Pretty sure he was just god-awful in that. He really can't act, if memory serves me well. Sati, you might be depressed to know he's appearing in three films this year (Grown Ups 2, Lone Survivor and Final Girl -- at least according to his IMDb page)... *sighs* I'll probably end up seeing them because LS and FG sound great, but he's not good at all. I enjoyed The Hunger Games as a whole, though, but he's baaad. danielphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858411553598118579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-81900737984096543292013-02-21T16:25:40.857+01:002013-02-21T16:25:40.857+01:00Thank you!

Yeah they are scared of any unique and edgy films, this is why Les Mis, half of crap of a movie is getting attention - literally no matter how bad the movie turns out if it's 1) lavish 2) based on something famous 3) sprinkled with stars it's getting noticed by the Academy.

I think you and I are both huge fans of Killer Joe, and the fact that the Academy ignored everything about that movie is shameful (but not surprising). It has the NC-17 kiss of death stabbed to it...just like Shame. <br /><br />6. Funniest scene. "Every time Pat worked in Tommy being dead in a conversation in Silver Linings Playbook." I literally just laughed out loud...the animated gif of this cracks me up every time. Cooper really, really surprised me.

Richard Basehart was older than Peck i think in the '56 version lol ... not that he was bad but you need something of a late 20s (tho his age is never pinned down in the book) drifter, a bit fresh-faced and still open and wide-eyed to the world ... I can't think of anyone off-hand ... i'm getting old and just like my parents never could remember actor's names after 1965, i'm stuck somewhere in the '90s i think lol<br /><br />anyway just coasting thru your blog and i really like it ... it will be a regular stop for me i'm sure ... very good workAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490037520557175346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-30128761085919236572013-02-10T15:21:22.829+01:002013-02-10T15:21:22.829+01:00I love The Prestige too, it's my favorite movi...I love The Prestige too, it's my favorite movie from Nolan right after TDKR.
