What Happened? Russell Crowe
Why, Matthew...you did that very graciously. One is...proud. Well, at least of that, possibly not so much for the repetition of gossip that has been proven unfounded in that Meg herself has come forward publicly and said most plainly that her marriage was already over with Dennis and that she went ahead and let Russell take the blame because it was easier for her to do so than to speak up in his defense. He never once called her on that. If you check around I'm sure somewhere in cyberspace is her confession of her so doing. It made the rounds a year or two ago but, of course, a retraction is never so widely seen as the original accusation. At least you are not totally down on the man and had the ability to recognize such as "The way he wears it, it barely looks like a costume." So true. You see, I am not getting my money's worth out of the time it took me to register to post my original comment. In future you should be more wary and let sleeping Jo's lie. Which, come to think of it, doesn't really fit, now does it, since I'm telling the truth. One last thing, well, possible last...one never can hardly ever sometimes actually tell about these things...but you are judging movies you have not seen up there in a few instances. I happen to live in Pittsburgh (people do, you know, though I lived in San Diego the first 2 years of my life and again at 5, but that hardly counts as anything more than a digression of the worst sort) and so am rather fond of The Next Three Days and will not even mention the fact that I entertained myself for a day by being an extra in it because, well, that would obviously cue you into the fact that I am not without bias in this matter and we certainly would not want to do that, now would we?

What Happened? Russell Crowe
An interesting, if opinionated, overview. I have, sigh, gone to all the trouble to set up an account merely, sigh, to comment on a certain point that you make. You see, he was so good in A Beautiful Mind that it lives on in the public's perception, and obviously yours as well, that he DID win a second Oscar for his portrayal of John Nash. Though the picture won, he himself did not win, and has only the one Oscar for Gladiator. I am actually quite fond of this misconception because it just goes to show how not only should he have won, but a large percentage of the populace actually remembers it that he did. You are not the first to make this statement as fact and will not be the last. I just always enjoy it when I come across it because it makes its own point. Denzel won that year for Training Day, a role that cannot compare with Russell's Nash. Obviously it does not compare because people seem to remember that Russell won. There is some justice in that, I do believe. Jo— March 8, 2012 10:38 a.m.
