Oh casting department of this random Hercules movie I'm watching... Way to totally cast people cause they're pretty, and not because they can act. (This is actually a disturbingly popular trend, and not just in made for TV movies...)

So why am I watching this? Well, because I like watching teh pretty. I'm not gonna lie.  Also, Sean Astin is in it (pretty AND can act, so there you go. Plus the accent is sexy). He's playing Hercules' servant/personal poet, and is following our muscle-y hero around on all his quests. Why does that sound familiar? Doesn't Sam Sean EVER get to be the main hero?

Hmmm... Maybe they cast Hercules cause he does the fight scenes well? I dunno, but it's definately not for his subtlety of emotion.




Another random movie thought: They need to stop making really good books (Blood and Chocolate, Bridge to Teribithia, and How to Eat Fried Worms, for example) into really crappy moves. Not every book needs to be a movie. Especially children's books. Keep this up, and kids won't even need to learn to read. They'll just wait for the movie. And the movie's never as good.
