Hilarious Video | The Michael Cera School of Acting
Here at Filmdogs we have a love, and mostly hate relationship with actor Michael Cera. For me some of this bad mojo went away after Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but the pains of Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist still haunt me to this day. Why the frustration with this successful young actor? Well, seeing him constantly play similar characters often comes across as if he’s not trying. Which can be extremely annoying to anyone wanting to break into the film industry.

Michael Cera’s Favorite Films
Here at Filmdogs, we have a bit of a love hate relationship with Michael Cera. Although he has proven to filmgoers that he has talent, the jury still seems to be out on his cinematic range. I, for one, thought he was very good in Arrested Development, Superbad, and Youth and Revolt, while also acknowledging that he was completely underwhelming and unfunny in both Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist and Year One. That said, one thing that Filmdogs definitely agrees on is that Cera brought his “A” game and more to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Well, now we can get a look at some of the films that inspire Michael Cera, and I must say he has good taste.

I never went to see Year One, but people who did, including other Ghostbusters, said it was one of the worst things they had ever seen in their lives. So that dream just vaporized. That was gone. But it’s the studio that really wants this thing. It’s a franchise. It’s a franchise, and they made a whole lot of money on Ghostbusters.”
It’s good to know that this film isn’t going anywhere. We would really want to see a younger crop of Ghostbusters taking over for our beloved crew? I think not, and this scene from the original film illustrates why.
The Ghostbusters have been put in front of the mayor of NYC to plead their cause, and to get the villain played by William Atherton off their backs. It’s my favorite scene from the movie and features three of it’s best lines. Read the rest of this entry »
