Can you imagine how terrible the world would be if America didn't kill thousands of people by denying them medicine to keep the spreadsheet numbers high?

@jake4480@c.imI've enjoyed Michael Madsen in films ever since I first saw Reservoir Dogs, probably when I was 13 or 14, right after it came out. And then in Species, Sin City, Kill Bill- and the most recent Madsen thing I've seen, The Hateful Eight, from 10 years ago. And he was in 8 movies last year, and 4 still upcoming!
