Thank You For Smoking was OVERrated... by DanielKurland	Aug 29th, 2006 09:54:02 AM
I was looking forward to this movie so much, and I did think it was good, but it was more average than great, and I was a little disappointed. The trailer made it look too good I suppose.
Aaron is Iron Man by stlfilmwire	Aug 29th, 2006 09:54:58 AM
I saw the suit in the trunk of his car. He said it was just for some fitting. He then pulled out a hot glue gun and shoved it in my left eye... or that is what he called it.

He may be too old but he'd be a great by R.C. the "Wise"	Aug 29th, 2006 10:34:08 AM
CAPTAIN AMERICA!
You know... by Everett Robert	Aug 29th, 2006 10:47:27 AM
for the life of me, I can't place him in Any Given Sunday...
One of the best actors out there by BobParr	Aug 29th, 2006 10:53:21 AM
I think his choice to do indy movies almost exclusively is interesting. A lot of indy actors just don't have the looks to be leads in mainstream films. He looks like your classic leading man. Almost an Erol Flynn old Hollywood presence. Either mainstream Hollywood isn't calling him or he's not interested.
The perfect Steve Rogers. by The Heathen	Aug 29th, 2006 11:15:44 AM
No way for Iron Man, he's perfect for Captain America, I don't think he's too old or anything. I can't remember him in Any Given Sunday either. Hmm. Thank You For Smoking was UNDERrated. Great movie. Vern rules brother!!! zooms in on bicep
Manimal: The Movie by Lou Stools	Aug 29th, 2006 11:41:26 AM
Aaron Eckhart was born to play the lead.
Fine, maybe... by DanielKurland	Aug 29th, 2006 01:39:53 PM
To the general public, "Thank You For Smoking" was under rated, as few people seem to be aware of it, and I haven't seen it getting THAT much accolade. But based on how excited I was for it, I was disappointed.
Thank You For Smoking Sucked! by Nairb The Movie	Aug 29th, 2006 01:40:52 PM
It was just kitschy crap followed by... oh wow! More kitschy crap. Look out guys we are gonna be politically incorrect about... CIGARETTES! Ahhhh! We don't need our characters to have actual motivation they are just gonna say... KITSCHY CRAP!
I wished you had asked him if he would like by superninja	Aug 29th, 2006 02:00:30 PM
to play Captain America. He would be perfect for the part!
Oops, I see others had this territory covered. by superninja	Aug 29th, 2006 02:03:52 PM
I don't think Eckhart is too old to play Cap. There is something about Cap to me that just doesn't agree with WB 30-something-playing-20-someth ing casting. He can be a little older and wiser, in my opinion. War hardens people and WWII lasted for six years.
In Any Given Sunday, I believe Eckhart played by Orbots Commander	Aug 29th, 2006 03:30:41 PM
Al Pacino's Assistant Coach. Wasn't he the guy that Cameron Diaz was going to replace Pacino with?
Nope, he's a great actor. by brokentusk	Aug 29th, 2006 05:19:03 PM
I saw THANK YOU FOR SMOKING a few days ago actually and Aaron Eckhart totally won me over as an actor. The only thing I'd really seen him in was ANY GIVEN SUNDAY and THE CORE, so I didn't really care enough to have an opinion on the guy one way or another, but now, after THANK YOU, I think he's a legend and a great leading man.
Just saw this guy in Thank You For Smoking by dregmobile	Aug 29th, 2006 09:55:27 PM
Great actor. Nice interview. Be great to see him take a lead in something big AND good (as opposed to THE CORE).

Does anyone else remember when another site reported a sourcec laiming "they were looking for an Aaron Eckhart type" for Bruce Wayne? I think this had to be when BATMAN: YEAR ONE was still developing. I doubt the studio would have ever approved that casting, but it made me think about how ideal Eckhart would have been as Jim Gordon... physically, he would be perfect, straight off of the DC page. As good as Gary Oldman is, I would rather have seen Eckhart as the future Commissioner. ...As for Captain America, I'll see you Aaron Eckhart, and raise you Joel Gretsch(THE 4400, TAKEN. I think that he could represent all of the characteristics that superninja invoked, but with the tougher physical presence that Eckhart lacks to make it credible.

But watch them cast Paul Walker instead.
Thank you For Smoking by Nabster	Aug 30th, 2006 04:35:09 AM
left me dissapointed as well. I mean it was pretty good, but a little pretentious, and the whole unpc angle of it got old after a while. Can we stop with all the infantile Cap casting? Cap should never make it to the screen, it would be idiotic.
