Fuck it, if The Kid is going to go all crazy coronavirus irrational heel on Strobe and refuse to admit his foolishness, I'm going to have some fun with Jimmy Stewart. James Stewart is a global treasure and an acting icon. Even though he placed #6 on my list, agreeing with PW, he really should be #1 and I am utterly ashamed at you all for not ranking him higher. Must be all y'all bias against films made before 1980. Can't handle a bit of black and white? Get a fucking grip. James Stewart was the ultimate hero of the common man (see It's a Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington for prime examples) decades before you all started jerking off to Bruce Willis in Die Hard. But he was just more than that. He was a convincing tortured paranoid villain in Vertigo, and a twist on the same character in Rear Window. He's a great romantic comedy lead. He's a joy to watch and nailed every role he's ever been in. PW sucks for not ranking him #1.

What the fuck. This has Lionheart written all over it. James Stewart is twenty times the actor Denzel and Pacino are. Actual GOAT and my number one. Even I’m not fervent enough to make such a ridonkulous claim, haha. But 20% better, sure. That’s still 20% better than some damn good actors though. Honestly, I don’t think James Stewart is the best actor of all time. He is definitely my favorite though and I also put him at #1.

You guys are delusional. Tell me James Stewart would’ve played Malcolm X better then Denzel? Go ahead tell me how. “He can’t be better because he can’t do specialty x or specific thing y!” Get outta here with yo bias. The overall package is what matters. Stewart only does one role type but it’s THE BEST role type. According to me, knower of all things. James Stewart is an American hero.

James Stewart didn't place for me (avoiding male bias blah blah blah) but people saying he's horrible are way off base. Watch the scene where he breaks down in Mr. Smith... and tell me that's not brilliant acting. He more than deserves a spot in the top 10.

Ranking just ahead of #2; I. E., chasing shinobimusashi off the site. Also, Lionheart with the good point. J-Stew is a legit war hero. Mad rizpekt to him for dat, even if his acting chops are meh.

Yet the same responses over and over again that had constraint would get boring. Peoples reactions are the best part. Agreed, hyperbolic reactions are great fun. Okay so if you’re going to come for me then you better fucking @ me motherfucker. Don't make me have to read through countless nonsense to get to this. Since we are battling a crisis, I’m not going to give you the smoke because I know we’re in a national shortage of N95 masks and you would suffocate so you better fucking apologize. I am showing you mercy. It wasn't even really meant as a slight. It entertains me. Long, thoughtful arguments are the best. But lots of the time I (and I assume others) can't be bothered to write/read them. Over-the-top outrage may be the next best thing. "Don't make me have to read through countless nonsense to get to this" - there was 1 short post between your last post in this thread and mine and then 7 short posts between mine and this one. You are an entertaining motherfucker, The Kid . What happened to Shin? I've been in and out on here for the last wee while.

In regards to war hero Jimmy Stewart, I enjoy the stories from the The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance set of director John Ford (who filmed footage for the OSS during WW2 and was wounded during the Battle of Midway) ridiculing Stewart's co-star John Wayne, who starred in WW2 films while it was still on-going but never served.
And speaking of Wayne, I would say he is one of the best examples of there being a distinction between being a great actor and a great movie star.

Before the start of the NFL season, Shinobi changed his name from 'Shin' to The One as a tribute to Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson wore an old Houston Oilers jersey with the #1 on it and Shin believed he would become the one to lead them to Superbowl glory.
After awhile the change irked some members of PW, causing illustrious member The Kid to open this thread where several members voiced their displeasure.
Among them was a post from Incy who wrote this...
This wasn't the first time Incy made a homophobic post in reference to Shin. Shin had posted several photos of himself working out and Incy made some off colour comments which annoyed Shin and he voiced his displeasure on those occassions.
What really set him off was that the post was liked by three other members. System, The Kid and controversally pi.
Shin felt a deep sense of betrayal from pi, even though pi is known for liking every post on the board. In a hilarious and ill-timed quip, Shin made this post.
Which pi of course liked.
Minutes later Shin made two more posts.
Which referenced the first run in followed by this.
Less than 24 hours later, Shin would delete his account prompting PW members to lash out. They began recalling other controversies, including the infamous TGO scandal which re-opened some old wounds.
Like Jesus Christ, Shin reactivated his account three days later and made the following post.
And that was the last we heard of Shin.
Attempts have been made to contact Shin, but so far he's yet to respond to any messages. Supposedly he's active on a Houston Texans message board, but his days of re-living old ECW tapes have become a thing of the past.
As a side-note, it's worth noting that one of Shinobi's most memorable stories was his involvement in the shooting of the 2009 Sasha Baron Cohen mockumentary film, Bruno. Shinobi was at the UFC event where Bruno's alter ego 'Straight Dave' reunited with his gay lover and proceeded to heavily make out with his camera guy infront of an irate Texan crowd. Shin supposedly was backstage and actually opened the curtain to let Cohen make his way to the ring.
They filmed this scene twice infront of two different events, but Shin was adament he was at the one that made it into the movie.

Way too high IMO. He should be around the same level as Pacino. They both have dizzying highs (Chinatown for Jack and The Godfather for Pacino) and crushing lows. (Jack and Jill for Pacino and Man Trouble for Jack) They also both are hugely charismatic actors that don't have a huge amount of range,

While I largely agree with [mention]bigpete [/mention]’s fantastic post, he forgot the exciting and epic twist at the end where it turned out Shinobi was actually an alt of TGO all along. The true reason he got mad and deactivated his account was because everyone was taking shots at TGO/him and he couldn’t handle the deception any longer. It all made perfect sense.

Jack Nicholson was my favourite actor for a long time, and he's still up there. I've probably seen more Nicholson movies than movies from any one other actor.
When I reflect on his roles, they are very similar characters, just in different settings. But then there are movies like The Bucket List, The Passenger, and As Good As It Gets when he changes it up a bit, and he's strong in all of them.
