2. SPOILER ALERT: In the movie 'The Killing', where he pulled off the heist of racetrack cash

I remember watching the movie thinking how Hayden purchased this piece of crap suitcase almost as an after-thought that "Hey, I'll need a heavy duty dependable sturdy suitcase to hold the weight and mass of cash I'm about to steal, I better get shopping". But no, his suitcase has "I'm old and you can tell I'm going to fuck up the whole end of this movie by popping open at the worst possible moment" written all over it.

Personally, if I was an actor, I would have approached Stanley Kubrick and asked for a rewrite so I wouldn't look like such a stupid schmuck for choosing that flimsy suitcase. But after further analysis, and applying today's MAGA thought processes to the script, I determined that Hayden's character must have been just portraying a stupid ahole republican all along.

That in itself is a remarkable feat for Hayden. an actual WWII combat Marine, to portray a racist sniveling draft dodging coward rapist pedophile thief POS.

Great actor.

RIP
