/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Whenever I think that I see a terrible casting choice I think about Sandler doing Uncut Gems.

[–] Maven@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Uncut Gems was literally wrote FOR Adam Sandler. The entire movie is based on him playing that role.

Except from Slashfilms interview with the directors:

"It was always Adam," said Benny. "It only works if you root for him, and that's why it had to be Adam."

Yeah, it might have been designed for him but he also demonstrated the absolute fuck out of his ability as an actor. Nick Cage might be a bit of a meme, but if he does the work and takes it seriously it could be great.

I apparently fully misunderstood your original comment. I thought you were doing "when I think of a bad blank I always remember the WORST blank and everything else isn't as bad in comparison". My bad for misunderstanding.

That's honestly not super unheard of, lots of writers write with an actor in mind.
