Very well, to pose a physical challenge, Dinklage will hop into a Sentinel and drive it like an Iron Man suit or Mecha. Dinkinel vs the X-Men.

God drat, Devour just suddenly came out of nowhere to make endless awful posts in movie threads this week. Of course Dinklage has a commanding presence, holy crumbs!

I find it hard to believe anybody who's actually watched an episode of GoT thinks Dinklage doesn't have a commanding screen presence.

Plus Gary Oldman has been exclusively terrible lately so that's a bad suggestion.

Devour posted:Bolivar Trask wasn't a midget in the comics was he? He sounds like an interesting character in the same vain as William Stryker. I would've liked to have seen someone like Gary Oldman perhaps play him, not some dwarf.  Oldman is great, but Peter Dinklage is far from just "some dwarf" - he's probably one of the most talented actors working right now. I have serious, serious doubts about Days of the Future Past, but he's one of the reasons I may give it a shot.

Devour posted:The point I was making is that I would have preferred someone with a commanding screen presence to assume the role. Dinklage just doesn't have that, in villainous roles or especially when competing with the likes of Mckellen & Stewart on screen. Given this, the eventual confrontation with Dinklage's character onscreen with said actors will probably fall flat, in terms of tension. We'll see how it turns out, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Roger Ebert posted:The bar contains a fair number of people so witless and cruel that they must point and laugh, as if Finbar has somehow chosen his height in order to invite their moronic behavior. Finally he climbs up on a table and shouts, "Here I am! Take a look!" And that is the moment you realize there is no good reason why Peter Dinklage could not play Braveheart.

Jesus Christ. I make an offhand comment about a fictional dwarf and I get probated over in BSS. Here we have a page long conversation about how Peter loving Dinklage can't possibly have any screen presence and it's all hunky dory, no big deal.

If he weren't desperately trolling or begging for a probation, I'd have bought him a Dinklage avatar by now.

Hell, he rocked it on 30 Rock, and that's just one episode in a network comedy show. (albeit, really, one of the good ones) Even the people who don't like GoT have to admit he's good, right? Though the upside is this thread is now prompting me to watch The Station Agent, because Dinklage is easily the man.

If Dinklage is 'some dwarf', Oldman is just some dude. You don't have to be tall or hulking to command a scene. Jesus christ, do you just nod along sternly when people demean his stature in GoT? "Some dwarf." That says it all.

I don't give a poo poo about how tall Dinklage is or why it's an issue at all when the REAL topic should be the bitching 'stache he's rocking for the movie. I mean,  drat. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jul 31, 2013 |

He can have cocks for hands it won't matter when the Sentinels gently caress everything up. Hilarious twist to this thread though.

Sorry guys, it's plain to see that a dude of short stature making 5 story tall humanoid killer robots has no dramatic potential whatsoever. Why couldn't Triple H, Chris Benoit or John Cena play this part?

I believe Stan only cameos in movies for characters he created (or co-created). Of course, his best 'cameo' is playable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9vVCyF4tTo

I'm pretty sure it's just his availability and how much effort whoever is making the film is willing to put in. Since he didn't cameo in First Class or either of the Wolverine movies, I doubt he's going to be in the new X-Men, but who knows.
