17 replys to my topic, and everyone missed the POINT. That Being that Forest Whitaker...is giving IMO the Best performance of his great career. Who G-A-Shitt about Ms. Winfrey ?? I NEVER even mentioned her name. This Flic has a triple-A Great cast from Robin Williams on down.

I want to buy 'southwind ALL the tickets he wants, so he can sit there and for two hours +, WATCH very closely,......his Southern Brethren...doing the only thing they ever did....that couldn't be matched by any other group Ever, in the HISTORY of the good ol' USA !!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone NOTICE he hasn't ventured anywhere near this thread ?

Jane Fonda is enough of a reason not to bother.

Maybe I'll buy an extra pack or two of Oreos with the money I save from not seeing this movie...
 
Who G-A-Shitt about Ms. Winfrey ??

Ms Winfrey does. And she will be greatly disappointed if SHE isn't nominated for some academy award, which given our starf***er nature, she will, regardless of how small a part she plays. Her presence detracts from an otherwise great cast. But the producers were shrewd....her presence will attract those who can't decide on book to read without her guidance.
 
Ex coworker wife was a FA for UAir......she related a couple times O flew there. Woman is a racist bigot.

I actually tend to agree with you here - She has often reminded us that we don't know what it's like to grow up asa black woman in America. She left out the part that I also don't know what it's like to earn $40 million a year. Interesting thing though....in the FYI section of today's KC Star, they have a "graph" of the highs and lows of teh week that was. at then end, with the graph trending down was this
If you are wondering why Oprah Winfrey was in the news claiming a shop clerk in Switzerland treated her badly, well, she stars The Butler", which opened Friday.

Who is the HNIC in this movie?
 
Who is the HNIC in this movie?

Jesus Christ dell,.....W T F am I gonna' do with you ? You are sooooooooooooo BAD !!!!!!!

BUt, as the title of this/my thread suggests,.....It's Forest Whitaker, and his masterful performance. We all sometimes fail to remember how long, and how Many very good pictures F W has been in. He already won an Oscar, and in most cases, is very likeable in his movies. Rarely do I see him playing 'victim roles' ! ! ! I put him in the same group of black actors who are likeable, like say Denzel, or Morgan Freeman.
Face it, the dude has got his acting shitt together ! Whether on this board, or not,......anyone painting FW with the OW brush, is doing Mr. Whitaker and this Very good movie, a theatrical Injustice .
I mean,.....DIRTY... D I C K ..Cheney could be in this film, and " I / ME " would Still go and see it !

Great classy comment EOLESEN about the cookies....'N O T'........(J F aside)

NO Wonder your a F'n Republican !
 
So now I can't like a particular brand of cookie without it being construed as racist?...

Too bad. I'm eating some as I type. And I'll probably have a couple more before I finish this posting...

Believe it or not, not everything revolves around race or has to evoke images of people in white hoodies, Archie.

Fact is my cookies are about as racist as your screen name.
 
Who called you a racist? Bears called you a Republican. It is not all about race.
 
I'd think you should know a dog whistle when you hear one.
