Too damn fake looking.

She was so much hotter in About Last Night.

And her full nude pictorials for men’s magazines before becoming an actress.

He was nominated for two Razzies for that film.

So was the Shining

The film was an atrocity and he got caught in the crossfire trust me he's good in it

reply

[–] jk90us (7138) 2 months ago

I know. I saw it. He was fun.

The Shining sucked BTW.

Kubrick was nominated for a Razzie.

Not the movie.

Though it should have been.

The Shining is brilliant when you accept it is a comedy.

reply

[–] jk90us (7138) 2 months ago

We talking about the same movie?

No one considers it a comedy.

[–] MCguy (1133) 2 months ago

you said: "The Shining sucked BTW."

I am telling you if you look at as a comedy it doesn't.

reply

[–] jk90us (7138) 2 months ago

It’s hilarious that people consider it a masterpiece.

That’s the closest I’ll get to calling it a comedy.

[–] MCguy (1133) 2 months ago

I laugh out loud literally (the literal literally) whenever I watch a scene.

And many believe he lost the Best Supporting Actor Oscar because of it by distancing himself from the film.

That also may have had something to do with not getting great roles after.

He did win a Golden Globe, but it’s meaningless in the US.

Actors only attend because they get to get drunk.
