The Postman is insanely bad. So bad, in fact, that there was a joke about it in an episode of The Simpsons before that show totally went to shit. Lisa is looking at a DVD player and TV on display in a store and it's playing The Postman. She decides to check out the commentary, and it's just Costner saying “I'm sorry†over and over. That movie almost killed his career totally, especially coming on the heels of Waterworld. -
WATERWORLD was #1 at the box office and eventually turned a profit. He says he likes POSTMAN just fine but thought his approach should have been different. Neither has seemed to affect his career as much as the peanut gallery would like us to believe.
He probably hasn't put as much thought into taking the role in LET HIM GO as much as I've thought about why he took it. He probably thought it'd be a fun to do a little movie filled with a bunch of good actors. I'm not sure what else was out at the time during the pandemic but it debuted at #1. So I'm not sure if it's a misstep, I just didn't care for it and was disappointed, it probably hit all the marks it was meant to. It was never going to be award material anyway. A quick look shows the reviews were overwhelmingly good so it's probably just me. *shrugs*"When I die, I hope to go to Accra"Comment

Costner's career is in TV now, and the occasional indie/DTV film. (Some of which are good, some awful) He ain't no a-lister anymore and most people under 30 really don't know who he is. I'll always like him though. He did some great work for a while there and was a dependable likeable moviestar, despite his big bloated flops.
But on topic:

That's true. But how many A-List stars are there over 50 years old? Brad Pitt, George Clooney and ....?"When I die, I hope to go to Accra"Comment

I never liked Costner much till I saw him in Yellowstone. He's holding that thing together with sheer presence. The one thing I would have loved to have seen him in would have been The Ghost And The Darkness. He was originally set to star in that in the Kilmer role straight from coming off Dances With Wolves. That movie would have been huge. I think Depardieu was supposed to be in the Douglas role? Anyway instead we got Kilmer who apparently made the set a nightmare and Douglas who turned the script upside down to suit himself. Such a shame as I think there was a great movie there with the original script and Costner. Instead we got what we got."Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right."

Missed opportunity, that.Originally posted by Dom D View Post
I always wanted to like him more than I did, and I guess I still do. It's true, YELLOWSTONE gave him a weighty gravitas that he doesn't have in his other roles. I chalk that up to Taylor's writing and characterization. Compared to his role in DANCES WITH WOLVES which is great in a completely different way, much lighter and more naturalistic."When I die, I hope to go to Accra"Comment

Costner was really good in BULL DURHAM, as a minor league baseball lifer (not quite talented enough to get to "The Show" or the majors). You don't really have to be a baseball fan to like that film, it's just as much a romance and also him teaching a young meathead how to act like a human being. I didn't care for FIELD OF DREAMS at all though. He was also good in JFK, whatever you think of the film, his performance is top notch. I've always found him likeable, and I'm glad he's had a bit of a late career rebirth with YELLOWSTONE. I haven't seen this new film but I was intrigued by the trailer and will probably give it a go at some point.I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.Comment

HIGHWAYMEN (2019)
Now this was much better. This felt like a real movie. Woody Harrelson was great as always and Kevin Costner was real good too. Woody Harrelson can make a whole career making stories about two cops driving around the south and I would be pretty happy. Nice handsome production all around."When I die, I hope to go to Accra"Comment

Animal House- would you believe I've never seen this? All of a sudden there's a hundred homages from Simpsons and other shows that make sense. What a great little film though. Landis directs the shit out of this keeping it all so fast and loose you barely notice it doesn't have a story. I wish I'd seen this when I was 10 and too young to understand it and then half a dozen times through my teens when I would have been the right age for it so that I could watch it now knowing every line. Feels like the sort of movie that should be enjoyed that way."Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right." Hyman Mandell.Comment
