I think what they said in this podcast about megan fox can be said for Seth Rogen. Once you hear that his name is attached to this, yknow it wont be that great. all you apologists keep saying maybe he will surprise us, and liken it to michael keatons casting in batman, which is a totally absurd comparison because seth has been quite upfront about the fact that THEY ARE DOING THIS AS A COMEDY. he keeps likening it to his own Pineapple Express and Beverly Hills Cop. He isnt going to surprise us and give a great performance, because he isnt taking this seriously. like megan fox we know exactly what we will get from him, and thats the same crap we always get from him.

I agree that There Will Be Blood was better.

Wasnt that an irrelevant documentary?

And, if you guys dont remember- he was first in line to play the Joker in TDK.

And I didn’t like him one bit in Batman, at all. Sure when I was four and didnt knoew anything about acting he was ok. But then i turned five and watched it again and wondered why this average looking guy that looks like he should be doing my taxes is playing Batman.

And then they chose George Clooney as Bruce Wayne.

I didn’t see “Clean and Sober” until much later, well after “Batman Returns”. Probably a good thing since I was much too young to appreciate it during his Caped Crusader days. There was a phase of mine in the mid-late 90s where all I collected was Keaton movies because I thought the dude was fantastic. I still think the man is greatness. It’s unfortunate he doesn’t headline more movies nowadays. He seems relegated to DTV, cable movies, and supporting/cameo roles in theatricals. Which is cool in it’s way, I’m glad the guy is working.

For the record: I am not downplaying Keaton in the 1989 Batman (or even Batman Returns, for that matter) and I was also not one of those who protested his casting either. But then again, I was the only kid on the block who seen “Clean & Sober”.

Hey guy, no doubt Michael Keaton is a damn fine actor. However in 1989 when he was cast as Batman the fan response was equivalent to thousands of geeks rioting outside WB offices. The result was 50k letters protesting Keaton’s involvement. That’s one hell of a backlash and I give credit to WB for not kicking him to the curb. Back then, when fans think Keaton they think of his comedies, not the actor he is or could be. Same goes with Rogen. The guy is known for his stoner comedies and for some people that’s all he’ll ever be. It all boils down to typecasting, man.

Anyways…can’t wait until the first trailer for further fencing!

Dragonslayer, no disrespect intended but, (if you read my statement above), I was neither supporting nor defending the movie. I merely stated the “fact”, that the above mentioned reviewers have reported Megan’s performance in a positive manner contrary to most expectations. My point was that they concluded this after they watched the movie. I agree with you that at the end of the day, what matters most is an individual”s opinion and not what a professional reviewer states, no matter how well respected they are.

You forgot something… “that strays from the original idea.”

Cage is the reason Blaze listened to the Carpenters and drank jelly beans from a martini glass in ghost rider…

The man is the most creative brilliant actor out there.
