Seems Russell is now in Newfouldland making a CD with Great Big Sea's Alan Doyle.Doyle is producing and singing on the CD..i'm kinda dissapointed in Doyle.But if anyone can make Crowe sound good it could be Doyle.

That is until Doyle makes a mistake, which will 'force' Muscle McBitchtits, excuse me, Russell to back Doyle into a wall while threatening him, bite him, beat him, and then throw a phone at him.

My boyfriend and I just came back from seeing Cinderella Man, and may i just say that regardless if Crowe is a major dick head in real life, he is so talented it's incredible. He is inspiring to other artists, he is so good.
There was a scene (hint:"hat in hand at the club") that had not only myself, but almost everyone in the theatre in tears. You could just feel his fear, desperation and despair battling with his pride. Incredible scene.
No matter how many phones he throws, I have to hand it to him, he is one of the greatest actors ever.

I agree. I think he's probably the best actor working right now. (I don't really count De Niro, Nicholson, etc. because they're not doing their best work now.)
But, he is an ass. My dad and I decided that we want him tossed in jail, but they should let him out on a work release program. Whenever he's not filming, he has to go back to jail.

LOL, Colette.
Oh I'm betting he's has that battle every day in real life too. Heh.

And I guess that's why I have problems with defining Crowe, or anyone else for that matter, as "greatest actor ever". Putting aside my dislike of Crowe (with a crane and shipping container) he like, everyone else, has starred in films that were utterly shite. He's also has had roles/moments of brilliance. Crowe is at a position now where his overall body of work is enough to keep being offered scripts of a high quality because his moments of brilliance outway roles like "Velocity".
I think it's interesting that in the earlier part of his career, mostly in Australia, he was cast in a few comedic roles. I wonder if this was a) because that's a product of the Australian Film Industry (comedies/quirky films are something Australia produces a lot of and in the 90s they were actually good) or b) because he actually had a sense of humor when he was younger or c) he always wanted to be a "serious" actor and comedies(ish) were his vehicle to get there? I guess he chooses roles/scripts/characters he identifies with and I guess these days he identifies with manboobs and boats, arseholes in armour killing CGI ligers and geriatric whistleblowers.
It's gotten to the point where you could predict whether it's a FuckBucket/Howard flick by the voice over...
"In a time of desperation and despair one man would triumph over hardship and struggle, and unleash his fists of depression fury..."
"In a time of boats and violin playing, one captain would sail around the world and triumph over other boats and violin players..."
"In a time of Romans, Caesars and Christians, one man in a suit of armour one man would unleash hell and kill some lions...."
And if it wasn't clear before, it should be blindly obvious now that yes, I AM an idiot.

Dool, seriously, you need to move to LA and get a gig as a comedy writer.
And topic? Russell blows.

I found this quote about the phone incident interesting:
Sounds like either Danielle is fairly insecure or he is such a rat that she has to worry primarily that he's alone. Or both.
Ugh. No thank you.

You just can't make stuff like this up, can you?
So, after the jury at the CMJ trial getting all starstruck and refusing to believe the victim and the witnesses we now have an assult, with witnesses, and on videotape. What else do they need for some time in the big house?
