Gladiator as a boxer.
Simple pitch, could be good. Testosterone fuelled Raging Bull Gladiator, I'll watch that and superimpose my head over him in my mind.
Except watching the trailer has put me off ever watching it.
Go watch it, go on.

No. Nononononononononono.
Gladiator weeping, Bridget Jones hugging him. "I won't always lose" weepweepweep "I can still fight" weepweephugweep with haunting piano music welling and surging in background.
"When America was on it's knees, he brought us to our feet" says the tagline.
*waves flag in jingoistic USA!USA!USA! style*
This reeks so badly of Oscar-wannabe it's embarassing.
But not as embarassing as watching Maximus cry a lot and Bridget Jones crying as well.
What has become of you? I'm starting to think that Gladiator was a one-off from psycho cop Bud White, he's actually a chubby version of Tom Hanks that likes to punch photographers and women.

I could watch this. But I'd rather stab myself in the forehead with a biro.

There's too many bloody boxing films.

Million Dollar Baby is another one.

A Batchelor Party to be precise! Cinderella Man sounds like it should be on a lifestyle channel, right after Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I still can't believe a programme with that title exists.

I did cringe a bit when I saw the trailer the other day. Ron Howard directing, well... Apollo 13 wasn't TOO patriotic, and he did Willow so it's all good.

Cinderella Man!!!! Why didn’t they just call it “Russel Crowe is a big tutu wearing pooftah who cries allot because he’s really just a wimpoid”

And yet again we’ve got a movie designed to make Americans hold their hand to their heart while sticking the Stars and Stripes firmly between their butt cheeks. “Just when the US was down, some guy who spends his living hitting people in face until they’re a bloody mass united an entire nation“. Gotta love that pointless violence.

Somebody that can be bothered, go look on IMDB at Crowe's films.
See which ones he's angry in, I bet those are the good ones.

Like Tom Hanks - when he was funny he was good, but when he overdosed on earnest pills he promptly vanished up his own ass. Crying at the oscars for chrissakes, somebody should point out he was in a film with a donkey that OD'd at a party.

Angry Aussie is good.
Dramatic Aussie is dull. And possibly gay.
