Auction of Steve McQueen Memorabilia

Damn...tear my heart out and stomp it bloody!!! Wish I had few mil to toss around on this stuff--$2.9 Million raised yesterday in the auction. I'll shoot the next clown who tells me that Daniel Craig is the new Steve McQueen. There'll only be one. Check out Papillion and my all time fav, The Sand Pebbles, and tell me this guy wasn't a better actor than any of these so called stars we've got today. Lesser known dudes like Christian Bale and Jeffrey Wright or somebody like Matt Damon, and the old masters like DeNiro, might come close...

Anonymous said...: Christian Bale...Uh, hmm?! You must still be riding the high of American Psycho or Batman Begins. I guess I should be happy you didn't slip and say Ben Affleck. I mean I could have gone for Russell Crowe, but not too sure about Bale. He needs more than an action pic and a cult film for me.; 3:14 PM
