    It's about bloody time The Chin released a shater-esque album. His voice would be excellent for it. In fact, someone should put this to music. Is this a real commercial? I thought Old Spice was gone years ago.

    by therealmoriarty

    True story.

    I was talking to Ron Perlman once, as he was in Vancouver rehearsing for DUNGEON SIEGE. He was shaking his head, thinking about his schedule for the next few months.

    "I'm doing weapons training for this piece of shit, then I go to Romania to shoot another piece of shit, then come back to shoot my part in this piece of shit..."

    sigh

    "What can I say? My wife loves shoes."

    Same sentiment, different phrasing.

    Still, it's a good story Moriarty! In Bruce Campbell's "If Chins Could Kill" he uses some math to show he's not exactly getting mega-rich off his acting. I don't think it's selling out - that's what artists do. Actors do indeed need to put food on the table.

    And for what it's worth, I've already got it.

    Nice little story, Mori! + little info on Boll

    by klaus herzog

    I especially like the subtle Boll-bashing.
    Hehe, even the stars of his movies know it will turn out to be apeshit. Money makes the world go round.
    And since we already are on the subject Boll and money:
    I heard from a very reliable source (trust me, VERY reliable), that Boll has still controll over a German film fond, which basically financed all of his previous crimes against cinema and which still contains a total value of 120 Million Dollars!
    I'm not sure if the production costs of Postal are included in this summ or not, but it seems we still have to endure a few turds from Herr Doktor Boll in the future.

    It must have been a completely circular set with the camera in the center. Bruce gets up from a red leather chair (fireplace is burning). He walks around the circular set to the fireplace again (it's no longer burning) and sits in another red leather chair. Fireplace turns on. Big painting has the Old Spice logo over and over again.

No - Old Spice is NOT cool - it's crappy budget cologne. Dude, yer making us over 30's look bad.And for the Bruce haters - apparently you haven't read his books or enjoyed the training section of the Spider-man game.

    THERE IS NO BIGGER HICKS FAN THAN ME. He never appeared in ANY fucking ads...NOT ONE. Not even to hype his own HBO special.

    Manaqua - Why Bruce is a Man-God:

    by mbeemer

    1. He's ONE OF US. He and his geek friends (like Sam Raimi) played at making films when they were kids. He actually succeeded in doing what he always dreamed of doing as a kid.
    2. He has NEVER let Hollywood go to his head. He knows it's just a job.
    3. He has ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS been fantastic with his fans.
    4. He's a trooper. He takes the roles, no matter how big or small, no matter how physically demanding. He doesn't complain; he just does the work.
    HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!

    I like Bruce well enough

    by novaman5000

    But some of you guys like him a little TOO much. Like if he said "line up to spongebathe my testicles" I think the line would be out the door with this bunch.

    Oh and...Finally.... paragraphs?!
