ITT: Embarrassing roles from established actors.
This is nowhere near his worst role.There are also good actors who are a magnet for really terrible roles. Alan Cummings is probably one of the biggest, so many awful awful films
>>223041328That role should've been played by my man Bill Sadler.
>>223041328>>223041381>>223041442>>223041625all good movies, get some taste
>>223041648you cannot be serious man
>>223041328I think everyone was embarrassed in that one.
>>223041328What was embarrassing about it?Also, Dreamcatcher was a good movie, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
>>223041625>2026>still being mad at Mort
>>223041710Almost the entirety of the rest of the cast were a bunch of literal whos with few roles at the time, not established actors.
>>223041625I'm still #madatmort
>>223041442Dunno why he bothered when the HBO movie with Armand Assante as Gotti is perfectly fine and exists for everyone to watch on YouTube
>>223041699I genuinely like Dreamcatcher and Mortdecai
He's done a hundred bad movies I feel like he doesn't turn anything down
>>223041625Choosing good old Mort instead of Walrus, which he only did as a favor to get his kid some acting experience.
>>223041868He's the same kind of old school classy as Christopher Lee. Won't turn down any roles, will give 100% even if he knows its shit, for know other reason than the love of the game. And to finance his extreme alcoholism and likely drug use.
>>223041328One of the earliest Uwe Boll movies. People were confused as to how he could get name actors in his movies despite not knowing how to direct. With people not realizing actors are whores that will do just about anything for a paycheck if they need the money.
>>223041328 Before Shawshank, did he ever have roles where was wasn't a wizened negro proffering sage advice left and right with his singular voice?
>>223041328dreamctacher is a good movie. never read the book. my dad got to take steven king on a tour of the quabbin reservoir (where the aliens invade) for a day when he was writing it because he was in charge of watershed management at the time, apparently he wrote the whole first draft by hand just for the fuck of it.
>>223041868I wonder how many nationalities Ben Kingsley has portrayed during his career
Does anyone have the now you see me chinese poster or whatever with morgan freeman floating in a sunken cage
>>223041937King was doped up on painkillers from being run over by a car when he wrote Dreamcatcher, he hates it lol
>>223041939>German>Indian>Persian>American>Jewish>Eastern European>BritishI'm sure he could probably do Asian too.
>>223041937>never read the bookI have. AMA.
>>223041937>my dad got to take steven king on a tour of the quabbin reservoir (where the aliens invade) for a day when he was writing it because he was in charge of watershed management at the timeNeat
>>223041955Don't forget he also played Mohammed Gandhi.
>>223041940
Dreamcatcher needs to be studied
>>223041948yeah the book wasnt well recieved, it was fucking huge from what i remember, but im saying the movie was ok
>>223041974thank you for making my morning
>>223041974>I ain't even mad
>>223041988are those eyebrows a reference?
>>223041955>Russian>Greek >Welsh >Spanish>Maori
>>223041955I'm honestly surprised he hasn't played italian or hispanic.
>>223041827>no replies
>>223042085>RAISE THE WOOFheh
>>223041868I liked Prince of Persia.
>>223042469Imagine trying to make a movie like this today. Amazing what we got away with not that long ago.
>>223041328That whole movie was just baffling. I get King was all kinds of fucked up due to recovering from his near fatal accident while writing the book, but what's the excuse of the people who adapted it? Were they also constantly high on painkillers?
>>223042497it was before the writers strike and 08 recession when hollywood was a healthy industry and could blow big budgets on weird projects like dreamcatcher
>>223042497The book made more sense
>>223042489It's wild how much things have changed. I was rewatching The Hangover and forgot how casually they use the word "faggot."
