missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3103 | I rented it and turned it off after ten or fifteen minutes. Just finished "Good 'ol Freda," a documentary about a Liverpool girl who at 17 started working administratively for the Beatles: she was with them til they split up. Worth watching for Beatle fans. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I was trying to keep a list of movies I'd like to watch and some of them were older. One was "Barbarians at the gate" with Johnny Depp. I like his acting, especially the Caribbean series. He is "out there" most of the time. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

"Barbarians at the gate" cast did not include Johnn Depp. Waiting for the Barbarians is a 2019 drama film directed by Ciro Guerra in his English-language directorial debut. The film is based on the 1980 novel of the same name by J. M. Coetzee. It stars Mark Rylance, Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson, Gana Bayarsaikhan, and Greta Scacchi. In 1988 RJR Nabisco was purchased by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. in what was at the time the largest leveraged buyout in history. It has since been beaten by TXU valued at $32.1 billion, when TXU Energy turned private in 2007. "Barbarians at the gate" cast from 1993 (I remember this film) James Garner as F. Ross Johnson Jonathan Pryce as Henry Kravis Peter Riegert as Peter Cohen Joanna Cassidy as Linda Robinson Fred Dalton Thompson as Jim Robinson Leilani Sarelle as Laurie Johnson Matt Clark as Edward A. Horrigan, Jr. Jeffrey DeMunn as H. John Greeniaus David Rasche as Ted Forstmann Tom Aldredge as Charles Hugel Graham Beckel as Don Kelly Peter Dvorsky as George R. Roberts Mark Harelik as Peter Atkins Joseph Kell as Nick Forstmann Rita Wilson as Carolyne Roehm-Kravis Ron Canada as Vernon Jordan |

I'm fine with the academy People in the movie entertainment industry voting on what they themselves like. These are not critics. I'm always curious who will win But Doesn't mean I will see it. I've only see about half of the best pic winners over the last 20 years. I really enjoyed Everything. I was entertained. I hope it wins. I generally root for movies I've seen. The highest rated movie on IMDB to never be nominated for any Academy Award The Good, The Bad and the Ugly It's a masterpiece in my opinion. Especially the music.
