  2. Loving the double Ronan inclusions. Surprised that Rockwell is over Walken but to each his own haha.

    1. Ronan is quite simply undeniable.

      In regards to the Seven Psychopaths gents, I love both Rockwell and Walkens' performances equally, however, it took me a couple of rewatches to see how great Walken is in the film, whereas I've always loved Rockwell in each viewing.
