what is it about James Woods that bothers you?

[datasuspect]

i think he's self-aggrandizing in roles.

[Bertha Venation]

1. He's never won an Oscar.

I think he's an excellent actor, although he's not one of my faves.

[peekaloo]

2. his rat face.

[Z_I_Peevey]

13. succinct.

And so true!

[RedCloud]

3. He kept that secret in Contact...

She have had her biorhythms tested before and after as further evidence. Rotten flunkie.

[jobycom]

4. Nothing. He's a moderately good, highly intelligent actor who is fun to watch.

He always plays the same character, but it's a good character that fits a variety of roles, and he can vary it enough to create different emotions, or be funny, or whatever. He played one of the best voice-acting roles ever as Zeus in "Hercules."

Name an actor who isn't self-aggrandizing. That's pretty much the point of acting. If actors were satisfied with themselves, they wouldn't get into the field.

5. Fantastic actor

I can see how people could take him as self-aggrandizing though. He seems like he could be a bit of an oddball personally, but then again, I am too, lol.

[underpants]

6. 1600 on his SATs

Aced them

[Wetzelbill]

7. I never knew that

That's impressive.

[UTUSN]

8. He was amazing as "Roy COHN" but is freeperish?!1 Otoh, maybe that's why he could "do" COHN so well

Might as well stick in here, OT, that toe sucking Dick MORRIS is first cousins BOTH to Cohn AND to cartoonist FERLINGETTI(sp). Weird ends of the political spectrum.

[WinkyDink]

9. Nothing. I love the guy!

[graywarrior]

10. He has no eyelashes

He's an alien. I love that.

[Shell Beau]

11. He tried to take over Peter Griffin's life!

[Ikonoklast]

12. His dead, soulless eyes.

He has the gaze of the Undead.

[no name no slogan]

14. How he never gives me a reach-around when he's nailing me from behind

It's just common courtesy, for fucks sake.

[GCP]

15. His politics

I like his acting, but I think he's probably a real dick-head.

Quote:

Jul 31, 2003 | James Woods has frequently played manic characters, men with so much information clicking around their synapses it sometimes seems to blast from their mouths in fast, staccato streaks.

Woods the man doesn't seem altogether different. During an interview with Salon, to talk about his new movie "Northfork," Woods discussed his admiration for George Bush and his intense dislike for the president's critics, as well as Bill Clinton and the particularly dumb breed of Hollywood liberal he seems to run into a lot.

snip

So you think Bush is smart?

Yeah, I do.

Why?

Because he's president of the United States and we aren't. It's facetious and fallacious reasoning to assume that you could be in a position of power like that and on some level not have the ability to do pretty shrewd and careful and, yes, intelligent, things, to be involved in intelligent enterprises.

You don't think a "Being There" scenario is possible?

No, I don't. "Being There" is a lovely fantasy and that's what makes it so charming. But in the real world, it just wouldn't happen.

So if Bush hadn't gotten elected, it would have been possible to think of him as stupid, but because he got elected we must assume he's smart?

No, no, no. And by the way, OK, that's what I was saying. I was obviously just dismissing the question, but let me be accurate. I think it's a nonsensical conversation, honestly, if someone's intelligent.

I don't know, give him an IQ test and I'll look at the results and tell you my response. Do I know that Bill Clinton was a liar? Yes, he admitted he was a liar, so yes, I have to believe, if the man admits that he lied under oath then, yes, we know for a fact because the person who committed the lie admitted to the lie. I'm not gonna say if somebody is smart or stupid or not. I don't know, I'll tell you when I read the results of the test.

So are you a Bush fan?

Yeah, I am. I'm very circumspect about people. If someone does something just loathsome, like Nixon or Clinton, then I don't have respect for them. But I'm one of those people who thinks that being president, you've got to give people leeway, it's got to be not a very easy job. So I tend to be a little more circumspect in harsh judgments of people because I think it's easy to take potshots when you don't have the job.

[redqueen]

20. Yep, that's my answer too.

Love the subject line. :D

[RedCloud]

16. Those gooey videos in Videodrome

How are we supposed to watch them after that?

[Bryan]

17. Nothing. He's all things to all men.

[tigereye]

18. I think he's very good, so nothing, despite his occasional smarminess

he was also a great animated Hades in Disney's Hercules....
