Ros Does Not Know Anything

1:10:00 PM Mike Lewis: Indiana Jones in the unnecessary cash-in sequel.
1:10:12 PM Caffinenation: Shia LeBouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuf!
1:10:36 PM Mike Lewis: he makes me want to take a ride in the wood chipper
1:11:13 PM Caffinenation: I've kinda grown to think he's.. okay.. as an actor. He needs a decent director and framing.. but he works...
1:11:50 PM Mike Lewis: that is a godsdamned filthy lie
1:12:13 PM Caffinenation: man.. he's not bad in the recent golf-flick.. a period peice.
1:12:23 PM Mike Lewis: errr
1:12:24 PM Mike Lewis: what?
1:12:34 PM Caffinenation: He's kinda like Brendan Frasier.. capable of being good, but more often not.
1:12:43 PM Mike Lewis: what is wrong with you?
1:12:50 PM Caffinenation: but not really BAD, except in things taht are terrible all round.
1:13:07 PM Mike Lewis: you make my eyes bleed.

I'm going to go back and say that if you could explant LaBouf from the shitpile Transformers into a different movie? He'd be decent. Not good. Not with that crap script... but.. decent. For-the-paycheck, if you will.

Mike Lewis said...

They should let Brenden Fraser play Indy since he was so good in the Mummy. Of course, if Fraser were Indy, then it'd turn into a comedy, because Fraser is so funny.

He can do anything.

Oh man, what if he was digging somewhere in Encino, California and discovered a frozen caveman and brought him back to life, and Fraser played the caveman, too! Then Samwise Gamgee and the dude from Brother-In-Law could have wacky high-school hi-jinx but look out! LaBeef's mom will scold you for masturbating!

OH MOM!

I too have no problem with Shia LeBeouf. I actually like the kid. Disturbia wasn't bad. He did a great job in Constantine and Bobby also. As far as I'm concerned, he was the only bright spot in that awful go bots movie.

Roscoe said...

I'm told many things.

But seriously. The kid does too much with his face.. but he at least tries acting.

much like the Frasier... who's found a niche in doing self aware slightly goofy comedy that makes you groan.

but Frasier is great in indie things like Gods and Monsters. And he was fully acceptable in his Scrubs cameo run, the Kids in the Hall movie, Airheads.

Couple that with being able to play the self-aware idiot of the old Jay Wards cartoons - George of the Jungle, Dudley Do Right. Those movies were shit, but Fraiser nails the character in both cases.

I mean.. look at Adam's post.. he's not bitching about the actual acting.. he's bitching about how BAD the movies are. The directing and plot work, not the actor, in all of his cases.

LaBouf has gotten on my nerves, but looking back, he's not at fault, so much as the visible face of the problem.

Kylebrown said...

When Fraser wants to act he can act. i.e. School Ties, With Honors, Crash...

_J_ said...

Brendon Frasier wasn't in Crash.

Mike Lewis said...

Brendan Fraser was in Crash (2004) - he was lawyer

Crash is also one of the wrost examples of liberal guilt as film ever.

it was all - look at us tell a story about how racist people can be be, than something tragic can happen and we all learn a lession and be friends. People like to point to Matt Dillon's character's transsision. But you know what - it is a cops fucking job to save people, no matter who it is.

I checked IMDB!

Mike Lewis said...

he was lawyer indeed.

me talk good

God Damn You

Andrew said...

I dont think i will ever watch crash now.


you know a good movie? Lion in Winter. that was a good movie.
why can't there be more movies like that?

J, come to cincy and we can watch Lion in Winter.

Roscoe said...

I wanna watch Lion in Winter!

Lion in Winter is so good. And it has the requisit amount of homosexuality.

I went to go see two movies on campus because they were free.

The first was a Japanese movie called Hotel Hibiscus, and I think I understood what the movie was trying to say, but I don't know if I can forgive it for being so frustratingly slow and boring.

The other was Paris je t'aime, which was a series of short films all set in Paris, but having little else in common. I missed the beginning and end because Hotel Hibiscus ran long and I needed to get home, but what I saw (hour and a half maybe) was fantastic almost without exception.

Holy Crap...
As an aside, I just found out today that Brendan Fraser is a native hoosier.
