                    <p>Although known for his movie roles, Kevin Costner is also a huge fan of mixed martial arts and has a strong opinion on where the sport should be in the future:</p>

“Is (MMA) a part of the Olympics? I think that should be,” Costner recently said. “I’ve just watched it the last 15 years. I think it’s one of the greatest sports out there – the drama that exists and the way they’ve controlled their sport.”

That may be a long shot. But the crossover from the Olympics to MMA definitely is there. It was on display this past Saturday in the UFC 197 co-main event when gold medal-winning wrestler Henry Cejudo tried to take the flyweight title from Demetrious Johnson.

The other thing Costner seems to love about MMA is that there’s no season to worry about. With his love of baseball, he admits he tends to wait till it really matters until he tunes in these days.

Damn didn't know Costner was an MMA fan. I only just realized last week that he's a pretty cool guy from watching him on a talk show. I always thought he was just another Hollywood poser. Now I have to like him even more!

It's not as bad as people say but the ending is really weird. Like litteraly you can feel they ran out of money and just pulled something out of their ass to have an ending.

Waterworld is great fun.
There is a professional fan edit called 'The Ulysses Cut' available on the net that edits together all the released versions (there were actually 4 or 5 variations with differing scenes and violence levels) into one long 3hr cut.
