Escape from New York (Remake)

[Hunter Rider]

Really? You keep saying Josh Holloway though.

Yeah b/c he is ideal and fits the role perfectly but oh you don't like him...........

I don't like actors who suck at acting, hence why I don't like Holloway.
His resemblence to K-Fed doesn't help him any either.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Just because they have the body, does not mean they are right for the character.

hmm, if that's the case...do you think Gerard Butler is justified casting? after all, he got hired exactly for that reason.

But he's a good actor so whats your point ?.......oh wait we are playing the "my opinion is t3h factz" are we ?

Where does it say he was hired for his body? I don't wanna look for it.

Nah, not trying to say my opinions are the facts. Just the obvious lack of his talent.

So you are saying your opinions are facts, glad we are clear about that so i can discount them

 

[ANTOINE X]

keep Kirsten Dunst away from this movie please.

Kirsten Dunst? Adrienne Barbeau's rack deserves to be put into the Smithsonian. You can't compare her to Dunst.

Keep her the **** away from this movie.



ok Maybe I m missing something what exactly is wrong with her? She did good in spider man? The only reason I would remove her is because she s expensive $$$

 

[Midnhtsun]

I'm gonna say the same thing I say in the Catwoman thread when people suggest ****ty choices.
Just because they have the body, does not mean they are right for the character.
Now keep this K-Fed looking ass out of this damn movie.
Thank you.

I really love how people comment on how ****ty an actor is when they haven't even seen their work. Blindly dismissing them because they think they look like some crappy kfed is just ignorance. He's got a strong acting ability and put effort into his craft.

I love how people think I think an actor is ****ty without knowing the actor's work.

It's more than his resemblence to K-Fed, thank you very much.
He's easily one of the worst things on Lost.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Along with Kate, Hurley and Ben he is the best thing on the show.

Yea dude really what are you talking about he is one of the most popular characters on Lost, even the creators made mention that they wouldnt want to kill him off because he is one of the most popular characters on the show.

You are trying to pawn your opinion off as fact, if thats not your intention then you need to re think your wording cause there is a whole hell of a lot of people that think he is better.

oh and by the way he won 1 award and was nominated for 3 others, crappy actors don't just get nominated for no reason. All 4 were for his acting.

Gerard Butler is 2 noms 2 wins, and only 2 were for his acting.

[DorkyFresh]

Where does it say he was hired for his body? I don't wanna look for it.

well, it's not exactly like he got hired because he has a beer gut...


...in case you haven't seen 300, his gleaming rippling abs are in 90% of the film as well as 100% of the marketing. the whole look of 300 is realized on screen by Gerard Butler's abs.

Popularity means nothing when it comes to quality of the acting.

Of course there is.

Ah yes, the "award argument" how I love these.

Sounds sexy.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I never mentioned popularity, i was talking about who were the best characters on the show, i.e the best acted and most interesting.

 

[Majik1387]

^I'll give you most interesting. And apologize for generalizing you with the popularity thing.

 

[Hunter Rider]

^^ It's all just opinion at the end of the day and anyway Butler has the role so that is that, hopefully we will get a start date and some more casting soon.

 

[Majik1387]

Yeah, I still don't know how or why Holloway got into the convo.

Anyway, I've seen Escape from L.A. but I either haven't or don't remember Escape from New York

Yea its all in fun. Either way Butler will make an interesting Plisken.

But yea Majik you make a point, ill change it though a bit. Paris Hilton is popular but she doesn't have any talent.

I was reading people badmouthing Holloway, and really he plays his role very well on lost. He has potential given the opportunity for a leading role in a movie. Not saying you Majik but many people like to bad mouth him without even seeing his work and that just doesnt make sense.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ Paris Hilton is popular for sucking, shopping, being drunk, going to jail, and being useless. Gerard is popular for his performance in 300.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Yeah, I still don't know how or why Holloway got into the convo.

Because he has long hair and stubble. LOL That's about it. I think being built like a woman crossed him off my list before the movie was mentioned. I'm sure he's a nice guy and can act but Snake Plisskin is a badass not a Vanity Fair model.

So snake is a badass, the role of the character that Holloway plays is a badass. Advanced you really should do some research before speaking....

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ My eyes are fine. Yeah Holloway is toned...but barely. It's like he's never exercized in his life. You see how Gerard sized up which is one of the many reasons why they chose HIM. You don't think Gerard will train just as hard but differently for this film. Just like Ray Stevenson is training 5-6 hours per day for Punisher. It's a given for these films if you want to look the part. Holloway just doesn't have the frame to build on. He's soft. If you cut off Holloway's head he looks fine of course but the rest sort of matters. LOL

 

[Penismightier]

You know, Kurt Russell isn't exactly Mr. Universe, and he wasn't in 1981. And with his performance, I didn't hear anyone complaining about his physique.

Once again look at the pics of Kurt Russel he was never ripped or buff as plisken, he probably didnt even do anything out of the ordinary for the role. So I dont understand your argument about why the new plisken has to be? The role calls for someone that can act as a tough, loner, badass, that cares only for himself and no one else. I can think of a character called sawyer on Lost and Holloway just happens to play him.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ This isn't Kurt Russell. I want a new Snake Plisskin not someone trying to copy Kurt and Kurt had and still has a bigger frame than Holloway. Kurt looked good because of his build without bodybuilding.
