They're just actors. I don't understand why you're being so contentious and rude.

That said, I haven't the foggiest fucking clue who Anna Kendrick is.

That's what I meant by saying she should go back to doing theatre. There's nothing really to distinguish her from any number of actresses in film. She seems to have had a modicum of success in musical theatre, so perhaps she should stay there. Lot more work for a lot less money, though.

I'm not refuting my claim at all. He's not a good actor, but he's not really old enough to be a good actor, is all I was saying there. Bad actor until proven otherwise. At best he was serviceable in Thank You For Smoking. But by all means, keep defending these people. No skin off my nose.

They haven't gotten a role to prove what they can do so their bad. More often than not bad acting comes form a bad script or bad direction, not bad acting. Your essentially saying their bad actors because they haven't been in a film you liked.

Hey now, let's not knock Dakota. Sure, she did a pretty average job of depicting Cherie Currie, and she did sign up for Twilight (though who could play her for dipping her cute little fingers into that money pot?), but she's a damn fine actress, in my opinion. I mean, even in the Twilight movies she plays the part well, for what the character is. She's good.

I had to look him up, but decided he isn't worth the time to consider.

And i'm with Matt on Dakota. She has been amazing in several movies. Right now she is at that awkward stage of transitioning from child actor to adult actor. Give her a few more years and I bet she will be knocking our socks off again.

He isn't that good of an actor. He's good, great even, but thats way too much credit.

I just literally facepalmed myself! it hurt too!
i didn't even click the link, just the idea of that is so preposterous!Why not just go ahead and make it a wacky family comedy like they did with Gulliver's Travels a couple weeks back? I keep picturing the trailer for it like they did with that movie. They could get Zach Galafinakis to co-star!

Damn, you two just quoted my poorly-written sentence. But seriously, isn't 3-D supposed to be for films with action sequences. A middle-aged man staring at a green light isn't actiony enough, in my opinion, for 3-D.

Yeah, but The Contortionist's Handbook didn't have anything to do with midget mobsters either until Hollywood took it by the balls.

i was thinking about this some more last night and they could use the 3D stuff on this to really branch out and give a "3D Movie" more of a definition. really show the depth of all the lavish and glamourous parties and whatnot. Use it to try and make a movie an even more immersive experience.
But all that seems like too artsy-fartsy a concept for Hollywood to actually go through with. I'm guessing by the time it's get to the screen it'll be directed by Michael Bay and the big climax will be Gatsby exploding.

Kubrick could probably do something great with 3d like that. If he still lived.

I think Franco might knock these out of the park. Lord knows he has the work ethic. He's a bit of a weird kid though, which comes through in his acting. Has anyone seen his Three's Company drama yet? I think it was to be released by now.

I just found out I'm one degree of separation away from James Franco. My cousin's best friend, who I know, was in a movie with him call Howl. And they are gay lovers in the movie. His name is Aaron Tveit. He is an actor on Broadway in Next To Normal and his next project is playing the lead in Catch Me if You Can on the Broad Way.

All of my aunts and cousins thought this was gross, but in reality it is awesome:

I'm pretty sure this dude is gonna be super famous pretty soon, so look out for him.

Man, I love Ginsberg. And Franco did play him pretty well. But I hated all that animation in the film. Pissed me off.

If he's your cousin's best friend wouldn't that mean you're two degrees away from him?

MTV asked him about it and James Franco said: "I guess I must be gay!"

MTV was like "Oh my god, confession from James Franco." They took it seriously.
