(Also Tele Hated Kiss Kiss Bang bang, doesn't see the appeal in Shane Black's movies and think The Nice Guys was missing a shenanigan) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted September 20, 2016 Community Manager Share Posted September 20, 2016 I honestly don't understand why people are acting like Telemachos actually liked Guardians of the Galaxy with all of this snark. Did people already forget his rants including against I think Blue Michael Rooker? He was not a fan of the movie. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being funny is not actually something you shed along with the pounds. Parks and Rec is off the air and while he was overweight he got supporting roles in Delivery Man and Five Year Engagement. I'll take fit Pratt and his movie roles anyday. Edited September 20, 2016 by JennaJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhhhh, that can be argued. But I still think it's a shame he's becoming another Generically Charming Lead Dude after Jurassic World and this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK what weight has to do with it. Andy Dwyer was awesome, but that show has eneded. How many great movie roles are there for overweight funny guys? Most of them seem to be taken already by the guy in your icon. Edited September 20, 2016 by JennaJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main issue is with his increasingly dull screen presence. We have enough handsome white dudes in Hollywood already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that some people have trouble taking him seriously, and some would just like to shove him back into his previous box as the funny fat dude. As long as he's doing well in the roles he takes, I doubt that's gonna happen. JW had its issues - a bad script at the top of them. GotG was an awesome movie. Pratt was fit in both of them. This isn't about his weight or his humor, it's about how good the movies are. Edited September 20, 2016 by JennaJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why. The actual movie looks okay. Nothing special. From what I've heard from someone who's been in contact with both of them, that's probably spot on. Pratt is supposed to be a great guy. Very untypical in Hollywood. JLaw is a completely different person from the nice girl who made Winter's Bone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean look at Jonah Hill, he's been super fat and skinny and sort of fat and he's always giving interesting performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
