James McAvoy With A Beard Looks Like Ewan McGregor As Obi-Wan In This Photo From THE CONSPIRATOR!!
Merrick here...
The Playlist has a couple of photos from the Robert Redford-directed THE CONSPIRATOR, which stars James McAvoy as the lawyer defending Mary Surratt (Robin Wright Penn) - the woman accused of being an accomplice in the Lincoln assassination. Justin Long recently joined the cast as well.

McAvoy does look like that guy from "The House with Laughing Windows."
-
and I really hate Justin Long. I'd hope he played Lincoln just so I can see him get shot in the head.
-
...career.<P>He was great before the midichlorian got to him.
-
<p>His incessant screeching during every single minute of every single fight was mind-numbing. he's jsut NOT an action actor.</p><p>I also didn't like his Mr. Tumnus impression, though that was much more tolerable.</p>
-
...this is Obams's America?
-
That's how I read it at first. Yeah, OK, I got nothing.
-
There were no prequels.
-
He shouldn't have used an American accent. It sounded stupid. But the movie was, nevertheless, fun.
-
So when is George finally going to do the prequels, anyway?

Hey, I bet they can still get Ian McDiarmid to play the Emperor!
by Darth Busey
I've seen recent pictures of him. He looks like he did in 1983. They can get him back to play the Emperor in the prequels!
-
...that's right, I'm talking to you, Spielberg...
-
He was a cunt in WANTED. Of course, everyone was a cunt in WANTED. That was a dreadful movie, devoid of any redeeming qualities.
-
...but that's still a guilty pleasure of mine... Where's "Wanted 2: Still Wanted?"
-
I'm curious how the film works for you. You call it a guilty pleasure, which leads me to think you know it's not a "good" movie but you still find it entertaining. Are the action scenes what work? Were there any characters that you found interesting? For me, the movie was a failure on all levels, and I have a hard time seeing what some folks find good about it. I'm not trying to start a fight over it, I'm genuinely interested to know what people liked about WANTED.
-
He could make a lesbian scene between Tricia Helfer and Grace Park feel like a lesson in how to use the Dewey Decimal System. I weep for any screenwriter who has his movie picked up by Redford. The man exudes honkey-ness.
-
...but 1) I am smitten with A. Jolie and she looks pretty fine in this one, 2) I will always take pleasure in any film that has Morgan F. playing a bad guy, instead of some saintly paragon of virtue, 3) I did find some of the action fun I(though the train sequence was ridiculous beyond belief), and 4) overall, it's so over-the-top bad, I just had fun with it. I mean, really, a loom that spins out names of people that need to be killed to keep order in our world, or whatever it is. What the fuckin' fuck?!?! It's just awesome that way.
-
I got where you're coming from. I love a bunch of bad movies myself, this one didn't work for me that way, but I can see waht you're saying. Thanks for writing me back.

...you wouldn't say that Will Smith looks just like Jamie Foxx..
by FlickaPoo
...if they were both wearing beards, afros, sunglasses and polyester pimp-suits would you?<P>This is unacceptable.
-
It is weird how some bad movies are just bad and others achieve some sort of sublime badness that makes you love them. You never can tell how it will go down. Like Xanadu. Horrible, horrible film but the wacky ELO/Tubes soundtrack alone makes me love it.
-
I spent half the movie rolling my eyes at its sheer ridiculousness. it's just one stupid thing after another. Someone noticed that the weave on a loom told the future? How in THE FUCK could that have possibly happened? Yes I realize the Greek myth tie-in but that doesn't make it any less stupifying.</p><p>Just all the ham-handed nonsense action, bullets traveling in complete circles in a small room just by flicking your wrist, not to mention traveling through about a dozen heads, just retarded nonsense.</p><p>I think the absolute worst part of the film (and that's saying something)is when he miraculously ties bombs with timers, all set to perfection, to about a million fucking rats, piled to the roof of a truck. within seconds, SECONDS, these rats are exploding on multiple floors! Talk about RETARD-O-VISION! The fact that ANYONE likes this piece of barf is completely flummoxing to me.
-
I seem to remember seeing Angelina Jolie's greased up naked ass in Wanted.<p> So what was that you said about no redeeing qualities?
-
So all Scottish people look the same do they? I find that offensive
-
in the old 1800's. Wow.
-
Just made me angry. I was literally mad at the movie that it had wasted my time. Any film that's as bad as it is (even with a wet butt-shot) that then insults the viewer during the last line deserves my hatred. Not even a new Danny Elfman pop song could salvage that bucket of treacle and tripe.
-
...the FIGHT CLUB style freeze frame of the computer keys spelling "fuck you".<P>Naked ass is always good, but Jolie was a mockery of herself in this flick...and she's looking like an animatronic hot chick these days. All cables and ball joints.
-
He's been my personal frontrunner all the time.
-
...to be god or president of the world anymore.<P>He's earned himself a time out.
-
That's what the look on this face is telling me on that picture.
-
Yeah, I've got a "ball joint" for Angie... No, wait, she can "joint" my "cable" any day... No, that's not good either... fuck, I got nothing...
-
No one went and seen Millionaire baby.
-
...was pretty funny.
-
nah i think you're reading into it too much about the whole scottish people all look alike thing... he does look like ewan mcgregor with the beard. it seems like youre being too pc just for the sake of it.
-
...sinewy cables around my ball joint any day"?<P>It's a slow day.
-
He actually made me root for Id Amin.
-
Is this actually a shot of Wanted 2? Where Jimmy mac and Jolie go back in time to stop the weavers from...weaving...and shit..through time? <p> sorry. I know it's just a water bottle
-
Slow day as well for me.

