The Cinematic Motion Picture News Thread

Yeah, the castings all off. It's a bummer. I really hate that shit. She was good in it, though.

[VinylGuy]

I loved both The Town and Gone Baby Gone. I didnt cared much for Argo, but i wish he would cast a different leading actor.

[BurtReynolds]

Actors can only play themselves, guys. Only their own, very specific backgrounds are acceptable. Because they are actors. You know, people who DON'T portray other characters. Playing a character from a background the actors themselves are not a part of is a terrible, unforgivable offense. The new protectors of our sensitivities cannot allow that.

Ban the theater. It is witchcraft.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Change the flimsy euphemism "backgrounds" for what you really mean -- races -- and I am on board

I liked Argo when I first watched it except for the cheap contrivances for tension during the climax. I liked The Town quite a bit

Hispanic isn't even a race. If he can't play a hispanic, he can't play a Russian, an astronaut, a talking animal in a Disney movie or virtually anything other than a white Masshole.

But come to think of it, playing white massholes is the only thing he's really good at, so maybe I'm on board to.

My only beef is with Korea Duvall

[BurtReynolds]

When Ben Affleck portrays Martin Luther King, Jr in a movie, only then will black people be truly free.

[BurtReynolds]

Now that I think of it, that movie also had Clea Duvall as an asian lady

I had to look her up on Google, but damn is she hot.

[Jorge]

It is very unusual for an illustrator to have an Asian fetish

[BurtReynolds]

Argo was sort of Ok. Had its good moments and bad.

He really does play a great jerk: Mallrats, Boiler Room, etc.

Anyone can play Batman. It's not that hard.

The Town and Gone Baby Gone are both great.

He's not really leading man material. At all. He's really bad at it.

[Jorge]

This thread is really going to fuck up Asher's vanity searches

Don't even get me started. My inability to marry an asian has done irreparable damage to my career. I swear to god it's like a requirement or something. ALL concept artists are Asian or married to an Asian.

The Town is pretty good. Reminded me of Heat, and a few Clint Eastwood movies. The cast was good too.

That was my biggest problem with it as well. The climax was pretty lame.

[LoathedVermin72]

1. Ben Affleck's performance in Boiler Room is one of the worst things I've ever seen in a movie.

2. The Town might be even worse than Argo.

The Wolf of Wall Street was fun. It was other things too. But definitely fun.
