I hear that all the time, but I thought he did well in his part. Some of the wording in the script was going to be cheesy as hell no matter who played the part. But he plays the scumbag role very well.

Ding Ding Ding!!! We have a winner. The bitch looks like a foot. Neither she nor Maggie Gyllenhall should be cast as anything else besides the "ugly friend". That shite pisses me off to the umph degree!!!

In all fairness to Vince, whom I like as an actor, that movie should never had happened in the first place, so I can't really blame him, but what an awful choice.


Yes, the Psycho remake was destined to fail.

Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash.



i thought that was a pretty good casting job. it's hard to find actors that have all the qualifications for a bio flick on Cash. those being:

1) similar in looks
2) has a good/similar singing voice
3) is a big enough name to draw in an audience

I HATE Jack Black and I disagree anytime anyone says he was miscast.

Heck, he drips slime and sleaze. He was far better than Charles Grodin in the 76 remake.

WTF? He was perfect for that role, hell, he actually sang the songs and played the guitar and sounded similar to Cash... which is more than you can say for Jaime Foxx as Ray.

Even though it was a bit part, but the fact that they put Jimmy Fallon in BoB always pissed me off. "Oh, a bunch of Panzers wiped us out"....STFU douchebag

Wow. I thought he did a great job. Better than his leading partner who won Best Actress.
