He's in Fight Club which is one of the best movies ever.
But his role is small and insignificent. And it's fun to see him get the shit knocked out of him.

not saying much though since 30stm are horrible

his role wasn't insignificant in fight club. it shows the mental relapse that edward norton has. it shows that he has progressed and was ready to make the transition from fight club into project mayhem. he wanted to destroy something beautiful.

Yeah, but he didn't exactly get to showcase any acting skills. When you think in screen time and lines, he was pretty insignificant.

CityOfLust

and yet he was very integral for the plot. the character was more of a symbol than an actual character. he was a symbol for edward norton's next step to becoming more like tyler.

I'm not saying the character as a symbol is insignificant in the story of Fight Club. I'm just saying that Leto's acting talent in that is not integral. You could've gotten any decent handsome actor (or even an unknown one) to get the shit beat out of them and then wait outside Eddy N's doorstep.

yeah he plays alexander's (colin farrel's) love interest it was kind of weird once i noticed this.

and i had a question for whoever posted requiem for a dream, was it a good movie my brother watched it and told me i should go check it out.

oh and he's also in american pycho too with the guy that plays batman in the new series

Not "one of the best"...

Possibly, THE BEST MOVIE. Imo

I don't think his role is that insignificent, it plays an important part, once you think about it for a little bit.

I met him at a show once way back in 2002. He was pretty nice. Not like what I've always heard about him.

yeah.
he's also in the upcoming movie chapter 27. the movie about mark david chapman, the guy who killed john lennon. i watched the movie already cuz it leaked, its pretty damn wierd but good,

and as for 30stm, jared has an incredible voice live and their first album is better.

i've seen them 3 or 4 times, if they weren't good live i wouldn't keep going back to see them. the only problem with their live show is that jared cusses 24/7 and that he likes to have the audience sing A LOT.
have you even seen them live?

I was forced to watch that show by my sister. She had a thing for Leto. Weird.

I'm not a huge fan of 30STM. They have a few songs I like, but other than that I really don't see what's so great about them. In every live video I've seen of them (haven't seen them live and don't plan to) he seems to have problems singing and playing guitar at the same time.

They are terrible live (I saw a bit of their set at Warped; not good at all).

Jared Leto acts like he's the king of music and is a total douche.

Fight Club isn't that great. It's good but it's not you know Shawshank good.
I agree 100%. I'd say Shawshank is my favorite movie ever.

I remember the first time I saw Fight Club, my friends had been hyping it up, acting like it was the greatest thing ever. And when I saw it, I liked it, and it's definatley good, but there are far better movies...like you said, Shawshank Redemption...the Godfather...Saving Private Ryan...Citizen Kane...2001...etc.

yeah i think one of the reasons i liked it so much was that i didn't have a lot of people hyping it up for me so i got to just watch it and form my own opinion. sadly though i've never seen shawshank redemption

but you def. need to watch Shawshank Redemption, its a great movie.
I highly reccomend renting it.

Yes. Fight Club is amazingly overrated, cant say I saw the other one though. As for his singing I've definally heard worse and I'd rather hear them live then most other live bands in general.
Personally I think he should have stuck to acting full time.

He really should. I admit I've enjoy some of the 30stm stuff, but go back to more acting.
