NOMINATED for an Oscar. But I'd still argue he's a good actor. The academy, critics, most of the posters on this board…

Johnny Mathis! I'll get my gun

That's pretty great. Do they look at you accusingly the way my family looks at me?

Yes, they've given him the recognition from the Academy and acclaim from his peers for his ability to work with Wilford Brimley.

Your family doesn't drink? Bunch of poofs.

"It's not so much the apocalypse as the humidity…"

I know a certain chubby blue line who should be on the Turkey Day menu…

But they were surprised to find that the guy, unbelievably, could ACT.

Was that on around the time this odd sitcom about a very dysfunctional family that owned a banana stand was on? No one watched that show but me and one other person, apparently. Although they later did move it to Netflix, but it was just never the same.

And more importantly, did he offer investment opportunities in his cross-dimensional slave facilities?

An all time great line that I use a LOT.

"I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Music festivals just don't work"

Well, more of a 'historical' look at it, I guess. No one WANTS a Nixon, but as I was not alive for that era I'm curious as to what it was like.

You know, I never realized that but you're right: a lot of the earlier characters were very taciturn and rather non-verbose. Chuck would have been a natural.

I love Bronson as well (Ol' Shovel Face, as my Dad lovingly calls him). Maybe we should work on 'Bronson, Missouri'?

Great, all I have in my head is Helen Reddy singing "I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR…"

Also, great call on the user name and avatar. I love that book and film.

Much the same way cheap beer, shots and White Castle work out the next morning…

B+ by A.A. Dowd puts it as the equivalent of Citizen Kane.

If the voting numbers are any measure, that ain't no minority
