Watchmen

Pia is not looking forward to the film remake of Watchmen.
The guy directing it is the same lame-o, Zack Snyder, behind 300 (never watched it, and never will) and Dawn Of The Dead. Can it get any worse?
Oh, yes! it's not enought to perhaps ruin the all time iconic graphic novel by letting a dumbass directing it, but one of the writers, David Hayter, wrote the X-Men, the sequel AND The Scorpion King! I can't belive it!


The cast is a chapter for itself. Only a guy that would cast Gerard Butler as a spartan warrior is capable of miscasting actors this... bad. For starters; how can Billy Crudup play Dr. Manhattan!?! And it get's worse if I have to watch "The Heartbrake Kid's Malin Akerman as Laurie Juspeczyk and this looser Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the one and only Comedian himself.
I'm getting used to the idea of Patrick Wilson as Dan Dreiberg, with the image of a little belly action. I hope they're not trying to make the new Nite Owl fit and in shape, he's supposed to squeese the old suite on. I guess Matthew Goode will make an ok Ozymandias, don't really know, don't really care...
The one arrangement I'm happy with is the casting of Jackie EarleHaley as Rorschach. I have no idea what this man may do, but I'm sure I'll love it.

It's all I think about at nights... Should I take the chance of watching it and perhaps ruin my perception of the book for all time; or do I got the courage to see it through?

What The Fuck?

We loved Ben Stiller in Zoolander and The Royal Tenenbaums, but he is directing/writing a new movie about "a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie who are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying". Can be interesting, but probably not since Tom Cruise AND Jack Black are starring too.. but the poster is pretty nice

Typecasting

We discussed how alot of actors get these typical typecastes, like somehow every role is the very same. Unfortunate (as we like to think of it) actors/actresses like these are:

Judy Dench - Her usual typecast is the powerbitch or the very equal portraited powerdyke.










Tim Roth - Mr. Roth is an extremely versitile actor, but especially in America he usually gets the part of the bad guy.














Hugh Grant - Especially after the hooker-sex-blowjob-scandal he often plays the sleazy, but lonely british guy.














John Malkovich - For some people it may be hard to see how this guy's not versitile, but again, in America he often plays the mean guy (or the artsy gayish guy).














And of course Bill Murray - The decadent casanova who seeks real love, himself, or simply the funny casanova guy.














And needless to say, actors like Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and Sandra Bullock, but we're not aiming that low.
