According to the IMDb, as of April 7th "Dragonfly"s US gross was less than $31 million. My God, "Waterworld" is the top-grosser on the list. He must perform a LOT of humiliating acts to keep finding work...

(There are some who would endlessly defend "Waterworld," but damn. I was channel-surfing the other day and came across it, during a scene in which a small plane was circling Costner's boat, anchored to it by a line. The pilot leans out and tries to break the line by shooting it where it's anchored to his plane (behind the cockpit). When he fires, the bullet somehow nearly hits Costner back on the boat. If the utter stupidity of that doesn't immediately strike you, draw a diagram. Remember, the plane is circling the boat and the pilot fires directly at the rear of his own plane. The whole movie, and any given point, is that stupid, but my favorite bit will always be when Costner Our Hero threatens to drown a little girl for using his crayon. *snicker* )

Considering how much Waterworld cost to make, 88 million is probably worse than all the others.

13 Days is the only Costner film I like. The only bad thing about that movie is Costner's accent, so I guess I just don't like Costner. He's too damn white. I'm pretty white myself but his honkey-tude offends me.

I would humiliate myself for 15 Million of $ right now. Can you help? About Costner, he is an OK actor, so I guess the way of getting out of trouble (suppossing somebody who earns 15 Millions is actually in trouble) is start making movies wich don't suck. As easy as that.

>> but my favorite bit will always be when Costner Our Hero threatens to drown a little girl for using his crayon. *snicker*

Costner wasn't really the Hero in any traditional sense, at least not at that point.  Remember, he also almost traded the woman for sex in exchange for goods.  He was the protaganist is the sroty, but not the Hero untill close to the end.

Man, Kevin Costner really stinks. I never did like him that much anyway.

[Neville]

Costner is not a great actor, but he's been pretty good now and then (he is almost excellent in that Eastwood movie, "A perfect world"). However, since he became a star most of the movies he is in are just vehicles, and that looks pretty dumb to me because I think Costner doesn't excel in anything in particular.

[AndyC]

It's the collossal ego that makes Costner movies especially bad. Witness Tom Petty's cameo in the postman, in which he tells our hero that he used to be somebody important, but the Postman is the man now. I don't remember his exact words, because I just caught that part in between dozing off. Really bad though.

I think when any actor becomes rich and famous enough to do whatever movie he wants whatever way he wants, trouble isn't far behind. Prove that you can win awards and bring in big bucks, and you'll be handed enough rope to hang yourself. I can think of a few actors who made better movies earlier in their careers than they did after a few years of stardom.

Yeah, sure, just watch Harrison Ford. Can't believe he accepted appearing in flicks like "Devil's own" or "What lies beneath". Funny fact: even in those pieces of crap, he acts well. I hope "K19: The widowmaker" is better than those or "Air force one".

[Biscuitrocious]

Costner is the most interchangable actor making that kind of money. Hell, J.T. Walsh had more screen presence, and he was considered a character actor.

Costner's shining moment in Waterworld is when his home/posessions, etc, get torched. How does he react?

"My boat."

Like someone asked him what time it was.

"It's ten til four. My boat."

And he's balding ungracefully.. let it go, Kev. You're old and unsexy, you non-acting bastard. Here's a Wahl home clipper kit and a hand mirror. Do us a favor and surrender to your genetics.

[Fearless Freep]

Harrison Ford's choices have always been spotty.  He's a great actor who sometimes show's up in some pretty stupid stuff, but he always gives a good performance anyways.

At least he's had better fortune the Lou Gossett Jr and some of the turkeys *he's* been in
