The difference is:

Nicholas Cage tries too hard, though I must say he was pretty good in Guarding Tess.

Schwarzenegger? Don’t think he ever tried.

Can I nominate Sylvester Stallone for worst actor?
He is pretty much Rocky no matter what role he is in, and that one may have been perfect typecasting.

lmao … yep he is right up there :smiley: He played the Rocky role well … but as you say that trailed over into every other role he played as well :smiley: I did like the original Rambo movie … but like Rocky, the sequels got more absurd as they occurred :wink:

It took me ten years after Sean Connery’s last Bond role to accept, yes, he actually could play other roles.

I love Sean :heart: I really loved his performance in The Hunt for Red October and in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Then you should see him in The Hill, A Bridge Too Far and a small role in The Longest Day.

That list looks vaguely familiar. LOL.
So you like HODS?
Did Barnabas die at the end or pretend to die and fly off as a bat? It’s been a debate for decades (not to mention that, at the time, it could have meant ‘sequel’):slight_smile:

In case there are any other fans of The Big Lebowski, a friend told me about a TBL podcast called Gutterballs. Each episode covers one minute of the movie. I’m only a couple of episodes in. Parts of it are interesting, parts get a little dry. If nothing else, it reminded me that it’s time for a viewing of TBL . . . and a White Russian.

Maybe not a movie, but it is still one of the best.
