Probably because he's so mediocre. Maximum marketability. Nobody LOVES oatmeal, but most people will eat it.

I think chris pratt can be great when used correctly, but he's not what I'd call versatile and they keep casting him way out of his comfort zone

it seems like in the case of garfield they actually realized grumpy cat was not in his wheelhouse, but instead of using that knowledge to make a sane decision and cast someone else they just changed garfield into chris pratt

I don't like Pratt but the whole Garfield thing I think has more to do with animated movies in the US constantly having all star casts of A list actors who just do their normal voice. It started with a cameo or lead role or two, but by now every major part is some major actor and actually good voice actors are relegated to background characters.

I feel you man, I can rant for hours minutes about voice actors.

You kinda said how I feel already, I hate that star-name-recognition is now more important than quality voice actors who have versatile talent. Like I didn't hate the first Trolls movie but Justin Timberlake is somehow even more mediocre than Chris Pratt and he really dragged that movie down. But the weirdest "celebrity voice" I can think of is in The Mitchells vs the Machines, which is a very good movie that I like a lot. HOWEVER, the voice of the family dog was actually performed by an Instagram-famous dog. A dog did a voice-over job! Like was Frank Welker not available, or does EVERY VOICE IN A MOVIE INCLUDING THE ANIMALS THAT DON'T SPEAK HUMAN have to now be done by a famous movie star?

The real voice of Mario, Chris Martinet, is a fun and interesting guy. Like ten years ago his landlord died and he couldn't find another place in his price range so he spent five years living out of a suitcase and doing events.

I think it was a sign, if not a symptom of the Simpsons going downhill when non voice actor guest stars started being the main focus of the entire episodes. The Michael Jackson one worked because it was a B plot and the gag was he was a different guy with MJ's voice. It was definitely due to several other factors as well but having a member of the Simpson family performatively saying "Look! It's Blink 182!" and have them play one of their lame songs and make some lame throwaway joke didn't help.

Good voice actors are really great. Hearing them do their thing is so much fun.

While there's definitely a seedier side to it, voice actors being widely recognized in Japan for their voice acting is pretty cool imo. Using a bunch of different actors for the same characters even became a running gag in Pop Team Epic.

More or less. There’s a handful in earlier of celebs voicing themselves, but it’s usually in minor roles (Mark Hamill, Ringo Starr, etc.), but season 10 includes the one where Homer runs into Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, and Ron Howard, which is admittedly an episode I find funny, but marks the point where they’re a focus.

The aforementioned episode with Blink 182 is also the episode where Bart got emancipated, which was the episode promoted as their 300th during season 15 (It’s actually like 303, as the episode jokes). The show had already been sliding for a few seasons by that point, and from there on, it starts going really downhill. Season 16 has a few particularly awful episodes.

Speaking of crapitalism, I have a rough/dark/broken spot on a tooth that just revealed itself tonight. It looks pretty bad, like it will just break more any minute. I'm gonna try to schedule a dentist appointment tomorrow, but who knows how long that will take. And I just recently found out (through a rejected claim) that my company provided "health savings account" can't be used to reimburse me for dental expenses for some loving reason.

As I misguided youth I spent a fair amount of time during my middle school days listening to the laughably bad band KoRn and would it up if one of those songs came on the radio. Sometimes the radio edit of their sort of hit ADIDAS pops into my head. In it, they can't say the f word so either a Jonathan Davis who doesn't give a poo poo, or a not great impersonator of him replaces the word "fffuuuuuuucking!" In the chorus with this weird drawn out "hhhhhhhuuuuuuuumping!". It's really loving humping funny.

I feel sort of weird and off today. I'm tired but things went pretty smoothly, all things considered. I guess it's because last night I had this dream that I'd had this really bad day at work, and I came home really miserable. I don't really remember any specifics, just how it felt. When I woke up and realized that I still had that day ahead of me still it felt like I was repeating the day or something? Not really a bad feeling or anything necessarily just really off.
