If Michael Madsen doesn't scare you...what will?


You saw Kill Bill: Vols. I & II, right? That means you remember that creepy redneck bouncer Budd, who also doubled as a surprisingly resourceful hitman. He's the one who filled The Bride's chest full of rock salt and buried her alive. Have you seen Reservoir Dogs? Remember Mr. Blonde? The dude who cut that cop's ear off and covered him in gasoline, fully intent on setting him ablaze? That's the same guy who was the dad in Free Willy! We know, we know, who knew?

He's Michael Madsen, and dammit if he isn't one of the most threatening screen prescences of the past two decades. He creeps the shit out of us. But what's scariest about Michael Madsen? He may just be the only sane man left alive in this weirdo Hollywood society.

"I am kind of sick of the U.S. and I am kind of fed up with all that Hollywood bullshit and that celebrity witch hunt. Alec Balwin calling his daughter a little pig. And Paris Hilton is going to jail. And Mini-Me is in rehab. Anna Nicole drops dead in a hotel. What the fuck is going on? David Hasselhoff is all drunk, eating a cheeseburger."

Ballsy, Michael, ballsy. They just might run you out of town for that. We, however, applaud your honesty. Now get back to that whale you bastard!
