He IS overexposed, but he is also a good actor, when the role calls for it. I like the guy, but I'm more worried about that pudgy bastard Seth Rogen playing Green Hornet! I can't STAND that guy. I don't think he's that funny, and that movie "Observe and Report" was [frick]in awful. It makes me sad that my generation looks up to that guy. While I'm on the subject you know who else I really [frick]in' hate?

That pudgy bastard is gonna be in the 21 Jump Street movie. That's right, that afroed fatty, will be in 21 Jump Street. He was talking about how the show was a comedy anyway, people just dont realize it. Sonofabitch. This to me is how a lot of people feel about GI Joe or Transformers being done improperly. I mean, the guy is MILDLY funny, but that's about it.

Ten years ago, when I was 17, American Pie came out, and that movie was about four kids trying to score before grad. It was basically a biographical piece of every teenage boy in America. But if you watch the movie, none of those kids, besides Stifler, were assholes. They were horndogs, but not assholes. And BECAUSE Stifler was an asshole, they all pretty much just used him for parties. When I saw Superbad, Fatty was a COMPLETE asshole, I hate to sound like a cranky old man, but a lot of that shit wasn't funny, it was [frick]in crude. He was just a nasty kid. Same thing when Is saw "Knocked Up" I was thinking that Rogen's character was gonna be a lovable loser but he was a straight up asshole. Cursing his old lady out and stuff. How freakin low class trashy is that? The ONLY thing good about his character was that he took responsibility for the "knock up"...the point of this really long tangent is that I freaking HATE that these clowns are thought so highly of...although since "Observe and Report" TANKED...maybe that crap is starting to wear off!

Now Im getting worried. This is getting closer to a Nicholas Cage-Ryan Reynolds smackdown. When each actor has every role in every movie, theres gonna be only one role left in a movie and they are gonna have to fight over it! Cue mortal kombat to the death! lol And then Hollywood is gonna make a movie about that too. *sigh* I hate Hollywood. Well at least there is some super special awesome comic book movies coming to make up for it, woohoo! LOL

Geez...who keeps giving him these roles? He is not cute, his hair line is atrocious and he plays the same dude in all his movies. Is he the only actor out there?

I can see it now, soon Ryan Reynolds and Nick cage will be the only two comicbookmovie actors in Hollywood and they will come against each other for the last comic role available, Wonder WOman. They must fight to the death to see who will play Wonder WOman, beause

There Can be only one!

@ Keven...it isn't towards all of the Apatow crew, just those two, because they aren't as funny as everyone says, hence they are overrated...and yes, I smack my kids around if they cant sing the bible songs in key, but I don't have the farting issue since I laid off dairy products, I'm old, cranky and in the NRA,I think there should be nothing but Bible shows on TV 24/7 and severely dislike any communists, socialists, Dems, hippies...basically anyone who isn't white and making a $250,000/year and worships Ronald Reagen...and in my free time I laugh at the migrant workers who toil on my plantation while I chew tobacco and count my money...how's that?

This keeps getting worse with every update. I swear by the time this movie rolls Nic Cage is going to be a complete wax figure. Dude gets waxier every single day that goes by.
