you all have a bad case of the reminiscents. Move on with the times, don't get stuck behind.
and i'm not just listing awards, hopkins played one good part in one good movie and you're all acting as if he's the greatest actor ever. If he had been in as many hollywood movies or made as much money as de niro, you would be bashing him. The only reason you like him is because he doesn't have that A-list commercial celebrity type status and you think liking him and his work makes you cool.
I'm so non-conformist i won't conform with the non-conformists - jesus south park ****in owns.
P.S good to see someone mention michael caine, he's awesome.

Stuck behind? Damn I am certainly one person who knows their movies and saying Godsend sucks is definitely NOT because I'm stuck in a timewarp. It's this very reason that I CAN judge Godsend against other films is because I watch so many. Even taking away personal opinion away and looking at the film objectively it still sucks. The direction is pedestrian, there is no tension, it's cliched and dull beyond belief.
Saying Hopkins is a great actor was in response to you saying that he has only done one decent performance and we were mentioning other performances and If you think acting is all about money then you have no bloody clue about films whatsoever, actually judging by your posts you don't anyway. Mainstream Hollywood is not the only place that makes movies and I think you should educate yourself a little more and back up your arguments with sound film knowledge and then I may take you a little more seriously.
