TLK Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Regarding Carrey, I think he faded because of inner and personal trouble I'd say... But he is doing well cue Kick Ass 2 and that Steve Carell's movie. He's not front and center superstar anymore but that's better than Brody flop. Well, I said that he is not a flop but I am surprised that he vanished. Mr. Popper's penguins made nearly $190 million WW and A Christmas Carol made over $325 million so he is not finished by any means. As a pure comedian, Carrey is heads and shoulders above the likes of Paul Rudds, Jason Batemans, Vince Vaughns of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrey and Ferrell should team up so we can get rid of those painful unfunny comedians especially the Apatow bunch that surrounds him.

Speaking off, Leslie Mann is constantly flopping as the leading lady. Edited February 26, 2013 by fishnets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Shailene Woodley. Look how Hollywood is gonna try to shove her down our collective throats like she s the new J law or something. Won't work. Good luck Lionsgate with her ! She s following the Jennifer Lawrence Playbook to a T. Comes from mediocre TV show that pays the bills. Check Does the Indie thing : she s in the next Greg Araki film. Check. Super Hero Movie. TASM 2 Check. Young Adult Franchise with Lionsgate. Divergent. Check. Nice try though. Edited February 27, 2013 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Shailene Woodley. She isn't a flop just because you want her to be. I don't think she has what it takes to be the next JLaw but that doesn't mean she cannot have a good career in Hollywood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wadey Wilsoney Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Billy Zane. Just saw him in Scorpion King 3. Ouch. Mario Van Peebles. Just saw him in American Warships. Ouch.

The Futurist Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I admit, I was trolling a bit with Woodley. She s really trying to be the next jlaw and she is next in the pipeline of Lionsgate/Summit. I guess we ll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the strength of that one film she is now going to be in a tent pole. This is every actor's dream. You have her failing and trying to be something even before she's had a chance to piss you off. Give her room to breathe. Edited February 27, 2013 by baumer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) This thread is really interesting because it shows that while there are a lot of candidates to make it in Hollywood, very few actually make it big or have longevity. Sorry to turn every thread into a Jlaw's thread but it also shows what a freak of nature her carreer has been. She has accomplsished at 22 and half what hundreds (thousands) of actresses only dream of ... like all the actresses listed on this topic She already has financial security, critical success and box office hits,an Oscar and great directors who want to work with her. Her Oscar night was a fairy tale you ll tell about to your grand children. kristanna Loken Leelee Sobrieski Clair Forlani Freddie Prinze Jr Rachael Leigh Cook Oh boy, how many of them are flipping burgers right now, so much it girls that lasted 18 months. Hollywood is BRUTAL, even more so for actresses who have to fight against time. Edited February 28, 2013 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
