Caliga couldn't stand Van Damme before the hipsters thought it was cool.

Yeah, but Hipsters think van Damme is cool.  So that doesn't really work.

Wasn't van Damme always considered the least of the muscely action stars?  The Simpsons has that great line about "the Schwarzennegers, the Stallones, and to a much lesser extent the van Dammes!"

They only think he is cool ironically.

In Van Damme's defense, after reading that he jackhammered Kylie Minogue during the shoot, my opinion of him has gone up a bit. :showoff:

I like how he said it would be abnormal NOT to have an affair with Kylie.

Well, yeah.  Look at his movies when compared to the others - sold a hell of a lot less tickets.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Van Damme was never the kind of action superstar that the Planet Hollywood guys were.  He was hanging around the second-string with guys Segal or Chuck Norris.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

That's pretty apt.  I thought he was great in "Cop Land"; without trying to be mean, he does dimwitted characters very well.

Well that is interesting.
Oh what could have been...imagine they had time to do it right- and this is pre-matrix, pre-CG everywhere days....

:yes:
That you would have to be a fool to not want to do it is true. But to actually be able to do it...nice.
Did she mean: I can't get Van Damme Out of My Head?

Hipsters can't do irony.

But JCVD was a pretty good movie.
