Is Michael Cera the Ben Afleck of the 2010s?

Nutt · 07-26-2010, 07:47 PM

He'll take any movie offered to him? Scott Pilgrim vs. The World looks too fuckin cheesey, that it makes Dude, Where's My Car? look like it should be nominated for an Academy Award

TDChrisDavis · 07-26-2010, 07:48 PM

Two Fs

No, for a lot of reasons and he has no comparable matt damon equivalent friend.

Trotts_Vols · 07-26-2010, 07:52 PM

Bad analogy.

Cera plays the same role/character in every movie. Kid is horrible.

And Afleck has turned into a good director. His new movie ("The Town")looks bad ass.

i didnt say a majority though i will say that a majority of the people that actually go to watch it in theaters will enjoy it since the only ones going for the most part are ones into those comic book movies like that.

RT will be the judge of that.

HipsterBo · 07-26-2010, 08:15 PM

Nutt's a retard.

What Focker said. It's a widely popular comic book and the people who go see it will probably be fans of the comic book/comic book movies/comic books.

How so?

"majority of the people that actually go to watch it in theaters"

People who go to theaters to watch the movie will rate it there accordingly.

Just because a bunch of RT reviewers don't like it doesn't speak for everyone.

Has RollTide's prestige fallen so far around here that "RT" now stands for Rotten Tomatoes?

It's a public forum that anyone can rate a movie in........ Of course it doesn't speak for everyone you dumbass. It speaks for the hundreds who will rate it there. It's usual a good neutral perspective on a movie. And generally the ratings there are on pair with my personal taste.

Not yet. I read Trotts' post and thought "What would RT care about a comic book movie? He's into vampire books."

Dude! Where's My Car was fucking sweet.

I have a big problem with movie ranking sites in that they are pretty much nothing more than a forum of people who really don't understand movies. They don't understand the artistic quality and if they think it's boring, they hate it.
