I don't really like the new Star Trek reboot. I don't hate it, but I didn't find either movie to be all that interesting. They looked good, but the substance wasn't there.

I think it'll be very entertaining visually and from an action standpoint, much like the new Star Trek reboot films were. But I wouldn't hold out much hope as far as storytelling goes.

And Sierra Boggess is a big name in American theater. How many people have heard of her?

The only thing I've ever seen him do is make a Girl crawl on the floor like a dog, then come on her neck. He played "creepy, detached a-hole" guy pretty well in that scene, guess we'll see if that extrapolates to evil Sith lord or something.

Wasn't this guy rumored as Nightwing in Superman vs Batman? His agent is doing work.

People are assuming that he beat out Hugo Weaving and Michael Fassbender. No one outside of the studio/production team and those men themselves no for sure.

It'll be a bunch of CGI crap (battle scenes, scenery, ect.), with a Jedi vs Sith fight, and some stupid love story thrown in the middle of it. I think that will basically sum it up.
Movies this big have way too many hands in them, and producers think about hitting demographics and squeezing out every penny they can long before creating a great story, which they have no idea how to do.

They added a Katniss character to the fricking Hobbit, for crying out loud. These are idiots who think they're geniuses. It's a disturbing condition, one that pervades Hollywood, unfortunately.

I've only seen him in Girls...so that's not saying much about his acting ability. I'm shocked more people aren't freaking out on here.




He's the best part of Girls by miles and miles though.


Every episode recap/review of Girls on the internet goes something like:

"Girls continues to be horrible, all of the female characters are completely insufferable C-Bombs, and oh by the way Adam is the only character that anyone cares about and absolutely dominates his time on screen."
