Had he started his career in the 70s, he might have been a leading man and get the recognition he deserved. It's terribly ironic that modern Hollywood, while ditching almost everything that made the old great, has inherited one of its most regretable witnesses (Why do you think George Clooney successfully managed the transition from TV to the silver screen whereas James Gandolfini remained a supporting actor even after winning three emmys?)

Are you kidding? I remember some liberals back in '04 thinking that Bush wouldn't let the election happen and instead set a coup and start a military dictatorship (I'm not joking - I dealt online with one of those nutjobs) And what about portraying Bush as Hitler's second coming, even adding a little mustache on his photos? Was it rational (no matter where you stand on Bush's record, Hitler he definetely wasn't)? Bush derangement syndrome was, and remains, a sad reality. Regarding Obama I feel no sympathy for him. For two years he had all the power needed to bring the "change" he promised and NOTHING CAME OUT. And the only excuse he can find is to blame the Reps. Honestly it's a bit cheap. To put it very, very mildly.

Memo to Scarlett: Obama has been in the White House for four years. If it wasn't enough for him to bring the "change" why should we believe four more years will make it? Maybe a life term would do? (I'm sure many obamanacs would happily dispense with the 22nd) Wed, 8 Feb 2012 20:08:35 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/hollywoodland/2012/02/08/your-obama-apologist-of-the-day-scarlett-johansson/#IDComment287312932 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/kmooney/2012/02/07/on-reagans-birthday-lets-remember-the-gippers-film-career-part-2/#IDComment286924559 Still nothing about Tennessee's Partner?

I'm of the persuasion that slower is sometimes better, especially in the case of a horror film. Just compare the deliberate original "Haunting" with its frenzier, ridiculous remake. So I'll have to see for myself. Glad to see the Hammer back in the business, though. Let's hope they're back for good.

The Elizabeth that should have won the Oscar that year was Cate Blanchett's.

So in his opinion a good film is a film that makes bucks, lots of bucks. And films that liberals love can't be but bad, terribly bad. Also he doesn't like B&W silent films. Luckily other reviewers here are more enlightened for otherwise he would give conservative movie fans a really, really bad name.

Oscars are SUPPOSED to be about honoring the best in filmmaking, not the most popular. If Hugo and The Artist are among the finest films of 2011 then they deserve to be nominated for Best Picture, no matter their box office. Oscars have sided with audiences in the past and the results have rarely been very inspiring. Also, BigHollywood people, especially Mr. Nolte, should celebrate the success of a film (The Artist) that celebrates old Hollywood and is free of any agenda or "edginess".

The author of the article in particular has the nerve to ask us to believe the film is not a hatchet job despite everyone involved being a liberal - as the final paragraph makes plain. Honestly would someone expect a Obama biopic to be fair with all the crew being members of the JBS? Incredible.

Which means they'd rather take the side of one of the bloodiest dictatorships ever (Argentina in 1983) rather than Thatcher's? Wow. Talk about moral high ground.

You would think that electing (and in Hollywood's case, supporting) a metis president would've ignited some change there. Seems that no. But remember: conservatives ARE the racist ones!
