Title: Youz Guyz Screwed Up!
Post by: stuntmovie on March 23, 2010, 09:14:34 AM
You had your chance but for some reason you all screwed up and it's too damn late to do anything about it now!

They already picked the actor who will suit up as Captain America for a summer release next year probably right around the time when the NPC USA is held in Las Vegas.... (Have to tie this in with bodybuilding some way!)

A few of you GetBiggers could have filled that Capt America suit exceptionally well, but "Nooooooo!" - you were too damn busy pump'en up at the local gym instead of getting that Hollywood agent who would scream and shout on your behalf (the good ones do that) and make ya a few million dollars over the next three sequels.

So YOU didn't show up and they had to consider those that did.

And the following did ..... but only one was chosen..... But you probably know who that one is by now......

If not ..... then here are the guys who were given serious consideration ....

John Krasinski - the very funny guy from TV's The Office who is gnerally remembered by his facial expressions
Channing Tatum - You gotta know this actor by now.
Wilson Bethel - never saw him but he is a regular on "The Young and the Restless" TV show. Never saw that show neither.
Mike Vogel - currently appearing in  "She's Out of My League's" which I ain't yet.
Garrett Hedlund - whom you'll soon be seeing in Disney's "Tron"
Chace Crawford - the "Gossip Girl" TV series

I did notice that Bob Chick and a few of you other Super Hero looking persons failed to make that list and you can only blame yourself because in this case, they really were looking for someone with a muscular build to play the part but NO ONE with muscle showed up to be considered ... (Or something like that!)

So here is what we got ...... (see next post)

Captain America was never a huge musclebound freak.  He was a lean man with defined muscle that depended on guns and his shield.  They are talking about Jon Hamm from MadMen playing this role.  He would be fucking spot on.  We don't need a retarded muscle bad actor playing this role.  Look at Bale and batman, he did a fantasic job.

I think Groink would have made a great choice.

I think the studio made a good choice with Chris Evans. He fits the role and he isn't a douchebag ( like Channing Tatum).

I am pretty sure that a role like this did not have an open call.  Maybe but not sure.  They ususally have someone in mind and then go after them and after everyone they want say no then they might go with an open call. Unless they are trying to discover some new talent and the film has a lower budget,.  Then an open call would be used.

Thanks, MON! I never was a Captain fan, so thanks for that update. Maybe the guy who got the role will be good for that part now that you clarified my misunderstanding.

BUT, let me include a Capt America photo here someplace. Sure looks muscular to me.

So here are the actors who were given serious consideration ....

Title: Re: Youz Guyz Screwed Up!
Post by: stuntmovie on March 23, 2010, 09:37:31 AM
And the winner is (as JNN so accurately stated)..... CHRIS EVANS ....


Capt America looks muscular in this photo, Mon. Kind of looks like Bob in contest form, In fact I think some artist used Bob as the model for that drawing.
Title: Re: Youz Guyz Screwed Up!
Post by: stuntmovie on March 23, 2010, 09:47:31 AM
And since Jon Hamm was mentioned by Mon (see above) here's one of his acting photos...

Regardless what you GetBiggers think, I still think that these super-hero roles should go to "actors" who 'sort of look like' what the cartoonist originally intended.

But, I do gotta admit that I think that Evans is a great actor who all the roles I've seen him play on a movie screen..... which is only two that I can think of.

I participated in one of his films but he had no reason to be on the set that day so I never got the chance to meet him.

JNN, Why do you think Tatum is a 'douchbag'?

I've seen three of his movies and was impressed twice.

That 'super-hero' GI Joe one he made last year .... STUNK! In my humble opinion.

actually, i think he is a nice guy

i just understand that he is gonna be writing a male stripper movie and all bullshit aside, that role is mine. 
if he casts himself in that role, THEN he will be a HUGE douchebag (in my eyes at least)

so, i retract my "douchebag" comment= he isn't a "douchebag"........................ ....yet
Title: Re: Youz Guyz Screwed Up!
Post by: stuntmovie on March 23, 2010, 10:24:17 AM
While we are on this movie stuff subject, I'd like to tell one and all that there were a few minor scenes in various motion pictures that made me actually say, "WOW!" while watching them on that screen.

