So I’m sitting on the couch on a lazy Saturday afternoon watching the tee vee and The Saint is on; its not what you’d call the best movie in the world, but it’s got the distinction of being better than anything Nicholas Cage will ever be in.
So its playing away and I start wondering to myself – whatever happened to Val Kilmer?
It seemed at one time that Val’s career was sky rocketing – he played a Batman for God’s sake – a BATMAN! Of course that was before Batman Begins came along and we realized that the Batman franchise was actually worth taking seriously as a movie franchise – but even back then it meant something.
And um… he did Vanilla Sky I think… hmmm or maybe that was Tom Cruise… but really that’s my point. At one point you could say the name Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer in the same sentence… but not really anymore.
I imdb’d the guy to find out what he’s been up to, and he’s all over the place like stank, but its all bit roles.
Even Hugh Grant managed to live down the shame of being so stupid to get caught with a prostitute when he’s wife was Elizabeth Hurley, and he’s still making movies.
Val… any comment?
