Scarface and Taxi Driver are particularly good examples. I love Scarface because it doesn't show a flawed anti-hero, but because it shows a horrible human being that has to lye in the bed that he's made. Yep, he's charming and hilarious, but the same qualities that make him those things are what lead to the monster you end up with. Tony Montana is captivating and pathetic all at once.

I remember bringing up Scarface in a civics class about as an example of how people misconstrue the meanings of film and the professor commented how he didn't know why it was so popular a movie with young males because the only thing he took from that movie was that Tony wanted to gently caress his sister.

The one with Olivia Wilde sold me on the movie. Because rawr.

See, I don't understand the appeal of her. Maybe its because I'm gay, but to me she seems only be technically pretty. Add to that, she seems to really bring nothing to whatever roles I have seen her in.

I just don't understand why she is all of a sudden a big name.

Another gay dude chiming in: she's a total bombshell and I've liked her in everything she's in.

She's not a larger than life personality that makes her roles fascinating to watch, but she is a good actress even with poo poo material to work with.

Copy-paste this text for Emma Stone, Amanda Seyfried, Anne Hathaway, etc.

DrVenkman: Dec 28, 2005; I think he can hear you, Ray.

I don't get what 'technically pretty' means.

Plus she brings a lot more than what's on the page to her role in 'Tron' and 'Cowboys V Aliens'. She deserves better than what she gets.

I'm pretty sure she's openly bisexual - so she gets points from me just for that - and also her pretty eyes :3:

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that blurb is from someone who really didn't like either movie.

On that note:

There are palpable waves of sarcasm coming off that top quote.

It's probably his whole "slacker" image. If you look lazy, you get lazy roles from lazy producers.

But what do I know, I've only seen him in Idiocracy and those PC/Mac commercials.

I think she's freaking stunning.

My friend thinks she has a weird square head.

Olivia Wilde's looks are very polarizing

If she's got her hair pulled back I can see where he gets the head shape thing from. But that's just a nitpick, really...

Every bit of marketing for this movie makes it look so goddamn fun. Looking forward to it and hopefully they continue with the same style if they make more promotional materials. Stands out next to anything.

Also Justin Long was by far the best part of The Sasquatch Gang and he's awesome playing ridiculous over the top characters.

I'm straight and I'm with you. I think she's stiff as a board. I don't think she'd be working so much if it weren't for her unusual looks.

It was called this at some point, because the trailer got leaked before the Super Bowl and it had that title. Really disappointed it got changed.

I normally don't have the hugest crush on her, but something about putting her in Vegas magician garb just does it. This looks like a lot of fun.

The most

aspect of the whole F&F4/5/6 ridiculousness is that all of this takes place before the (now) rather mundane Tokyo Drift.

I'm sorry I posted that poster in the first place. I should have known it would lead to creepiness.

On topic, some new posters for GI Joe: Retaliation. I like the concept, but the execution is a bit lazy. They had, like, 9 months extra to do these, for god's sake.

I like this; for some reason, the fact that the groundhog is drawn fairly realistically, while Bill Murray's character is a grotesque cartoon, really works for me.
