and i guess, tom cruise -- "everything"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

what if the role calls for smugginess?

― QUOTATIONS FROM SMARTY JONES (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 04:55 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah do you mean intentional smugness or what?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 04:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i mean international smugness

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, i would disqualify a lot of cruise's performances from this because i don't think intentional smugness qualifies.

so no it does not.

The award for international smugness goes to Roberto fucking Beignininaynay0howeveryouspellit.

don't let him jump over your seat or kiss you at the podium.

that's some hardcore graffiti behind them!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Can I choose the poster itself, too, it being all meta-like?

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:15 (twenty-two years ago)

don't fuck with the uptown MOVIE POSTER click; they'll steal your bike

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:16 (twenty-two years ago)

i want to meet the guy who does the "RELATIONSHIPS" tag!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:16 (twenty-two years ago)

or "decaf"!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:17 (twenty-two years ago)

does it say "café sex" right there above "RELATIONSHIPS"?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:17 (twenty-two years ago)

hahaha no, that's "safe sex", which is when you fuck in a bank vault

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard "hey that's my bike" just went all-city.

― CHAIRMAN YADDAYADDA (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:23 (twenty-two years ago)

oh man, the Buzz Words crew will shank you in an alley and steal your trucker hat.

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked the one above Ethan Hawke's head more when I thought it said "Joe"

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:59 (twenty-two years ago)

nah the one sayin "buzz words" yeah man

― Frank Swedehead, Wednesday, 19 May 2004 06:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Despite his being quite likable in my opinion, just about every Kevin Spacey performance qualifies as smug.

/thread END!

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 06:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Kevin Spacey is seriously smug. good call.

― Debito (Debito), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 06:31 (twenty-two years ago)

anything at all from Paul Thomas Anderson's overwrought oeuvre!

(I almost typed ovary, which woulda been cooler)

Jack Nicholson's pretty goddamn smug.

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still of the opinion that Kevin Spacey isn't a very good actor at all, he's just happened to occasionally get into a one-dimensional role that fits him (Glengarry, L.A. Confidential, The Ref

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Al Pacino in _Scent of a Woman_ and/or Richard Dreyfuss in _Mr. Holland's Opus_. Take your pick - "hoowah!" an infinitum or signing & singing a John Lennon song.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

i was going to say the latter myself!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

tom cruise is still good though, right?

Pernell "My Job, My Way" Roberts in "San Francisco International"

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

ooh, I second Meryl Streep, EDR. She's basically the Virginia Woolf of contemporary American actresses. And she's smarmy, rich, white, condescending, snide ... just terrible.

― x Jeremy (Atila the Honeybun), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

spacey in 'glengarry glenross'?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I really think he's good and out of all the Hollywood leading men, he takes more chances, but Clooney in Ocean's 11 was Smuggy McSmugsmug

Parker Posey, Waiting For Guffman (hey, I like it, but it's smug as hell

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Michael Moore is pretty smug (in an amusing way, I guess, cuz I still like most of his films.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Not one mention of Mickey Roarke? How soon they forget.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Mickey Rourke in Bullet?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 23:40 (twenty-two years ago)

How about two for the price of one: Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, that would be Mickey & Don Johnson for those of you who have suppressed the memory.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 23:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I HAD suppressed it.

Lay off Virginia Woolf there, bub.

― Leeefuse 73 (Leee), Thursday, 20 May 2004 05:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello in Hudson Hawk win

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 20 May 2004 05:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Kevin Spacey wins. Especially in American Beauty, where we're ludicrously asked to sympathize with him for being the smuggest, most unforgiving asshole ever.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 20 May 2004 05:25 (twenty-two years ago)

JOhn Malkovich in Being John Malkovich. I guess he's taking the piss out of himself but god he acts like a tedious tit.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 May 2004 05:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Please somebody agree with me on this one.

Richard Fucking Gere in "Primal Fear". The worst actor ever excelling in his worst role ever.
