(46,192 posts)as dumb as I am, I'm not so dumb that I'd defend an AR-15 three hours after the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.

CreekDog
(46,192 posts)i haven't interacted with you except for the gun thing which you only responded to in order to give me a hard time, like you go to the gungeon...but when i post what's the purpose of an AR-15 you suddenly show up.
it's all bullshit. whatever you issue is, i don't know you.
whatever's up your ass about me if you want me to change something, let me know. it can't be this place because i am never here.

I will watch all of Absence of Malice, just for the climax with Wilford as the honcho from D.C. That scene is magnificent, and he was superb!

(2,404 posts)... about his performance in Absence of Malice. It was one of the best character actor performances Ive seen. He nearly stole the movie in less than ten minutes.

I thought that movie was teetering because Newman couldn't save it from her over-emoting.
The Wilford enters.
True climactic performance.
