Pain & Gain
Haven't actually seen it but that doesn't stop me from declaring it one of the best films of next year, even if it's bad.

Re: Pain & Gain
It's good to see Duane Johnson attempting to extend his range as an actor with these new roles...
Re: Pain & Gain
Yes,he might become one of the great character actors of our age! Shakespeare on stage next!

He probably cries himself to sleep at night, for "selling himself out," and taking these terrible, fortune producing roles, instead of holding out for the roles that would reveal his dedication to the true art and craft of acting.

True...after years of mastering the subtleties of the "Peoples Elbow", the "Peoples Eyebrow", and his restrained yet evocative use of the pejorative gibroni were all high art. It's a sad to see him sell out for money.Cayenne wrote:He probably cries himself to sleep at night, for "selling himself out," and taking these terrible, fortune producing roles, instead of holding out for the roles that would reveal his dedication to the true art and craft of acting.
BD's link is well worth following. It's a totally fascinating story.

Re: Pain & Gain
Casting that movie would have been so easy.
"Dwayne, we have a role as a steroided up football/bodybuilder type who gets a half dozen one liners."
"Hey, Mark, you been working out?"
Hadn't seen the link BD posted when I started this - the story makes it even more interesting.

Re: Pain & Gain
OK, that's a long read. Like a novella. And there are no heros. So it's interesting to see how they're going to make a movie without a hero. A comic/crime drama. It will be "based" on a real story.Cayenne wrote:Tim, see the "Michael Bey is a piece of shit," thread in the main FS forum. Your welcome.seeahill wrote:OK, where's BD's link. Thank you.

Re: Pain & Gain
warning to all...It's a great big long article. Would have made a brilliant film, everyone is dirty.
