I agree with Duke! They were such uneventful movies, I didn't even want to go see any of those. I don't know who most of those people are. I do happen to like Reece Witherspoon a lot.....wonder why the Johnny Cash movie didn't get up there in the running with the gay-cowboy Tard movie??

Merika hit the reason right on the head. I had no intention of seeing any of the movies and still don't care if I ever see them. It doesn't matter how good brokebum mountme is, I'll never see it.

That is why retirement homes were invented. Sharing a TV with 30 or more people, you are bound to see what you have never seen before.

Brokebum Mountme...................BWAHAHAHA!

I did hear briefly on the news this morning that Reece Witherspoon won. I don't remember the name of the movie that won....but it wasn't the cowboy one.
