Independence day was great when it was released. Men in black, too.

Lucy was interesting. Ghost in the machine wasnt as good as the (amazing) original, but was still good.

The guy who played John Chriton in Farscape.

He was very suited to the action and comedy stuff in the show, but there's just something kinda gormless about his face that made him mathing out and frantically writing sums on the floor seem more unbelievable than the muppet space opera going on around him.

Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic. Dude had to play a super nerdy doctor, basically a wet noodle. Let's cast a guy with a nine inch neck and could actually water his way through most of the bad guy minions.

Tara Reid as an archaeologist and museum curator in Alone in the Dark. In fact the only good thing about that movie was the soundtrack.

I recently watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes, so James Franco as the scientist/dad. Like seriously, we’re rebooting such a classic and James Franco is the best we could come up with??
