I knew it wouldn’t be included, but I wanted to see Reign of Fire in there. Now THAT is an underrated movie.

  Would’ve loved some reflection on that and the even more criminally overlooked Frailty—the directorial debut of the late, great Bill Paxton.

That’s really interesting when he talked about having more energy and needed less sleep because of how skinny he was for DBC. Christian Bale said something similar about being able to read for hours because of how much more awake his brain was when he did the machinist. That’s why skinny people are so wired. So much more blood flowing through the heart and brain.

Whoever edited this kept one of the audio tracks muted 😂😂😂 must be pretty easy to get an editing job at VF. To get through all rounds of review and not get flagged? Aren’t you a more publication? Let me know if you are hiring and need a final reviewer before videos are posted 😅

It’s not his greatest role. But he was a badass in Reign of Fire with Christian Bale.
