Oh wow, Jeff Bridges is a genius... He's my new God!!

Joaquin Phoenix gets heckled - whether this is genuine or all just a Borat style movie in the making is still to be made clear.

Says the video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by someone.

I kind of wondered whether he was doing some sort of "experiment" on film or something like that. It just seems all too weird.

I thought I saved it too... ah well

He's either completely off his chump or it's an elaborate scam - what I didn't understand was why the audience was so much in support of him as if he was some kind of hero. Weird!

Sad indeed.

This is very sad news and reminds one how a single moment can change your life for good.

I honestly can't remember seeing anything she was in.

Not to Bea...
Golden Girls star Arthur dies at 86

Golden Girls star Bea Arthur has died the age of 86, after a struggle with cancer. She died peacefully at her Los Angeles home on Saturday with her family at her side. Dan Watt, who was her personal assistant for six years said: ‘She was a brilliant and witty woman. Bea will always have a special place in my heart.’

Arthur was a stage actress who got her TV break in the Seventies sitcom All In The Family – based on Till Death Do Us Part – as Edith Bunker's liberal, feminist cousin, Maude Finley. She was such a success in the small role that she was given her own series as Maude, which ran for six years.

After that she starred in the short-lived 1983 sitcom Amanda's – an unsuccessful American version of Fawlty Towers – in which she took the almost recognisable role Basil Fawlty role. Two years later Arthur was cast in The Golden Girls, playing divorcee Dorothy Zbornak, until the show ended in 1992.

In recent years, Arthur made guest appearances on shows including Curb Your Enthusiasm and Malcolm in the Middle.

--------------------

I first remember her as the bitter Unemployment Benefits officer in 'The History Of The World Part 1'. She was great at playing the grumpy old woman in whatever she did.

Yeah, I am surprised, given her talents, that the Fawlty Towers take off didn't do well. I don't remember it (I was a huge fan of Maude...loved her!), but there are a thousand other things that could have been bad...I still try to catch the Golden Girls reruns as often as I can. It was a brilliant show. She will be missed.

[Skylace]

An amazing talent. My heart goes out to her family. She will be remembered and missed.

[eefanincan]

Such a disappointment! She never really fit the beauty queen role that so many actessess today do ---- she was so valued for her wit, sarcasm and acting/singing skills. A real loss.
