Keep in mind this guy is Megatron, V, Elrond and Agent Smith.
The only logical next step is for him to play Zod and then fly to heaven and take over as Supreme Ruler of the Universe.

Classic That Guy of the Week
This Guy, Glenn Morshower -- he's played the military dude in every movie made since they started making talkies. He's also a motivational speaker in real life. One of my favorite That Guys.
From the IMDB trivia section: "As an actor he has played the role of no less than 53 different law enforcement/military personnel: 22 Police/Law enforcement officers; 21 Military Personnel; and 10 Government agents. Recently he has played the role of quite a few Secret Service Agents."
I'll go ahead and say what we're all thinking: I think this guy could get us out of Iraq by Wednesday.

Ponzi: The Bernie Madoff Story
IDEA: Bernie Madoff Biopic
TITLES: Ponzi, Get Rich or Die Tryin' or, simply, Asshole
CASTING: I see three ways out of this - Bradley Cooper as Madoff, with great aging makeup; Cooper as the younger Madoff and Stanley Tucci as the thief in winter or, most outrageously...Saul Rubinek for the whole picture.
TRAILER: Studio logo. We HEAR a room of investors fretting over their money. Suddenly, the room goes DEAD. CU on a pair of patent leather Italian shoes walking, panning up to reveal the wearer in a Brooks Brothers suit. This is BERNARD L. MADOFF. He leans over, palms splayed down onto the table. "Hi there. I'm Bernie Madoff. Now who wants to make some goddamned money?" Punch into the O'Jay's For the Love of Money and this disco just got hot.
C'mon H-town...let's light this candle.

Casting Aspersions
Some random casting thoughts:
For a Robert Frost biopic and/or film wherein Robert Frost appears, I would go with James Fox (or his brother Edward, for that matter). Were the Brothers Fox not available, Michael Moriarty with a wig would work -- there's something reminiscent of Frost in his eyes.
If anyone needs a Hitler in the next few years, I'm thinking Michael Emerson from Lost. He's an excellent actor (Emmy lock this year?), and the eyes and mouth line up for me. Stick a toothbrush 'stache on the man, and you've got your cinematic "Biggest Jerk Ever".

Terminator VS. Star Trek
Things wrong with Terminator Salivation:
1.) Christian Bale needs to go see a throat doctor or oncologist. Seriously, I'm worried about the kid.
2.) Open heart/ heart transplant surgery in the desert. C'mon guys.
3.) Where in the hell are they getting all these submarines, A-10s, morphine, and firearms? Wouldn't the machines IMMEDIATELY wreck shop on all that stuff like 10 minutes after they nuked the planet?
4.) What happened to the laser canons from T1 & T2?
5.) Wasn't Bryce Canyon Dallas Texas Howard a veterinarian when she was played by Claire Danes in the last one? Is it an easy jump from cleaning dog teeth to performing major organ transplants in the desert? Because I need work, and I'm pretty sure I can clean dog teeth.
6.) How does Nick Stahl morph into Christian "tracheotomy talker" Bale? No amount of growl-talking, battling and sexing BCDTH can do that to a man.
7.) A Terminator picture without Arnold is...kind of like an Indiana Jones picture without Harrison. You're sort of missing the point.
8.) Why would the Machines be harvesting people? Did they watch the Matrix too many times? Are they just bored? Seriously, just wipe out the meat bags and be done with it.
9.) There is never a compelling primary villain.
10.) It didn't need to exist.
Thing right with T4:
1.) Anton Yelchin's killer, dead-on mini Michael Biehn. The kid is the goods.
Things wrong with Star Trek:
1.) It's too awesome.
2.) Bruce Greenwood almost causes an implosion from his effortless cool (he should have been the next Harrison Ford when Harrison Ford retired from being Harrison Ford after Clear & Present Danger.) Harrison Ford sounds like the name of a car dealership.
3.) Uhura should have been in every frame.

Frederick Reginald Ironside
First, he fought The Visitors.
Then, he fought The Tom Cruise.
Later on, he fought The Bugs.
This summer, he fights The Bale AND The Machines.
He's Michael Ironside, and he's replacing Chuck Norris in all my Chuck Norris jokes.
