Exactly my point! Hollywood isn't "normal!" ;-D

Yes! What is with some of them? I was on JustJared and they posted a pic of the Red Hot Chili Peppers band member Anthony Kiedis (he's 52) with his 21 year old friend. Like, what can they possibly have in common????? The dude is old enough to be her dad!
Sorry for going off topic again.

Fury (2014)- I thought this a very well done WWII flick in general. There were a couple of scenes that I thought were questionable, but then again, it's just a movie, lol. Brad Pitt was good in it, as well. Dark, brutal, and gory. What I liked most about this film is that the fighting was shown and done in a Sherman tank, which I thought was very cool.

The only pet peeve I have about this movie and (some WWII films) is that they cast actors who are older, like in their 40s and Brad Pitt, who is in his 50s. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I personally think Brad Pitt is a fine actor and the other actors did a fine job, respectively. Just that the average age of soldiers in WWII were 26 and there were soldiers younger than that, and in their teens. I guess I'm trying to figure out if they had men, like Brad Pitt's age, in the positions of controlling the tanks? I know it's Hollywood, but it wouldn't hurt to be accurate sometimes LOL. I guess I'm just thinking about it too much :a11:
Be happy that Justin Bieber didn't star in it. ;-D

Brad Pitt just turned 50 - well, no actually he will be 51 on December 18th (I had to look it up). I just did not think he was that old!

Who could they cast as a young soldier I wonder? Do you have any ideas? I think they put people like Brad Pitt in these movies as he is an actor with an established record and a recognizable name.

I think that is the reason, too. Big names and A-listers attribute to attract movie-goers.

The actors that were true to the age in the movie were Logan Lerman (22) and Shia LaBeouf (28). Jon Bernthal and Michael Pena are both in their late thirties--which could be acceptable I think.

I think there's a lot of great young actors working today! In mind, I think Emile Hirsch, Garrett Hedlund, Jamie Bell...I think Charlie Hunnam would be bad***, but I'm biased! ;-D

I'm happy to oblige to this ;) Neesy--you should watch his stuff! My favorite of his movies are Nicholas Nickelby, Green Street Hooligans, and Pacific Rim. He's most known for as Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy, which is an awesome--but very dark--show!! He's amazing in that!!

He was also in a Judd Apatow show called Undeclared. It was cancelled after one season, but if you want to see him in a comedy, then there you go!

Um....yeah, haha.
