Just saw Jumper. Why does this guy have a career?

1. Did you see the Star Wars movies?
If so, why the fuck would you watch anything else with him in it?

9. and Sam Jackson was wooden and lifeless
repeat: Sam Jackson - wooden, lifeless.

Fair to give the actors benefit of the doubt in those movies.

The only decent performance in that mess was Ewan McGregor's, and even there, I am convinced that the extent of the direction of his performance was "go watch The Ladykillers about 48 times."

15. Ian McDiarmid was pretty good...
The Scots seemed to work with the crappy screenplays better than the Americans, for some reason.

5. His acting makes me think of...
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 04:38 PM by Kutjara
...a high school kid who has a part in the school play, but is really embarrassed because all his friends in the audience are laughing at him.

He's not so much self-conscious as paranoid.

6. No kidding. In Episode 3, I was cheering for the lava.
He's :puke: and not even good looking enough to explain getting roles with less than no talent.

7. If this rumor that he's already cast as Case in Neuromancer holds up...

14. I wish I hadn't read that.
The idea that this fuckwit has anything to do with the movie of one of my favorite books is sufficient to make me homicidal. I wouldn't let him serve the coffee on the set, in case his suckage is contagious.

8. "Why does this guy have a career?"
"I want to spray Reddi-Whip all over him and lick it off."
