Every time you think this timeline can't get any more nonsensical and inane, it throws a "Steven Seagal is a gun runner for Russia" curve ball at you.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So why isn't he in the Trump cabinet?

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago

His ego didn't fit through the door.

Seagal's wikipedia page reads like he's in the running for biggest shitbag actor award.

Seagal’s wikipedia page reads like he’s in the running for biggest shitbag actor award.

Emphasis added for clarity.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 41 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Hey man, he sometimes stands up in his latest movies.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

SFX have gotten so good that you can barely hear the grunting.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wouldn't even have to use SFX to be convincing. Just dump a few hundred pounds of dog shit on a little trolley, put a stupid toupee on top, and wheel it around slowly on some rope. Nobody would tell the difference.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

I'm trying to imagine this, but my mind keeps showing me Steven Seagal...

[–] radix@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They really are good at painting out wire work in movies these days.

Have you seen him lately? He hasn’t run for anything in a long time. It’s actually funny if you watch his later movies, he’s mostly sitting down through the whole thing.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

What the hell happened to him? Wasn't he like a martial arts guy for real in the 80s?

He was never as great a martial artist as he thought he was (just ask Gene LeBell), but he at least used to be... you know... mobile.

He got old. And soft. And round.

How has this rancid bratwurst not ended up in the Trump administration by this point?

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

And give up his position in Putin's administration? No way.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

Eh, Putin's in charge of both anyway, so there's not much difference.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

He's too busy attending Putin's parades, which is something he literally does

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

He outranks trump already.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Maybe he doesn't like kids 🤷‍♀️

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Hey I'm going you need you to be more respectful of bratwursts here.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

The OG gravey seal.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

My first aikido masters were former students of Sensei Fat. They refused to speak of it. He must have been a real piece of work, even then.

The traitor and sack of shit should be on the frontlines.

Why can't we (as in civil society) drone bomb steven seagal?

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

Anyone got a link to that video where he's fighting and older, but all of his opponents are falling down with barely any effort? It wasn't a movie but a dojo setting from what I remember.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago (3 children)
[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No, the one I remember seeing he's all fat and bloated and stationary in a white gui. Opponents are running at him and he's barely doing anything, but the people running at him are obviously taking a fall. Maybe I imagined it all.

Why would Seagal need weapons?

[–] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago

To defend the VantaBlack he's spraying on his head

Imagine being such a shitty dictator that you have to hang out with the likes of 2020s Steve Seagal 😂

[–] joe_archer@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (6 children)

What the hell is going on with his hair?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago

It's fake as fuck and he decided to go for the lupin the third look.

Do we know the status of Steven Seagal's nuclear program?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I've heard he's weeks away from having a nuclear bomb.

[–] Zagam@piefed.social 20 points 4 days ago (9 children)

This is hands down the best thing Seagal has ever been in.

He is an expert in slap-fighting, sit-down style. "Everybody was slap-sit fighting".

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That has to be a wig... Right?
