Nothing is Sacred
« on: 20 Sep 2010, 21:10 »

Just found out they are currently filming a movie adaptation of On The Road. This book means everything to me and to see that Kirsten Dunst(Camille) and Kristen Stewart(Mary-lou) are gonna be in it basically disgusts me. No one has ever made a movie about it in over 50yrs so why do it now. The only saving grace the movie has its Director is Walter Salles best known( at least to me) for City of God and Motorcycle Diaries.

I am ambivalent towards both actresses these days.

It might not actually be terrible.

I think you're letting your personal opinion of the actresses involved cloud your judgement of what a good director can get out of a mediocre actor/actress.

I don't really hold Twilight against Kristen Stewart. She seems a pretty decent actress given that she's 20.

She was pretty good in Panic Room and I hear good things about Speak.

I think after the pile of Bantha droppings that was Twilight, anything can be an improvement for the actors involved.

The actors are just another reason for me not to like this. The main reason is that they are making it in the 1st place. I just feel that some things should be left alone.

Kristen Stewart was pretty OK in the totally-surprising-in-general Adventureland.

She was also pretty good pretending to be young Joan Jett in the Runaways.

Fun fact: a lot of the time actors agree to take roles in shitty films because they need the money! Or because they want to get a higher profile! Or because it doesn't seem like it's going to be so shitty before all the millions of middle-men involved in the production of a film get involved and start shitting things up! It's pretty silly to say "X actor sucks because they were in Y film." It's even more silly (and a logical fallacy to boot) to say "X actor was in a shitty film, therefore all films X actor appears in will be shitty."

I know people who still hold Titanic against Leo DiCaprio and had to basically be dragged to Inception.

That is not a movie anyone should be reluctant about.

Funny you mention Leo, because on other boards people have been saying how this could turn out to be like the Beach. That movie was also about escaping life and seeing the world to lean about yourself. I hope those will be the only comparisons since that movie sucked in a major way.
