His last movie/current release is JackInGreen Aug 2015 #59

I met him once. Within 5 seconds I hated his guts. Katashi_itto Aug 2015 #66

Wait, isn't is OK some movie roles need a certain type of attractiveness or build? nt Logical Jul 2015 #2

I would think that professional actors are used to that, so this must have been more extreme. yardwork Aug 2015 #44

If I see a movie with Sandler in it, I won't watch it. He's another Republican asshole. nt valerief Jul 2015 #3

Robert Duvall is the one wingnut I have to separate from his art Adenoid_Hynkel Aug 2015 #14

When I found out Robert Duvall was a wingnut, I was honestly shocked. Jamastiene Aug 2015 #17

I read Robert Duval has seperated himself from vankuria Aug 2015 #25

Mustaine used to be great. Jamastiene Aug 2015 #16

I don't care about his politics-- I won't watch his movies because they're horrible garbage. Marr Aug 2015 #42

You only watch movies where everyone involved is a Democrat? oberliner Aug 2015 #48

My, you've earned an Ignore award for bad sarcasm. nt valerief Aug 2015 #49

What's the complaint? Positrons Jul 2015 #8

I don't think you can be fired by your agent melman Jul 2015 #10

This is true. The agent is employed by the actor. kwassa Jul 2015 #11

In acting, you try to get picked up by an agent, who then can put you up for roles stevenleser Jul 2015 #12

Right melman Aug 2015 #15

The agent is employed by and paid by the actor. Established actors are sought by agents not the Bluenorthwest Aug 2015 #20

the article also noted that Rose has another agent big_dog Aug 2015 #21

Yeah, that's some weird language. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Aug 2015 #29

Planet Terror was a Robert Rodriguez film. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #57

I'm one the fence if just requesting a certain build is sexist Lee-Lee Aug 2015 #18

the happy ending to this story is that Sandler is finished at the box office after 'Pixels' big_dog Aug 2015 #19

A bit overstating what went into the movie, and understating what it's made back... Lancero Aug 2015 #22

yes, but what about the budget for promotions and advertisting? big_dog Aug 2015 #56

108M total, as I said. Lancero Aug 2015 #62

you are correct Lance. big_dog Aug 2015 #63

What if casting insisted on a large dicks on men whathehell Aug 2015 #52

Well I wouldn't have gone to see Magic Mike Lee-Lee Aug 2015 #53

Would you have accepted JackInGreen Aug 2015 #60

Well, neither men nor women who are allover 'dumpy' get cast in leading roles whathehell Aug 2015 #61

Ms McGowan does not seem to have been all that modest in the past. bemildred Aug 2015 #23

Sandler is a buffoon..... sendero Aug 2015 #24

Adam Sandler is a jerk, to be sure Alfalfa Aug 2015 #26

Well in Hollywood, you'll be judged by your appearance davidn3600 Aug 2015 #27

Agree. Hollywood itself seems to revolve around sexism, ageism, racism, and basically everything Calista241 Aug 2015 #37

I find it ironic that someone named big_dog with a Bill Clinton avatar is posting about sexism. DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #38

Rose manages to shit on everyone. Robert Rodriguez the director has never been Katashi_itto Aug 2015 #47

El Rey Network is great. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #58

Hopefully it's profit margin will increase. I like it too. Katashi_itto Aug 2015 #65

I agree totally. It was a stupid move on his part. Sin City II was a flop. El Rey is cool Katashi_itto Aug 2015 #64

Wow! Good luck with your film n/t TexasBushwhacker Aug 2015 #67

Rose McGowan should be thankful her agent fired her. Deadshot Aug 2015 #51
