Dreaming Big

For whatever reason, this chick rubs me the wrong way, but I still admit she’s a good actor. However, I don’t know how convincing she can be playing a stoner. And for that matter, I don’t know how much respect she’ll garner by doing so. It has to be a pretty damn good story, as well as great chemistry with whoever her partner will be (please, no Anna Faris), in order for her to successfully pull this off.

I was done with Pirates 5 minutes into Dead Man’s Chest, so naturally hearing they might beat on a dead horse for a fourth time made me cringe. But this changes everything. Ian McShane is a perfect villain, and who better than him to bring some charisma to Blackbeard?

Icing on the cake is the fact that neither Orlando Bloom nor Keira Knightley will be in this. The moping and their “I love you but the Kraken/Johnny Depp/Davy Jones’ Locker is keeping us apart” crap story was so pathetic, thank God it will never be revisited (let’s hope).

If this is so, I CANNOT wait to see The Raven!

This is slightly surprising (or maybe not, because it was expertly marketed), but what does it say that more people went to see a horror/thriller than keep a rom-com like Valentine’s Day at no. 1?

Personally, I’m on board.

Though I too appreciate his honesty (and handsomeness), I can’t get over how unappealing he comes off and his lack of charisma. Sigh. I really do wish he’d get better at it.

I agree with her arguments, but I do think she misses out on a few (i.e., Matt Damon) and dwells on some that will just never cut it (Taylor Lautner and, I’m afraid to admit this, Sam Worthington).
