I think he would have been one heck of a friend to have. I agree, plus I saw a interview on his boat. He was a patriot and pulled no punches when it came to race and the entitlement crowd.

Costner is good in sports movies. Everything else he did was Waterworld bad. Last edited by Kodiakisland; 04/14/15. Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

"Ow". “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

By far my favorite John Wayne movie. I think if John had not been so typecast, he would have surprised his most severe critics. But most people wanted to keep him in the action hero role.

He's the same character in every movie he plays. A greasy voiced, too cool for school schmoozer with a range of facial expressions that only a rock could envy. But he is very successful. 4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.

They could have gotten some eye candy that could actually act a little if they tried. Jane Seymour, and Diana Rigg were the best. The worst? That's a long list. Lois Chiles as Dr. Goodhead in Moonraker. Kistina Weyborn in Octopussy Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike in Die Another Day Non Bond- Elizabeth Shue was horrible in The Saint but maybe none are as bad as Kate Capshaw in IJ - Temple of Doom. They made those otherwise watchable movies unwatchable. "The Democrat Party looks like Titanic survivors. Partying and celebrating one moment, and huddled in lifeboats freezing the next".
