I found The Green Mile to be manipulative and predictable, and its characters were one-dimensional. I believe American Beauty is a better choice for the Oscar. 🙂

Don’t feed the troll.

Don’t artificially promote interest in the thread by changing the subject. It just feeds the troll. If you want to discuss Green Mile, go start a thread on that in MPSIMS.

This is not a comment on Cecil’s Comments. It should be moved to MPSIMS. Or maybe the Pit.

Remember, **Don’t feed the troll**.

If any one questions why I’m making that statement, go to MPSIMS.

I don’t understand. I thought Green Mile was a good movie. Not many gays in it, though.

ANY man would be my last choice.
