***You, Sir, are a gentlemen. A gentlemen without a clue, nor any obvious qualifications that would enable you to make relevant statements about the talents of actors, but a gentlemen nonetheless.
"Yes, Leonardo is lousy actor in my book, no good actor acts like he does."

***I see. So GOOD actors act alike. Thank you for clarifying your viewpoint. It's all starting to make sense now.

Let's presume that you are right on all counts. How does that justify you being irrational and angry? Why don't you instead take a deep breath and simply tell us why you love him so much? I am sure you know the story about honey and vinegar.

Until then I shall simply repeat *my* viewpoint: he is an incompetent actor, a product of the current Hollywood tendencies, of which one shiny example is the huge Titanic flop that is to movie making what Coca Cola is to fine wine. Nothing wrong with consuming Coca Cola and I do my fair share, the wrong begins when someone declares it to be a "fine movie". Losing set of references and perspective is obvious in that case.

To say I love my wife playing piano is understandable. To go on saying she is a world class player would be laughable. The Titanic is the 1990's Cleopatra and we can bet all we want, my bet being that ten years from now no one will seriously consider it, outside of its huge pile of earnings. On a further bet, one shall still seriously consider such things as Bicycle Thief, 8 1/2, Das Boot, etc, etc.

I remain clueless regarding your anger and apparent inability to express your viewpoint.

I further remain clueless as far as why being a EE automatically disqualifies someone from having an opinion on movies and actors.

The rest of your post is fine...

Victor.
