Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are men amongst men. They're not "pretty boys" persay. We're not seeing a Leonardo Dicarprio or a Paul Walker here, actors who look like they couldn't fight there way out of a wet paper bag. Russell Crowe and Christian Bale not only are amazing actors, but they have great charisma and are masculine.
obviously you haven't heard of Obviously you have neither seen or heard of Running Scared (Paul Walkers best film to date) and Tears of the Black Tiger (Thai Western released last year) and Russell Crowe using a phone as a weapon is pretty masculine
Oh come on now. Don't go claiming pretty boy Paul Walker is a great actor. Running Scared was a pretty good film but nothing to rave about. Just another Tarantino type ripoff. I liked it, but it's not a classic. Walker was pretty good though. Don't even go there about Russell Crowe. I mean have you seen this man in Romper Stomper, L.A. Confidential, or a little film they call Gladiator? I mean talk about badass.
Didn't he punch out a few paparazzi in real life?
Yeah, among other things, most recently the phone throwing incident with the hotel clerk.
Well the paps deserve it, not sure about the hotel clerk, but one should know better to insult the guy who kicked the ass of every one in LA Confidential.
I finally got to see the trailer for this. It looks pretty good, and I hope that the film is half as good as the trailer.Again, though, the film being successful is entirely seperate from quality. I don't think there's been a really successful Western since "Unforgiven" (even "Tombstone" wasn't that big of a hit), so even if us Western buffs like it, will that be enough to draw in the crowds.
Man FUCK tarintino! Just because its stylisitic to the max doesn't mean that its a "Tarantino" rip off. And seriously don't know how you can compare badass to the need to fight like what Russel Crowe does
I said it once and I'll say it again, "Running Scared" was nothing but a Tarantino Ripoff. Russell Crowe is one of the best actors working today and arguably the best of his generation, period.
I don't think anyone can rip off Tarantino, he's too weird with his scenes where they talk about nothing and countless close ups of bare feet.And yes Russell Crowe is a great actor, I thought he was robbed of the oscar for A Beautiful Mind.
He most certainly was robbed for his work in A Beautiful Mind. I thought he deserved that award over Denzel Washington who won it for Training Day. Yes, Denzel was good in Training Day, but not as good as Russell's work here.
