Scarlett Johansson: Overrated.
by ZeroCorpse
Apr 11th, 2008
09:54:31 PM
if I had my choice to ravage either of the two leads of "Ghost World" I would pick Thora Birch long before I'd bother with Johansson.

Scarlett's really good at pushing her smallish tits up and together to creat the illusion that she's actually got cleavage, and she's got perhaps the best makeup artists in the business applying liberal amounts of chemicals to her face to highlight her best features, and she manages to pick parts where she can basically play herself with all the expertise that requires, but she's not remotely interesting when you boil her down to basics.

Now Birch: Large, pendulous breasts- REAL ones- and curves like a woman should have. Looks great in no makeup, or with heavy makeup. Can play a sweet, sarcastic woman or a mentally-imbalanced psychopath. Doesn't have the vacant look in her eyes like Johansson, either.

At this point, casting Johansson is stunt casting. People don't watch her movies to watch her acting. They go because she's become known for her ersatz cleavage and are waiting with baited breath for her to finally whip those puppies out.

Meanwhile, Birch was confident enough in her sweater kittens to whip them out when she was 17, much to the enjoyment of everyone who paused the fuck out of "American Beauty."

Johansson is seriously overrated. Hollywood is ridiculously obsessed with vapid, skinny chicks who can't act, and constantly overlooks the curvy women who know the craft.

Thora Birch

I would choose her over lots of chicks in Hollywood. She just looks like a fun chick and her body's kickin'. Zooey Deschanel beats out Johannsen as well, I'm afraid.

Wouldn't Thora Birch be perfect for Power Girl in a JSA movie? And yes you will see it. Don't lie. You just won't buy the special edition DVD. Personally, I look forward to seeing what happens when people unfamiliar with Frank Miller go to the movies expecting to see some quality Sin City, Dark Knight Returns type stuff and they end up with The Goddamn Spirit courtesy of the modern day Hollywood coke-fiend Frank Miller.

It's gonna suck? Based on 2 stills? STILLS?!?!?! ENOUGH WITH THE STUPIDITY ON THIS BOARD! So the stills look a bit Sin City'ish, so what? AT LEAST wait for the trailer before you condemn. Maybe it will be more Dick Tracy than Sin City, and even if it's Sin City XII, who cares if it's good?

All this crap being filmed totally in green screen has no heart. It's all eye candy and nothing else. Soulless, empty entertainment. I'm willing to bet he takes all the life out of Spirit and makes it into the same vacuous dreck we saw in Sin City and 300. Eisner deserves better than this.

Segel does a great job as the lead and Russell Brand is also very funny. I'm not a plant, I'm just saying I don't think Sarah Marshall will bomb based on word of mouth alone.

You can mix it up between stand-alone and serialized stories, kind of like what The X-Files did. I don't know why television hasn't realized there are a ton of comic properties that can be adapted.

Green screen == garbage
by jbs0209
Apr 13th, 2008
12:04:31 PM
Green screen equals garbage

An over reliance on green screen causes major problems in your film.

Take Sin City, while a good film the first time I saw it. The second time the film became unwatchable. The acting was stiff. The entire film felt claustrophobic, as if you were watching it occur in a box. It was like watching a play without the conventions that allow a play to not feel so limited.

So, can the all green screen shit. It is a mistake.

Feel free to use green screen to spice things up. Just don't use green screen as your set.

Thanks. Yeah, I knew about Thora's mom. Her parents are why she's so cool.

And I'm glad someone else out there knows that Spider-Man was supposed to be red & black. The blue was originally meant to be highlights in the black, much like Superman had blue highlights in his black hair.

Scarlett fans: Worst thing about Johansson? Her voice. She sounds like an old woman who smoked too much with a bad head cold.

Half of those are FAKE, and the other half show what I meant: Her tits are only "big" when they're pushed up. I never said she was 'tiny' but I did say she creates an illusion of cleavage by pushing up/pushing together her tits.

I wouldn't turn them down. I would just rather have a crack at Thora's, because at least SHE could hold up a conversation, as well as looking hot. Scarlett comes off as being a really dumb girl.
