HOW did you manage to get in this movie?!?!



I don'g get it.  How do some actors end up playing roles in certain movies.

You know what I am talking about.  Like when Owen Wilson shows up in Behind Enemy Lines as a pilot...

Sometimes these performances turn out ok and sometimes you just dont understand how an actor who was so good in a different movie could manage to be so bad in this one.

Im gonna make a list of what I mean:

John Cusak:  This guy might be the king of this genre for me.  I just dont get how he could be so brilliant in movies like High Fidelity and Say Anything but SO horrible in movies like Identity.  Seriously...that movie is BAD.

Owen Wilson: As mentioned before, this guy is similar but the opposite of John Cusak in that he has been the only redeeming part of MANY of the non-Wes Anderson movies that he has been in such as Behind Enemy Lines.  Seriously...how does your career survive being in movies like You Me and Dupree and The Big Bounce?  TERRIBLE!

Ashton Kutcher: this guy seems like a tool to me.  He is sorta funny, but only in a wierd jockish frat boy sort of way.  Just the way that I dont want him to be.  I know some people thought he was pretty funny in That 70's Show....but really....I was totally under the impression that he was just plain dumb....until I saw The Butterfly Effect.  I dunno...maybe it was just LOW expectations...but he did a really good job.  And that movie was moving...

There are a few more that I can think of...but those are the three I think I should get started with...

LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!