>>223042557>2009It was before Twitter gained social prominence. Almost all ills can trace itself back to tumblr and twitter (which is where all the tumblrites went). In 1995, a sub-section of society would complain about "faggot" being used in a movie. But they had no means of getting that message out, so they grumbled, and then moved on. In 2012, they could blast it on tiwtter, and other twitter addicted people jump on the outrage band-wagon, and then hashtags start. #Oscarssowhite was in 2015. #Metoo 2018. It's all connected. Each wave Twitter gains more power, and more power to dictate how society functions.no company will dare put something in a movie that would result in a twitter backlash. So they get a veto on everything. Everything.
>>223041328This movie is fuckin greatOne of my favorite comedies
>>223043085kek
>>223041328Does Morgan Freeman actually say "shit weasel" in his trademark voice in this one? It might be worth watching just for that alone.
>>223041932Wasn't he in the Electric Company?
>>223042469Mike Myers actually had some humility, this came out, everyone hated it, and he just disappeared
>>223043128shrek
>>223042557I remember major league sports making PSA ads during commercial breaks back in 2011-ish saying, bascially, that it was gay to say "gay". Imagine ESPN pushing gay shit.
>>223042777The worst part is they didn’t even try to actually use him and make him cool in the last film. They just killed him and his entire organization off in the most hilariously stupid and lazy way possible.
>>223041328>Embarrassing roles from established actors.Hello thehh.
>>223043877I couldn't fucking stand him in end of oak, it was just horribly written and acted.
>>223042592In retrospect, it's funny how Tumblr's NSFW ban and its consequences have lead to the near-certain collapse of civilization as we know it.
>>223043582Based Architect can do no wrong. Lawnmower Man's alright.
>>223043877GET
>>223041868>>223041889He has to pay alimony to 3 ex-wives. He's not turning down anything.
Simon Callow was a stage actor, then he gets raped by an ape in Ace Ventura 2
>>223043582wtf are you talking about, this movie is pure kino
>>223041420IDF kitty
>>223041328EZ reader was outta sight kids. https://youtu.be/NjEuZB2U8aQ
>>223041902this was made at the peak of boll's weird tax loophole thing. IIRC he had $60 million to shoot this.
>>223044203>Simon Callow was a stage actorSo a nobody in Hollywood.
>>223041328>he can't own and elevate a shit role in a shit flickThat's a mediocre "actor".
>>223041328Paul Dano Riddler
“Established actor” is some weasel word shit that allows for fucking tim allen, the deppgoblin and mike myers to be posted…lol. depp was in hell at the time (and continues to be) because he was a boytoy qt male lead who got gifted every good role in the ‘90s… and then became one of the ugliest alcies worldwide. a hideous little troll mired in controversy. what fucking good roles has he gotten since mort hahahahaha fucking idiots… if anything it’s an unusually major release for a guy who was on gerard depardieu levels of irrelevance. tim allen is a stand-up non-actor who hit hold with a roseanne type sitcom in the ‘90s. at no fucking point did he ever go above d level films. was never respected due to being a joke retard. mike myers had wayne’s world and the first two austin powers… back in the ‘90s. he then had crazy massive failure after failure. i married an axe murderer is an all-time dog. these fucking threads talk like DDL did cars 3 or something… it’s always losers doing loser roles. >>223041381if you want some real examples of top tier actors doing dumbass material to the point it’s surreal…https://youtu.be/SnS-71odYhksadler and goodman own that episode. the ones with ned beatty as goodman’s father are crazy too.
>>223044308>>223041902People overlook that Boll is an autistic savant when it comes to the film business (and I cannot stress the "business" part enough). He follows the industry extremely closely, and is very aware of the gaps actors have between projects, which is how he got the stacked cast for Dungeon Siege>see this famous actor has two weeks between films>offers 50k for five days of shooting, no preparation, flights and hotel costs covered>filming done very quickly, almost all first takes, no reshoots, ever>allegedly treats actors very well, loves to show off his gourmet tastes by taking celebs to fancy restaurants (he used to run a Michellin star restaurant)He also has two unarguably kino flicks (Postal and Rampage) which is more than the average Hollywood slime is able to produce in a lifetime.
