He is literally a lightweight actor though. Look at how tiny he is!

Wes Bentley always seems like he's thinkin' 'bout stabbin'.

Well my favorite movie is Millennium Actress - is that boring and expected? I don't know - and I'll cop to not seeing everything she's been in (including that Pride and Prejudice, I'll get on that).

Yet you're falling into your own trap by calling the films of 1952 mature, when they're really not.

Personally, my hierarchy would be scientist, artist, some random person off the street, prostitute, politician, in order of most to least welcome on my money.

If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son, I've got 99 homos and a bitch ain't one.

I didn't realize that musicals were considered mature, since the only real differences are more musicals and fewer sequels. The top grossing film of '52 was even a big expensive spectacle.

Yet, in another thing that turned out well for Montreal, they were the start of Anthony Cavillo's career.

The Als had already gone under, had they not? The Baltimore move was a revival of a team that no longer existed.
