I think it could be interesting if he did put in a huge effort (maybe even with the help of these new weight loss drugs) to slim down and revisit his Nico Toscani character as a sequel to Above the Law.
Beyond that, it would be cool to see him appear (uncredited) in a small cameo for a big budget movie....playing either a bodyguard, assassin or henchman. Have him show some acting chops though...beyond just being a grunting tough guy.
Here's an example of a story it could be cool to see him in: As an aging assassin, 3 decades loyal to his boss, he is deployed as part of a team to take out some key figure. When they show up and take the guy out, the guys' daughter comes in the room and sees them. The team moves to take her out as well, but Segal's character neutralizes them and saves her life. From that point forward, they're on the run. And the only way to save their lives is for Segal to take out his longtime boss/friend.
This is pretty cliche and cookie-cutter, I know. But in the hands of the right Director (like Tarantino), it could be interesting. Slim him up, let the beard and goatee be greying....and direct some decent acting out of him. Show a vulnerable side of him, and make him likeable.
Except that Bud kinda looked like a gorilla.
I disagree.
We can’t have the show end before we see Kumiko.
It’s been an interesting arc, watching Jimmy transform into a cowboy, given how he started out.
I think it's that he's just not very intelligent, and just falls lockstep into Hollywood groupthink. In those circles, it's fashionable to just blindly hate on Trump. They all feel (or at least felt) like they were on the side of the cool kids, and wanted to be in the cool kids club. Guys like Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, Fallon, Deniro, Springsteen......they all think if they hate on Trump, they will get cheered on and worshiped by the cool kids club….like they’re speaking out for the people or something. In reality, they are misguided, brainwashed idiots....following groupthink to their detriment.
If you ever listen to Deniro trying to back up his hate with actual thoughts and rationale, he doesn't come across as being very smart. I don't know why so many people give any creedence to these Hollywood idiots. Many of them don’t seem very smart or have any perspective at all about the common man.
What if someone challenged a young Tyson....and Tyson had the same reply? Would he be ridiculed, or would he be considered a confident badass? Double standard? It's all part of the hype surrounding fights. It drums-up the intrigue. They're probably already trying to hype up that fight......and that kind of cockiness and retort is exactly what fight hype is all about.
I’ve seen every season, but didn’t notice a difference (other than all of the kids look a bit older).
What’s wrong with her face?
He writes so many macho roles for himself because he feels he's a macho guy in real life.
For a time back in the day. I think he actually believed he could box!
(Just like how Jason Statham actually believes he knows martial arts--beyond choreographed, MOVIE martial arts)
I think the suspicious timing of the power grid outage will generate (pardon the pun) a full-on investigation. Especially since Kaycee made that call. An investigation is the last thing that hit firm wanted. But you're right, sometimes you just need to go with it and not nit pick, in the name of compelling stories.
