Very funny, but doesnt John Leguizamo have a better career than Lou Diamond Phillips?

3:43 AM posted by

Yeah, I'd have to agree about John Lequizamo vs. Lou diamond Philips. Wouldn't Christopher Lambert(for the accent) or Pierce Brosnan(2nd rate 007) been better choices for the poor mans Sean Connery?

4:05 AM posted by

Who ever made this would not pick pirece brosnan as the lesser of sean connary because he was going off of a very visual camparison rating system as oppose to a who played what character whem comparison

That John Leguizamo and Lou Diamond Phillips shouldn't be in this at all. They're both poor men and don't deserve lesser characters. Everyone else is pretty accurate....except for the comment about Ron Perlman. HOW DARE YOU!!!

First of all, if you are going to post a comment, maybe read it over before you submit it. Seinfeld makes a shit LOUD more money? Idiot. Secondly, NO he does NOT. John Travolta is WAAAAYYYY richer than Seinfeld. IDIOT.

1. Jerry Seinfeld's income is MUCH higher then John Travolta's. In 1998 Seinfeld broke records for having the highest annual earnings for a TV actor. He is said to have earned an estimated $360 million in 1998 for his work on Seinfeld. (Guinness Book of World Records) That alone beats IMDB's listing of Travolta's earnings, and i know that's just what is listed for Travolta, but it doesn't even break $250M.

2. The guy from Europe clearly knows the language, i see no spelling or grammar mistakes, perhaps the poster who suggested he learn the language would care to point out why?

As for my contribution, Winona Ryder is the poor mans Keira Knightley.

8:59 AM posted by

1. Travolta has not earned anywhere near as much as Seinfeld. In 1998 Seinfeld broke the Guinness Record for being the highest paid TV actor, earning an estimated $360 Million for that one year. I'd be amazed if Travolta has earned that much in his lifetime, so if you add on all the other years of Seinfeld's earnings, it will dwarf Travolta's.

2. Whoever replied to the European's post, care to explain why they should learn the language? Because from what I see, they understand it just fine, no spelling mistakes, or grammatical errors.

3. Winona Ryder is the poor mans Keira Knightley.

meryl streep is the poor man's glenn close. but winonas MUCH hotter than keira. sucks that i cant find anything on her

2:15 PM posted by

Umm, I didn't comment on the European's comment, but I can tell you that it was probably the 'your stupid country gives me pity' comment. The way he worded it sounds like 'we' give 'him' pity, which we should since he completely missed the point, like a lot of you out there. Humor, people! Not to be argued over! Weirdos.
