Movie question

Do you ever watch a movie and think that it would be 100x better if they had  picked a different actor/actress for a certain role? I'm watching Chicago, and I really love the movie, but I still think someone else could have been better for the role of Roxie Hart.  I don't know who, and I really like Renee Zellweger in general, she just really irks me in this movie. What about you? Also, what movie should I watch after this? It's raining and I don't have anything to do until 7 tonight. We have at least 250 movies, so just pick one and chances are good that we have it.

Re: Movie question

  • Yes... Actually I did not like Chicago because of Renee.  And I like her, just not in that role.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • I really dislike Renee Zellweger. In everything. She ruined that movie for me.I want to watch Labyrinth, so I vote that. David Bowie in spandex!

  • I totally agree with the Roxie Hart thing. Also, the actress who was the lead roll in The Departed was a weird choice for me and Minnie Driver did not have chemisty with Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting. (can you tell DH and I just rewatched Boston flicks?)
  • YES. Renee was just all wrong for that role.I was also pretty unsatisfied with Katie Holmes in Batman Begins... much happier with Maggie Gyllenhaal.

  • Kind of. Winona Ryder would have been way better in Godfather III than Sofia Coppola, but it wouldn't have made the movie better.
  • Of course, we do not have the labrynth :(  But now for some reason I want to watch the neverending story, which I also do not have.  Also, since I don't want to start a whole new post but I"m really excited, I want to brag about my new lap desk that just came in the mail a few minutes ago :) My legs don't have to get all hot anymore! Too bad the laptop is almost as big as the cushiony lap desk thing.  It has a cupholder, but I can't use it at the same time since the computer covers it up.

  • ps- I decided to watch Nightmare before Christmas. I probably should have waited until closer to Halloween, but I love this movie :)  And after that if I have time for another it will either be All Dogs go to Heaven or Moulin Rouge.  Odd choices.
