Dear Ryan Reynolds... you are not the one.

I would worst like to say that you are a good actor... but your type cast would happen to be the lovable doof. Now, that's not something to be completely ashamed of, but I would see your desire to get out of such a type cast. The trick would be... hmm, how should I say this nicely, to stop being Ryan Reynolds in every part you have. Some actors can get away with this, but you are picking the wrong roles.
So what sparks this thinking? Well, your playing Conner McCloud in a highlander remake. A remake of lets face it an awesome horrible movie from the 80's that has a crazy following. I honestly get the feeling that Mr. Reynolds has a similar taste in movies as me because of the roles he takes. However the thought of him tying to do a Scottish accent fills me with nothing but the giggles. Ha, they should get Christopher Lambert to play Ramirez. That would save this movie from the hilarity. Though then I picture Chris trying to be a spanyard and the hilarity returns. Not as far fetched as Connery but times have changed and you can get away with a lot less than you could in the 80's.
I suppose I'm still butthurt from him being deadpool. Though really if he actually tried not to be himself so bad, he would be okay as the highlander but I won't hold my breath.
In other news JJ Abrahams is doing something with starwars that Mr.Lucas always told was not cannon. As he sold the rights, cannon will come to be. I fear for something I hold beloved.

That would be it as far as JJ goes. There was just longstanding geek stuff that there were not three move movies and the story was about darth vader, even with all the licensed books/comics on the subject. This was like back in the late 80's when I was a kid. So him doing the first three movies made a lot of sense, could have been better in some ways, but they were pretty good. I think the thing that bothered me the most were the crazy drawn out light saber battles. The original movies gave more of a sense that these blades were damn dangerous so we don't do stuff like crazy stupid flips with them extended. I suppose I was not cannon in my thinking...
Though I could see him doing it if he puts the right spin on it considering christopher tended to throw some fun into his roles [both as mccloud and as raiden he did a lot of serious with sudden bouts of relaxed joking and it worked.]
Hehe, but relaxed joking is not quite him. He's not the straight man. Hopefully he can deliver some dead pan stuff. That would be interesting to see.
