It had more conviction than AB. What was the point of American Beauty? That middle class American life is materialistic and dull? Yawn.

American Beauty and American Splendor have zero in common. They are in no way similar, unless you think that American Gigolo and American Pie are also similar movies.

Bah. American Beauty is good for what it is, if nothing, it was Kevin Spacey's last decent performance of his over-rated career.

The whole movie's about weed right?

Dude, three words: The Usual Suspects. Kevin Spacey is not over-rated.

its 'conviction' was artifice. it's really not difficult to do something like that if you're willing to or interested in simply offending most people. very little about that movie was special.

K-Pax, Pay It Forward. Dude. He is. Or at least in the last 5 years he has been. He's in my favorite movie too.

Your right, he has made some stinkers. But name one actor in Hollywood who hasn't?

(Nice use of my Dude statement btw)

Ahh not a play on though. I use dude too much actually, I'm an almost 27 yr old business "dude" too.

Anyhoo, there's a difference between stinkers and movies that don't pan out. No way K-Space read KPax and thought.. "[censored], here's something no one else is doing right now, I'm really stretching boundaries"

Off the top of my head,

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Vince Vaughn, and Johnny Depp all seem to be pretty well intentioned when choosing movies.

Has anyone here done a worst actor ever thread?

I nominate Charleston Heston and Marlon Brando if not.

I think Johnny Depp has made a couple of stinkers...IMDB, give me a hand here....ah, yeah. Freddy's Dead. Benny and Joon was pretty lame...He acted well in it though...and uh...I thought Secret Window was lame as hell too.

Anyway, my point is, every actor makes a stinker or 5. Mainly because they have to. A lot of times they'll be pressured into doing a role so another film they really want to get produced will make it to the screen.
