[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] No, my entire point is that brendan frasier and nathan fillion are just examples of a very overused and long standing character trope that was around way before and will be around way after chris pratt. Ive not seen moneyball but Zero Dark Thrity? It was a dramamtic film sure, but Chris Pratt was in it for about 17 mins and he cracked 2 jokes and held a gun in a brief shooting scene. Hardly a 'dramatic turn'. Im not even saying he's a crap actor, I'm saying he's nothing new, interesting or special. [/quote] I actually like Nathan Fillion, and not just because he's a fellow Canadian. I enjoyed him as Malcolm Reynolds on Firefly, and I used to find Castle funny when it first came out. I just haven't watched 'law enforcement team' shows since William Petersen left CSI. Chris Pratt is only enjoyable when he's playing a total ass-hat like Star Lord in a kid's film full of other shoddy performances. He was intolerable in Jurrasic World, and the film was hot garbage to begin with. I saw him in some drama with his female counterpart, Jennifer Lawrence. I'll at least give her American Hustle, she played a good part in that movie, for what it was. They are both a perfect representation of today's film audience. It's on the viewer, not the actor. Hollywood runs on data, and psychology, nothing else. Every move made is calculated and projected trice over.
