I haven't seen Safe House, I need to, but he was really really good in Smokin Aces. That was outside of his normal role and he had the dramatic last scene. I think he can do it, he just needs to quit accepting jank ass roles. [Reply]
Safe House was really good, I thought. He didn't have to carry the movie himself because Denzel was also in it but he did a great job. He was flexing his drama muscles in that one. [Reply]
The fat suit, Anna Faris, his brother naked with Anna Faris and the oil, the skating, the braces, blowing up the Christmas display, the mom being from Airplane - I can't remember laughing harder.
You can take the dork out of the small town but you can't take the small town out of the dork.
I loved it, especially Anna. She was the perfect narcissistic pop star. [Reply]

It reflects on him a bit as well, no? Maybe he's not being offered blockbusters because studios aren't approaching him. Or maybe he's turning them down..?
I have no clue how he could have read the script for RIPD and decided to sign on for that shitshow. I seriously watched that for 6 minutes and turned it off. [Reply]

I actually like the guy; loved him in Smokin' Aces and thought he was the only reason to watch Blade Trinity. But he just keeps falling on his face.
Deadpool is right in his wheelhouse. If it sucks, he's probably shot as an A Lister.
You have to at least admire he's the one that fought for getting this made. It was D-E-A-D as possible in Hollywood to getting made. He rounded up writers to draft a great spec treatment, worked with design guys to fabricate the look and props specially made, and shot a high end teaser video he put online to gain viral attention. Then used his social media accounts to post cool related picks for the Deadpool project he wanted to make to bring more attention to it hoping fans would push for it to be made.
Eventually they noticed, and somehow the studio gave it the green light. This movie never even happens if he didn't do some serious heavy lifting and collaborating with great talent in presenting their vision of the character for a movie.
Everything I've seen from the clips available looks like for the degree of horrible that Green Lantern was, this will be to the same degree but good. [Reply]