>>223042138I'm not listening to you, you could be one of those things
>>223041714Dreamcatcher starts out amazing, then just takes a huge nosedive in to the shitter
>>223044491House of the Dead is shit kino and I'm not gonna pretend that it wasn't entertaining
>>223044387>hahaha>*realization*>aw, now I'm sadI hate Hollyweird.
>>223044640Way back when I watched Alone in the Dark because it was supposed to be the ''worst film ever made'' according to IMDBfags. I thought it was merely a humble 4/10, there was infinitely worse shit on daytime TV.Now, I'm kind of curious to rewatch it and see how it stacks up to the dogwater that Hollywood shits out these days.
>>223042248This is actually a good thing, nobody should watch this abomination. Dick-age's acting and character were especially awful.
>>223041648>>223044458I wasn't implying that Sadler did a dumb role, or even that the role itself in Dreamcatcher was bad, (Freeman didn't do it justice at all, sure). I was simply saying that Sadler should have played the role. I honestly think it would've elevated the rest of the movie thinking on it now.
>>223041785The fact this shit was directed by Gay Richy is amazing.
Anthony hopkins has a ton of them, although, to be honest, I respect serious actors who take silly roles. I'd rather that than pretentious pricks, like leonardo dicaprio, who can't even act that well.
>>223044998His role in Django was quite silly and self-aware.
>>223045038It wasn't transformers the last knight, silly, though.Leo is too vain to ever film ascene this kino
>>223043582never heard about thisit looks kino
>>223041785Am I the only one who thinks Will Smith is a good fit for Aladdins genie
>>223045697>never heard about thisyou have, several times. you just never noticed.
>>223041886He sold out and started doing contract work with Amazon to star in lots of dog shit movies. At least Marvel was a big pay check I guess.
>>223044458Why do you type like that?
>>223045756He's my favorite actor I wish he took the Reed Richards job instead of turning it down by intentionally highballing them.
>>223044458Holy reddit spacing. I usually bag on newfags that try to blend in by going over the top with their complaining about another posters reddit spacing but this is just completely out of hand. Cmon man get it together.
How has this not been posted yet?
>>223041937Problems with the movie are the dialogue and the self-seriousness of it. The dialogue is like something written in the 60s or 70s. The plot is dumb. Everyone complains about the shit weasels but that's probably the best part, IMO. What isn't horrifying about breathing in some spores and getting your rear ripped out? It makes much more sense than chestbursters. Nah, the dumb stuff is the ridley being so virulent and trying to infect earth for decades, yet they always seem to crash somewhere else. If they wanted to get into the water supply, it wouldn't be fucking hard at all to do.
>>223045705He actually elevated the snoozefest, I liked him in it
>>223045727>lawnmowermanno i dont think så...
>>223046454trust me, you have.
>>223043877Ewan clearly didn't feel embarrassed by it though, as he's now begging them to bring him back for more Obi-Wan
>>223046181Because its TRVE KINEAUX
>>223041420speak of the devil
>>223046517post the clip
>>223046495wtfthats him??thought maybe in my head that this was mystery of the druids related
>>223041868>The Cringe of Persia
True professionals Patrick Wilson and Halle Berry managing to keep straight faces through Moonfall, but slightly letting the mask slip off here >if only you knew how bad things really are
>>223043582That poster is pure kino
>>223041868Was it really that bad? I liked the action. Granted, i was drunk in the kinoplex, but still.
>>223046517>book series written by a feminist turbo-green leftist>Disnep one-ups all his liberal plot points in order to appear even more progressive and it backfires biglyGenuinely, the fuck were they thinking?
>>223046517She really doesn't care anymore and probably thinks the costumes and makeup are fun to wear
>>223041785Not nearly as embarrassing as shit like Hancock, After Earth, etc
>>223042085Why did they make this poster this way when in the movie, it's just a normal dog with Tim Allen voiceover? Also this a pretty par for the course Allen role.
