Monty Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yes Monty, it is when you're an actor, especially one that relies on his appearance fitting nicely under the caricature of awkward teen. Pretty sure he wouldn't have gotten 99% of his roles were it not for that See: John C. Reilly Jonah Hill Paul Giamatti Philip Seymour Hoffman Steve Buscemi Ron Perlman Brendan Gleeson Jack Black Jim Broadbant William H Macy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Cera reminds me of a less involved (i.e. no writing/directing) version of Woody Allen -- another actor who spent decades "playing the same role" (and therefore not worthy of CDC praise) Although I do have some doubts about whether or not Cera's self-awareness is actually genuine or not, I have no problem with it as a shtick. This idea that Cera is a bad or annoying actor because he plays the same role seems pretty shallow to me, because, well, most actors are guilty of that. Not liking him for playing the same character is one thing, but not liking him for playing one character that YOU can't identify with is entirely different. Good comparison - and I love Woody Allen. Most actors are chosen BECAUSE people immediately associate them with certain styles and personality traits. By putting Cera in a role similar to what he has done in the past (and excelled in), it expedites the time to familiarize you with the character, and allows the story to get moving right away. Woody Allen always being the same allowed his movies (and jokes) to take off right away, and gave his viewers a consistent rallying point. Cera may have no range. But the fact he has had SO much success in his career with his one style only proves that he is damn good at what he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Olympus Has Fallen - 6/10 - Decent action but I couldn't get over how much they care about the president's life when global politics are involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vav Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Fast and Furious 6 - 7.6/10 solid action movie but the only thing that bothered me was the airplane scene near the end. that runway had to be 100x longer than ron jeremy's d. and then that chick thats one of shaw's goons drives off the plane to chase paul walkers wife who is of no use to them whatsoever cause they already got the chip wtf was she doing. they also killed off the chinese guys gf for no reason at all then he says hes going back to tokyo why so they can make another crapty tokyo drift movie.

GLASSJAW Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Speaking of Woody Allen, just got home from Blue Jasmine. Excellent movie, and Cate Blanchett, that foxy, foxy woman, should definitely be considered for an Oscar, and Allen for direction. All that said, the movie is relentlessly negative and hard to watch, haha, but still an easy 8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a Fool Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Olympus Has Fallen - 6/10 - Decent action but I couldn't get over how much they care about the president's life when global politics are involved. The movie was probably sponsored by the military in some capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The Sitter: 5/10 - Pretty forgettable comedy Wow, totally forgot about that movie. I saw it close to a year ago. If you think it's forgettable now, just wait. I would probably give it a 2/10, simply because I remember seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
