just couldn't stand the thought of somebody bastardizing Chaplin trying to play him. But I finally watched it ... it was made, I think, before Downey's stint in the ol' Crowbar Hotel. Shoot-howdy, Downey is a fine actor.

It is really a good movie. I think I remember a part in the movie where he’s dining with Nazis....and a woman says something about the disabled being a ‘drain on the system’. That fits libs to a capital “T”.
