      It’s hard for me to imagine anyone else in any of the roles. They are all such perfect fits.

        Gollum should’ve been played by Nicolas Cage. With no VFX or makeup.

      That reminds me of how Will Smith turned down Neo in The Matrix because he thought Wild Wild West was the safer bet.

        Honestly though, I agree with him. WWW definitely is the safer bet on paper. But safer doesn’t mean foolproof, and the risky ventures sometimes are the most profitable. Making the worse move doesn’t necessarily mean you made the incorrect one.

        Yeah, but in the third act he got to fight a giant spider. Do you know anything about spiders? They’re the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.

          Exactly. He may not have been a great actor in terms of range or depth of character, but no one else is delivering a line like “Losers whine about doing their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen” like that.
