  1. I wonder if 900 ugly YouTube toy collectors are gonna harp on *him* for ten years…

  2. I really like Kevin Costner as an actor, so I hope he really means this, because his resume of films hasn’t really shown this to be the case. I realize he was not always in control of the film casting, especially early in his career. But now that he has more pull, it would be nice to see his films be more diverse in terms of main characters. Representing everyone in substantial roles on screen. Like putting woman in spaces you don’t normally see them, or Asians or Hispanics, etc.

    But, either way, I like him as an actor, and he seems like a stand-up kinda guy in his personal life, so wishing him well.

  3. Dances with Wolves doesn’t count? If any group has been under/mis represented, it’s Native Americans.

  5. Not sure the stink of Yellowstone is coming off any time soon, Kevin, and that’s from someone who grew up loving your movies. EVEN ROBIN HOOD

  7. Kevin then you probably shouldn’t have worked with notorious prick Taylor Sheridan, who writes POC and women as token characters and runs a dangerous set.

  8. seeing him makes me remember the movie Mr Brooks and I thought that was a great movie! he was so creepy and believable as a serial killer. I used to have the dvd years ago and kinda want to watch it now. No one seems to mention it.

  12. This MF from Compton?

    Learn something new everyday I guess.
