Russel Brand low key would've been perfect for the role.

not only does he kinda resemble him, but he's also a comedian.
Thats good way to spin shytty casting. Never heard that one before
Daniel Radcliff is British too. His generic midwestern newscaster american accent isn't anymore accurate for a native californian either.
Like i said, it's very good angle to spin shytty casting.
i get it, great way to spin a miscasting.
I understand,
The “gag” is a good way to spin miscasting
Terrible casting. Jesus.




@Luke Cage and @Mowgli not getting that it's a satire just makes the satire that much funnier. :russ:



Daniel Radcliffe said himself in an interview that when he was asked to do it, he had no idea why because he felt he didn't fit the role at all. Then he read the script and went "Ohhhhhh".

Trailer looks like some god tier fukkery :lolbron: I mean just wall to wall:duck:.

IN :mjlol:

Basically This is Spinal Tap for biopics.



I wonder if Al own the rights to the MJ parodies:jbhmm:
I would be interesting to see Radcliffe recreate the "Eat It" and "I'm Fat" videos:pachaha:


Of course he owns the rights, he did those songs first. MJ is actually the one who copied him.

We need a Coli streaming service:lolbron:
Programming:
Is she a PAWG?! - one female is hidden behind a wall and 3 incels ask her questions and then have to conclude if she is a PAWG or not based on her answers.
:dead:

Another show with @Nicole0416_646NYC exposing cacs and c00ns

@ZILFIN and @Love Bizarre "Pawgin After Midnight"


The @Art Barr Show


This got potential :ohhh:


"Weekend Update"-style by @Walt where he makes up the latest drama in sports



@Buckeye Fever gets his Charlie Murphy's true hollywood stories show where he recreates stories from his actual life.



The Black Sands cartoons, written by @MegaManX and produced by Mel Gibson



"Serial"-style expose with a different focus every season - street-level investigative journalism bringing us @Luken's Lambo, @JadeB and @Travelnomad's transocalypse, @Jcotton1's entire life



@TheKingsman and @BrownSkinAfro would have the melanated version of Alex Jones



There'd be a Crossfire-type political show from HL where socialists and bootlickers go at each other.



TLR game show where contestants have to choose between picking up a $5 bill off the ground or having dinner with a Coli poster who claims to know someone who knows Jay-Z.



Somehow have to have a show with the classic realtime Coli stories - brother posting while stuck inside his couch, brother posting trying to make it home from work after doing edibles the first time, etc.



In-between there'd be commercials for mollywater




The Art Barr Show is an Ali G, Eric Andre or Between 2 Ferns style interview show where Art ask extremely long and nonsensical questions to Hip Hop luminaries and they try to decipher questions and answer. lol


For Art I was thinking something more like Coast to Coast AM where he just rambles from 2AM to 6AM every night and occasionally interacts with guests from his life who are willing to be up at the same hours.

I still can’t believe the stupidity and stubbornness @Luke Cage showed in this thread

Two years later and I’m still processing how foolish @Luke Cage made himself look in this thread

What an unbelievable lack of common sense and comprehension skills. I kept trying to give him an out too and he wouldn’t take it

The goal was to sell tickets when it was released exclusively on Roku streaming service?

“For his performance as "Weird Al" Yankovic in The Roku Channel television film Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2023) Radcliffe was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie and the British Academy Television Award for Best Male Comedy Performance, and won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actor in a Movie/Miniseries.”

You’re right, such terrible casting. Your refusal to hold this L might low key be funnier than the movie and that’s saying something.

Dude tried to up this thread 2 years ago too. :mjlol:

Movie was a commercial and critical success, Radcliffe got multiple nominations/ awards, and everybody that actually saw the movie easily understood the parody aspect of it yet you’re still here refusing to admit this L

No, Radcliffe got nominations specifically

“For his performance as "Weird Al" Yankovic in The Roku Channel television film Weird: The Al Yankovic Story(2023) Radcliffe was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie and the British Academy Television Award for Best Male Comedy Performance, and won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actor in a Movie/Miniseries.”

A cursory Wikipedia search would have taught you that. I don’t understand what your deal is and why you’ve insisted on doubling down. Do you just enjoy being wrong about everything?
