    I was at the filming of an episode of Colbert’s late show maybe 5-6 years back. Jared’s band 30 Seconds to Mars was the musical guest. We had to sit there for an hour and a half while they set up a camera attached to a robotic arm that would rapidly change angles around his face during their performance. The thing did not want to work right. Stephen was at least cool enough to talk to the crowd while Jared’s stupid camera jerked around on the fritz. I thought he was a fart sniffer before seeing him at that show, now I know it.

      At this point I’m rooting for him to be in as many franchises as possible. He’s one of those jokes that stopped being funny a long time ago but seems to stay around so long it’s hilarious. The guy is pure box office poison. His involvement in a project means failure. How can Hollywood time and time again screw up so bad.

      Anytime I see Milla Jovovich is in a movie I know it’s going to be like a 2/10 at best. Not even her fault usually it’s just that she’s only ever in movies that are total garbage.

        Yeah, I even like her and her acting hasn’t ever bothered me. But you’re right, every one of her movies I can think of is a cheese fest

    Frank Langella had gravitas to the character. Mark Hamill plays him exactly has I pictured him. I don’t see Leto being good in any version of the character.

    I am already looking forward to the reboot where Skeletor is played by Joaquin Phoenix.

    I dont know how I feel about that. Not a fan or Leto.

    But whose this Nicholas Galitzine kid? He looks too scrawny to be He-Man. He might play Prince Adam just fine, but hes gonna need to bulk up big time to be He-Man. Im talking like Dude from Free Guy bulked up.

      Well, if Alison Brie can pull off Evil-Lyn, a scrawny kid can bulk up. Always wait until you see them in costume.

    I genuinely like whenever I get surprised by finding Jared Leto on the end credits. He pops up in random aces and I never recognise him.

      Really? He always takes me out of films. I think he’s awful. I love blade runner 2049 and to me he’s the worst part of that movie, whenever he’s on screen it makes me hate that my favourite film has him in it.

        Exactly what I was going to say. The character himself was good, but someone else could have played it far better. OTOH, the character is about a guy with his head firmly up his ass, so it was a natural fit.
