I don’t know what it is, but something about Sam Worthington just makes him like… the most boring person to watch a movie about. Some kind of complete lack of charisma, sort of like they posed out a department store mannequin and drew some sort of expression on it’s face with a magic marker, then got everybody in the scene to act around it. He’s got that “well, I guess he’s good looking because there isn’t anything wrong with him?” look about him, like a Ken doll or Ben Affleck. I guess it’s a good thing they always cast him as the main character in his movies, because otherwise he would be completely invisible.
Also, I still haven’t forgiven him for ruining the last Terminator movie.
On a completely unrelated note, a friend of mine recently told me that she is going to write a fanfiction about Xanatos and Thailog from the Disney Gargoyles series.
So I decided to make fun of her.
It was funnier in my head, I think. Ryker isn’t much of a punchline.
It’s okay, they can fix his total lack of personality in post.
The majesty of After Effects, wonders never cease.
Wow, someone who has the same feelings I have for Sam Worthington! Yeah, he’s too vanilla for me. Saw him in T4; hated the movie. Shuddered when I heard the news that he was playing Perseus. Uuuuugh, when will this guy go away?!
T4 started out… not terrible. Like, I was ready to give it a fun no-brainer popcorn flick stamp of approval but just… ugh. The movie completely fumbled the ball, and from Helena Bonham Carter as Skynet onwards the it was all just a sharp decline to the finish with OPEN HEART SURGERY ON THE BATTLEFIELD! PERFECT MATCH I GUESS? I mean… I know it’s the future but I’m going to assume humanity hasn’t made many advances in the field of medicinal care with the whole war on robots thing going on.
I was also waiting the whole time for John Connor to realize that it’s his fault humanity is in these dire straits. As soon as he started on his WE HAVE TO FUCK OVER EVERYONE TO PROTECT MY FUTURE FATHER OR I’LL NEVER BE BORN tirade he was going to realize that if he was never born the robots would never send back the Terminator to kill Sarah and Skynet would never get the arm at all. I guess I had high hopes all around for the movie even though I knew it wasn’t going to play out that way. The first two movies just set up so much good material for them to work with that got completely thrown out the window.
Haha, I love the Xanatos/Thailog comic. Sadly, it’s one of many things that I find completely hilarious, but noone else I know would understand unless I explained it to them.
I understand, take comfort in that.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TRACE THIS.
Oh god, the expression on the third panel just killed me.
For a minute there, I thought you were talking about Sam Waterston. I couldn’t help but think “…How is Jack McCoy a mannequin? I always thought he was a very good actor…”
