Michael Cera

[anamericangawd]

I fucking hate this kid.

...

Made a thread about it.

[Simulcast]

Love this kid. Funny as hell.

[Smash Adams]

You sure are whiny, are you sure you're not him?

[Montauk1222]

lol

[anamericangawd]

You sure are whiny, are you sure you're not him?
lol
:appl:

[cirerelleum]

He was funny at first, but now he's just boring.

[duhpunk]

I dont like him either

[Forever.Zero]

snooze-fest

[WakingTheMisery]

His Between Two Ferns is so awkwardly funny.

[ThisIsNotDan]

I like that movie where he plays the charmingly awkward kid who falls for that girl

[aolsux]

Jesse Eisenberg > him

[Simulcast]

His Between Two Ferns is so awkwardly funny.


That whole series is incredible.

[seraph1214]

I like him, but he plays the same damn role in EVERY movie.

[geebee889]

I actually like him quite a bit. He's delightfully awkward.

[fake empire]

Love him

[Matthew Tsai]

lol
:appl:

tachyonpython

[chassmariee]

He aint bad.

[lovely864md]

I feel kind of bad for him. One day he's going to turn 30 and his shtick isn't going to work anymore.

[Smash Adams]

Cory Monteith's playing a teen at 27!

[GuitarR0cker1]

Jesse Eisenberg > him
I back this hard and not only because me and the Eisenberg have the same first name.

[lovely864md]

Cory Monteith's playing a teen at 27!

Holy shit he's 27??? That's ridiculous they actually make him look pretty close to 16/17 on the show.

[oldwirehands]

His best is in Arrested Development, but I don't hate him.

[Smash Adams]

Holy shit he's 27??? That's ridiculous they actually make him look pretty close to 16/17 on the show.
Yeah, and so is Puck haha

[*crying stars*]

He's George Michael Bluth in real life. He's awesome.

[Brand-new-123]

[lovely864md]

I can see Puck being that old. Because I go to high school and there are definitely no boys there who look like that.

[fake empire]

Isn't he like 21 or 22 now? Give it time...

[Smash Adams]

You know guys that look like Cory? I don't mean just tall and goofy, I mean really like him

[lightupthesky]

[Broken Parachute]

I like that movie where he plays the charmingly awkward kid who falls for that girlHahahahahaha.

[Miss Heartcore]

You sure are whiny, are you sure you're not him?
:-d

Jesse Eisenberg > him
Hmmm. I kind of agree with this.

[hoser1689]

i LOVED him in the Juno Trilogy

[Gaugzilla]

I like him, but he plays the same damn role in EVERY movie.
That seems to be everyone's reason to hate him, but A) He's still young. He's been in 6 movies in two years, some of which have been huge and everybody wants to stamp the typecast on him so they can easily hate him. B) Many comic actors played the same roles when they were young: Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy. It took Tom Hanks 10 years to come out of the typecast that he was more than just a goofy white comic actor.

And Jesse Eisenberg is basically Michael Cera. Let's not play the who's a better actor game. They're more or less the same.

[anomaly519]

I like him, but he plays the same damn role in EVERY movie.

Most comedians play pretty much the same role in every movie. Plus he's only 21, give him some time.

[Max_123]

he was really only good in Superbad, and after that it's just been kind of bland
and yes he does play the same role in every movie

I like Michael Cera. I understand it's early in his career and I'm sure he'll get different roles in the future. I'm just stating what I've seen so far.

[bladerdude360]

No way some new user comes up with the name "anamericangawd" with a smoking person avatar and a "fuck (insert city/state)" location all by themselves, that's like 5000x too similar. Fake or old user with a new name?

[Brand-new-123]

Not seen any of his movies and don't intend to see them.

You're saying all of this like it really matters.

While I think he plays the same role in every movie and he sometimes annoys the hell out of me, I agree with this. I'm hoping he breaks away from this typecast.

[bladerdude360]

Just curious, that's all.

[jared091]

I like that movie where he plays the charmingly awkward kid who falls for that girl

That's not a movie, you're thinking of Arrested Development.

[fake empire]

That's not a movie, you're thinking of Arrested Development.
lol

[fake empire]

Cera is the lead in the Scott Pilgrim movie, and that movie is going to be fucking awesome. And it's gonna be a different kind of role for him. Can't wait.

[deFobbed14yrs]

[dsd is too high]

wish he was my best friend.

i love his awkwardness.

[jwicklun]

after the arrested development movie comes out, he is useless to me.

[roughroads]

all his characters are the exact same,

[Loyaltabk]

I luv his movies

[HelpMeSleep]

I like that movie where he plays the charmingly awkward kid who falls for that girl
I see what you did there.

I used to love him but now I'm pretty over it.

