Marvel Movies and Canadians
So, Sweetie and I were discussing Marvel movies, and how craptacular the Fantastic Four movie is sounding. I mean, Doom with some weird organic space metal growing on him?! Not right.
So then we were discussing how such a suckfest was fortold in previous movies, like Daredevil and Elektra. We both feel that although Affleck does indeed look like Matt Murdoc, he wasn't right for the role. Sweetie proposed that a better move on the part of the casting agents would have been to do as was done for Wolverine, and find a no-name who fits the role perfectly. To prove this point, he asked me if I could think of anyone in Hollywood more suited for the role. I replied that perhaps there was someone capable of sounding Canadian (this was said in jest).
He looked at me for a moment, then said, "Scott Thompson?"
So now, the thought of Scott Thompson as Wolverine is stuck in your head too. Doncha just love me?
