The only thing Russell needs to eye is a bar of soap and some Luke warm water

I know there is a lot of justified hate for Brand, but the guy really hits my funny bone. I'll give this a chance.

@narrator@SpaceCowboy You have to admit, 2 hours later when it finally loaded, it was badass! and I do miss those days on here... everyone ripping dumb people a new one, chasing morons off the site... and our little gang having our decent, intelligent conversations!

Yeah, your layout was great... though it did take a while to load. Haha. @mcleve02
My thoughts exactly, @SpaceCowboy.

@SpaceCowboy It is a better layout! I love the tagging as well, this way you can easily tell who people are talking to!

@mcleve02 Ahhh, the good old days... But now, instead of MW copying MySpace's layout, it's copying Facebook.

@skywise Back in the day when we were able to really sp*ce up our profiles, this was the background pic and the writing was all purple and green with a Joker mouse pointer! My page was insane! I know @SpaceCowboy and @narrator loved it! Even if it did take about 30 minutes to load! haha

@skywise BTW, how do you enjoy the new avatar? Exceptionally creepy yes?

@skywise Agreed. People have got to realize that these people are artists in theater and acting... They should be able to do everything! Williams with Nolan, how was that not going to be awesome!?

@mcleve02 Chris Nolan's Insomnia with Robin Williams was a prime example of a camedian doing drama and doing it well. It is a fantastic movie and it got decent reviews. Fans and critics both liked it. But typecasting can really narrow an actors opportunities.

@skywise It just makes me sad, robin Williams as a prime example, that when people establish them as strictly comedy and don't give any of their serious stuff a chance... I worry people will do that with him! I really hope not though

@bawnian-dexeus I comepletely agree. Comedic actors generally do very well in Drama. They say that comedy is the hardest so if you can do comedy then you can do anything.

@skywise Dude, I was originally born in Germany. Well on a Military Base, but still... I lived in Europe for a nice length of time... Americans really are a$$holes... not all, just most! So no offense taken at all

@mcleve02 hell, Egnland pretty much threw him out after his fiasco with his radio show. What is a fallen Englishman to do after offending a Nation? Go to America of course, where everyone is born offended.
I hope that doesnt offend you.

@mcleve02 I wanted to step up my game a bit.
He is funny but it just seems like hes been all over my tv screen, movie screen and computer screen. Over exposure is not always a good thing.

@skywise Well of course, he still is a funny man... But hey considering my name on here, shouldn't I be making the bad jokes! haha
