Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Maybe if it was a good garage band.

Has Russell Crowe made another period action movie after Gladiator that wasn't another Gladiator?

I wouldn't call Master and Commander another Gladiator--it didn't have the same vibe at all.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I get why people like the Russell Crowe appeal, but it's not one that I'm really into.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I like "The Insider" Russell Crowe and that movie he was in with Denzel Washington.

I actually don't think I've seen an action movie with him in it. It surprises me to type that sentence.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"A Beautiful Mind" is still my favorite.

information libertarian

Robin Hood is directed by Ridley "Gladiator" Scott, and one of the trailers is horses in misty woods and a certain weird sort of horn music that is EXACTLY what the music was during the "horses in misty woods" parts of Gladiator.

I liked Gladiator especially because Russell had to be all in shape and not paunchy for it. Yes, I am that shallow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ridley Scott has done a bunch of movies that aren't Gladiator. I just think that anything with Crowe in it even vaguely close to the battling style is going to get tarred with the Gladiator brush for good or ill, just because he's in it, dressed up, fighting for the common man.

Airbender to go 3D? Green Hornet to go 3D. Both in post. Ick. Not that I was going to see either...
