A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Needs a bit more than just a re-cast, but it'd be a good start for Jupiter Ascending.

A re-conceptualisation and re-write would help a bit.

Re-cast The Last Airbender movie with Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Mark Wahlberg and Maya Rudolph.

A request: who would you replace Jerry Seinfeld with in a B movie?

Kind of curious if The Room would be a good movie with a talented lead, or just forgettable.

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

You could put Daniel Day-Lewis in that role and I think it would still be a terrible film. A good actor cannot rescue a story that inept. They might be able to wring some pathos from otherwise inept dialog, but it's not going to change the fundamental structural issues with the movie, and, as you allude to, it might strip it of what makes it entertaining in the first place.

Not a movie- but: stranger things

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What's the casting choice you would change?

[–] trk@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It would be good if the kids were played by kids, like the first season... And not fully grown adults, like the last season.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah those damn kids, growing up during Covid. How could they be so thoughtless as to allow time to have an effect on their bodies? Weren't they thinking of us at all?

Shame.

Exposure to the Upside Down just ages you like that
