A Letter to Hollywood

Specifically, to the lazy bastards in charge of casting;

STOP RECYCLING ACTORS.

For an explanation, I give you my GEEK RANT.

Its well known that I love all things SUPER. Ex; Comics, Action figures, Spandex, Movies.

Movies soon to come? "The Green Lantern" and "Captain America" both of which I avidly read the comics.

So when I find out that a new marvel or DC movie is coming out, I like to check to see who is casted.

Well this is what I found. Let us reflect back on who was cast in the previous movies, "Wolverine Origins" and "The Fantastic Four". In W.O., The snarky character known as Deadpool was played by Ryan Reynolds. In F.F., the equally snarky character, The Human Torch, was played by Chris Evans.

Ok now that we've re-established that, who, oh who will be playing The Green Lantern and Captain America?!

RYAN REYNOLDS AS THE GREEN LANTERN AND CHRIS EVANS AS CAPTAIN AMERICA. WHAT THE HELL?!

Really Hollyweird? Don't get me wrong, they both are superb actors not to mention they are babes, but they have already been established as a certain superhero! ALSO, There is a "Deadpool" movie coming out!! COME ON! The only thing I can say is that they are lucky that their different superhero personas don't ever run into each other, because then what would they do?! Split screen or re-cast? Ya probably which would RUIN it. Morons. It would be acceptable if they played minor characters, but they clearly don't.

Lets consider possible alternatives---Eric Bana, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Phillippe, Jared Padalecki, Mark Walberg, Wentworth Miller, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Matt Damon, Chris Pine(yes already scored the role of Kirk, but no superhero role yet). My point is that they had options, yet they don't even try. They did a great job casting Hugo Weaving as Red Skull in C.A., that was spot on. And not to say that Ryan and Chris weren't, but the purpose of movies is to bring something to a level of reality, and I can't watch it and think oh, he's the green lantern and he's captain america. It loses that small sense of believability that I look for and enjoy.

SO IN SUMMARY USING PICTURES;

As always, thanks for reading. Comment on who you would've cast instead!

OH and if you haven't voted yet, shame to you. Unshameify yourself by voting right now on the biggest douche of the year!!!

Thank you. UNTIL NEXT TIME.