[harveyn590]

Jesse Eisenberg > him

Jesse totally fuckin ripped Michael Cera. I couldnt stand Zombieland because of it

[HelpMeSleep]

on another note, how is your town pronounced, is it like Wooster??

yes actually haha. hard to believe someone not from around here knows how to say it easily
wow. I never would have gotten that one.

[toothpaste]

jesses been around longer than michael

[Max_123]

jesses been around longer than michael
actually, if you want to get technical they both made their debut's on television in 1999 and Cera got his movie start two years before Jesse's

[quitmyscene]

yes actually haha. hard to believe someone not from around here knows how to say it easily

Eh. It's more right than wor-chester but it's definitely more like "wister" (rhyming with twister) than wooster.

[deFobbed14yrs]

wow. I never would have gotten that one.


hshs ohh upstate names. worcester is upstate right? or like in PA rofl

[pleasedontpanic]

I like that movie where he plays the charmingly awkward kid who falls for that girl

I lol'd.

[Deadbolt23]

I like him. I hope he breaks out of this character he's got himself stuck into soon.

[alis21]

We just say manager.

lol'd

[Ferzaer]

i neither like him nor hate him. he's just ok.

[MILFCORE]

Liked him in his first few movies. Getting fuckin' sick of him after he plays the same character (the nervous, cowardedly teenager) again and again.

Jesse Eisenberg > him
Yeah, I quite like Jesse Eisenberg after seeing him in both Adventureland and Zombieland (woah, just realized, both movies end with -land!). I find him more likable than than Michael Cera.

[drudo182]

Jesse is such a great actor.

The Squid and the Whale anyone? Seriously, one of the best movies ever made and he gives a great performance. I'm sure he will do great in the new Fincher movie as well.

With that being said, I really enjoy Cera. I don't think you can really compare these two though. They both have an awkward comedy about them but I consider Eisenberg a more "serious" actor.

[drudo182]

And I wonder when Cera will actually host SNL. He did a show when the writers strike was happening and it was never recorded obviously. You would think it would happen for real sooner or later.

[katyara]

When Michael Cera gets other roles, he'll be more than an average actor. Until then...

[Smash Adams]

Maybe before Scott Pilgrim comes out?

ya, plus the whole "Micheal Cera" persona was really established in 2003 with Arrested Development and in 2007 with Superbad. This is the same shtick that Jesse used in Zombieland.

[drudo182]

Maybe before Scott Pilgrim comes out?

They're already shooting that right?

[Smash Adams]

Yup, they've been vlogging from the set

Ohhh, sweet. Thanks.

I read the first three books. They were alright. Wondering how well it translates to film. Really need to finish up the others.

[drudo182]

Geez. Pilgram has a good cast.

Jason Reitman saw some of it and raved about it:

"It is a game changer for Edgar and the genre. It moves the speed of light and carries more unadulterated joy than Ive seen in recent cinema."
"[Scott Pilgrim] does what everyone our age has been dreaming about: achieves the first all encompassing film of the joystick generation."
"I'm in awe of the sheer control in the filmmaking. It feels like a Matrix for love and how willing we are to fight for it."
"If I had a movie coming out next year, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it. Hats off my friend. Can't get it out of my head."

I'm so fucking excited.

Personally, never found him or his style of comedy funny, but that's just me.

[bradsonemanband]

i think michael cera is the shit. i can't wait to finally see youth in revolt...

[DeadCityScars]

Liked him in superbad, Juno, AD...but I really think he is wearing out his act in some of his recent movies (paper heart, year one, N & N playlist).

Maybe it's not so much that even, but the fact that all recent "teen/young adult" movies have a Michael Cera-ish character in them. It's lame.

Just saw something on /film about this. Sounds exciting.

[tottivillarossi]

Not seen any of his movies and don't intend to see them.


You should watch Superbad.

[Metal Now]

I like that movie where he plays the charmingly awkward kid who falls for that girl

As hilarious as I found that comment, I love him.

[ThisIsNotDan]

As hilarious as I found that comment, I love him.

hah I won't lie I do too. Jim Carrey is one of my favorite actors but I'll admit he doesn't change up his act alot

[drudo182]

Jim Carrey has at least shown he can do serious, dramatic work and do a (seriously) good job.

[DeadCityScars]

Jim Carrey is at least 20 years older than Michael Cera.

Do you really think you have a good point here, when the time between The Mask and say, Eternal Sunshine, is 10 years?


I see your point here. I just don't think we can make those comparisons just yet. Maybe never. Jim Carrey has reached legend status I'm pretty sure.

[secretsociety92]

You should watch Superbad.
I'd rather not.

[LastDeclaration]

He's okay. He's gotten popular of the scripts though; I don't think he actually has any comedic talent. And he does play the same role in every movie. So actually, he does suck. Adventureland was so horrible too.

[Kif]

I tried making a Youtube video of every awkward moment he has on Arrested Development, but I was already over the 10 minute limit by half of the first season.
