Movies Kevin Costner wanted to make Schindler's List

[humperdoo]

They should remake it with a cast littered with black, gay and trans folk.

This will be timely for the politics today. I wanted to rewatch it on Netflix but it reminded me of that Canadian parliament's standing ovation for a former Nazi soldier. Yikes.

That's not 2024 enough. Replace the Jews with black, gay, trans Palestinians and make the Jews the Nazis. Calling it Biden's List may be a little risky though

Kevin Costner is a weird dude tbh

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

He should’ve sticked to Yellowstone with his old washed up ass, it’s the only relevance he’d have today

Everyone shits on waterworld but the postman was way worse.

He's got a lot of good movies too though. A perfect world, for love of the game, dances with wolves, open range...

 

[koquerelle]

And Waterworld is average rather than bad.

It's dreadful.

 

[UberHere]

Oh well. He was still the best Robin Hood

 

[Gigacardio]

It's dreadful.

It seems only the critics have that opinion. The public at large either like it or think it's ok.

 

[Natural Order]

Imagine calling Waterworld ‘average’.

Possibly the worst movie of the 90s.

Not true at all.

Any remake of Schindler's List would be like drawing a Hitler moustache on the Mona Lisa, especially by Kevin Costner. Most of us have seen Waterworld, Kevin

Why are you so dismissive like that was the only thing he ever did? He also directed Dances with Wolves which is one of the greatest (and best directed) movies of all time. And he wasn't even supposed to direct Waterworld, he only took that over after Kevin Reynolds threw a fit.

I'm sure everyone is happy Spielberg did the film, but Costner deserves at least a modicum of respect.

Waterworld has 47% from critics and 43% from audience.

Waterworld | Rotten Tomatoes

After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. Some humans have survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner (Kevin Costner), have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. A loner by nature, the Mariner reluctantly befriends Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her...

4/10 is the bad end of average, which I think is fairly accurate.

The film was cursed from the start, with huge amounts of bad press about the crappy working conditions and the whole set sinking. It was basically Mad Max on water, but Costner was a really uncharismatic replacement for Mel Gibson and all the other performances were weak aside from Dennis Hopper. The action set pieces were great, but everything sticking them together was pretty crappy.

On the plus side, it's aged quite well, just for the fact it was one of the last of it's era when all the stunts and sets were real, before CGI became the standard for this kind of thing.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

Well I’m glad he didn’t because Kevin Costner sucks, and his acting is rather awful. He has been in some ok movies but anyone else could’ve and probably would’ve done better. Except Tin Cup that might’ve been the perfect role for him.

True. Him and the Princess Bride guy

 

[Mulder_81]

the Princess Bride guy

Cary Elwes.

 

[Belaya Smert]

Dancing with Schindlerstone

A Jewish coming of age tale set in the reservation hills of Wyoming

 

[greygoose]

Basically, a Nazi western. Cool stuff

 

[Gigacardio]

Not true at all.

that's definitely what I've noticed along the years.

 

[humperdoo]

Russell Crowe version was better actualy.

"I auditioned for the guy in his kitchen." Wtf? "Kevin, hold the bread higher...no higher. Kevin, above head level"

Maybe a Field of Dreams / Schindler's Lineup List could work. If you win it, they won't starve.
