qwksndmonster Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I got bloodied? Hehehehehehehe. Daniel Day Lewis couldn't make that look good. I love Ewan McGregor's interviews from the prequels. The phrase "It's a nightmare." came up more than once. I thought McGregor was really good in the prequels, and Neeson was solid in the 1st. If anything with Jackson, I thought he was miscast more than bad.Liam Neeson is so good. He makes such brutally terrible writing sound almost passable. Like when he's the main character's dad in fallout 3: Dumbest. Guy. Ever. But it's Liam Neeson and he's telling me he loves me! I can live with this.

WildCard Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Nono, Qwk's argument was Hayden's acting was because of Lucas' directing. Lucas of course bears a larger share of the blame for the overall movies. Well having seen Hayden in Jumper, I can firmly say the guy sucks at acting. He played the exact same character in Jumper as he did in Star Wars. Sam Jackson can play one role and one role only. Casting him was just a terrible idea. I don't like Natalie Portman (as an actress, other than that she's a smoking hot genius), but I did like McGregor a lot. Neeson? Again, he can only play one role. He was okay, but not who I would have liked in that role. Still, the role itself sucked, so there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Taken days to now are not representative of his acting capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Love McGregor in almost all his roles but Star Wars is not near the top of the list. Obviously, Trainspotting is nuts. Anyone looking for a great movie. Check out Rogue Trader. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone looking for a great movie. Check out Rogue Trader. Unbelievable. I watched that movie for an intro to speculative markets class in college. If I remember right it was based on a true story and McGregor's character bankrupted the bank that financed the Louisiana Purchase. Another good stock type movie is Boiler Room. It has the creepy dancer/bear kidnapper from Ted as the main character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an intense guy who yells a lot. Lets cast him as a boring guy who never emotes. /LucasThoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your assessment of Sam Jackson but not with Natalie Portman (except the smoking hot genius part). What's not to love about her?

GoPre Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I thought McGregor was really good in the prequels, and Neeson was solid in the 1st. If anything with Jackson, I thought he was miscast more than bad. From what I heard Neeson signed for Episode 1 w/out even reading the script. Just wanted to be a part of Star Wars and felt it'd deliver much like the original trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm all for thread diversions, but, after a multi-day absence, this is sort of over the top. What's up with Fasching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked better last night after two games where he wasn't quite as good. I'm curious to see how he plays against NJ on the 5th and CBJ on the 8th. He'll be better rested for both of those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked good. He is definitely not afraid to shoot. He maybe could have used his teammate on one of those last night but at least he hits the net (mostly). Didn't look out of place at all and even drew a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
