So if you have a Michael Cera-like character, should you not hire Michael Cera?

Nobody's going to credit him with immense range, but I don't have a problem with him.

the trailer looks good. And based on what I know of the graphic novel this is based on, I don't think you'll be getting your typical Michael Cera whiny dork character in this one. I guess he's still kinda a dork, but not a Cera Dork.

If you've seen Boondock Saints, why would you even think of watching Boondock Saints 2?

I'd say:

1) People need to stop making movies with Michael Cera-like characters. Enough is enough.

2) If you must have a Michael Cera-like character, at least use the better version.

The fact that Edgar Wright is involved gives me hope that you're right.

I find him pretty annoying also, hence my surprise at not thinking that this movie looked terrible. After some research, a lot of the graphic novel fanboys are pretty excited about it.

I just put Dune (the original movie) on my netflix instant queue for tonight after work. Never saw it for some reason - I like the books, I like David Lynch. It should be a good time.

You'd think so, but it's awful.

I know there is a lot of negativity toward it, but I still feel like I should at least try it, right?

Wait, are we still talking about Dune, or meth?
