@badradger saidHe was Batman?π¦π²
pulp fiction would have been a great pic with or without bruce.... dont get me wrong I enjoyed most of his films but he only ever played Bruce.

@badradger saidYou can say the same for most actors. Tom Cruise plays the same exact hot-shot character in every movie, same for Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Joe Pesci, etc.

It's been this way ever since the silver screen. Marilyn Monroe was the sexy, soft-spoken blonde, Humphrey Bogart was the tough, no non-sense guy, Jimmy Stewart was the likable nice guy....and on and on.
Bruce was no different from most of the great actors.

@badradger saidBoth very watchable movies in their time though I think.

Gibson is possibly one of the worst actors of the superstar Hollywood elite, although I do like most of his films. Nicholas Cage must be the worst, for me he is unwatchable. City of Angels I throw up for immediate evidence.

@divegeester saidNicholas Cage did a well received performance in Leaving Las Vegas - his best perhaps.

@divegeester saidI haven't been impressed by Nicholas Cage acting in other films, but he moved me in Leaving Las Vegas as an alcoholic going to that city with the sole purpose of drinking himself to death.
And to be fair I’ve not watched much of his stuff.
Possibly due to City of Angels π

@divegeester saidHe does play one of the greatest booze hounds in cinematic history.