Here they are:

The scene in Avatar where 'Jake Sully' first wakes up as the 'Avatar' and realizes he has use of his legs once again and leans against the window and says something like, "This is GREAT!!!". For some unknown reason that brief scene hit me hard. And it continued when he started running outside. WOW!

The 'little baby brother" in a couple of very swift shots in the movie "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". How they got him to do that is beyond me. But I can tell you how Speilberg got that little kid to react while filming "Close Encounters' when he first sees the outer space guys while coming down the stairs. WOW! WOW!

A lot of stuff in "The Hurt Locker" when the guys get together and talk shit and especially the scene where the principal actor (SSgt) has a brief conversation with the Colonel who is very impressed by the job he's doing. WOW!

And every scene in which Christoph Waltz appears in in 'Inglorious Bastards". WOW!

And all the enlisted get-together scenes (only a couple) in "Dear John'. Each done well enough to make it real! WOW!

Other than that, I just usually just sit there without saying anything at all.

he was

see, i was gonna be a famous actor and then it would have been discovered that i was a stripper- it would have worked out kinda like how i started working as a trainer at Gold's and the girl who worked daycare started showing pictures of me at her best friend's bachlorette party to the whole staff)



....anyway, he totally stole my gimmick

Thanks for that 'retract', JNN. (Submitted on Channing's behalf.)

Your addition of the word "YET" cannot be argued over ... just yet. Time will tell though.

But right now I hear he's a damn good guy to work with .... which, unlike the past, isn't too much of a rarity these days among this younger generation of Hollywood actors.

Mr Know-It-All here hasn't heard anything about a male stripper movie but you just might fit that role perfectly, but have you ever even made an attempt of contacting a Hollywood agent to see if any reputable one would consider rep'n ya? (With an 'e', not an 'a'.)

There is an exact procedure to follow if you ever decide to make such an attempt and it does require a bit of procedural details.

I was asked to do that for a couple of my nephews/nieces and during the process of trying to discover the precise procedures to follow, I was referred to the Samuel French Book Store because those two book-stores (two locations) are the experts within the world of Hollywood acting and film-making and how to "break into" show biz.

And now they think I'm the family expert at doing this sort of thing... which I certainly AIN'T ... but everybody needs a hero. Even people in La-la Land.

In fact if your ever want to meet a "star" that's probably the first place you should hang out for a couple of hours.

You just could be what Hollywood is or will be look'n for, but you gotta get an agent first..... which is almost an impossibility because most Hollywood agents don't want to rep ya if you haven't done some memorial acting shit in the past.

It's sort of like that Chicken and the egg type thing. But don't let that prevent ya from chasing your dream. I can tell you unbelievable dream chase'n stories but you wouldn't believe me anyway. One in fact would probably make you change your Calvins.

stunt,

everything you say is spot on

fact of the matter is (and i'm very honest about this) i have to get over myself

also, i tend to bitch and whine too much.

fortunately, i asked my mom how many years i could lie off my real age and she said i can still pass for 25- Nice

This is for JNN and some of you other guys and gals who have the body or the looks or the talent to become a Hollywood commodity, Even if you nave nothing, but think you have ... you might want to read this.

I will tell you this right up front ..... No bullshit whatsoever here, but years ago I drove a person to an interview. I kind of laughed when he said that the interview was for a forthcoming movie. So while I was still laughing a little bit, he got out of the car and went inside for his interview.

And just a little bit later he became Hollywood's next best thing.

Just want to tell you that because NOTHING Is IMPOSSIBLE with the movie making world if you have CONFIDENCE in YOURSELF.

So - to continue.....

JNN and others who may be intereste......

JNN, you 'hear' that Tatum is planning to appear in a new movie about male strippers. You should take advantage of that knowledge and let "Hollywood" know that you have experience in that line of work.

For one thing, they may be looking for someone to serve as a "consultant'. Someone who has the required experience and is somewhat similar in age to the character that Tatum will be playing in that movie.

You gotta let Hollywood know that you exist and are the best person available to fill that job position.

So, with that in mind ... here are the forthcoming films that Tatum is involved with .....

