Morgan Freeman

La-la-la with Morgan Freeman


 I've had various (la-la-la-la) go-to outlets over the years, for when I'm feeling "bad stuff" overload (ahem).  RFD-TV was one.  Some will remember me posting cattle auction videos.  More recently I turned to EWTN (Catholic TV), but their world news is really very good, which means very troubling.  I feel guilty using eff-words in church, so to speak.  Lately I turn to my cache of Through the Wormhole episodes, narrated by Morgan Freeman. I can't think of a better speaking voice than his.  Add to that his acting career.  No, not just that every movie he makes is eminently watchable; it's that he's the rare Hollywooder who seems to be grounded; nowhere close to your typical movieland left-bot.  He's someone very easy to like.

 Anyway, I go to sleep listening to Wormhole every night, and every morning I wake with a wonderful understanding of quantum physics - that I unfortunately can't remember.  Maybe Freeman's best moment - maybe the best moment any American has ever had - is this 60 second clip from a Black History Month interview with Mike Wallace.  Morgan Freemen may be the smartest guy in the country.

Through the wormole is an oustanding show and I cant help but like everthing Morgan does.

Morgan Freeman is quite possibly my favorite actor. I love him and respect him - cannot say that for 95% of Hollywood - especially after that tramp actress dropped the f-bomb on award show last night. What a no class tramp!

I'm was unfamiliar with that allegation, and thanks for the link [ahem]. It does appear however that Freeman is the Black Woody Allen (he married her). Carry on.

Morgan Freeman could make a film in which he read the Yellow Pages and get an Academy Award nomination.

He is just that good.

What this country needed about 750 days ago was a "Dave" moment, as in the Kevin Kline movie of the same name.

Since nobody really knew Ovarmint at the time, we coulda run in a Denzel Washington or a Morgan Freeman or . . hell, even an Eddie Murphy.

Just THINK how much better off we'd be today. Boggles the mind.

Was talking to the neighbor kid over the week-end. Morgan Freman came up as one of the topics (Nathan had filmed a movie over the summer with Freeman, Dolphin Tale, kid/family friendly, out one of these days).
Anyway, he and his mom talked about what a nice man he was and Nathan made the comment "he was just like hanging out with grampa".
Sure glad he is straight.
