This attitude tends to prevent her from forming an unbiased opinion on his acting abilities...somewhat.

I definitely find him self indulgent as well. I really believe that he means well with all the stuff he's been trying to do in New Orleans... but omg, it is the essence of self indulgence - doing what HE wants, not necessarily what would be best for anyone.
Sorry, thread hijack off. Back to Ryan Reynolds!
Wapitikev Wrote:In the Movie Cast threads, many people speculate that Jack would perhaps best be played by an unknown.Yeah, I have thought off and on that the right unknown could be great for the role - kind of ever since Ed Norton got too old. :p But I can see the side of the producers as well... the whole point of the movie is to make money, so maybe they can't get away with an unknown. You can cast an unknown as Superman and people will still go to see the movie. That might not be the case with RJ, as unfortunate as that is.
Apparently that's not what the producers have in mind if they are looking for box office appeal, of any kind.

I want the first movie to do gonzo box office...how else will we see a majority of the books made into sequels.
The Subway Saviour scene will be a violent work of cinematic art.
Heh.

Wapitikev Wrote:A small segue from Reynolds...word is that Chris Nolan is withholding his commitment on Batman Begins 3 until he gets a script that he likes...and he's currently filming Inception.Yup. And someone like Chris Nolan would probably make casting an unknown okay as well. Possibly. Maybe.
Wouldn't it be freaking amazing if he helmed Repairman Jack Begins?
Now THAT would have box office appeal!
