What is nuts is that the guy is allowed to sue for like 10, 20 million dollars. Plaintiffs should have to have some reasonable basis for the amount they are asking for. The reality is that the guy should get maybe 5 grand plus attorneys fees.

People dont throw things at me ,hit me and then walk away.

He would have my ass to whip.

The problem is these fags have bodyguards to save their butts when they do stupid crap like this. Man on Man he wouldnt have done this in the first place.

He's on video.

Phonehead Concierge will be earning $20 million a piece for Crowe's next two pictures.

Can you hear me now?

I am proud to say that I haven't been to nor rented a Hollywood movie in the last six years.

Not something to brag about; you've missed a hell of a lot of great films, including several starring Russell Crowe.

I LOVE this man as an actor and I share some of his testy nature. Will he walk away from this? If he were a famous black actor or sports figure, yes. Maybe NY likes nailing rich famous white people. Especially foreigners. Remains to be seen.

Wish he hadn't done it, he is too amazing a talent to blow his career on something this dumb...

Crowe is a pompous, bullying a$$hole that thinks being an actor makes him a god. He has a history of picking on the small people and usually makes sure they are also physically smaller too (unless he has his bodyguard goons close at hand).

The amount of pain you have suffered is directly correlated to the amount of money the person who wronged you has in the bank.

If you're broke, feel free to smash the concierge in the head with the phone. What are they going to give him? Your shoes?

I like the way your use of language coincides with your tagline.

How do you add photos/files to your replys or posts?
I am on the "DUH" list of this bit of knowledge!

Exactly:

Two things

1.) Crowe took really unfair advantage or the situation and of the desk clerk, because as an employee, the guy could not do anything for himself while on company time.

2.) If Crowe had a body guard, why not send him to the all-night drug store around the corner to buy a phone card...put some coin into the pay phone and call home? Or else, God forbid...take his own ass around the corner and get the phone card for himself? Wouldn't you? Don't these people know how to take care of themselves or is the whole world 'at their service'?

I agree I was a bit coarse, but how to describe something vile without using vile words? I refuse to try to find some reason to call evil good or to pretend that good is evil. Crowe is a bit of gutter sludge that happens to be able to act. From what I understand, the Anti-Christ will also be adept at acting to seem like something he isn't. Some folks will swoon at his acting abilities and others will note the true nature...

The tagline stands as a Truth like none the world has ever seen.

Last I checked, Russel Crowe wasn't running for the post of AntiChrist. He's just an actor.

Your hyperbole does not do the cause of Christ any justice.

"I am proud to say that I haven't been to nor rented a Hollywood movie in the last six years."

You are right!!! It's called cultural dissidence. And, it works. It is like getting to vote twice...once at the polls and again by rejecting the Hollywood drivel and keeping your money in your pocket. I don't go to films and I don't feel like I am missing anything either. In their behavior, the Hollywood types have shown me what they think of me and by withholding my $$$ I get a chance to show them what I think of them. Fair enough. Until things change, I'll keep my money too.

First, I'm not the one who gushes with love over Crowe's abilities and express distress that some stupid little thing (like a vicious assault on some poor innocent) might hurt his stellar career.

Second, I never said he was in the running (not smart enough in my opinion - the anti-Christ will also be smart and cunning), but was explaining that being a good actor did not necessarily lend itself to being a useful or upstanding citizen of this planet.

Third, Christ doesn't need my help in being justified; it's the other way around. No mere human can ever do anything for God; we can only appreciate what He has done for us.

I hate to insult people, but I have to take the chance and ask if you might not be a closet Democrat? I only ask because of the way you take such obvious offense at someone not being willing to arbitrarily forgive a criminal act by one of your idols and then use such faulty logic in your retorts.

God Bless
