Re: Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood
It's a more brilliant choice if you cast someone like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. See? Think about Leo in that role instead of Travolta.BurtReynolds wrote:Assuming anyone does a good enough job, it's a brilliant choice.tree_ wrote:Assuming he does a good enough job, it's a brilliant choice.BurtReynolds wrote:What paper?

Re: Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood
Travolta always played the cool guy. You're assuming a lot with Perry and whatever mythical movie you have in mind. Stunt casting is unnecessary. Wait, why am I having this convo?

Re: Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood
It's meta because Luke Perry or someone like him is ACTUALLY a washed up actor. It works on multiple levels. Get some washed up actor who can perform well in the role instead of boring old Leo. Why does anyone ever have any conversations? That's for you to decide.BurtReynolds wrote:Travolta always played the cool guy.

Nah. Just get Leo because he's a good actor and really good in this.

He's OK but I'm tired of him. Tarantino should have done what he does best and casted someone outta the woodwork.

Re: Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood
I'm not saying it would've been cool to see someone like, but especially Luke Perry in that role because it subverts expectations... it just makes more sense and would've been so cool... especially for a Tarantino movie like thistragabigzanda wrote:I’m gonna let someone from the Blink-182 message board explain my thoughts because no one will ever see it coming!tree_ wrote:I don't know why you would say that or what it has to do with anything.tragabigzanda wrote:Tree you should divorce your wife and start a black family just for the meta domestic surprise of it all.

Yeah but see, that's impossible.

I loved the movie but just saying it would've been neat to see Luke Perry in that role for good reasons. Brad Pitt was perfect.BurtReynolds wrote:"QT didn't make the movie I imagined in my head starring Luke Perry and Matt LeBlanc so I'm gonna have to dock him a few points."

Nah brad Pitt is too big of a star to play an aging stunt man. Should have hired Tom Arnold.tree_ wrote:I loved the movie but just saying it would've been neat to see Luke Perry in that role for good reasons.
