Actors that should'nt of made it.......but did!

by ONETWOFOREVER Mon 29 Jul 2013, 10:50 am

First topic message reminder :

Can't understand the hype around Keano Reeves. Wooden actor no acting skills worthy of any note yet he has made big money in films like the Matrix.

Ruins any film he has ever appeared in.

Hugh Jackman is another. I don't get excited by his movies at all.

Brad Pitt nothing special

Jackman is excellent in "The Prestige" and "The Fountain".

Good actor he may or may not be, the man is a clown. A rude, arrogant clown who deserves to have his testicles stapled to his forehead. And I speak from experience. Not of having my testicles stapled to my forehead but of the aforementioned Mr Jackman.

The Prestige is a brilliant film though.

by TopHat24/7 Fri 16 Aug 2013, 11:53 am

You met him then Tino?

Always seemed like a nice genuine bloke to me.

Feel sorry for him being labelled as gay all the time just because he's been with his, non-Hollywood, wife for more than 5 mins and used to be in musicals.

Haha. I've never met the bloke, so couldn't comment.

"The Prestige" is brilliant. Seen it 3 times now and it's gets better each time.

Have you seen "The Fountain"? Aronofsky is not everyone's cup of tea, I think he's great, and The Fountain does polarise opinion, but I absolutely loved it (the beautifully amazingly talented Rachel Weisz's performance had a lot to do with it) even the though the ending was a little bit overwhelming.

I haven't seen it mate but I will stick it on the list. I have heard of it but not seen it so on your recommendation I will give it a go.

Rachel Weisz is great. Her and Daniel Craig recently bought a house in the village next door to us, true story. It was the most exciting thing to happen round here since one of the farmers got arrested for growing cannabis in his barn. Haven't seen the famous couple yet. I was hoping to pop round and borrow a cup of sugar and then go though Rachel Wiesz's underwear drawer if I got the chance.

If it the house I think it is, he doesn't have neighbours. Unless you include acres of land as a neighbour. It ain't a small place, I can assure you of that! Gives me lots of places to hide though whilst I try and get into her underwear drawer.

Tino is probably secretly a dotcom millionaire. Living in Villas with Wlad, Bond as his neighbour. Like they say in rap music. Mate you are big pimping now. Expect you tell us about the Abromovich accidentally docking his yacht where yours should be

He's actually a hedge fund magnate....

Can I just clear something up here.

Wladimir Klitschko owns a property on the same urbanisation as me. It is streets away and he is definitely not my next door neighbour. And his place is massive, mine isn't.

As for the Bond family, they bought somewhere in the next village. The next bloody village, not next door to me.

Here is the story.

The name is Bond:

Mike Selig wrote:I always thought Keanu Reeves was perfectly cast in the Matrix. But Jonathon Harker, perhaps less so... I thought he was good in A Scanner Darkly, possibly because it was made into animation after shooting...

Keane Reeves was also perfectly cast in the Bill and Ted films. Essentially, if the role involves playing a moron or a wooden board, Keanu's your man. If it involves playing a three-dimensional character, he's liable to drown. That said, I can see why the guy has a career. He may not be the best actor, but he's a handsome man. Nicholas Cage, on the other hand, can't act, is weird looking, and I'm fairly certain would never have had a career as an actor were his surname not Coppola. Nepotism at its finest.

I'd also nominate Steven Seagal. Squinting isn't acting. While it's true that no action star can act, at least with some of the others you can see how their career got started. Stallone wrote Rocky and insisted on starring, Schwarzenegger drove interest because of his background. Seagal though? Can anyone explain that?

by TopHat24/7 Mon 19 Aug 2013, 11:10 am

Wow, never knew Cage was part of the Coppola clan!!

Seagal doesn't realy solely on squinting, he's got a ponytail as well.

I believe that Segal was the first non Asian to get to a certain level in Japan (like a 10th level black belt dan or something).

I believe, unlike Van Damme et all, that he is the real deal (or was)

The Japanese had to invent a new colour belt for Wingrove.

The rumour with Seagal is he used to teach a big time Hollywood producer some sort of martial arts and the producer decided to make him into a film star solely to prove he could make any nobody into a star. Not sure if this is true or not but would go some way to explain Steven’s almost staggering inability to act.

I heard something similar, but I heard he slept with Martin Scorsese, nothing to do with martial arts.

Could be wrong though. It came from some guy called Alan who catches the train with my cousin Benedict.

by TopHat24/7 Mon 19 Aug 2013, 11:42 am

A 7th-dan black belt in Aikido, Seagal began his adult life as an Aikido instructor in Japan.[3] He became the first foreigner to operate an Aikido dojo in Japan

In 1987, Seagal began work on his first film, Above the Law (titled Nico in Europe), with director Andrew Davis and reportedly as a favor to a former aikido student, the agent Michael Ovitz.[14] Ovitz took Seagal to Warner Brothers to put on an aikido demonstration and the executives were impressed by him and offered him several scripts; Seagal turned them down but agreed to write what would become Above the Law.

The thing with Seagal, is that he isnt even adept at a showy martial art. His films comprise of a middle-aged guy with a ponytail touching men in the mid-riff before flicking them into walls.

Oh yeah! He changed his name so that people wouldn't think he was a beneficiary of nepotism. Of course, if that was his objective, he should have learned to act.

It's houses now. Modern with no garden, which puts them at odds with everything else in the area. Must have been pulled down 17 or 18 years ago at least.
