Why is Shia LaBouef in every single movie?
Posts
he makes the holocaust look like a jewish kid in germany fell down and scraped his knee
He's so good though. He's a very realistic actor in his conversations, and his awkward/flustered scenes are dead-on. Don't hate him because you saw Juno.
Go watch Arrested Development, Superbad, Clark and Micheal, and Tim and Eric: Awesome Show.
Unless you just dislike his style of acting, in which case don't do those things.

Russell Crowe has the advantage of being an amazing actor. Wesley, I dunno, knows kung-fu or shit. Probably all, "Cast me, motherfucker, or I'll kung-fu your ass. You ever play roulette?"
Always bet on black, the people in vegas didn't find that line as funny as I did. I dunno I've just heard some actors are a pain in the ass to deal with yet still get work.
I wonder though if you could meet one actor who would you want to meet? Me personally would be Hugh Jackman, that guy looks like he'd be fun as hell to hang out with for a beer. Either him or Chow Yun Fat, the language barrier would be a bitch for Chow though.

Steve Martin. Or Harrison Ford. Maybe Scarlett Johannson, just because she seems [strike]fucking hot[/strike] really neat-o.
Got you beat with Kurt Russell who started in Disney films.

Yeah Ben Foster was fantastic in Yuma and really creepy in 30 days of Night.

This decade is different as we have an older all boys Brat Pack with Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
Yeah and most of those people in the 80's and 90's went on to shitty careers, other then Reeves and Depp, ryder and lewis are bit players at best, and only Anthony Micheal Hall partially has a career now. And christ Ferrell, Stiller, Vaughn, and Wilson, its like a suck parade.

He has done horrible movies ever since men at work and cries himself to sleep that Charlie Sheen is the more successful member of his family.

Eeewwwww, he is so not good-looking. He's a twink.
They should make a Duckman movie.

WHAT?!
Are you talking about the Duckman I think you're talking about?
You have the Apatow guys that he's been putting in things since Freaks and Geeks. Jason Segal, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Martin Starr, Jonah Hill, etc. And these days it seems like they're getting lead roles or at least small parts in several movies a year.
I don't know who any of those people are.
Then you probably haven't watched a good comedy in the last 3 or 4 years.
Watch Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, and then rent 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad.
All of it. It was painful. to the point of making me miss on Batman begins and the Prestige for a looooong time.
ps. I am serious when I ask if I missed the point. WHAT WAS THE POINT.
It's a story about a guy losing his mind. It's told from his point of view. If it was told from the point of view of say, a cop following him around, would it have enough "point" for you? The point being negative or pessimistic does not mean "there is no point"
It's a striking film/book about the culture we created for ourselves in the 80s. It's also about the danger of stereotypes and class assumptions.
I host a podcast about movies.
It's painful. Shia LaBouef has all the fun qualities of a wet carrot when he's on screen. I'm really hating how he's getting so much time. It's turning me off to films when I see he's in the cast. I don't want to see him, he's just a meat-puppet that takes up room on the screen because someone has to do it. Why blow big bucks on someone with acting skills when you can just throw him in yet another role?
This seems unneccesary and honestly is demeaning to the filmmaker. All films have "a point". Some are in your face about it (think Do The Right Thing) and others are extremely subtle (think The Big Lebowski or essentially any other Coen flick).
Why did you just bemoan someone for trying to understand "the point" and then explain "the point"?
It was awesome.
No, I didn't just bemoan someone trying to understand the point.
I bemoan people, routinely, who can't get "the point" when it's simply bleak. A negative point about the direction of society does not equate to "no point"
Fight club, No Country, American Psycho, they're often derided as having "no point" because they don't end in sunshine.
Why is it "demeaning to the filmmaker" for me to point out people walked out of the film not understanding it?
I host a podcast about movies.
Then hop onto IMDB and don't just feign ignorance. The Apatow 'crew' is a great example of what LB was asking for.
Filmmakers are conveying something. You bashing on someone for asking what the point is = demeaning to the filmmaker.
We're really off course of the topic now, which should be forming the Shia LaDouche anti-fanclub.
I'm glad they didn't get it. I'm glad the flim wasn't made acceptable for them. I'm happy with the film.
How did I DEMEAN the film maker by pointing out people didn't get the film?
Explain.
I host a podcast about movies.
Either way, that shia kid I hear he's going to be in films that nerds will get heartburn over, better up my mylanta stock.

book may be deeper, but the humor is just as black.