The Stanford Prison Experiment
Pinkville
Untitled Channing Tatum Project (This could be it!)
The Brotherhood of the Rose (Hard to picture him in this one.)
Parkour
Actor:

In Production
Son of No One (2011) (pre-production) (rumored)
Knockout (2011) (filming)
The Eagle of the Ninth (2010) (post-production)

You might want to use this info to somehow follow through. Don't expect some Hollywood big-wig to know you as the perfect stripper guy for a major Hollywood role. You got to get out there and let them know that you're better than anyone else.  

And that's been done many times..... Successful stars have CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES and they follow through.

If you get that part, I expect a 20% commission. Right, Only me????? Or is it 10?

Mon, sounds a bit far-fetched to me but since I'm not really familiar with that entire concept and who's who and what's what, I gotta refrain from taking a position with or against your statement.

But, as I've said many times before, I know a lot of people in the business and I honestly can't recall if any one of them have been Jewish or not.

I know a couple of Irish guys, a few Italian guys and gals, an Austrian guy, an Indian guy, but no Jewish Prince or Princesses.

But I have read many good books on the history of movie making and have to agree with you that the majority of the "foiunders" have been of the Jewish faith and I would assume that many are still involved within the higher echelons of movie making.

Maybe I'm not as smart as you or possibly not as observant but I don't see why it would make any difference anyway.  But I would possibly  have different feelings if I was a member of the Ku Klux Klan or some other similar organization.

Those Italians, Irish, Indians etc...  on the surface all seem to be just that, but it's amazing when you dig deeper you soon realize that they all have Jewish Ancestry. Network TV especially.

How is someone like Shia Lebeouf famous or even considered to be an action star?  Same as Toby McGuire, Jake Gylenhall etc...  They represent a certain click or clan.  Vin Diesel was an epic Jew.  That Chris Evans.

Now don't get me wrong.  I'm not saying 100% are Jewish, but most of the writers, directors, 100% of the agents and managers and 100% of the producers are.  All the power to them though.  They own it and want to keep it in the family.

im in school right now, actually im literally here right now as i type this, waiting for abnormal psych to begin.

memorization the likes that doctors and medical fields require really isnt my favorite thing. im going to get an Associates in English from the JC im currently at, then go to University and get a degree in something else. probably philosophy or psychology.

Fat, it's my understanding that the Fantastic Four 'critters" are all going to be replace with new Hollywood actor 'critters'.

Not positive about that though.

But even that uncertain/unreliable news opens up new opportunities for some of us self-confident GetBigggers (Count me out though!)

Yeah i actually liked that guy as Johnny Stormm.

As for Captain America, they're gonna fuck it right up. Any of these guys would be fine to play pre-Cap Steve Rodgers but not post-super soldier serum.

Someone claimed Captain America wasn't that big. Straight from the pages of the comic he was 240lbs of lean beef. If that's not big i don't know what is.

Good to hear about your continuing education, Bomz.

Abnormal psyche??! I took Psyche 1A once in the hopes that I could learn how to hypnotize people and needless to say, it wasn't included ... so I had to learn someplace else and got to be pretty good at it.

If you get a chance to reply,,,, let us know what "Abnormal Psyche" consists of. I think that's what I should have taken but it wasn't on the curriculum back then.  I think all things only became 'abnormal' many years later.

I got no idea what an Associate in English is or what job opportunities come with it (teaching English?) but I do know some limited shit about the medical profession because I used to train doctors how to exist within a war/combat zone just prior to sending them overseas to experience it first hand for themselves. (They promised me priority if I ever showed in a triage unit.)

One thing about those doctors I can vividly recall.... Each and every psychiatrist who I ran through that life saving combat school would beg me to find some way that would prevent them from being shipped overseas..... and in each and every case I'd respond ... "Are you crazy??!'

And their response was always... "Yes! We're psychiatrists ...  arn't we??!"

I guess you had to be there.

Anyway, good luck in school, Bomz. Good to hear that.

They picked Evans because apparently they want to make an Avengers movie that will feature Robert Downy as IronMan, Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury and some other dude who is playing Thor.  Funny thing is I can't see Evans being the leader of those dudes like he is in the comics.  Evans leading SLJ and RDJ seems odd to me.

