Have Shex
He's still alive, stop lying.

What the fuck didn't he understand about Lord of the fucking Rings?
Why they didn't just use the eagles
>Forgetting his last film ever
Reminder that the Brothers quized all the actors on the philosophy referenced in the movie, and wouldn't let them start filming until they passed. Laurence Fishburne was the only one that passed on his first try.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is great ya pinhead
>the good Avengers
If he'd done LOTR he would have got $30m plus 15% of the box office.

outland best shawn connery movie of the 80s
Oh has it come full circle and now it's good?

Fucked the prom queen
Will we get based Fishburne for Matrix 4?
There is like a billion characters and locations and he's an old man who didn't know how to use the remote to turn on the tv.

He made Zardoz, which more than makes up for any bad choices he ever made.
I bet they told him it was going to be some Pixar-level cutting-edge animation.
He'll have done this as a favour, it's not an Orson Welles level of JUST.
didnt wanna go to New Zealand which back in the nineties was a real backwater that, outside the three main cities (and nineties Wellington was really close), was no more developed than Zimbabwe.
It's pulp kino
what's the third city, christchurch?
yea
and its real shame because Christchurch before the earthquakes was one of the most pleasant cities you'd have seen. now its gone, so too is Pretoria and Salisbury.
but dont be sad its gone, be glad it ever happened.
