Marky Mark isn't funny enough to make me think it's a comedy. Going too far on either side of that spectrum end up making it a poor man's Bad Boys, with kinda funny but mostly action Will Smith and mostly funny and kinda action Martin Lawrence. Seems like both leads have to kinda pitch in on both parts of "action comedy." Maybe it's just a bad script though. I think you're missing the intended humor of them being together in the first place. That movie is fucking hilarious. You gotta be able to see into the levels, man.
April 12, 20205 yr The chick in Barry. Just restarted it and she is so awful. Noho Hank on the other hand. Fucking brilliant.
February 9, 20214 yr Hit, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss (not pictured) Every other astronaut in this movie sucked and was as boring and cliche as possible.

February 10, 20214 yr Miss Classic example of Yankee producers overlooking the importance of a reasonable facsimile of a Texas accent in casting an uber-Texan character like LBJ. Gambon is a fucking tremendous physical actor but his accent was so horrible I had to bail about 2/3 through. (Path to War, HBO miniseries)
February 10, 20214 yr Yeah, I love that guy usually but he was miscast in that role. Bryan Cranston hit it out of the fucking ballpark though with "All the Way".......just amazing. Apparently the Johnson family was equally enamoured.

I was skeptical, but he did a great job.

April 26, 20214 yr One might argue that Pacino as Michael Corleone in Godfather 3 was a miss. Watched pieces of I and II this weekend. Hit indeed.
April 26, 20214 yr One might argue that Pacino as Michael Corleone in Godfather 3 was a miss.Did not know it was possible to misspell Sofia Coppola that badly.

April 27, 20214 yr Biggest hit ever for a batman villian: even better than Ledger as The Joker. Yes, I said it.
April 27, 20214 yr What? Everybody was nails in their role in that movie. Timothy Busfield? Guy goes from staring at his own boner jams to starring in "Thirtysomething" in just 2 years. Curtis Armstrong got "moonlighting" from this movie. Anthony Edwards got "ER". Robert Carradine still books top flight roles to this day. Not really sure whatever became of Lamar, Wormser, or Takashi but I'm sure it was something good.
April 27, 20214 yr Some of the photos have gone bye bye, but I don't think this one has been listed, and I expected it on the first page. You're a daisy if you do. That's a hit, BTW.
April 27, 20214 yr Miss:Jim Carrey was terribad in SOUE. The character was supposed to be evil, not his normal schtick/Lloyd persona.
April 27, 20214 yr IMO Major League was damn near perfectly casted. Yes some of the fringe parts were iffy, but the 10 or so biggest roles were spot on.

As was the writing. You telling me Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball? Nice catch Hayes. Don't ever fucking do it again. We shoulda got a live chicken.
April 27, 20214 yr Macy, McDormand, Buscemi, Stormare and Presnell. Grand slam, walk off, game winning homer of casting. Not another word, buddy. See how you like it.
April 27, 20214 yr Shelly Duval in the shining. I know she was supposed to be a battered, and broken woman, but her acting sucked such dog shit when opposite Jacks.

April 27, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, Superhero said: First one that came to mind. Miss: Everyone else who played Jack Ryan. Willem Defoe as John Clark. Both Harrison Ford and Alec Baldwin were great as Jack Ryan. The problem is that, after The Hunt for Red October and the first 3/4 of Patriot Games, the movies basically turned Jack Ryan into an action star, which completely misses the point of the character. The movie version of Clear and Present Danger was a fucking mess, including the casting of Willem Dafoe as John Clark. I love Dafoe, but that was just a terrible mis-cast. I remember thinking at the time that Tom Berringer would make a great Clark. But that whole movie was just a piece of shit compared with the book. I was so pissed a the time because that was my favorite Clancy book and I couldn't wait for the movie version. Both Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games had several changes from the book, which is understandable from a filmmaking standpoint, but they both captured the spirt of the books. Clear and Present Danger was almost totally different from about halfway through, and they also turned Clark into like some kind of gun-for-hire mercenary, which pissed me off.

April 27, 20214 yr Hit: Jessica Walter as Lucille Bluth. Aaron Eckhart as Nick Naylor. Miss: Matt Damon as Jason Boerne. Kevin Costner as Kevin Costner.
April 27, 20214 yr Wat. I thought Damon was awesome as Jason Bourne. But then I never read the books. How was he mis-cast? Was this like a Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher type thing?
April 27, 20214 yr Steven Seagal as Gino Felino in Out for Justice. Even the name is perfect. Don't all Italian names rhyme?
