nobody mentioned, but Chris pratt, originally he was being casted in EVERYTHING. after parks and recs he has no range, hes just a sad moody pos irl too, supporting a alt-right church, and his sudden switch to evangelicalism. anne farris in an interview said he changed to a gymbo the moment he got buff for marvel/JP movies.

The past participle of "cast" is "cast".

I scrolled through the entire thread down and back up, it's a bit of a shock that John Wayne was not mentioned even once... until now.

I think that’s because he’s essentially irrelevant in pop culture these days

[–] thlibos@thelemmy.club 11 points 2 days ago

Samuel L. Jackson is the first name to pop into my head upon reading the thread title.

Ryan Reynolds. There were some other movies but once he was in Deadpool, I feel like his whole personality was sarcastic mean funny guy

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He was him even back in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place.

He did a weird indie film called "The Nines" he can turn the chops on when he wants to. I find it hard to criticise those people because "Hey, want to earn millions of dollars doing this the easy way? Or you can go do some passion projects to prove a point and make less." Is a damn awkward spot to be in.

Im sure we all like to think we would take the route of Sandler doing Uncut Gems, I love to think that was him just telling his haters to go fuck themselves. "Just because I dont, doesnt mean I cant"

For the most part, Jason Momoa

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

that is true, he was the same person in SGA atlantis, in aquaman(atlantis), dune, and GOT. he was more entertaining when he started out in SGA.

Isn’t that intentional though?

He specifically requests to be a bad guy and to lose in the end because of his experience with crime and prison in his youth and wanting to be an example of crime not winning.

Sean Connery is not an actor, he's a movie star.

Yesh, I am a British shecret agent. Bond, Jamesh Bond.

Yesh, I am a Shoviet Shubmarine captain. my name is Ramiush. Marco Ramiush.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Jamesh Bond sounds like a bollywood version. Would watch

This is one of the few that's correct but also completely fine, IMO.

Fining out Joe Pesci plays Joe Pesci in real life because he was originally a tough guy, not the usual NY Juliard alumni, made his movies pretty annoying for me. Highlight: him hosting SNL and threatening to smack Sinead O'Connor for her anti-pope statement made that obvious

Sucks that it's too late to stop quoting My Cousin Vinny
