Also, would we rather have Geraghty stick to real, non-silly films? Hell yes. But do we think he's deserving of more recognition and should get more parts, yes?

This is why we're campaigning for him to take Captain America. So that movie ain't shit in the end, but hell if he can get successful otherwise, we'd be ok with that too.

It's not like we're mad invested in Captain America to the guy who says don't call yourself a geek site.

It's just clear that an adult, not a boy should play this part. And Geraghty is a talented person who looks the part and could do it (and most importantly, would probably do it for that kind of money as he's still coming up). He's great though. A terrific actor.

I could really care less about how much the studios listen to geek fans, and you're right that they don't listen to them always, but you need to understand how the system works before speaking on it. If they piss the geek fans off, they don't make as many millions. Do the bloggers and fans have final say – hell fuck no. But they do have an influence. Does this blog? Who knows and who cares.

"Believe it or not, studios do care what is being said online, otherwise, they wouldn't cater their marketing to the very blog community many here are saying they ignore."

They only care to exploit you for exposure. They are not going to listen to a blogger on a casting decision of a tentpole picture that has to be approved by a committee of the creative principles of the project, the suits, and that will represent their shareholders. Don't be naive.

Also, Derf sounds like my mom.

I'll only say that you probably don't realize that the actor doesn't see all of that 300K. They have to pay out 10% to their agent, 10% to their manager (if not more), publicist, attorney, (if in LA) city business tax, and state and federal. Then they pay out of pocket trainers (especially for an action film) and many other business related expenses. So yeah, after all that, 300K isn't that much. Which is why many working actors (who don't have shows in syndication or can ask millions and not work for scale) still live in apartments.

And no, I'm not an actor.

So please explain to me what was wrong with The Incredible Hulk.

You guys aren't untalented writers, you'd just be better off with an attitude adjustment and less snarkiness and pretension, that's all. *shrug*

And it IS pathetic for a blog to think that a studio is going to listen to a blogger, on a tentpole picture no less!

It's still annoying that the writers of the site would be such assholes about it and then go further and feign a lack of interest until a bunch of snoozer names get announced. Then all of a sudden they're like "NO WAIT! WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA!" It's pathetic. Also pathetic that they think there's a snowball's chance in hell that their site is taken seriously enough by the industry that their opinion will matter.

To be fair to you, though…okay my second post was a bit trollish, but it was in the spirit of further jabbing at them and having a bit of fun. Cheap shot though, you're right.

Derf Nurbleburger is right on this one, pal.

How cute. Why don't you just come out of the closet already and admit you like comic books and/or their films.

Although, they could just be kind of mindlessly producing this movie and once the Avengers movie comes out just advertise the hell out of the Iron Man (RDJ), Hulk (Ed Norton – ?), and Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) combo.

But seriously, don't think Geraghty stands a chance. They're looking for a square-jawed type of actor, a more all-American look.

Chris Pine would've been good, too expensive for them now though.
