Costner's very good (acting and all) in A Perfect World.
He's sort of like Jane Fonda as an actor. The less good his character is, the better his performance.
I did catch the snark in Bev's praising his performance in the Big Chill, though.
Willow, check you out! Witch-Fu!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I did love him in A Perfect World.
I hated Mr. Brooks because of Dane Cook. But the idea was a good one--but it was poorly executed. The subplot with the daughter and everything involving Demi Moore was lame.

Didn't know who DC was at the time and just assumed we were supposed to loathe him and root for KC to kill him.

Always Anti-fascist!
seeing his standup does not change this impression.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Bev speaks for me wrt Linda Hunt, and her awesome performance in The Year of Living Dangerously. I'm always delighted to find her in things - but I had no idea she was in Pocahontas! I'm guessing Grandmother Willow?
scurries of to imdb
Yes indeed. Oh, well, good for her!

“Not dead yet!”
That one or The Big Chill.
::snickers quietly::
I loved Costner in Fandango, but then, I have an unreasoning love for that movie and its entire cast.
Agreed on wishing they would have developed the relationship between Paden and Stella more.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
He went on to make Waterworld And then somehow he didn't learn his lesson, and then he made The Postman.
My Theory Of Kevin Costner is that he's good if he's making a sports movie. He's charming as hell in Tin Cup (which also has Cheech and Rene Russo), and I love him in Bull Durham and American Flyer.

Fandango deserves a lot of love.

Because books.
I loved him in Bull Durham and A Perfect World and actually Dances With Wolves, although that started grate after it was the only movie ever shown on TV for years, it seemed. Oh, also No Way Out. That was the Navy one, right?
