I didn't think Dead Poets was as great as most but that is a great final scene.

Are you telling me that a Hollywood actor was in a bad movie? Because I don't think I can handle that revelation right now.

Oh I see, sorry. That's cool. Talk about his more mediocre movies first, and then once enough time has passed, step it up a notch and discuss his real gems that you mentioned above. Carry on!

No way that kind of thing can be discussed prior to Comic Relief.

Though speaking of Comic Relief I am curious who may get the nod for hosting the Oscars this year.

I was actually saying to someone the other day about how RV was such an awful movie, but it wasnt so bad because Robin Williams was in it being Robin Williams.

There is really no good reason for this thread to be stickied. Death threads tend to stay at the top of their own for the appropriate amount of time.
