He has a way of finding himself in some questionable situations.

I hope when his movie comes out he casts Putin as the 5' 4" little man syndrome lifted deisel pickup with stacks egotistical punk he is.

Given his history I'm actually a little surprised which side he took in this conflict.

He's worth 70 million, has two Academy Awards, and was married to Robin Wright (below). He has no need to put himself in harm's way. I am not a fan but I admire his courage.

well, there are a handful of aholes still kissing Putins behind

You know, you may be on to something given the way sanctions were eliminated, money started pouring into Putin's coffers from suddenly high energy prices, and according to the government the new threats of sanctions were never meant to deter Putin from invading Ukraine. I hear he's even developed a hankering for cheap overpriced artwork. That's what I hear anyways. Oh well, let's see how things look like in a month. Maybe Putin will have a change of heart.

I think it proves how much of a ā€œnon-movieā€ guy I am when I just googled his filmography and Iā€™ve only seen two of his movies.

For as good of an actor that he is, it seems like all his most well known roles were early in his career.

Why do you insist on adding your political nonsense into every conversation? Nobody cares. Take it elsewhere.

Thank you for your input, but I was responding to another poster. We both made observations on the situation. Whether you think so or not, the biggest event going on in the world right now didn't spring up overnight. You either observe and learn from the mistakes, or you repeat them. Maybe we should put you down for repeat, hopefully not in someplace like Taiwan.

Shouldnā€™t you be watching Tucker? Or isnā€™t that far enough right for you?

Itā€™s a football message board. Letā€™s keep it that way

Lighten up Francis. We discuss lots of non-football things on this board. Wait until you see grilling season.

Maybe so, but nobody else brings up politics more than you. Iā€™m guessing Iā€™m not the only one that gets tired of it.

I know you think politics is a high concern, but when history finally looks back at what happened from a distance what do you think they will see? Have you picked up on how Putin and China's language choices regarding Ukraine and Taiwan have begun to mirror each other? I'm not big on coincidences. It's easy to think these people are simply evil or stupid, but they are very calculating. They recognize weaknesses, moments, and then they act. The key is to minimize their opportunity. Ukraine is lost, Russia is once again directly across the border from Nato countries, or at least will be in a few days. Meanwhile Sean Penn is running around with a camera. It's such a surreal picture.

Lots of things are surreal.

They certainly are both calculating and evil.

He also directs so yes he had more famous movies early but a record of Carlitos Way, Mystic River and 21 Grams alone is a career for most people.

I forgot he's been directing. The guy definitely has talent.

If Trump had actually won in 2020, there might not be a NATO any more, and Putin might be going into Ukraine and Poland and Latvia, etc while Trump applauded. Putin wants to regain the glory days of the Soviet empire, and the weakness that he might see in the U.S. is shown by prominent members of one political party siding with the Russians invading a sovereign country. How's THAT for surreal?
Not sure how surreal it is, to answer your question, but can confirm itā€™s beyond laughable.

One way to look at it, I guess.

On the other hand, he's there and speaking up- and that's more than you or I are doing to help. Short of picking up a rifle and killing some Russians, there probably isn't a lot more a private citizen can do.

My comment was in direct response to another posterā€™s political perspective about the Ukraine crisis; nothing to do with Sean Penn. To the contrary, I applaud Sean Penn for being there; pretty damn courageous of him and obviously quite appreciated by the Ukraine people.

*Here come the Putin jokes* šŸ˜…

When Putin was late for school, the teacher punished the whole class for being early.

When Putin's phone rings in the theater, they pause the movie.

Doctor: "You have Cancer".
Putin: "Tell it, it has two weeks to live".

When Putin looks in the mirror, there's no reflection because there is only 1 Putin.

When Putin was born, he named his parents.

Russia didn't choose him, he chose Russia.

Putin Arriving at Foreign Country's Airport:
Customs Officer: "Occupation?"
Putin: "No, just visiting."

Putin calls 911 to ask what is their emergency.

Putin built the hospital in which he was born.

This guy never flushes the toilet, he just scares the **** out of it.

When Putin was born, he slapped the doctor for not crying.

When Putin didn't go to school, the school declared it a Holiday.

Stop calling him Russian James Bond. James Bond is British Vladimir Putin.

When Putin creates an account, the terms and conditions agree with him.

When Putin coughs, Covid wears a mask.
