"I never understood Kevin Costner hate"


  

          

He's not that greatest or anything but he has a nice list of undeniables that should have subjected him to less hate.

Dances
Revenge
No Way Out
Untouchables
Bull effing Durham
Tin Cup

That list allows me to overlook his performance in Robin Hood (I still can't believe he ran to cry on Morgan Freeman's shoulder when he saw his dead dad). I think that is the only thing he needs to apologize for. Anything he's put out this decade is just a paycheck although the serial killer jawn with Demi Moore was pretty cool.

I never hated Water World
And whenever the Post Man comes on (like 2 nights ago), I watch it.
