Obi-Wan was originally going to survive the Death Star escape and just hang out with Leia and Dodonna and the other rebels on Yavin IV until Lucas realized that having him do that was a waste of the character and that since his role in the movie was over anyway it was better to kill him in accordance with the hero's journey.

Stephen Sommers got it right with Rise of Cobra. I don't agree with Channing on this one. I liked it quite a bit.
Are 21 and 22 Jump Street first and second?

HSS: "Life changes though, doesn't it? Once you become an actor in a film over a 100 million dollars."
CT: "It does, but maybe not from the people that you really want calling."
HSS: "But you can get those people on the phone, can't you?"
CT: "Yes, but they always are looking at you as that. The Coen brothers aren't watching GI Joe."
Interesting how the typecasting works.

I assume but what he said still doesn't make sense, because of Foxcatcher and This is the end
(I'm being serious about his role in This is the end lol)
as if the Coen Brothers would cast him in a film of theirs anyway. Know your assets and limits channing tatum

Don't even blame him GI joe was bad and the second was barely better.
I listened to the interview and you can hear him kinda of groan and squirm a little bit when Howard talks about how well the GI Joe movie did, and how it propelled his career. He didn't really want to disparage it, but Howard being Howard, noticed a little uneasiness and pushed the issue. That's where this article quote came from.
His tone and attitude is very honest and not filled with a ton of ego or malice like people are gauging from this article. It was pretty casual, he didn't like the movie, did it as part of a contract, and kinda just wants to ignore it.
I don't think there is much to be mad at him for.
The whole interview was great, and I gained a lot more respect for him overall.

Wow, I see what you did there mister. Bravo.
Edit: Oh, that was kind of known already. Still nice!
This is a great way of looking at it.
Sizzle.

Let's ponder on why. Hm. Her just said he didn't want to do the film. Blaming the water for being wet, I see.

Tatum waited years, and then reluctantly criticised the film. Go see how Jeremy Renner acted WHILE PROMOTING Hansel and Gretel for the greatest "I don't give a fuck about this film" tantrum of all time.

this fool is going to fuck up Gambit with his stupid face isn't he
I thought the first one was more enjoyable, in a campy sort of way. GJ2 was just a generic action flick.

Even Foxcatcher, 21/22 Jump Street, Side Effects, or Magic Mike?
Yeah, that's what I thought. I mean, I think the original had the camp of the cartoon which I thought was the point (if Tatum really was a fan of the show he should know). It was never a real "serious" cartoon or anything.
Could be rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia clouding his memory. Seriously go watch the original series from the 80's.
Urban legend. Guinness didn't demand to be killed, in fact he was upset that Lucas changed the script to kill him off, feeling it may have diminished his character. Ultimately, he came to accept it and may have even embraced the urban legend himself.
The idea that Guinness hated Star Wars is definitely overhyped. He felt pretty confused and lost during the production, unable to make heads or tales of exactly what Lucas was doing, but he enjoyed the other actors (who worshipped him) and was definitely the consummate professional on set.

I didn't know the source material but that first was a cool action film. I even liked the sequel but that's mostly about how dope the Rock makes everything.

it's pretty awesome that he got a preface by Le Carre.
Both Movies were awesome int heir own right, and Channing does an awesome job in them being Channing.
Of course no doors are going to open up if you can only do the one thing.
Also wasn't he in Jupiter Ascending or something? Be thankful those movies at least have an audience and we not universally panned.

I still need to see the tv series, after loving the movie so much. It's only seven parts, should have no excuse really.
Also, maybe read his books. Like even The Little Drummer Girl.

I love that first Joe movie. It has Eccleston sleepwalking around, Boon Jun Hyun shooting rockets at the Eiffel tower, Ray Park in a dream casting as Snake Eyes, Baroness rocking the specs, and Joseph Gordon Levitt hamming it up more then your average James Franco role.
It's the epitome of an action film maybe being aware that it can't rise above being a b-tier popcorn flick, so it might as well go for it as an eccentric movie.
Tatum was dead weight in it though, for sure.

He can't talk shit about GI Joe after Jupiter Rising. Enjoyed those movies more than I thought but they were still pretty dumb. Like the scene near the end where Baroness gets her memories back... that was some straight up soap opera acting, grabbing her head looking around quickly confused hahahaha. How that scene made it in still makes me laugh.
Pretty sure he's shit on that one too, he's an honest guy.

I don't get this as this was the first Star Wars movie. Did he just not care for the role after getting it?
