Playing the 'Tard Card

[Wyatt_Junker]

Whenever an "actor" feels the need to go Oscar-bound, they play the tard card. And the Academy falls for it, because its one of the most politically correct organs of the cultural vanguard. And what's so ironic, is that playing a tard is one of the easiest roles to do. Just drool a lot and bang your head with a tennis shoe. Pathetic.

Here's Cuba Gooding Jr.'s latest foray into grunt acting.

What are some other tard flicks? Please add to the list.

1) Nell, Jodie Foster
2) Forest Gump, Tom Hanks
3) Slingblade, BB Thornton
4) I am Sam, Sean Penn
5) The Other Sister, couple of no-names
6) ...and Travolta played a tard twice.

What am I missing?

[DesertFox]

Falling Down?

[Timberwolf]

Benny & Joon...Johnny Deppschitt, Mary Stuart Masterson

Dominick and Eugene...Ray Liotta and Tom Hulce

Rainman...Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman

UHF...Kramer (of Seinfeld fame) plays Stanley Spedowski (OK, so this one's a bit of a stretch).

And that movie with Shawn Cassidy...he plays a 'tard and is married and they wanna have kids....

I'm assuming he means "retard." Mentally challenged. One who rode the shorter bus to school. Am I right?

But Not much, Michael Richards played Kramer, he tried his own show for a (extremely) short time and it didn't pan out, personally I thought they were all milking Seinfeld for all his name recognition.
