Sam Rockwell is super underrated, he's frequently one of the best parts of movies. He was one of the only good parts of Iron Man 2.

I want to believe Timothy Olyphant is a cool dude. He's one of those actors I always enjoy and root for in everything, like Paul Rudd, Sam Rockwell, Edward Norton, Donald Glover, and Adam Scott.

Speaking of Olyphant, my wife and I recently binge-watched Deadwood (my second time, her first), and I couldn't get her to make it through the first episode of Justified, but she seems to like Santa Clarita Diet much more than I do so far.

He's also cast perfectly in A Perfect Getaway, an incredibly fun and underrated movie everyone here would love.

I'm fine with Olyphant being an rear end in a top hat in real life. Don't need all my actors to be friendly, especially when they play charming assholes so well. :)

I watched all of Santa Clarita Diet over the last few days. The constant frazzled nature of Olyphant's character was pretty great. Loved the drug dealer's apartment scene "Hey! Who the gently caress are you?" "Joel poo poo"

I mentioned it earlier but I think I would have enjoyed it much more had I never seen iZombie which really does the "living day to day as a zombie" better. It had some good fun moments, but wasn't anything special.

Look at this dude with the correct opinion.


Also Timothy Olyphant is usually the best part of whatever he is in and his costars on Justified had nothing but good things to say about him, he and Patton Oswalt are close friends these days and if Patton likes you you're probably a good guy.


Also gently caress Kevin Smith.

Olyphant was also the lead in the remake of The Crazies, which was a pretty decent straightforward horror-thriller.

I know this was a while ago, but I just wanted to post my understanding of what happened RE: Coltonchat.

The way I understand it is: Colton was gonna be a regular on Teen Wolf in Season 3. They had a storyline written out for him and everything. But then he got a gig on Arrow, and-- roughly three weeks before they were scheduled to start filming-- decided to opt out of his contract, necessitating a lot of rewrites and a very hasty throwaway explanation for his character's absence. There are multiple rumored reasons for this, one of which is that MTV pretty much pays its actors in peanuts. This would explain why the show would proceed to lose several other major characters to their actors defecting to the CW or other networks over the next few years.

So Colton's on Arrow now and seems to be having a great time. His season 1 storyline is... you know, it's alright. Nothing super special, but it's serviceable. His Season 2 storyline is a bit better, putting him at the forefront of a super-serum plot and briefly turning him into a super-strong lunatic, which was kind of awesome. But there were already signs of trouble. The show couldn't decide what to do with him outside of him constantly getting his rear end kicked by everyone. Seriously, he got his rear end kicked all the time; by the good guys and the bad guys. Dude was a super-jobber. And then, to add insult to injury, they actually started cutting his fight scenes for time, since they all ended the same way; with him losing and thus having little-to-no effect on the plot. Roy was basically 'you tried' the character.

In Season 3, things got even worse, culminating in a moment I will never forget simply because of how egregious it was: the Atom in the DCTV Universe is basically Budget Iron Man mixed with Budget Ant Man. He's normally a hero, but this point, he was on Team Arrow's bad side, so Oliver and Roy wind up going after him. Roy fights him first and, of course, get his rear end kicked. Not only does he get his rear end kicked-- he gets electrocuted and left twitching in a puddle, forcing Oliver to kick the Atom's rear end alone. After Oliver successfully disables the Atom's suit, thus proving himself the Superior Hero, he gives a speech of some kind and then walks off in slow motion while the music swells in the background. Great, right? Except, you know, for Roy, who we last saw having spasms and shooting sparks out of every orifice. Oliver doesn't go to help him up, or check on him, he doesn't even glance at him. Neither does the camera. It just focuses on Oliver doing a hero walk (away from where Roy would be) and then cuts to the next scene. The showrunners later admitted they literally forgot that Roy was there.

A couple of episodes later, Roy gets written out of the show. It's about a year after that when Colton comes out as gay, and according to him, he left the show for mental health reasons, wanting to avoid the pressure of being in the spotlight all the time. But come on. After all that poo poo, would you want to stick around?

Well, I'd try to have another job lined up first since collecting recurring character checks is better than nothing, but yeah once they did their version of the "My ward is a junkie" storyline Roy was going nowhere.

A problem with Arrow is that they don't really have a lot of time for the side characters when they also have the Oliver only flashbacks to deal with too.

It sort of reminds me of The Good Place in that it's a pretty funny comedy that also burns through lots of twisty plot. Like, it could easily have just lived on the "wow, zombie woman has to kill to eat and lives between two cops" premise forever, sort of like how Better Off Ted lived in "crazy poo poo happens in a zany evil corporation" and did amazing things with it. But instead, things happen that continually change the landscape.

Unfortunately I know this to be true, which is why Joss Whedon recast Bruce Banner in Avengers after all of Norton's meddling on Incredible Hulk. It's a real shame, because he's one of the best actors of our time, and can come across as charming. But unlike people like Paul Rudd, who are that nice by all accounts, it's a facade.
