Not bad for a sailing ship captain!

Pretty bad for the frontman of "30 odd foot grunts."

I like Gladiator. While not as gae as Alexander. I still feel guilty. N/c wf9

I can't even begin to describe how much I hate this guy. On the other hand, I can't even begin to describe why I hate this guy so much. Maybe it's because South Park did such a good job of making him look like a d-bag. That's where it started. I think.

Come on guys, he is tough Aussie [ex-Kiwi].
He actually needs some loving.
I liked "Gladiator" for that scary Barbarian scene and excellent role of hare lipped Phoenix. Well, he is the cute one. Isn't he?
I loved "Master and Commander" because of sailing ship chases. I feel like a landlocked sailor. I keep checking "the Decemberists" records just because I share certain fixation with their songwriter. That beautiful booklet of the first CD. Wow!

Russ is the man. I find him very charming and kind of sexy and that's just enough sometimes. I guess he might come as an asshole but I really know nothing of him.

"Alexander the Great" is the greatest shit. I felt lousy wasting my time and money. My friend is guilty, not me.

Not crap based on early work in L.A. Confidential and his turn as Jeffrey Wigand in the Insider.

but pretty good as the inspiration for the Frenzal Rhomb song 'Russell Crowe's band is a fucking pile of shit'.

Don't get a million bucks for getting out of bed,
Don't get a million fucks when i punch folks in the head,
But even if we know we'll never get a billboard top 10 hit,
At least we know that Russell Crowe's band's a fucking pile of shit.

Don't get olympic athletes to my barbecue,
Dont get extortion threats from the Coffs Harbour Saloon,
but even if our pay checks may as well as be conterfeit,
At least we know that Russell Crowe's band's a fucking pile of shit.


Apparently he started his career in New Zealand as an Elvis impersonator called 'Russ La Roc'. Even so, that phone-throwing incident was so lame that he gets a solid CRAP vote from here.

Hah! I finally got it. I am quick. You were talking about his rock'n'roll band. God forgive me, but I already have prejudice - is that good ol' rollin' with long rockin' hairdo? Russ, cut your hair and grow the beard.

I saw only part of "Insider" and always managed to miss "LA Confidential" on TV, allegedly solid movie. Has anyone watched Romper Stomper? Btw, I've seen two other pretty vacant Hollywood licks: "a Beautiful Mind" and "Proof of Life". I read somewhere that mathematician (real person) portrayed in the movie had a homosexual affair in his youth. I missed that part in the movie. Too bad.

I cannot imagine a better pick for a role of gladiator.
Muscled bound Governor of California maybe?
No way! I had enough.

30 Odd Foot of C....

Beyond CRAP.

Although he is the source of some amusing local anecdotes here in Sinney.

You don't want to go saying bad shit about Russ though. Chances are, you might end up regretting it.

You can never be an "ex-Kiwi"! Hasta la Kiwi Siempre!

Whatever.
