Shocking. <br /><br />P.S. Before any big break came Costner was in a soft corn porn...yikes. Maybe it was a western porno? I'm sure you girls would looove it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582082930627418795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723655154973228907.post-85475544582925452302010-05-15T17:06:03.542-07:002010-05-15T17:06:03.542-07:00Thanks for the Costner support Lindsay!Thanks for the Costner support Lindsay!Laura Lieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971139744724938702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723655154973228907.post-13807465783278596422010-05-15T10:52:13.633-07:002010-05-15T10:52:13.633-07:00I'm with you Laura - love Costner.

I don't think its narcissism....if you can both act and direct why not do it? Everyone is entitled to their Costner opinion and you two definitely made some solid arguments for the other side. That being said, I will always LOVE Kevin Costner!Laura Lieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971139744724938702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723655154973228907.post-67155431171910628112010-05-14T21:46:55.462-07:002010-05-14T21:46:55.462-07:00Kevin Costner isn't the most polarizing figure...Kevin Costner isn't the most polarizing figure to me, however, since you opened the floor to a rebuttal...why not?! <br /><br />This is based on the 15 aforementioned films:<br />4/15 of the movies are Westerns.<br />4/15 he was or is a baseball player.<br />4/15 westerns + 4/15 baseball players = in over half his movies he plays 1 of 2 characters.<br /><br />Most actors avoid typecasting like the plague. Clearly Costner likes to roll around in the all the horse manure and infield dirt of his Westerns and baseball films like, well, like it's his job. <br /><br />Maybe branch out. Maybe be the bad guy or play a retard. I'm just saying.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />p.s.

...I'll tell you why I give him a hard time....<br /><br />He directs and stars in his own movies to portray himself as a larger than life ,greater than thou, universe saving protagonist to feed his own narcissistic needs.<br /><br />How about killing yourself off in the first 5 minutes of your next film Kevin...then I might watch it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225703450930892674noreply@blogger.com