Sorry to get off the subject here but due to Bomz's interest to possibly become a philosopher, I had to research just what such a person does do to earn a paycheck each month.

And here is what I learned ... "A small number of philosophers may be employed by think-tanks which operate ethics panels. Philosophers are instrumental in deciding the fairest ways to distribute severely limited resources, such as donated organs, and work on other ethical problems which need read solutions."

And then I realized that I have worked with philosophers in my earlier lifetime. In fact I worked with some of the best US philosophers of that time period.... They were among the smartest guys I've ever met and were principal players within John F. Kennedy's Think Tank or whatever name it was called back then.

I can't go into the details of how and why a dumb critter such as myself was associated with these ultra intelligent guys but for some reason they liked me and asked me to take them into an environment that they had never experienced before.  (We were all military guys at that time, but I think that they were somehow civilian philosophers somehow contracted to the Corps and drawing big $$ combat pay).

I had to think a bit about that request but finally asked, "Have you ever associated with real dumb guys before!? Have you even sat down with real dumb guys and had a few beers and discussed life in general from their own view-point? Football games and even stupider ladies who loved real stupid guys? Guys that would give their life for an American flag or for the honor of being the first one on top of a hill in combat?"

So they were interested enough to tag along and meet my friends... all Marines!  Not really dumb but actually much less smart than these here Think Tank guys.

And "Damn!" did they get one hell of an edumacation over the next 36 hours or so!

And many brain cells were killed during that day and a half.

And that could have been the very start of the demise of the Think Tank program. Or is it still going on today?

So, yea! I know what a philosopher is. I had just forgotten.

Here some advice from someone who actually made a living out of what you guys are gabbing about.

#1 is to find and agent.  Unless you have some great contact who will perosnally endorse you to a director, producer or A list star then you are wasting your time.  thousands of people are trying to get into the business.  You need a good agent who is a REAL agent and is affiliated.  You can marekt the shit out of yourself and spend hundreds of dollars in gas and hundreds of hours of stalking people to hand them your composite but it won't do shit.  There are alot of open calls that are listed in the trades.  90% of these are background work or maybe one-liners.  

Your goal is to be represented by someone who wiull send your photo out to every casting agent in Hollywood whenever there is a part you fit.  Then you need to qualify for your SAG card.  Having a SAG is impressive in LA to everyone.  You can go Taft Hartley for 30 days then you are a classified as a must sign.  So, don't waste time mailing shit, making cold phone calls or just dropping by.  You will be thrown in the trash.

I found my agent easy.  I became a national and world champ and all I had to is show up and sign.  I got my SAG with my Gillette commercial and the producer liked m,e so much he paid for it.  I bought my first BMW with a loan from the SAG Credit Union.  It fun as hell.  And I was a nobody compared to some of my friends.  But I was doing okay and I kimnd of wish I stayed with it

Good going, No! In fact I have Dangerous Curves in the VCR at this very moment. Just need a moment to rev it up.

Can I tell them the "Hero in the Grocery Store" story right now?

Parts of that episode would make for excellent scenes in a super-hero movie.

Fat, it's my understanding that the Fantastic Four 'critters" are all going to be replace with new Hollywood actor 'critters'.

Not positive about that though.

But even that uncertain/unreliable news opens up new opportunities for some of us self-confident GetBigggers (Count me out though!)

You had your chance but for some reason you all screwed up and it's too damn late to do anything about it now!

They already picked the actor who will suit up as Captain America for a summer release next year probably right around the time when the NPC USA is held in Las Vegas.... (Have to tie this in with bodybuilding some way!)

A few of you GetBiggers could have filled that Capt America suit exceptionally well, but "Nooooooo!" - you were too damn busy pump'en up at the local gym instead of getting that Hollywood agent who would scream and shout on your behalf (the good ones do that) and make ya a few million dollars over the next three sequels.

So YOU didn't show up and they had to consider those that did.

And the following did ..... but only one was chosen..... But you probably know who that one is by now......

If not ..... then here are the guys who were given serious consideration ....

