This piece of crap was nominated for an Oscar?


I figured this was just some feel-good drama made for women to cry at. I didn't know people actually took it seriously. Sean Penn must have so much power in Hollywood. Oscar nominations mean nothing anymore.

Well, Dustin Hoffman and then Tom Hanks proved that the type of role that Sean Penn PLAYS = Oscar. Of course, he lost, proving "Tropic Thunder'"s "Never Go Full Retard"[just quoting, not to say the term myself] advice.

Funny, Sean seemed to almost be copying Dustin Hoffman in the film with some of the behaviours but it wasn’t translating into anything believable. Sean Penn was just acting a ret*rd and getting paid for it. The funny face pancake tantrum at big boy burger sealed the movies fate.

What can you say, this was a Hollywood hit but a realists flop. Hope North Korea hacks Seans emails and posts them...but why would they smear an ally right?

what ails most madmen is realitys grasp or escape, a paralysis of analysis
