Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe: Les Bromances

!!! I probably wasn’t in any real danger, bear attacks in this area are very rare… but a few summers ago I was alone on a run in the mountains very early in the morning and saw:

Russell Crowe in 3:10 to Yuma

:D sure, not sure what to sure as i don't really consider myself the most interesting of people, but i almost died on a amusement park ride once when I was 16. it was one of those tower swings :

OH BOY thank you so much for this opportunity

so like maybe you have seen Tropic Thunder, maybe you haven't.

Rob Slolom and Les Grossman are these fuckers

in this movie about the making of a movie, they're the antagonists producers, very evil, willing-to-let-an-actor-die-so-they-can-claim-the-insurance-later evil.

many people remember Les, the guy on the right. because he's played by Tom Cruise and is so foul-mouthed and bad tempered and looks like That that people don't realize it's him until the credits, where they reveal it like this

the other is Rob, the guy on the right, played by the then 29-year-old Bill Hader. no one remembers him. the few Bill fans that do remember him don't really care about him beyond that he's played by Bill

and like. in a movie that's a satire about the state of hollywood that still holds up well now, filled with tropes and gags and over-the-top characters, these two could have very easily been the one-note Evil Producer Who Treats Everyone Like Shit and Their Lackey That Kisses Their Ass Out Of Fear villains

except that they're not

in the about 15 minutes of combined screen time they have together, somehow Rob is the only person that Les treats differently. he never gives Rob a direct command, he never yells at Rob, he asks Rob for his opinion on things, he GIVES ROB A GENUINE COMPLIMENT.

and on the other end, Rob's loyalty to Les feels so unwaveringly sincere, like he truly admires Les, would do anything for Les, and falls in sync with Les without with ever having to tell him to do so.

now, am i reading into this too much? maybe. am i going insane from brainrot? most likely. but i've been obsessing over them since January 2021 bc @threeoaksy got me into them and i'm not about to stop.

in any case i Love Them.
