What Happened to Rob Schneider's career?
Переглядів 21 тис.14 днів тому
Before making this video we thought doing a Rob Schneider career analysis would be fun. Well nobody knows how dark the stories of comedian's really are. While trying to figure out if Rob was still a stapler or not we yelled at each other for hours and almost divorced. Just kiddin'. Or am I. Whatever, it was a challenge and we liked to remember Rob's braindead films like: the Animal, The Hot Chi...
Karl Urban: Hollywood's Most Underrated Geek
Переглядів 424 тис.21 день тому
Karl Urban is a mysterious guy. He is a great actor, who started in a cult classic Lord of the Rings but nowadays it seems like he moved mostly to TV. That's strange, considering what great actor and a big pop-culture fan Karl is. He likes comics, video games and nerdy stuff. You can track it all down throughout his career: Dredd, Red, Priest are based on comics, other films are based on video ...

    Personally, I really enjoyed Rock n Rolla. At the time, the main actors were less known by the general audience. Imagine if they do a sequel, and bring back Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Gerard Butler 🎉 with a good script, that would be awesome 👍

    I think a problem with the Doom movie is that it's based on Doom 3. And Doom 3 is actually a good video game of it's time, but it also kind of... doesn't really feel like Doom. Then again it may have always been the most obvious adaptation, as I'm not sure how else Doom would translate into Cinema.

    300 was a hit because no one gave AF about Race at that time, Woke Trash did not come into play yet so racism was dead until the Woke leftist racist came into some kind of short-lived power. See before the leftist woke trash, actors had the job of acting, they actually played the role of other humans. So actors played all kinds of charictors, different racists, different genders, even different personalities if you would believe it. It was a great time in the world.

    The problem with people like Schneider, and I'm going to add Kevin Sorbo to this, is they complain their politics makes them unhireable and it's all the Liberal woke mobs fault. It's not. Arnold Schwartznegger and Brad Pitt are both Republicans. The issue is these guys, and the actors like them, are AH's. No one wants to work with a man whose reponse hearing that OJ Simpson murdered his girlfriend was "Hey I knew Nicole and let me tell you she was no picnic," like Kevin Sorbo did. People don't like AH's. You don't get to just go around and treat people like that without repurcussions. People get to choose who they want to be around.

    Okay, Gerard Butler often complains about how people pronounce his name. He's Scottish, I'm Irish, we pronounce Gerard, Bernard and Maurice the same way. It's not Ge-Rard, it's Gerred, no emphasis. It's not Ber-NaRd, it's Bernerd, no emphasis. It's not Mau-Reece, it's Morris. Ger-Rard, Ber-NaRd and Mau-Reece are on a tour of the wine country. Gerred, Bernerd and Morris are down the local pub enjoying a nice glass of stout while wearing their flat caps. We Scottish and Irish don't do fancy pronounciations. We either do commen sense, or Cthulu pronounciations. Like Niamh for Neve, or Mabb for Maeve. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

    He was MASSIVE!!! In the 90’s. As a young teen growing up, it was a ritual to wait and see what blockbuster he would be involved in next. I do recall feeling like the steam had been lost when street fighter was released. Personally I never liked Dennis Rodman and I couldn’t understand why Jean would make a movie with him. Really enjoyed hard target in the cinema but as I got to young adulthood, I noticed his movies were going direct to dvd. Same as Segal. Only Arnold and Sly seemed to be able to keep their cinema releases happening at the end of 90’s. The JCVD really did feel like a confession in front of camera and peek into who he was in his heyday and the regret he feels, despite his success. He was jacked back then, had good looks and great abilities. 80’s and 90’s action was never the best for dialogue nor delivery. We didn’t care, they were our childhood hero’s and our parents too, that we couldn’t wait to watch on VHS, dvd or the cinema.

    you also have to understand through out her career, from 2001 all the way to upto now, her face has CHANGED a lot. like at every movie if you take are mug shot and keep them side by side you might think they all are different person. i took my sister to watch one of megan's movie idk the title of the movie it was back in 2014-15 ish. we looked at the her on big screen and were like? is she really megan? then we went home and like stupid teenagers, we compared her face in every other movie and my sister was able to tell what face structure she had changed between every other movie.

    Like 99% of his jokes on SNL were "what if I say something normal.....BUT IN A FUNNY VOICE?!" That's also what he does in every Adam Sandler movie. He's usually yelling "You can do it!" Or playing some character with a thick accent and usually a stereotype. That's not exactly leading man or stand up comic worthy. He's good for a little chuckle or a slight "heh" but that's about it. His shows constantly get cancelled, to the point he has to fund it himself, and now only Netflix will take it. His stand up is so poor he mumbles every joke, and tries to bring up Trump for a cheap pop. He has no real skill or talent. He got lucky and he has an actually funny famous bestest buddy. Say what you want about Adam Sandler, but at least he can actually make me laugh.

    Brad Pitt's acting chops are underrated. He steals every scene and is usually the only interesting character in whatever movie he's in. Bullett Train is a good example. When he's not in any part of the movie, it drags and it's boring. Most of the other actors in it are trying way too hard. It's an undefinable talent he's always had and honed over time. Much like having knockout power in boxing, you either have it or you don't.

    He’s so versatile. I actually liked priest, Riddick, and pathfinder. I wish Priest had a sequel. I would watch anything with him in it, but what really clenched it is when he played McCoy then I knew he could basically be any character. I guess I really should’ve known it though when he played Cupid and Cesar in Xena and Hercules. I could honestly forget they’re played by the same guy. But I developed a crush back then and everything I’ve seen him in since then makes me smile when I recognize him. He is a great actor and I don’t understand why he isn’t in more stuff.
