I know Max is weird and all, but the Gerard Butler thing is a bridge too far.

Posted by David (aka David) May 20 '15, 16:09

It's like saying that a movie needs more Taylor Lautner.

Responses:

Even all other things kept the same, it would have been a different movie with Butler, but what did Tom Hardy add to the movie? -- nm - Max May 20, 16:36 11
- I haven't seen it yet, but the only Butler adds to a project is pointlessness. -- nm - David May 20, 16:39 10
  - You may be surprised to find that's exactly what Hardy adds to it. -- nm - Max May 20, 16:41 9
    - If you don't like Tom Hardy, you're a disappointing human being. -- nm - David May 20, 16:50 2
      - and actually, if you see it and enthusiastically *like* Tom Hardy in this movie, then *you're* a disappointing human being. -- nm - Max May 20, 16:52
      - dammit, see the damn movie first. -- nm - Max May 20, 16:51
    - I think David means in a broader sense, whereas that is decidedly not true of Hardy. -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 16:43 5
      - But it has to be as foolish to automatically assume someone would be lousy as it is to automatically assume someone would be great. - Max May 20, 16:50 4
        
        Hardy has been tremendous in almost everything. Butler has been at best tolerable in most of his work. - David May 20, 16:56 3
        
        This is a Monty Hall casting situation. I'm telling you I've already seen Tom Hardy behind door #1, and I know my odds are better gambling on door #2. -- nm - Max May 20, 16:59 2
        
        And *I* am telling *you* that you picked the goat behind door #2. -- nm - David May 20, 17:01 1
        
        Because I know a goat would work harder than Tom Hardy did in this movie. -- nm - Max May 20, 17:03
Ooohhh, how about Guy Pearce? He was just nuts enough in The Rover -- nm - amoxy May 20, 16:13 3
- and was great in lockout -- nm - Beaker May 20, 17:07
- or Idris Elba -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 16:50
- How about Bailey Chase? -- (link) - Beryllium May 20, 16:15
