Movies That Didn’t Actually Happen • Page 158

Yeah Pine is probably the best of the Chrises

 

Even in the Wrinkle in Time adaptation, which was ... weird, he delivered a really compelling performance that genuinely added something new to the character from the book, which was cool to watch.

But I do think with both Chris Pine and more with Channing Tatum there's an element of goofiness to them that has taken a little while to shine. Like, with the Step Up movies, clearly they were pitching CT as a troubled angsty heartthrob; and yeah, he's good looking and can deliver a good emotional performance, but he's also a silly, funny dude, and his later career really highlights that well.

I think they both have found really appropriate roles in the last ten years or so, but it wasn't instantaneous.

 

Shoulda been Pratt, but then.... everything

 

Ahh I kind of forgot a bunch of stuff Pine is in. Yea I’d say he’s been cast pretty well too.

 

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I watch it a lot haha

 

That's a good example of a movie that only exists because it is known through some ancillary thing, ie Norm being funny about it.

Just the other day I was wondering what other movies fit that mold. Like I think Christian Bale's rant on the set of Terminator Salvation is more often remembered than anything about the film itself. Mr. & Mrs. Smith was a big hit at the time but now it feels like it's only ever talked about in relation to being the start of Brangelina

 

I used to see chairman of the board every time I went to the rental store, never rented it though

 

Mac and Me and the Paul Rudd bit on Conan O'Brien.

 

I think Mr. & Mrs. Smith exists

 

They all exist.

 

it's certainly one of the movies of all time

 

Not true

 

Channing Tatum is a weird hot guy who just wants to dance.

Chris Pine is a weird hot guy who just wants to sing.

 

Saw a trailer for that one the other day - looks so bad

 

That movie definitely does not exist… all the actors’ names line up above them in the poster

 

Probably gonna go watch that this week

 

Will watch anything with my boy Nic

 

It's gonna be good - I don't bet against Perlman

 

I dunno. The Baker was pretty lackluster

 

I might stream that eventually but the trailer did not look very good.

 

It’s a real stonker.
