You know how when normally we have writers on magazine guys we can do a piece to it's pretty compelling resting noteworthy we discuss it. All right I guess that's the case now because the receive some -- latest piece in the magazine. I could give you 10000 guesses who it's on and you wouldn't guess it. That would -- obviously man he or incidentally demand -- college yes you are going to discuss that he has TE criticized me for mania where -- unfair. -- that's too much credit -- whose column in the -- the latest injury mean. I do not know. History. I kid you know I was the most over -- almost cruel streak greatest actors who ordered it and it was what I came up with a formula to determine the best actors. And actresses. Because it's pretty subjective I still think that is right. Just yet he wrote it is no debate that she's the best thing. Do by nominations. Oscar nominations in like multiply them and -- for Oscar winners and she's far and away the best actress. You missed ranging far afield as the yeah she liked reading about actors and actresses and Merrill Streep. And well. Among -- Into a Julia Roberts. Where. Netflix best -- Meryl Streep soul like. Should I -- articles like if she comes on screen isn't as blow -- away. And where's the -- and -- and he goes through all the best actors and -- and Mickelson. Figure out -- better unity -- Oscar nominations. Many years if someone else's subjective reprisal of elitists at Hollywood phonies who gave you know -- and over Mickey rule -- And they give it to you know John Wayne. That's one over John boy stuff.

I don't know whose lives were -- I don't know it was a great actor and again don't we know that I think Jim Carrey and Daniels deserved nominations for them dumb and -- right they don't do that enough they gave. Uh oh what's -- name mark writer Marisa Tomei again for the nominees for those in right which was great I don't do that nearly enough let's face it these guys. I mean if they make you laugh for two hours the doing something right shouldn't.

Sure that part it'd be and discusses the bill. There there their range their ability to do different things with the Merrill street Charles street did you dazzle your favorite -- closed the -- and the Obama million dollar a minute yeah. The musical she did that we did the trick is -- I mean -- characters purses up -- and that there are always the same guy not.

And he'll help the graduate -- the young innocent kid me just stop all over the them the map. That's what makes you good I.

Getting -- Jones and the -- the same is capable woman -- and don't feel like blind guy unacceptable warm spots are within -- bottle and and that's okay that's the -- would mean to imply is my point -- says so anyone -- play a woman at the moment for. -- play one -- On line but that's about it.

Someone has to explain to me why you would go to move this in the commercial that would -- commercials during. This tournament.

I think it's. A snake looks like. It's bigger than a -- it's a big Anaconda. And it's. Meant to Tom at movie is this in the commercial the pickle. That's -- on what they do you know now we -- antivirus do you like that before -- wake muscled the tape and that's scary enough. Once snake and has mold your your -- will go to. I -- see that. Ball everybody normal cup that's different that's. That's that's family move we saw it. Happens is they -- I can imagine that go six real hostile for. Mean it's for the thirteenth and then thirteen of them and believe it just gave the movie listings yet humble crap. And Merrill Streep as -- and she's in love him. Leave knowing is number one this Nicholas -- and I love you man. The -- you last house in the left. Remake you'll move by five point nine million. Last post laughed well I guess that's that could cause it's six right but the honking. Rise in New Hampshire right next.

I -- money hi good morning. I wanted to make a comment that -- versatility as an actor great execution a role in. He played I played I I deeply silly little. I think it -- act and is the best the alt I. I'm not now.

Who grade coach is he's really the leading man that was the completely demand -- lead the league this morning we can carry it -- Arlen broad range. But at a rate range and -- Liked. Edward Norton. He he is good Edward Norton is under rated to when -- He's better than John nodded and -- institutionalized enough he's probably has. -- but his performances project his performance in American history decks will keep you'll -- at that who. I mean it's just one of those performances. I don't say that about many Regis that was unbelievable performance -- That just remember in the airlines and.

You know excited that Robert Downey junior is phenomenal. Yeah and you should see image -- obviously is -- Outs should want to -- the academy and -- and I was gonna -- and my wife wouldn't let me. -- scary but the narrow in cape fear and that is that as they -- and -- a few whacks the district of Oklahoma and he ever gets.

On the other column did he do different brand -- all man. You can -- you up again.

We'll hello is one of the great scare report to -- And and I think the chino scarface is pretty scary pretty amazing performance -- is planning. Cubans at that -- and -- but he Rachel does turn himself in his late career though he has not been selectively like righteous kill. Yeah that an end and -- in the -- McConnell had a big boy Brandon weaknesses. And dirty. The devil's advocate. That was that was kind of regional like -- I'm not regionals kind of interest interest liked it wasn't great. The canoe canoe -- and his moron can -- use -- and -- galleries. -- shocked at what branch on next with the NC.

It John. About Billy -- it now I agree with it. But not my -- most versatile actor generation. And could tell ever bring it up no mop up Burmese greatly basket.

not so much drug dogs simple and Paula thought yes. -- like like Johnny Depp he's more personal way he does Alex muted when we want to know his not a policy that the pirates -- the could just beyond that is his he is quirky. --

I am a little more -- Yeah that's the only one could give his nightmares that we need we didn't need and -- we -- the old ones still stood the test of time. -- tomorrow and there's an actor who gene wilder.

