However Goodman seems to only be casted is supporting roles and Jeff Bridges jsut doesnt seem to get casted in anything very often. Johnny Knoxville has a lot of raw talent but it will be hard for people to stop thinking of him as the "Jackass" guy. EDIT: OK, I get it now.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Sure, after "Pearl Harbor" and "Bad Boys II" it's easy for people to knock Michael Bay now. Yet the movie studios are still handing him big budgets for new projects. So he must still be held in high regard by more than a few people. Then there's John Woo. I just don't get the whole fan following this guy has, especially among directors like Robert Rodriquez, Quentin Tarantino, etc. Woo is just no good at all in telling a story. He doesn't make movies. He only strings together a bunch of would-be cool looking images in action sequences. After the gawd-awful "Windtalkers" and "Paycheck" maybe some might start seeing the problems I've had with his shows for years. "Face/Off" was on HBO a week or so back. It didn't seem quite so bad the first time I saw it several years ago, but this repeat viewing was just damned painful to watch. I couldn't get through more than a few minutes without turning the channel.  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 01-06-2005 02:02 PM                     Michael Bay, Brad Pitt, DLP, Will Ferrell, SDDS, and Keira Knightly  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 01-06-2005 08:09 PM                        I think George Lucas is massively underrated. He used to be great in a role masterminding movies, bringing talents together, like an artistic executive producer, but these days it seems he has to earn his living by writing second class scripts and directing animation movies. Why is that?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-06-2005 08:11 PM                        Wrong thread, Michael. This is the overrated thread. Look before you leap.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

But that has to go into the other thread.  |  IP: Logged Pat Thompson Film Handler Posts: 20 From: Woodbridge , Va Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-07-2005 03:02 AM                    My vote for most overrated-Adam Sander he just play the same character over and over again  |  IP: Logged Nick Lingle Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Sioux City, IA, United States Registered: Jan 2005 posted 01-08-2005 11:34 AM                     most of the actors in Ocesan's 12... i'm not much for the whole "celebrity" thing... so really to me, they're all over rated...  |  IP: Logged
