he was, like, born old
you should see Street Smart if you want to see him in a different mode (you have to put up with Christopher Reeve in the lead, though).

Morgan Freeman roles don't fit into the magical negro thing you racists, now someone produce a number already

9
― PhilK, Saturday, 29 September 2007 20:40 (eighteen years ago)
I think the double shot of Glory and Driving Ms Daisy cemented his Watchful Negro Goodness schtick, but he's great in both of them. For mean Morgan go to Brubaker, Street Smart (the movie which prompted Pauline Kael to ask if he was the greatest American actor), Clean and Sober and Nurse Betty.

The answer to the title question should be Se7en, just for lols.
― slugbuggy, Saturday, 29 September 2007 21:49 (eighteen years ago)
I read this frist as "he went gay," which puts a new gloss on Se7ven and Million Dollar Baby.

American actor Morgan Freeman has worn a hat in precisely six (6) films.

The best part is that the Freeman eyebrow pic only scrapes the surface of the endless well of insanity that is Dreamcatcher
― latebloomer, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 18:07 (eighteen years ago)
Does everyone have those eyebrows (including the ass weasels)?
― HI DERE, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 18:08 (eighteen years ago)
In Edison Force, he basically pushes Justin Timberlake (an upstart reporter for his small-press paper) out of his house and then proceeds to imitate Cosby finding a giant freezer full of pudding pops to "Street Fighting Man" or something.
x-post my favorite scene is when Jason Lee HAS to try and get a toothpick off the ground without letting the ass demon out of the toilet. No waiting for Thomas Jane to come back with the tape, he NEEDS that toothpick!

i would like to see morgan freeman as a pimp, it would probably be a revelation given the (as acknowledged in this thread) EXTREMELY limited range of character types he's played in the past 15-20 years. sometimes in those recent films he shows flares of anger and it's quite tantalizing.

MORGAN FREEMAN's publicist has dismissed new reports the movie star is to wed his step-granddaughter.U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer claims the Shawshank Redemption star, 72, is romancing 27-year-old EโDena Hines, and the couple is planning to wed once the actor's divorce from his second wife Myrna Colley-Lee is final.But Freeman's spokesman, Dave Falkenstein, insists the story is, "complete garbage."
