Lobok posted:I don't actually like his acting all that much either but I think it would totally fit for a character who we know is a child pretending to be an adult. A hero who says the right heroic things but it sounds like a put-on somehow. You'd still be better off with a good actor if you want that to come across.

Lurdiak wouldn't know a good actor if one punched him in the face and despite all the letters I've sent the Rock still hasn't done it.

I thought Dave Bautista would be terrible and he was terrible in everything else I had seen him in... but then he turned around and was the best thing ever in Guardians.

I knew Batista had potential to be a great actor basically the first time I saw him in an interview.

I hope you get shot in the face in slow motion by Karl Urban.

I will always pull for my wrestling guys. I knew Batista had the potential, he just needed the right shot. It was funny to go from hating him in 2014 to thinking he was the best part of Guardians.

WWE Wrestlers being entertaining actors shouldn't be surprising as that's their job. Now, more of the focus is on being physical and putting on a good show in the ring, but guys that can't put on a convincing character outside the ring simply get forgotten along the way. It's acting, but it's more circus than movie set. It's a different set of skills. It's not Shakespeare, it's General Hospital with body slams and finishing moves.

Article about The Fandom freaking out about rumors and speculation in moviesquote:There are also endless rumors based on early-stage reactions to some of these films during actual later stages of development and filming -- be it reactions by executives or producers to the concepts, or low-level assistants reacting to their own preferences for casting. We hear rumors and reports about supposed "studio" reactions to dailies or early screenings, with some sources insisting "the film is bad, it's a mess, everyone hates it," or "the film is great, everyone loves it, there's nothing wrong." These claims compete against one another, but typically it's the negative assertions of reactions that get the most attention and to which fans react the most strongly. He focuses on the fan side of things but the entertainment journalism industry absolutely feeds this problem and I wouldn't be surprised to learn there are entire teams of studio employees who wargame rumors and strategize leaks. Not to mention competing factions within a film trying to use backlash to shape a movie closer to their vision than the other producers/director/editor/execs/whoever.

While definitely older I don't think he's gotten fat. He looked fine when he was guesting on Sleepy Hollow.

Waiting for something on Syfy Channel to start and the Priest movie is on. Now that's a terrible adaptation. Literally the only thing it has in common with the original Korean comic is that it has vampires in it. In the movie the main character is part of this kung fu warrior group that is quasi-religious and call themselves "Priests" but in the comic the main character was literally a priest.

Yeah, there was an interview with the original comic artist and he said he liked the visuals and the fact they set it in the future of the world he created, but he really wished they had kept some of the philosophy he was trying to explain.

Jane Got a Gun is bad. Warrior is really, really, really good. I saw the movie with my brother and it hit real close to home. Definitely recommend that one if you're want to get a feel for his writing/directing.

All this time I've been under the impression that Priest was an Underworld spin-off. I have no clue where I even got that idea from.
