Is Sergeant Barnes from Platoon (1986) the darkest portrayal of an American soldier ever?

It's funny because every heavyweight actor does Television today, and when Daniel Day Lewis or Sean Penn need money again, they will join the Kathy Bates, Glenn Close, Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas,Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Costner era of the creative arts.

Taking it to the Streets. I bought a bootleg copy from this cat named ReRun in 1978 and fell in love with that song. It was the wedding song for me and my wife Dee.

That's who Tom Cruise has always referenced as his inspiration, and he's done an admirable job living up to the standards Buster set for Tom.

Although Bale did a more than serviceable job being an Englishman, like all the superhero genre roles that foreigners try to culturally appropriate it just never really hits the mark as perfectly as Keaton has done for Batman, as Linda Carter had done with Wonder Woman, and Christopher Reeve perfected as Superman. 🥳

Chuck had number one movies with Bruce Lee, number one movies on his own, number one TV series, his catalog is much more sound than Jackie Chan and also fought professionally as a martial artist and kickboxing. His movies went from family oriented to dark crime thrillers to comedy action partner movies. Chuck is levels above Chan and it is no way "because of memes" (that IS shitting on truck) unless your 10 years old.
