World's Finest Actor Retires At Age 10

But fear not, his brother is ready to take his place as the world's NEW finest actor.

Did you know that Uggie is ten years old, and that he had to work 15-hour days while filming The Artist? Did you know he was also in Water For Elephants? (I didn't, and I reviewed the damn thing.) Did you know that he's getting a little tired in his old age, and just wants to lay by the pool? Did you know that he has a little brother named Dash who's going to be the new best actor in the world? Did you know that he's retiring at age 10, and his last public appearance will probably be at the Oscars? Do you know who's a good boy, who's such a good boy you're a good boy, aren't you yes you are!

Does anybody have a link to the story Rorie was talking about on the podcast where a dog won an award because the other guy was a Nazi?

Ahhhh. THIS is why we come to Screened! Quality movie coverage sure, but - much more importantly - Rorie's love of cute puppies and kitties! It's been FOREVER since Rorie did this last!

Oh and Alex, fuck Nicholas Cage. I'm with Rorie - Uggie is our greatest living actor!

It's always sad when the best canine actors have nothing left to give. I cried when Buck Bundy had to retire :'(

Time to relax and write his autobiography.

Retired at the top of his game

Somehow Rorie made the manic, excitable tone of talking to an adorable dog into this whole article...

    A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

    Review
    Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

    When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.
