Russell Crowe
Has anyone else heard of this new album Russell Crowe has out; his "solo debut"? I was rather surprised to hear he recorded at all, but he has (had, actually) a band, too. This CD (actually, it's only on iTunes at the moment), My Heart, My Hand was co-written almost entirely with Great Big Sea's Alan Doyle (I love GBS). I think, on the whole, it's fairly good, but I've been listening incessantly to the 30-sec sample of the song 'Mr. Harris'. It's like an old Irish drinking song, and I think, if it ever comes out on real CD (I don't have the capability to burn CDs), I will the buy the album just for this song.

Russel Crowe is one of my favourite actors...though I hear he's a nightmare to work with, even as an extra.

Russell Crowe...ugh. *shakes head in shame*
Okay, he's a great actor, but that's about all.

Well, you know what they say: "There is no such thing as bad publicity."

Okay, so he wasn't a popular subject- thought I'd bring him up one more time to post this link: 30 sec clips from Crowe
I love this music. It probably has more to do with Alan Doyle than Russell Crowe. ![]()

I think hes a great actor (with an anger mangement problem). Of the movies I've seen with him in it I think Gladiator was his best. But his music's not bad.

Cursing-ish? What's "cursing-ish?" I like him already. Russell Crowe is the bomb.

Hey, I knew he was in a band once but I had no idea he'd done anything recently. Now I wish my speakers worked.
![]() As an actor, he's excellent, esspecially in A Beautiful Mind. (He couldn't help being good in Gladiator because it was written so gloriously, but his acting in A Beautiful Mind was really convincing and impressive.) BTW, when Gladiator was in theatres, he promoted the movie on Conan O'Brien's show after a full day out drinking. Did anyone else happen to see that episode? ![]() That was probably the funniest Conan episode of all time. But I guess he isn't a good role model.

Well, would a good role-model throw a phone at a hotel clerk?
on when he'll have anything new check out www.imdb.com.

Name me a celebrity who would make a good role-model. It's basically one-half-dozen or the other in Hollywood, really.

No, I haven't, but I'll definitely check it out now. Is it on DVD or in theatres?

I think it's in between, now, although you might still find it in theaters. It's about a boxer in the Depression... stinkin' good film, IMHO.
