I will never understand how Steven Seagal even had a career. I feel like I'm watching Tommy Wiseau whenever I watch him act.

He generated $700+ million Worldwide Box Office as a leading actor throughout his career.
I'll never understand it. It's not like his stuff aged badly. It was always bad.

I'm sure if I thought really hard about it, I could think of a worse actor who was successful. But he's a lock for top 3.

Oh, not even close. His early stuff is no worse than Arnold’s, for example, or Stallone, or JCVD, who makes him look like John Gielgud, or Johnny Depp in anything after he met Tim Burton, or Jason Shwartzman, or Scott Caan, or Lena Dunham, or Adam Sandler in almost any comedy, or Jaden Smith, or Kirk Cameron, or Chris Farley, or Mark Hammil, or Hayden Christensen, or Chuck Norris, or Bruce Lee, or Rob Shneider, etc....

Seagal was an "action star" with the athleticism and flexibility of an out of shape middle aged man. His repertoire of moves were mostly him flailing his arms around. Rarely leveraging his movements with the rest of his body. Film after film there's a ton of quick cuts every second with sound effects to make it seem like he moved more than 15% of his body.

In his "prime" I'd bet you a large amount of money he couldn't do this.


He ruins my immersion watching him. I become very aware I am watching someone fake fighting.
And do I have to go into the way he delivers lines? He could be celebrating his baby being born, speaking at a funeral, or threatening someone's life. His voice will have the same inflection. His acting is unintentionally comical.

Seagal was a better leading man than

mahershera ali

seth rogen

adam sandler

john krasinski

mark ruffalo

paul rudd

chris evans

my favorite recycled moves are the speedbag face punch, the forearm fracture, and the neckbreak chokehold. His best movie is the one with the twin jamaican druglords

Under Siege is of historical significance as it marked the last time that Gary Busey was actually sane.

I think Danny Aiello is a better (b-level) actor than Joe Mantegna...but Robert Loggia beats both of them.

My controversial take is that they're all wonderful actors and sexy dudes.

Meant to reply to this, since Italian-American actors are being talked about here. Aiello's relatively small role in Moonstruck was probably odd in that he and Nicolas Cage are playing brothers (they were over 30 years apart in real life age), but he has what I consider to be one of the magical Italian-American moments in the film (there are many that capture the experience so well). During the climactic scene at the breakfast table, Johnny (Aiello) and Ronny (Cage) are arguing about their mother, and Ronny says something like "Johnny, you're 42 years old and she's still running your life." The way Aiello snaps back "and you're a son that doesn't love his mother!" was done so perfectly (both with the tone of his voice and the look on his face), and reminded me of something any number of my male relatives may have said in that moment.

Anyway, Aiello was great.

I personally don't know anybody who disagrees with that. Now if that is your immediate response to the topic of Black Lives Matter. That's stupid.

It would be like breaking your arm. Going to see a doctor. And when you get in there she examines your leg, your ankle, your toes. And when you ask her what she's doing, she says, "HEY, ALL BONES MATTER!"

The statement is true. The sad part is we need to remind / demand that black persons are included in "all" and that society act accordingly.

As far as pets go, cats are better than dogs. Not every cat is better than every dog. But I think on average cats are better.
For example a bad dog can seriously injure a person or another animal.
A bad cat is ... skittish and antisocial. If I ever adopt an animal from a shelter, I'm going with a cat.

Tipping is a social custom and etiquette. Those who receive them count on them to survive. Pay it forward.