Tomorrow it might. Eric Bana well do they get to your doctor -- to mention about Matt Damon yet.

This is -- range. I've got that from Matt Damon in in the departed beacons. Leo declining and the Antarctic -- so good to steals the movie right man holders with Jack and we'll.

Not an Arctic -- are good.

I mean there are all good. But Ed Norton I think and in that DiCaprio better than Damon would you agree that -- a lot of different stuff. What's that got these little looser parliament in yesterday's values you can tell you how do it to you yeah yeah blood diamond. But -- Titanic. Is that some weird accent one diamond via.

Opener Justin Portland me in -- the same guy -- I think matter.

And you guys just completely under -- they're probably the best actor of my generation Leo. Acted I mean you know got mention a couple of -- part of the -- like what eating Gilbert grape where it plays or -- And then all elect aviator where it is the real eccentric about what the hands. Right in the -- just below it you -- agree on everything but I personally I -- a little bit annoying but on on the screen it may.

So it's annoying but in department when he was going over the edge on the hill right and -- and a little at the beginning with super expect us to believe that and Leo the island can beat those two guys up you know and in the restaurants and with a coat rack. And then as the movie went on he really he really won me over jabs at Winchester a --

good morning. I think -- exile of epic and -- you what from what somebody -- going into real serious that but he was pretty bad.

and I'll -- most prominent actor mark yeah point. I don't know. Simmons mention these. But that that the flawed and basing it on. Oscar nomination right exactly -- he cares about that the foreign academies of votes for the got from no country from old men won last year that's all you need to know I thought it. Flip clinics in its details male this room rain and snow. Is too awful. Amendment induced globally you vote for him based on the Fed's been captured militant --

Side Denzel Washington targeted say -- now.

that was great but he's sort of the same guy isn't the same guy. And on the coach and the the mob boss -- in American American -- against American -- history kind of picked up -- straight -- today. Training and also acts similar guy similar it was up that your attitude.

Ten and Arlington -- and actually DNC.

Daniel Day-Lewis the bottom. Fantastic. Range. From last Somalia against new. My left foot which are Academy Award to the latest single. There will be blood which I thought was just spectacular wolf.

Had they say he unlike any other modern actor working today so merciless himself in real role to.

What really does a lot of the only don't want about everybody at ten years ago.

Yeah exactly why -- a lot. Yes yes -- on people who and you don't opt to acute betweens makes it goes away a method that ultimately on the red and black and ideas. Yeah it was like that's -- were -- him. It's always like that segment your atmosphere. Of the.

The story that fairly rose told us tone they were filming. Something we'll Mario and Miami in the gut and and what's his name the brother from the baseball -- Warren -- my baseball right he stayed in character the whole time you and downhill in a month and they said the would be like having lunch -- you know and they come -- in on the street in that character actor he think I would headphones on in Africa. Isn't that -- of whenever filming and you never get out of that character via deal.

Strange. Dylan's but he did -- about -- underrated. Underrated yet especially when that rule is as good as brother. That's the testimony to slide jobs in the crash. He bill. -- a speech which too was that that was mad -- and a it was a great --

I'll pick a little while Clinton was impractical. That some of that company's goals from big country guy now he's in this. The -- to you know I mean you'd want to.

Alchemy you know he is great this movie I was on new us. In and he is the -- is -- since Archie Bunker I mean and he's not trying to be funny things to this. Crusty old -- and all racial slurs and obviously. You know we going to see the -- in an adult thing and see comin' right. But he's if first. Assemble guy -- he and to make you laugh and ends up winning you over. Imus edition -- but it's not -- the same guy all the time though the mean that -- dog ranger is any sort of the cut hard -- all right yeah I mean it's like they're made the movie for him -- like -- the wrestler was made for Mickey Rourke. In his current. In combination yes incumbent on the other actors could play that LL always have to be on steroids federated Chris Cooper's under -- at the leukemia but -- the supporting him. Not not top of mind and then he can do you can carry a movie. That's okay ago you know the best actors -- is Philip Seymour -- supporting guy now he's in great I don't know which is -- the like yet they make the next that that's that's maybe you don't want you know mimic a fortune. Mean how many ex grips is Jean Daniel Day-Lewis. You know. Philip Seymour Hoffman just throw votes you know not for me and there. -- million dolls to do this and they say no it -- particular artistically that. There.

like Ben Affleck brought a New Hampshire rob very rapidly then look at. Ups and -- it and laughing all in the bank good.

Bob Bob Bob. Yeah I guess you -- mentioned that Aaron one of my out on paper but I -- Morgan Freeman I mean that I had credibility -- then yeah.

Yeah -- I -- always bucket list with Mickelson yeah good but don't reject Russia should do a sequel. Shawshank redemption is populist he is correct and and and cements the judgment redemption in the world all right it's the bills that ESPN about his little little movie theater and his do little ball -- Manny Ramirez -- yeah -- isn't -- it's a good point -- it is L eight.

I -- we have to be at LA to get swept up in Manny mania anyway and he you know -- fails to see what. What happened here with man. What we we don't really like him anymore else.