Hated him in "Braveheart" and "Trainspotting"
by ISleptWithKathyBatesAndAllThatIGotWasThisStupidTalkbackName
But he was okay in "Dr. No" and a few of the other Bond movies.
-
...I'm suprised you're not more concerned with the, you know, tv monitors in the background.
-
No way. Martin Freeman from the real The Office. Best choice for Bilbo.
-
was great
-
ahh the magic of film making.
-
This site doesn't have enough of those.
-
Yes, we all know the prequels are teh suk, but what about James McAvoy being a cunt?
-
He really digs the Avatar trailer.
-
Really? Really? Really? <p> Really?
-
another AICN! FUCK ME SIDEWAYS!!
-
but Ewen MacGregor had the best scottish beard of ALL TIME!
-
There's another AICN? Really? Does their lockeshealedleg have a goatee and spew nothing but sincere constructive encouragement?
-
But Gerad Butler had the greatest scotish beard of all time
-
Your mom says hi.
-
<p>She's trying to say something but it's just a muffled gargle. </p><p>Depending on how hard she works she should be able to make an announcement in a few minutes.</p>
-
That is such a staggeringly lame comeback that I am now too embarrassed for you to continue with my mockery. Which actually makes for brilliant TB flame war strategy. Like bringing a soiled dildo to a knife fight. Good job, lockes.

She really likes it when you do that one thing. She loves it.

by GibsonUSA Returns
...going to a job interview.
-
...go all Law Abiding Citizen on you. I came here to chew bubblegum and make fun of lockes, and I'm all out of lockes... er, wait...
-
<p>So long as I am mercilessly decimating somebody. I mean, AICN is all about making enemies and fucking their mothers. It's a special place where we can all join hands in our universal hatred of pretty much everything. If we can make each other vomit up milk through our nose, when we haven't even had any milk in days, well, that's all that matters.</p><p>By the way, your mom's dead. I told the bitch to hold her breath but she's not very good at following directions.</p>
-
I think you're the one that wants to be the hot shit. I could give a rats ass. There's very few people that visit this site anymore. There's plenty other websites on the net.
-
Quote: "There's very few people that visit this site anymore. There's plenty other websites on the net."<P>Ummm, ok. Not sure what that has to do with anything but...whatever you say.

You'd fit right in.

Your negative energies are making me stronger by the minute.

Do they have Talkbackers who bitchslap you there as well?
-
I'm in the mood for mature.

EDIT
-
Did the jocks bully and make fun of your wolverine costume in highschool?
-
Go in peace to love and serve the void. <p> Thankfully, YOUR mother is still alive, as I am feeling a bit frisky tonight and find necrophilia to be distasteful.
-
All you jaded nerds with issues just let it all out. Tell me about your mom.
-
BSB, sometimes I just don't get your routine.
-
heehee. That is winning so far. "Your mom..."is so 5 minutes ago. I would spice it up by defiling your grandmothers grave in a sexual manner. You know..get creative.
-
HOLY FUCK I about died with that one!
-
I had a similar response regarding McAvoy in LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, but for me, he recovered in ATONEMENT.<p>BTW to be fair about LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, his character WAS working for that beast Idi Amin so there likely had to be something unlikable about him.
-
a teenager with a stick-on beard, playing grown-ups. I reckon McAvoy must have some pretty powerful blackmail material stashed away somewhere. I can honestly think of no other reason why ANYONE would cast that big girl's blouse in ANYTHING. He has no charisma, no gravitas and no presence (more of an absence). Maybe he's pulled off the same trick that Jonathan did in that Buffy ep.
-
...outstanding fucking work all. Damn.<P>Of course, you're all probably the same person and you've been working on this little school play for weeks....but who cares. Not me.
-
"...without whom none of this would have been possible." <p> "...Mom? MOM?!?"

Did you somehow get the impression I wasn't including myself in that description? I BASK IN THIS SHIT! I was not being sarcastic when I said that I love those aspects of AICN. If you are being honest with yourself you can admit that you do too. Those quotes of mine were apparently memorable enough for you to go back and easily find. I think that says something. I, on the other hand, have no fucking clue who you are I think it's high time you got with the fucking program!

