Roles that I feel Alec Baldwin absolutely nailed; Glengarry Glenn Ross, The Aviator, The Good Shephard,  & The Departed.

I could not bring myself to see Glengarry Glenn Ross, as I had heard that there was just so much offensive and foul language in it.   I even heard that the Lord's name was taken in vain on several occasions in the film.

I did see him in the Aviator, and thought he did a credible job, although in a rather minor supporting role.

Yeah, there is a lot of cussing in Glengarry Glenn Ross, but whoopee it's a great movie.

Well, he was really upset with Basinger, and should have addressed his remarks to his ex.  His visitation order only allowed one phone call a week, and it specified a specific day and time.   He could not call his daughter on any other day, nor even at any other hour.   Basinger's attorney had insisted on this in court, as she did not want to ever have to answer the phone when he called.   And she said that allowing him to call at just any time or day would be too inconvenient for her.  Yet, when he phoned, no one answered, even though it was the time the court had reserved for him to spend talking to his daughter.

He was obviously upset that he was being prevented from having any contact with his daughter.   He just took his frustration out on the wrong person.

While Baldwin did say the words on the tape, it was Basinger who released the tape to the public.

So tell me, who is the one who used the child to their advantage??

Basinger is clearly a far better actor than Baldwin.   But is she the better person?   I sort of doubt it.

Women: shouldn't run for president, do complicated math, or direct Punisher movies.

BTW, you guys' have seen BOTH Punisher movies? This latest one with Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle, and the earlier one which cast Dolf Lundgren? I was wondering which one you were referring to as a pile of poop?


Both. 

What is really sad, the game that was made for The Punisher movie was actually better than the movie.

I don't think I've heard the Lord's name spoken in vain (or at all for that matter) in a movie, with the exception of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
“I’m an angel. I kill first borns while their mommas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even – when I feel like it – rip the souls from little girls and now until kingdom come the only thing you can count on, in your existence, is never ever understanding why.”
