Also, he’s let himself go. Not in a good way.

He really needs a better agent though.

Lily the Pink says:SeaKat: You must have missed American Gangster, then. Dude’s been acting for 23 years, been in a billion movies, won an Oscar, been with the same woman since 1986, and every paparazzi photo I have seen of him has been of him being what appears to be an awesome dad. I think that’s Baleable. Writing him off for Snow Dogs would be like writing off Emma Thompson for Junior. Although, it does hurt my soul to think about that. :)

AdmittedlyAddicted says:Wasn’t he in Men with Honor, or some name like that? I was a deprived child, and we didnt’ get to watch movies that weren’t Disney (ironic, since that was the time that Disney got busted for all the hidden porn; I digress) - so I’m awful if it was made before ohhh…2000.

SeaKat says:Yeah, I was joking about Snow Dogs. But seriously - the movies he has been in (that I can think of without cheating and checking the interwebs):
Jerry Maguire (he was great)
Snow Dogs (Never saw it - but OY)
The Gay Cruise Ship one (This is probably “Boat Trip” - Oy vey.)
Pearl Harbor (as the heroic Cook That Could Shoot A Gatling Gun! Oy.)
Men with Honor (saw it on a plane…pretty good. But not magnificent.)
Radio (The black man’s simple jack. HAHAHAHAHAA)
Daddy Day Care (Oh, oh no. NO no no no no.)
…and Ok, I just cheated. My coupe de grace:
NORBIT. MOTHER-LOVING NORBIT.
And no, I didn’t see American Gangster. Is it good enough to counter NORBIT? And Daddy DAY CARE?
I trust you. I do. It just seems like Mr. Gooding Jr. cares more about a paycheck than he does about quality… am I being unfair? Tell me. I can take it.

Lily the Pink says:SeaKat: It could come down to what he’s being offered. Mansgottaeet! There comes a point where you take Norbit because you have a mortgage, or whatever…maybe But yeah, American Gangster was really good, TMIMO. I think maybe what he does is make a movie that negates the suck of several that come after it…repeat every few years. Granted Norbit and Snow Dogs is about all American Gangster can compensate for, so he better get moving…

SeaKat says:Hahahaa. Fair enough, Pinky. Fair enough.
(I like calling you Pinky because I enjoyed Animaniacs. But Pinky Tuscadero wasn’t all bad, either.) :)
