    I hate method actors. It's so stupid.

    A great old story was back in the day, dustin hoffman had to play someone exausted and run down in Marathon Man. When he walked into set, Lawrence Oliveir asked what's wrong, as he looked terrible. Hoffman said he was trying to be convincing for the role so he hasnt slept in 3 days. Olivier responded "It's called acting dear boy"

    Maybe that's why Daniel Day turned down "Brokeback Mountain".

    Daniel Day-Lewis is an amazing actor, one of my favorites. He is also fucking crazy. His performances speak for themselves, but damn..

    I thought it was alright, even with LDC and Diaz hamming it up for the most part. DDL was not the only good actor there, B.Gleeson also was good.

    Don't you think Brandan Gleeson and Ray Winstone look alike?

    DDL is awesome. Gangs of New York and There will be Blood, just awesome performances there.

    I hope that wasn't DDL doing the narration because he didn't sound a thing like the real Lincoln.

    Lincoln actually had a high-pitched, reedy voice by all contemporary accounts
