russell crowe is back on my badass list

I
I wonder if Crowe and Eddie Vedder are related?


People hate Russell Crowe. It's a law in some countries to do so. But what has two thumbs and thinks he wants to party with Russell Crowe? This guy. (boy that was worse written then in my head) According to news from WENN, Crowe has been banned from his favorite pub in England because he refused to leave once closing time came around. The article aslo states that this is the first pub in England that Crowe has been banned from.


I'm on board with Russell on this one. How can you get mad at a dude that just wants to party? I know I can't. Remember when you're in a mood to knock a few more back then usual? That time when they are going down just a little too easy, and everything is clicking just right. The worst thing that can happen is some one saying closing time. People are always saying Crowe is a trouble maker and that he's hard to work with. Maybe that's because people keep pulling the booze from his had. I know I would be pissed if something like that happened to me. Crowe would be a great drinking buddy, there is no argument about that. He's got good size if you get in a fight, and he doesn't shave so he looks like an average brocat. I also thought that people in England loved to party and have a few "pints". This story is so "not" the England I have pictured in my head. My England is full of Sienna Miller look-a-likes that drink Harp and not cosmo's. Everyone goes nuts over the local football team, and walks to the pub with every intention the will not be walking, but stumbling home around 4. My England has people well into their 70's doing this at least 4 nights a week. Fights happen where people are punched in the face, and then it gets broken up and everyone laughs as they have another pint. Russell feels this way, I know it.


Russell Crowe isn't the problem, you are England. And now I'm upset.

COOPER'S VOICE




I was watching HBO the other day and was going back and forth between "Gladiator" and "Braveheart." I then started to ask myself this question: Who was cooler?


EXPERIENCE/FIGHTING SKILLS: This goes to Maximus. As far as I know William Wallace only fought in two, maybe three major battles. Maximus was the major general in the Roman Army. It takes time to climb the ranks like that. So I am assuming he was in more major battles than William Wallace. According to Braveheart, most of the fights were small skirmishes. Its like comparing the Invasion of Normandy to the time I hit my college roommate in the balls and ran into the bathroom stall and locked myself in there for safety. Just not the same.

ADVANTAGE MAXIMUS


ORATORY SKILLS- Gladiator could never top the "take our lives but never take our freedom" speech from Braveheart. That speech was right up there with King Henry's "St Crispin Day" speech, the "win one for the gipper speech", Bluto’s speech in "Animal House," and any speech that Jay Wright has ever given to my Villanova wildcats before the second half.

ADVANTAGE BRAVEHEART


CHICKS: This has to go to Braveheart. Maximus' wife may have been a prize piece back in the day but he could never move on to something fresh. Sure, William Wallace was a little whipped and pretty much fought and started a war because the English killed his wife, but the same could be for Russell Crowe in Gladiator. At least William Wallace gave the ultimate F-you to the king of England by tagging his son's wife. Maximus didn't even have the stones to make a move on the sister of the emperor, even when she tried to KISS him. William Wallace fired one home and knocked up the princess of England. Style points.

ADVANTAGE BRAVEHEART


ARMOR/Overall Fashion Sense: This is close but I go with William Wallace. They both kinda wear queer skirts, but I am a fan of plaid so I think kilts are cooler than the mini-toga skirts that gladiators wore. William Wallace also wore face paint and he made it look intimidating. Replace blue with green paint and that guy would be tough enough for the 700 level of Veteran’s Stadium.

ADVANTAGE BRAVEHEART


WEAPONS- Braveheart had that huge kickass sword. Maximus only had that little thing. From what the ladies tell me, size matters.

ADVANTAGE BRAVEHEART


I thought this would be closer, but it looks like Braveheart runs away with it.