John Krasinski - the very funny guy from TV's The Office who is gnerally remembered by his facial expressions
Channing Tatum - You gotta know this actor by now.
Wilson Bethel - never saw him but he is a regular on "The Young and the Restless" TV show. Never saw that show neither.
Mike Vogel - currently appearing in  "She's Out of My League's" which I ain't yet.
Garrett Hedlund - whom you'll soon be seeing in Disney's "Tron"
Chace Crawford - the "Gossip Girl" TV series

I did notice that Bob Chick and a few of you other Super Hero looking persons failed to make that list and you can only blame yourself because in this case, they really were looking for someone with a muscular build to play the part but NO ONE with muscle showed up to be considered ... (Or something like that!)

So here is what we got ...... (see next post)

stunt, I believe it io Chris evans, who was the human torch in FF, who is playing cap

Captain America was never a huge musclebound freak.  He was a lean man with defined muscle that depended on guns and his shield.  They are talking about Jon Hamm from MadMen playing this role.  He would be fucking spot on.  We don't need a retarded muscle bad actor playing this role.  Look at Bale and batman, he did a fantasic job.
He was always pretty deisel, but it depends on the artist, especially Joe Mad's version. In The Ultimates 3, he looked like he could take the USAs and the Mr. O the same day.

I agree with Only me entirely but the point I wanted to make with JNN is that there is a professional book available for individuals in search of a Hollywood agent.

But it does fail to say that you have got to have some prior background to obtain their interest no matter how well you comply with the directions offered in that book.

The book simply informs you what Hollywood agencies expect when you send them your 'package' such as a glassine envelope with your head shot displayed so that no one has to open that envelope to see what you look like, a properly prepared resume showing your previous experience and physical attributes, and other stuff that I have forgotten all about already.

Samuel French will even sell you a roll of previously addressed casting/or personal agent labels which you can peel off and stick on the envelope for mailing purposes.

It's all pretty standard and routine, but as Only states, You gotta have a background! if you expect most agencies to give you serious consideration

Yea, Lax. Evans did play the torch guy part and now he will be Capt America according to the local news.

Here are some other movies he has in the works. (Thanks, IMDB)

Kill Your Darlings - In development

In Production
The First Avenger: Captain America (2011) (pre-production)
What's Your Number? (2011) (pre-production)
Satisfaction (2010/II) (pre-production)
Puncture (2011) (post-production)
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) (post-production)

The Losers - Coming soon.

Damn nice to be set with a high paying job for the next couple of years and probably with no end in sight.

This Captain American acting opportunity is more than likely a major improvement in his current lifestyle even though he has been living rather well these past couple of years. Almost like winning the Cal Lotto,

Just think how those guys who were not selected feel now, JNN! Talk about missed opportunities! I bet ya that each of those guys hope that this Capt American movie is a major flop.

Good to hear about your continuing education, Bomz.

Abnormal psyche??! I took Psyche 1A once in the hopes that I could learn how to hypnotize people and needless to say, it wasn't included ... so I had to learn someplace else and got to be pretty good at it.

If you get a chance to reply,,,, let us know what "Abnormal Psyche" consists of. I think that's what I should have taken but it wasn't on the curriculum back then.  I think all things only became 'abnormal' many years later.

I got no idea what an Associate in English is or what job opportunities come with it (teaching English?) but I do know some limited shit about the medical profession because I used to train doctors how to exist within a war/combat zone just prior to sending them overseas to experience it first hand for themselves. (They promised me priority if I ever showed in a triage unit.)

One thing about those doctors I can vividly recall.... Each and every psychiatrist who I ran through that life saving combat school would beg me to find some way that would prevent them from being shipped overseas..... and in each and every case I'd respond ... "Are you crazy??!'

And their response was always... "Yes! We're psychiatrists ...  arn't we??!"

I guess you had to be there.

Anyway, good luck in school, Bomz. Good to hear that.





abnormal psych focuses on the symptons, causes, diagnoses, and treatment of mental disorders.

an associates is a bachelors degree, an "AA" (associates in arts)..... they also have bachelor degrees in science, and those are called "associates in science" or AS for short.



