Why not go full moron and cast Bieber instead of Gosling?


Rian (Ryan?) Gosling is the blandest, douchiest of all current Hollywood A-Listers. It's such a pity they went with him to inherit Harrison Ford's lead role. Another sign of Hollywood losing it.

If the plan was to make this movie for young, gullible girls with bad taste, why not go full mental and cast Justin Bieber?

reply

Because Justin Bibby is not an actor.

and when did Hollyweird ever "have it?" What did they lose?

Sounds like the opinion of a bigot who has not seen The Believer or Half Nelson.

Or The Place Beyond the Pines, or Drive, or La La Land, or The Big Short, or The Nice Guys... should I continue? He's one of our generation's best actor. OP's a troll.

reply

I first noticed him in Drive. I was amazed. I didn't like Gosling in Only God Forgives, but the whole movie is hit-and-miss. And I liked him a lot again in The Place Behind the Pines and The Big Short.

I guess that he didn't appear in enough Nolan's films to be considered "a true actor"...

reply

I think he is one of the most underrated actors of this generation. His sheer ability to become a character, make us feel his emotions without going ballistic (DiCaprio). He's an actor of talent that is sorely missing in movies nowadays. That's why he is getting all these fantastic roles.

reply

Well, he doesn't ever do anything. Like in Drive...he barely had any lines, and just had to look cool driving around. That's the type of role he's cast in. But I wouldn't call him a great actor for that.

He's just...bland and boring. No charisma.

reply

Seriously man, you clearly haven't seen The Beleiver. In this film he plays a fiery, off the handle, young, neo Nazi, and he does so very convincingly. If you then watch Half Nelson straight afterwards, where he plays a passionate, witty, high school history teacher who leads a double life as a self hating crack addict, you will not believe he is the same person. You watch his performances before you call him bland and boring.

reply

OK I'll give it a whirl. That won't make the meh performances I've seen him give go away though.

reply

Believe me there isn't much difference between Ryan Gosling's acting and Bieber's non-existent acting range.
