[Black Shepherd Carnage]

The new Naked Gun is not good. Some decent moments in the script, but Neeson was just not the man for the job. And maybe there isn't a man for the job, but there's definitely dozens could have done it better than him.

Neeson was just not the man for the job. And maybe there isn't a man for the job...

Give it 20 years and Ryan Reynolds will give it a shot, I reckon.

[Carnage]

He should have had a go at Fletch after Van Wilder. That John Hamm film a couple of years ago wasn't the best.

I don't think I could watch him in it at all, he's  Michael Collins ffs

[Carnage]

Nah, Brendan Gleeson is Muchael Collins. The Treaty was mighty.

[Thorn]

Looked it up there, never even heard of it, well I can only go with what's etched in my memory

[Mooncat]

Reynolds is far too smug to be truly deadpan. He'd be a good actor to do a poor man's Chevy Chase if any of those films need remade.

I could see Daniel Craig or JK Simmons being good at it in terms of Leslie Nielsen-esque deadpan delivery.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I absolutely cannot stand Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Gosling would be a better fit once he's older. Nielsen was just perfect though. Neeson plays the whole thing straight (and not particularly well), but with Nielsen it was his manner of responding and reacting to the absurd world around him that made the performance.

I disagree, thought he was suited to the role. There are some great gags in it. I Laughed most of the way through it

[Born of Fire]

This is the pinnacle of Neeson doing deadpan:

[The Butcher]

This is the pinnacle of Neeson doing deadpan:

So good    Bet that was the sketch for Seth Macfarlane to copy/steal for Ted which in turn, cemented the thoughts of having Neeson in the top spot for a Naked Gun reboot.

Next 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple trailer is out. Due in January. Thought 28YL was ridiculous but I'll watch it.

[Born of Fire]

28 Years Later was a massive letdown but the trailer looks alright for the next installment

[Sworntothecans]

He should have had a go at Fletch after Van Wilder. That John Hamm film a couple of years ago wasn't the best.

Reynolds doing Fletch would only cement the fact he's thieved from Chevy Chase for most of his career.

Reynolds is meant to be fond of using super injunctions through the UK courts to keep how much of a prick he is out of the papers.

Would have liked to have seen the Kevin Smith Fletch movie that he was trying to get greenlit with Jason Lee years ago, as the script was meant to be super close to the books and didn't have much of Smith's usual schtick.

Didn't mind the recent Hamm version, decent wee 90 minute caper.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Going back to Birdman, today I learned (something that lots of you maybe already knew) that Michael Keaton's real name is... Michael Douglas. When asked about this in an interview once, he explained by saying "Yeah, I had to change my name because there were two other actors registered at Equity with that name. One of them is doing quite well from what I understand, the other is making cheap porn movies--like Basic Instinct."
