Drag Me to the Apple Store
Good actors in good roles make you forget you're watching actors in roles. When I watch "House," I honestly cease to think Hugh Laurie is the real man behind the stethoscope.
Oh, Gregory House, you saucy so-and-so, you!
Far more often, though, this does not happen. I was watching a trailer for Sam Raimi's forthcoming horror flick Drag Me To Hell, thinking it looked cool, even though these things rarely live up to the promotions. And then Justin Long popped up like he does at the top.
Yeah, you know the Mac from the PC vs. Mac commercials? That's him. And that's exactly what I would think if I were to watch the entire movie. "Oh, no...Mac Guy is getting chased by demons! Good thing he doesn't have Vista!" In other words, for me, there would be no hope for the illusion of cinema.
Do you find it hard to appreciate characters when the actors/actresses playing them are so familiar?

LOL.
I'm the same way. I'd probably be screaming "NO! MAC GUY. DON'T DO THAT.. buy a pc.. wait, that doesn't have anything to do with the movie.. I mean... Watch out for the demon!" during the entire movie. -_-
it's obvious that PC and MAC have some high sexual tension going between eachother. they should just put up the 18+ sign and get it over with already
house is my favorite show.
if their acting is good then it isnt hard.
i love hugh laurie.
I think i'm gonna definitely go see it. Justin Long was in Jeeper Creepers and made a cameo in part 2 -- so he's already done horror movies before.Â
He will forever be the Mac guy to me. I don't know why anybody would want to pigeonhole themselves like that.
sylar from heroes in start trek. sighs.
but it was still good. loved his lines.
i think it's the tv series or whatever that we obsessively watch over time. the characters kinda rub off on you. i saw hugh laurie on ellen degeneres, and his niceness and british accent seemed fake.. haha.
