Joesph Gordon Levitt has had an amazing run of movies.

Lol at how butthurt some of you faggots are. I know chicks who don't have as big of a crush on this guy as some of you homos do.

I never insulted his acting, in fact, I said he is a great actor. He has good range, but his look limits what he can do because his on screen presence isn't ever going to overshadow bigger and better actors than him, which there are plenty.

Quit being so fucking butthurt because someone doesn't have the same opinion as you.

I cannot be the only one who didn't like 500 Days of Summer. :shifty:

I like JGL, but he isn't a standalone actor. All of his best movies were vehicles for other bigger stars. He does have a bright future, but he isn't a headliner, imo.

What movies are you referring to?

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Lol @ groaning these posts. JGL can't even get his name spelled right in the thread title and people are groaning that he hasn't won an Oscar.
Buzzman - Nothing said changes the fact he has not been a lead actor in a hit nor been nominated for an Oscar. No actor alive has non stop hits. But JGL has ZERO. Noones downplayed his potential so what on earth is the big deal.

The Incredible Hulk was pretty bad. Also, Red Dragon wasn't much, either. Both were pretty big budget movies that didn't perform nearly as well as hoped.

The Incredible Hulk did well enough at the box office (better than expected actually) and critics liked it for the most part. Red Dragon also did very well at the box office and it got similar reviews to the Incredible Hulk.

Matt Damon isn't a box office draw, Jason Bourne is - no Oscar noms except for a shame supporting one for Invictus is telling, too.
Ed Norton is a fantastic actor, but isn't very popular - too many duds.
RDJ plays himself in everything.
George Clooney is always George Clooney, too - a toss up, but i'll give you it.
Brad Pitt has a hard time being successful at the box office when he's the lead.
Johnny Depp is a box office draw, but plays obnoxious weirdos in everything, not much range there - he's a hack.
DiCaprio, I can't believe I forgot I'll give you that one, he's the best man, he did it - but people challenge his range, too.

None of the above match the trifecta you mentioned - Carry a movie, successful blockbuster and Oscar credibility.

To be fair - it's Joseph he spelled wrong and it's red, soooooo...

Not blockbusters. Hardly even good movies. Especially in the spectrum of Marvel movies - Incredible Hulk was the worst tie in to the Avengers.

All I said was they weren't busts. I'm not in the same argument as you lol.

Tailback U and KOF, stop posting in the studio.

 

[Buzzman]

What? Apart from Death to Smoochy, what movies are you calling bombs?

Im calling Leaves of Grass, Pride and Glory, Down in the valley, stone, the Painted Veil. It might just be easier to say any movie hes made in the past 10 years.

The Bourne Legacy looks to be the most interesting roles hes done in the past decade aside from his great glorified cameo in Moonrise Kingdom.

I don't think were arguing the same thing. I was arguing that the poster said JGL wont ever win an Oscar in a drama role. I'm not talking box office with JGL. His track record clearly shows he is on the brink of becoming a well respected name in Hollywood, if he hasn't already. He's in the same spot Ryan Gosling was in 5 years ago. The juicy roles and films are just going to keep coming.

JGL is young...he has plenty of time to grow.

The only actor who has both box office draw and acting chops to go with it is Tom Hanks.

Sup.

Will Smith doesn't have Oscar cred and do big numbers at the box office?


Oh.

His role in Moonrise Kingdom is far from a cameo. Even so, he is probably the best part of the whole movie.

Oh.

"Oscar cred" ..? He was nominated for Ali and the Pursuit of Happyness. The former is actually a good movie with a good performance. The latter is a fucking joke of a movie and nomination. He's pathetic now - his future consists of what-if sequels of mediocre movies and a circle jerk between him, his son and M Night Shayamalan.

Sure, he is/was a box office draw and entertaining as hell, but that's as far as it goes. People went to see MiB3 because his name was attached to it, but Josh Brolin was the reason why the movie was tolerable at best.

Future? Thought we were talking about the past. You are the one bringing up Tom Hanks like it's 1997 and shit.