>>223041420>such an abomination of a movie that it caused Taylor Swift to mostly stay away from acting work later, when she could have done much more of it
>>223043877I love him as Obi Wan but the warts are so distracting in ROTS, why didn't someone laser them off first?
>>223047153He laserd them off with his lightsaber when he morphed into Alec Guinness
>>223043582>the peepee poopoo man
>>223046181>the second-best Alan Cumming role they could think up was fucking Smurfs 2KEKAlso, didn't Connery do this for free simply because it was a landmark production for Scotland?
>>223047269I can't think of any other reason why he'd do it other than as some kind of favor
>>223046181don't be silli
>>223043582imagine my disappointment when I found out the book had fuck all to do with the movie.
>>223043877He and Palpy's actors were the only ones even trying. Ewan was often the best actor on set and they had him do bullshit sidequests for most of his screentime.
>>223044906To be fair it's been made painfully clear any and most modern Disney movies have a director attached to them but some exceptional level of quadruple filtering and "post processing" that removes most screenplay/directors' style/voiceFor instance I bet you a fucking Disney film directed by wes anderson would be the biggest revelation that this is true
>>223045705>>223046402It doesn't help that Disney quality control auto tunes the flaws and character out of most of its music
>>223047385But James Gunn's Disney movies have his distinct touch in them.
>>223047376Hayden seemed way more focused on the dueling than the acting. Which was fine. That backside lightsaber twirl is iconic
>>223047360>Stephen king>the book had fuck all to do with the movieName a more iconic duo
>>223047409That was to throw off the scentImagine having raimi direct that scarlet witch movie or whatever and somehow it manages to be midOne exception merely throws suspicion
>>223047476>Alot of cut scenes where hayden actually inflects and seems to be having funI imagine Lucas had too heavy a hand and had Anakin be all no no you actually have to be brooding and tormented so act more edgy and repressed
>>223047522Ehhh he's made stinkers before.
>>223043136Gesundheit!
>>223047554Anakin being all evil but shedding one tear is kino though
>>223041328>evil slips throughisn't the movie about the guy from Band of Homos giving birth to a shit baby alien in a cabin in the woods?
>>223041843"Liking" a movie and calling it "good" are two vastly different things.
>>223047607>we're making a baseball movie, call Kevin Costner
>>223047656To this day I have no idea what the fuck that movie was about.
UWAAAAGH
>>223047653Yeah but one fucking tear doesn't excuse 2 minutes of forced flat acting
>>223041937Not only is Dreamcatcher a bad film. It is one of the worst studio films ever made.
>>2230478482 movies*
Is Marky Mark a bad actor or is Shamalamadingdong just a bad director?>Inb4 both
>>223047924Both.
Any notable actor who has done a Superbowl commercial
>>223043582Hell yeah Cyboman
>>223045705Voice-wise, yeah
>>223047924With this I would put more blame on Shyamalan. There's behind the scenes footage of Wahlberg noticing that what the script is asking for makes no sense, and trying to challenge some of it. He wasn't just playing along for the paycheck
>>223043582Brosnan was only Remington Steele at this point.He had roles here and there but what made him huge was Bond, of course.
>>223041827Some movies are so bad they achieve pure kino status. This ain’t exactly an example but it’s close.
>>223041625What was the whole #madatmort campaign about? Johnny Depp being racist in public around that time or something?
>>223041868Damn Jake Gyllenhal looked like shit in this movie.
>>223048739it didn't exist, it was just /tv/ shitposting.
>>223044566I would go see this in a second if it wasn’t for fucking Ariana Grande in it, creepy.The meet the parents trilogy 1-3 is kino imo
>>223041785pretty good movie desu
>>223041974At first I thought it was Jonah Hill in the second casket but then I said to myself I said hey the winchs not breaking haha
>>223043582Quality b8 m8
>>223048266>hating on dunkakino
>>223041983anything brando did the last twenty years of his life, really