Title: Re: Youz Guyz Screwed Up!
Post by: stuntmovie on March 23, 2010, 02:48:18 PM
OK, Bomz, I understand the mental disorders thing cause I am one, but as far as those other "identifiers" (bachelors, associate, etc), I am completely lost'ed.

But since I graduated from college once, I should know that shit and I plan to research it on the net in the hope of smarting up a bit.

Those who know me well say that I went to college just to carry my lunch, get out, and join the Corps.

Little did they know that I had a genuine interest in Quantum Mechanics and seldom ever brag about 'cept to you wise asses on this board.

And come to think of it - I actually cannot remember a thing I ever learned in school other than my outside QM readings.

I can shoot pretty well though.

did they have target practice in school?  ;D

bachelors, or associates, same thing.. are the lowest official degree offered. still a college degree, but bottom of the barrell.  im getting mine to use so i can transfer to university. in order to get into a UC you have to have either 60 college units including 2 years foreing language and a host of other basic requirements; or you can have a degree or any kind. i chose the degree cause for me its easier- english is simple for me, and i dont want to do a foreign language
Title: Re: Youz Guyz Screwed Up!
Post by: stuntmovie on March 23, 2010, 03:04:58 PM
Yes, way too much target practice in school.

And some times those targets were real live guys.

But mostly we'd practice with bullets and targets at 500 feet or more which targets were almost impossible to see when the early morning fog rolled in, and  grenades, and plastic explosives that you could mold into any shape your little heart desired before you stuck them on a tressal that you didn't want to be there  or a bridge that some bad guys needed, or a seemingly indistructable bunker, and claymores and Bouncing Bettys, and other destructive stuff.

Thanks for ask'en! Those were fun days.

Thanks for the degree info too, Bomz. I needed that.

Sometimes I think I should go back to school and learn how to be a civilian once again, but no one seems to offer that course. And I kind of look at it  like 'dumming down a bit' sometimes after a few hours on this GetBig board.

Meant no offense though. I don't even know the guy.

I know Only Me though. Does that count for anything?

Here's the latest on Only.

A week or two ago we were shopping in the local supermarket and heard one hell of a big commotion from the back of the store. Some overweight asshole and his countrified girlfriend were ransacking the aisles and scaring the older folks who were doing the best to avoid the both of them

Just as this was happening Only Me and a friend of his entered the store and I yelled over to say "hello", but he didn't hear me because this obnoxious asshole and his girlfriend were yelling and attempting to run out the front door with some alcohol and other store items that they apparently didn't pay for.

So one of the bag boys went off in pursuit and tackled the offensive critter who was doing his best to break through a group of old timers by throwing punches every which way. So the bag boy is holding the guy down in an attempt to cool him off a bit which was apparently working well until the girlfriend got involved and started screaming and hitting the bag boy to let him up.

I walked in that direction and yelled at the bag boy to stay right where he was and continue to hold him down until some appropriate help arrived. (The police had already been called while this character was going beserke in the store.

But the bag boy listened to the girlfriend and released him and the asshole came up throwing punches all over again.

And that's when Keith arrived and decided to lend a helping hand but the guy was off and running before Keith had a chance to get a good hold on him and one of his wild punches hit Keith was he was running off.

Keith simply laughed and said, "I wish I was a bit faster!"
 
And that's when Only's friend decided to take off and tackle the guy who was once again running amuck inside the grocery store. And he and another bag boy held the asshole down once again until the cops arrived.

So now Keith is sitting outside telling shoppers how badly this guy was acting in the store and the two cops come out with this guy held between them and as they pass,  Keith 'accidently' hits the guy with his elbow in passing and the asshole says, "That's the guy who assaulted me, officer!"

Everyone who heard that merely laughed and so did Keith as he  waved good bye while they lead this asshole away for questioning.

While he was being questioned he somehow convinced the police officers that he was the good guy during this entire episode so they let him go a few minutes later. Once they saw him leave the parking lot their job was done.

The bad part of this story is that some a...hole lawyer decides to sue the store for this guy getting tackled outside the front entrance while he was in the process of stealing pilfered items and the store is gonna settle in an effort to avoid adverse publicity.

He's gonna make a bundle. Who says crime doesn't pay??

NO, a Bachelors is a 4 year degree and an Associates is a 2 year degree.
