I was at the filming of an episode of Colbert’s late show maybe 5-6 years back. Jared’s band 30 Seconds to Mars was the musical guest. We had to sit there for an hour and a half while they set up a camera attached to a robotic arm that would rapidly change angles around his face during their performance. The thing did not want to work right. Stephen was at least cool enough to talk to the crowd while Jared’s stupid camera jerked around on the fritz. I thought he was a fart sniffer before seeing him at that show, now I know it.

How to know a movie is going to suck ass before you even watch it 101 Lesson 1: They cast really bad options.
Anytime I see Milla Jovovich is in a movie I know it's going to be like a 2/10 at best. Not even her fault usually it's just that she's only ever in movies that are total garbage.
Yeah, I even like her and her acting hasn't ever bothered me. But you're right, every one of her movies I can think of is a cheese fest
Frank Langella had gravitas to the character. Mark Hamill plays him exactly has I pictured him. I don't see Leto being good in any version of the character.
Now hear me out, jack black. I think he’d nail this role unironically
Jack Black is capable of making pretty much anything better.
I genuinely like whenever I get surprised by finding Jared Leto on the end credits. He pops up in random aces and I never recognise him.
Really? He always takes me out of films. I think he's awful. I love blade runner 2049 and to me he's the worst part of that movie, whenever he's on screen it makes me hate that my favourite film has him in it.
Exactly what I was going to say. The character himself was good, but someone else could have played it far better. OTOH, the character is about a guy with his head firmly up his ass, so it was a natural fit.
To each their own. But I never recognise him unless he has that long hair.
Why does this hack keep getting roles?
At this point I'm rooting for him to be in as many franchises as possible. He's one of those jokes that stopped being funny a long time ago but seems to stay around so long it's hilarious. The guy is pure box office poison. His involvement in a project means failure. How can Hollywood time and time again screw up so bad.
How does he keep getting work??
Because people casting him only remember his good roles like Requiem for a Dream. That is my guess anyways
Can he stop acting and ruining movies, please?
He did well in fight club.
And American Psycho.
And BladeRunner 2049
He was good early on in his career and that's it. Narcissism got him later on and it shows in his acting.
He was in Fight Club?
The blond twink who the main character get jealous of and smashes his face in so he won’t steal Tyler away from him with his looks.
“Where’d you go, psycho boy?”
I dont know how I feel about that. Not a fan or Leto.
But whose this Nicholas Galitzine kid? He looks too scrawny to be He-Man. He might play Prince Adam just fine, but hes gonna need to bulk up big time to be He-Man. Im talking like Dude from Free Guy bulked up.
Well, if Alison Brie can pull off Evil-Lyn, a scrawny kid can bulk up. Always wait until you see them in costume.
I am already looking forward to the reboot where Skeletor is played by Joaquin Phoenix.
The musical version?
Cool, now I know not to watch that.
What are you talking about, this can ONLY surpass expectations at this point.
I can't stand Jaret Leto at all, he's a shit actor and not in the fun way.
