Isaacs is a good actor but its been ages since i really saw him into it. Im hoping he delivers in Dune....the last couple of movies i saw with him he is just there with a bored look in his face.

I've also never been a fan of the idea that someone can't play something or isn't right without seeing it. Get good actors. Let them do their job.
So there’s no role you’ve ever watched in which you feel the actor was wrong for the part or didn’t do a good job in that role?
Of course. But I had to see it first.

Everyone said Heath Ledger was wrong for The Joker. They just couldn't see him playing it. But then...
He was. I didn’t care for it at all.

Well, let me come from a different direction. I hated that movie’s portrayal of the Joker. I guess Ledger pulled off the vision Nolan had of the character, I just didn’t care for that vision.

I get that. I think people who are invested in the source material often have a harder time accepting or buying in to different interpretations of these established characters.

I think you’re right on the money on that point.

Star Wars, specially the last two, X men, Triple Frontier, Life Itself, Annihilation.

Im super exited about The Card Counter and Dune, and he is there, im actually expecting to see what he brought in Ex Machina, Mojave or A Most Violent Year.

I was mildly intrigued about this, and then I found out Benson & Moorhead were involved, and now I have to watch it

Some folks are just mad that they didn't cast someone Jewish.

Someone in that article wrote that Spider-man was jewish. It's been a long time since I read Spidey but I don't remember that being the case. Anyone else? Maybe it just didn't register with me because I don't care about religion.

Apparently because stereotypes ...
Spider-Man too, in his 1962 origin story, decides on respectability and assimilation. But his journey there is much more painful. Created by Lee and Steve Ditko, the child of first generation Slovakian immigrants, Peter Parker is (one more time) a nebbishy, scrawny, bespectacled, brainy Jewish/immigrant stereotype.

Parker fits Jewish and immigrant stereotypes in one other way — he is loathed. His classmates despise him. The reason for this dislike is never articulated. It seems to come out of nowhere — unless you read Peter as Jewish, or as an immigrant outsider. Then suddenly, the classmates unmotivated animosity resolves into prejudice.

Peter, for his part, despises his classmates as well. When he gets bitten by the radioactive spider and develops super-powers, he doesn’t want to help humanity, or fight for mainstream society. Instead, he uses his abilities to make money as a wrestler. When he has the chance to stop a robber, he refuses, on the very reasonable grounds that he has no interest in enforcing law and order in a society that has treated him like crap.

as far as source material for these movies i look at it more as scaffolding than the story itself. take bits and pieces from here and there, add this, mix with that and there ya go

movies like xmen and avengers the really big story lines involve years of subtle backstory that culminate into something larger. for example: dark phoenix, civil war

i havent read a ton of moon knight and just read the age of konshu in avengers. Ill be interested to see how this ties in with blade and the monster/supernatural side of marvel if it does at all

I just finished reading his first two series and all his appearances prior to those before Christmas. Still pretty fresh on my mind.
