Connery played a Lithuanian. Not a Russian. If you listen to a Lithuanian speak Russian, it kind of works in hindsight. More convincing than a Ukrainian extra playing a Russian native.

Tobey Maguire in Spiderman.
I just can't stand his acting, he's more annoying than the kid in Terminator 2.
Also, he seems like much too much of a wuss for that part.

And that chick spidey is supposed to have the hots for? PUHLEASE.
 
Don't get me wrong, I'll catch Nick Cage movies when they hit HBO to see what new low he can sink to. Wickerman is a favorite simply because of the ending. "Ooh nooooes not the beeeeeez!!"

I think he's a bit of a nutcase IRL so it's fun to watch the train wreck. He bought a cemetery plot earlier this year in New Orleans that has a big pyramid tomb on it, not making it up.

That's when I started predicting he'll be dead in the next two years, will probably OD on something. I can't take anyone serious who says he's a good actor.
 
^ is this true?

that is fucking awesome. I have even more respect for Nick Cage, now. And I always thought he was awesome.

first: you should see the DC. awesome tit-tays.

another thing: Paris = little bitch. Bloom = little bitch.

I actually think he was PERFECT in Troy. (and completely horrible in KoH)



I was quite annoyed by that flick when I first saw it. Then watched the DC. quite different (a bit more epic, as it should be--meaning: too boring for the mouth-breathers, but *still* kinda stupid...)

The only one that rubs me the wrong way after some time is Brad Pitt. He totally phoned that one in. good casting, lazy performance.

the fuck?

dude deserves an Oscar just for hanging out with HST for a month in his ranch, locked in his room and hiding under his bed lest he take a few bullets during one of his late-night drunken rages.

true story...part of his research. lol.

Bill Murray was waaaaaay worse as HST. and I love Bill Murray.

he's like a born-again true believer in RL. ....that's about as close as it gets, no? ...and he could "kinda" pass for middle eastern right?

He doesn't look the part, he looks the hollywood ideal for the part. Jesus was supposedly short, dark with woolly hair with a scraggly beard. James is 6'2, not really dark and doesn't have anything close to woolly hair. In all honestly Sherman Hemsley fits the description that was in my Bible. George Jefferson would have made a much more bad ass Jesus IMHO.