McKellen said weeks ago that the role had been filled. Come on Harry, enough with the Green Lantern shit and get on the real news we care about...
-
Wow....amazing, saw this pic about a week and a hlf ago on joblo.com. http://sickpicks.blogspot.com/

I happened to like Wanted even though some of it was a little over the top. James was much better in films like Atonement, Beoming Jane, Penelope, Starter For Ten, or The Last King of Scotland. I actually like him in period films. I loved the pic of James with a beard in costume for The Conspiritor. I will see this film when it is released.
-
It's all stream-of-consciousness.
-
You're like the plauge.
-
lockes, what the fuck is a "plauge"? Your spelling is vague, we're you meaning "the plague"? Lemme ask Alexander Haig...
-
shut the fuck up you worthless moron.

*hugs*
-
That's too long of a name for me to type.
-
Whatever works best for you, lockes. You're an ok guy. Don't let these motherfuckers get you down.
-
I hated Wanted so so much but until you reminded me of the rats and the loom I couldn't remember exactly why. Fuuuck thaaat shiiiit

You are much too forgiving, sir.

Or you can simply refer to him as "good people".

of course scots have a race attached to us,its called scottish. and he looks fuck all like ewan mcgregor anyway.

You still got that massive chip on your shoulder? No such race as scottish you dumb cunt.

The last one was a caps mode warrior & couldn't spell scottish correctly. Probably both great at noncing though. Is that "Aqualung" I can hear in the background?
-
But I've been burned by George Cloony before.

...is that he's spent too much time in the Zone. Done gone soft n' shit. Forgiving lockesbrokenleg? Defending AsimovLives? <p> Yack, what happened to you, man?!?!

being scottish isn't a race, its a nationality.
-
Good for him!

I mean, scotsman75 (the nonce), titbag et al had the exact same caps lock thing, the same bad grammar, tendencies to give their phone numbers & threaten to murder people & saying "lick my taint"..<p> Then a guy calling himself "Nonce" (my pet name for my favourite skirt wearing ginger fuckwit), turned up & vanished. <p> Shortly afterwards, "taintlick" arrived & either got himself banned here, or was put in a rock laden sack & drowned by the locals in his village & now there's a slightly scottish themed TB & who re-appears after months? <p> I hope I'm right & they're all one & the same. If I'm wrong, it's safe to assume the smart people are losing the battle. The r

They're obviously out-breeding the sane people. I'd give the world about another 10 yrs until the apocaplypse.

I wrote apoCAPlypse instead of apocalypse. Perhaps that's more accurate.<p> We're witnessing the end of the world, courtesy of the secret order of the caps lock.

DARK SHITE, ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRAIL
by BringingSexyBack
Now I can give you the background, but you have to find the foreground, the little things. Keep digging. Remember, you're the only person to track down Taintlick. That's important, it's historic. <p> You've become a significant threat to the national security structure. He would have flamed you already but you got a lot of light on you. Instead he's trying to destroy your credibility. He already has in many circles in these talkbacks. <P> Your only chance is to come up with a case. Something, anything. Talk about his mom, stir the shit storm, hope to reach a point of critical mass that'll start a chain reaction of Scottish meltdowns. Then Taintlick will crack. <P> Remember, fundamentally, people are suckers for the truth - and the truth is on your side, Bubba. I just hope you get a break.
-
I still love me a good flame war on the boards, but I do have a soft spot for the regulars here. The only folks I don't give any benefit of the doubt to are the Nazis. Fuuuuuuuuck the Nazis!!!!!! Oh, and Donny Two Chins. If you're not a regular and you act like a douche, I will take you down, don't you doubt it.
-
You're good people too.
-
I had no credibility to begin with.

REAL MEN are supposed to have facial hair

Always try to not forget it. Noted_Sage Yack_Backer. The Keeper of the Bug Light(s).

If we can get them both wearing kilts on a windy day.

I hate the internet it's full of people who don't know a joke when they see one. Aye, because he said he looked like Ewan McGregor and I'm Scottish for a joke I said it was racist. Get a grip. Or a sense of humour, whichever you can find first.
-
That you all are.
-
If you read the TB think you'll find that some of the "spastic morons" (scotsman75 for example), actually believe scottish to be a race. <p> Come to think of it, I grew up a few mins down the road from you bitter, sour grape chewing windowlickers, so you can't complain much if some people take your words at face value. For what it's worth, I think you're a race too. Possibly one that stemmed from the same origins as Homo Sapiens, but which malformed when you came into contact with the whiney arsed ginger alcoholic gene, sometime in the cro-magnum period.
-
You are still a cunt I see.
-
You won't win any prizes for stating the obvious, unfortunately. I mean it's not like I go out of my way to hide my general cuntish demeanour. <p> Someone has to call out the mouthbreathers. Might as well be me.
-
Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me. Cocksucker.
-
as to who you are? <p> Presumably I've offended you at some point? Oh well. <p> I doubt you even know who I am, just vaguely remember some conversation I've had. Otherwise you'd know that 99.9% of the time, I'm actually nice to people.People on this very TB can attest to that.<p> Sometimes, I even get the chance to talk about movies etc. The "cunt" side of me only comes out when someone trolls/flames or says something fucking stupid. I guess you must have done one of the above. Tough shit.
-
Preferably worn the traditional Scots way with no underpants. That would make my fangirl dream come true. I saw Ewan naked in the film Trainspotting. Whooo!
