Playing a bit of fantasy casting over the remake of The Bodyguard. Taylor Swift in the lead but couldn’t think of who would fill the Kevin Costner role.
I thought Riz Ahmed… but now I want him as James Bond.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.
How the hell on this Earth has Bats (1999) only got a 17/15 split on RT?
