: Ok here's my beef.:::::
HMMMMM,BEEFY!
I think every role in each VA flick is perfectly casted:::
Casted like a fishin' rod? Why, I use my moonfly 200 to pull rainbow
trout out of the ol' missapo river, butterly em up and cook em on my
carbarator, thats good eatin.
-- except the leads (with the exception of Affleck in Amy) Brian
O'Halloran was a mediocre Dante, but it's not like at that particular
point and time they had much control over casting... Jeremy London, I
really didnt like in Mallrats, and thought it coulda been better casted..::
Jeremy London sucks. The London family knows this. The city of
London demands he refer to himself as Jeremy Krakow. The fucker
could'nt deliver a punchline if manhands from seinfeld was waiting to
fist him if he fucked it up. O'Halloran atleast put some thought and
feeling into it. I liked O'Halloran's performance, I thought he and
whatshisnamethat playedrandall were two of the reasons Clerks
works so well.
: But the one I *really* hated was Fiorentino in DOGMA. I find her to be
a pretty horrible actress, particularly in this flick. She sucks at line
delivery, which is pretty important in a diologue movie... The only flick
I've seen her be even mediocre in was _What Planet Are You
From?_. Anyways, thoughts?::::::
I dug "What Planet" because of Shandling. I agree, Fiorentino not only
acts like she has a buttplug in at all times, but she looks like a chick
that would hang at a college bar so freshman virgins would hit on her
too make her feel wanted. She fucked up Dogma for me.
