your opinion and i have mine, but im taking the thing we talked about in your post, and turning it into a different post, about the use of the word brilliant, because its a word, that should be restricted to a few performances, not used to talk about some hacky doing a crappy job, and i can be a whiner if i want, so lets settle.
: Wow... you are starting to sound like a real whiner to me.
: It's an adjective, generally meaning the same as exceptional in this context. Whether other people overuse it has absolutely no bearing to me. I have always thought that this particular performance was very well done, so I have no problem using the term.
: And is there some reason you have to keep starting new threads about this?
: : around? i mean fallon in almost famous=brilliant, i guess alex winters was brilliant in bill and teds excellent adventure then.
