Interesting stuff, but, when you talk about the "realism" of Godzilla (or was it King Kong?) falling onto the deck of an aircraft carrier....

[Jolly]

Yes, but that is kinda interesting. Who knew that a carrier could hold up under that much weight?

Oh wow, Taylor Kitsch… I had forgotten about the poor guy…

Here he was, a very popular actor that had starred in an extraordinarily well received TV Series, Friday Night Lights. He transitions over to movies and holy hell, he is going to be everywhere.

He is cast to portray one of the most popular Marvel characters in a franchise that looks like it’s going to go on forever and he is starring in the movie with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, It’s a can’t miss!

At the same time, he get’s the lead role in Disney’s next blockbuster series, John Carter on Mars… This is one of the most popular sci-fi fantasy stories out there, and it’s being backed by frigging Disney! They invested over $360 million! That’s over twice as much as they put into Pirates of the Caribbean! And has the potential for far more sequels.

AND he got the lead in another mega-blockbuster starring with Liam frigging Neeson and is following up on the success of the Transformers franchise! I mean, if those movies could make Shia LePuff a star, imagine Taylor’s future!

For one golden year, this kid was on top of the world and was looking at being the next Harrison Ford or even bigger… Today? Wow…

Has any other lead actor ever bombed as badly?
