(rip, atg). no, to me the best role goes to captn. lou albano in brian depalma's _wise guys_, a vastly underrated comic vehicle for danny devito and joe piscapo. comic genius. ep sato wed, may 17, 2006 at 01:52 pm est how in god's name was andre the giant's performance in "the princess bride" ignored? roddy piper was okay, but "they live" was a terrible movie. what "out of the loop" no brain non hipster with no pop culture knowledge wrote up that pathetic excuse for a list? anybody with any sort of pop culture knowhow is well aware that roddy's best onscreen performances are the xxx rated porno films he did in the 1970's. that's some pro wrestler action worth watching. and hulk hogan's best movie was "suburban commando" (it was awful, but in every way better than hogan's performance in the over rated rocky iii). not that you know, i have any feelings on the subject... sean wed, may 17, 2006 at 01:48 pm est how do you pick the rock's performance in "be cool" over "the rundown"? heather wed, may 17, 2006 at 12:30 pm est as a professional wrestling fan for most of my life (and yes, i am an educated middle-class woman- these things rarely make sense!), i have to say i didn't exactly hate "ready to rumble" which featured many wcw faces. i got that it was just as cheesy as some people perceive wrestling to be- or how cheesy wcw was at the height of their demise. i also think andre the giant in princess bride was his classic role and i think that hulk hogan as thunderlips should have been higher on the list. and no jesse ventura for predator? he dies but he still kicks a little butt before he does. and diamond dallas page in devil's rejects was just enough of a supporting role for him to be effective. and then there's kevin nash as super-shredder in teenage mutant ninja turles 2: soto and stone cold steve austin's turn as a racist guard in the longest yard (which not a great movie but he made me cringe when he got in nelly's face and i was actually uncomfortable watching his character- and that had kevin nash too!)...but i could go on all day. but i am most happy for the rock who has pretty much taken all good steps in his career and while many people may say he has done too many "adrenaline" movies, i think "southland tales" will put to rest anyone doubting his acting abilities. tara wed, may 17, 2006 at 12:22 pm est um... i disagree. what about andre the giant's performance in the princess bride. way better than his performance in conan. anybody want a peanut! mac thomason wed, may 17, 2006 at 12:17 pm est tor johnson's greatest performance was obviously in the beast of yucca flats. advertisement add your comments the rules: keep it clean, and stay on the subject — or we may delete your comment. if you see inappropriate language, e-mail us. an asterisk (*) indicates a required field. your name your e-mail address remember my info * your comment 1000 characters remaining when you click on the "post comment" button above to submit your comments, you are indicating your acceptance of and are agreeing to the terms of service. you can also read our privacy policy. permalink link to this post using this url: http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/392561/4905898 later post earlier post top categories 'heroes' 'dancing with the stars' britney spears fall tv emmys all categories blog roll huffington post hypebot coolfer idolator digital music news hits daily double velvet rope jaded insider tuned in ask ausiello lost remote reality blurred tvnewser tv barn tv tattle deadline hollywood daily movie city news hollywood wiretap thompson on hollywood hollywood elsewhere top authors annie barrett gary susman mandi bierly marc bernardin michael slezak simon vozick-levinson popwatch archive november 2007 s m t w t f s         1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30   complete archive home | help | site map | about us | advertising | magazine customer service | subscribe | promotions | privacy policy | terms of use | rss copyright ©2007 entertainment weekly and time inc. all rights reserved. more trusted sites from time inc.:all you | coastal living | cooking light | cottage living | essence | health | in style | life | myhomeideas.com | myrecipes.com | people | people en español | real simple | this old house | southern accents | southern living | sunset | time | time for kids
