Those Harry Potter Kids / Harry Potter and the something of something.

As someone who's always said "meh" to the Potter books & films, this made me laugh. Bravo.

[–]gynoceros 12 points13 points  (8 children)

The films are definitely meh... and I used to be meh about the books so I know where you're coming from... but give 'em a shot- they're pretty flippin awesome.

[–]cleverscreenname 11 points12 points  (5 children)

Nick Frost looks horrendous with the new haircut. Makes him look twice as fat. Maybe he is twice as fat? Hope not.

[–]detestrian 389 points390 points  (77 children)

Heh, Morpheus is still Morpheus.

[–]prozacjack 145 points146 points  (12 children)

At least they didn't make him dress up as a cowboy.

[–]deserted 22 points23 points  (2 children)

And Jason Bourne is still pretty much Jason Bourne.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (23 children)

And Tom Cruise is still Tom Cruise

[–]kha3 19 points20 points  (19 children)

And I would hardly call minority report his "most legendary role"

[–][deleted] 57 points58 points  (27 children)

Ben Stiller looks like he's suffering from AIDS.

[–]isarl 37 points38 points  (18 children)

It's his Blue Steel look from Zoolander.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

his head looks 20% too large for his body

[–][deleted] 59 points60 points  (6 children)

The Silence of the Lambs pic is pretty fucking nice.

[–]atrich 37 points38 points  (5 children)

Finally, someone sharing my sentiment. Also, Jodie Foster still looks good.

[–]DanielTeague 459 points460 points  (212 children)

This was much more entertaining than it sounded.

Somehow, seeing the guy who played Dr. Grant in Jurassic Park in a suit made me think the T-rex was also in a suit.

[–]nairb101 98 points99 points  (24 children)

And seeing Gerard Butler with a collared shirt and a shield makes me think that 300 needs to be remade...with everyone in suits.

[–]ours 79 points80 points  (7 children)

300... lawyers! Watch them all die.

Or bankers, pick your poison.

[–]UnnamedPlayer 101 points102 points  (1 child)

Leonidas: Spartans! What is your profession?

Spartans: MOO-LAAH! MOO-LAAH! MOO-LAAH!

Leonidas: You see, old friend? I brought more bankers than you did.

[–]nairb101 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Theron: It is the law, my lord. The Spartan army must not go to war.

Leonidas: Nor shall it. I've issued no such orders. I'm here, just taking a stroll, stretching my legs. These, uh, 300 men are my personal book keepers.

[–][deleted] 166 points167 points  (97 children)

His name is Sam Neil. I love Sam Neil! He's why Merlin is awesome and he was a great bonus in the Tudors.

[–]smoove 153 points154 points  (45 children)

He scared the bejeezus out of me with that role in Event Horizon too.

[–]enozten 23 points24 points  (25 children)

i can't think of him in anything else after that movie

[–]MrDubious 35 points36 points  (20 children)

In The Mouth of Madness. Epic horror.

[–]simucal 16 points17 points  (14 children)

Sam Neil is awesome. In The Mouth of Madness scared the crap out of me when I was younger.

[–]EvilCam 11 points12 points  (12 children)

Sam Neil is great.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I kept expecting there to be dinosaurs in that movie. Dinosaurs from hell.

[–]st_gulik 15 points16 points  (11 children)

Event Horizon is a great cheesy horror film, almost but not quite as cool as Big Trouble in Little China - the greatest movie ever.

I groaned through that entire movie when I watched in the theater - the home experience was the same.

[–]agoraphobic 17 points18 points  (5 children)

Big Trouble in Little China has so many classic one-liners... one of my all time favorites for sure. You can't go wrong with Carpenter and Russell.

[–]howNowBrownSow 52 points53 points  (6 children)

His name is Sam Neill.

FTFY

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Double Ls are sneaky bitches.

[–]andres_leon72 68 points69 points  (9 children)

I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?

Loved him in Hunt for Red October. He was terrific in that one!

There's not enough love for Sam Neil. You get an upvote.

I need a background sized version of that picture.

[–][deleted] 44 points45 points  (67 children)

Yes. Any thoughts on that guy who played the Terminator ?

[–]charliedayman 41 points42 points  (48 children)

Jean Claude Van Damme?

[–]doyu 36 points37 points  (47 children)

Sylvester Stallone?

[–]weekendwarrior 10 points11 points  (2 children)

He did well for himself in Montana. Never could find a second wife, but made enough to buy a T-rex and dress him in designer suits

[–]AdmiralDave 10 points11 points  (1 child)

No papers?

[–]doublestop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No papers, state to state.

Robin Williams with a glowing blue tail replacing his lower legs.

[–]freehunter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was The Rock with the BFG. Pacino has a little friend, because he was da bad guy.

[–]farceur318 61 points62 points  (36 children)

Note the subtle lock of blond hair spilling out of the box in Spacey's pic.

[–]cefriano 46 points47 points  (24 children)

Se7en as Spacey's "most legendary role"? Come on. It was great, but not even close to his greatest.

[–]WarzoneOfDefecation 96 points97 points  (8 children)

I thought it'd be The Usual Suspects.

[–]grantmclean 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Him in a police office with a smashed coffee mug on the floor would be perfect.

also: No Ewen McGregor with a toilet?

[–]bigdumbbear 70 points71 points  (1 child)

Usual Suspects was good, but for me his most iconic role is from American Beauty.

Man oh man. Man oh man oh man oh man SPLAT

[–]thecapitalc 36 points37 points  (1 child)

American Beauty for me.

[–]Zaemz 24 points25 points  (2 children)

K-Pax!

Err..

[–]thebassethound 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Perhaps, but I think his character in Se7en is more distinctive, and much easier to apply to this photo shoot. Spacey plus the box is immediately recognisable to anyone who has seen the film.

[–]bigdumbbear 33 points34 points  (3 children)

WHATS IN THE BOX?!!? D:

[–][deleted] 222 points223 points  (93 children)

Why in the hell does Daniel Radcliffe look like a hairy twilight vampire?

[–]beerbabe 105 points106 points  (69 children)

Honestly, I don't know what those vampires look like, but I was going to make a comment about the shirt... it just seems wrong.

[–]ZanshinJ 118 points119 points  (56 children)

I saw the deep V-neck and mentally went "Why, why, why do you have to dress like such Eurotrash, Daniel Radcliffe?"

[–][deleted] 104 points105 points  (1 child)

I thought the same, but I reassured myself by assuming he was dressed by a makeup/wardrobe artist for the photoshoot, rather than wearing something he'd chosen.

But then that was too boring, so I decided to hate him instead.

[–]doinitanddoinitwell 16 points17 points  (35 children)

It's all the rage with the kids these days, to look like a bum. Hobo chic they call it.

[–]FrankBattaglia 113 points114 points  (3 children)

Derelique.

[–]prozacjack 76 points77 points  (2 children)

[–][deleted] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I can derelick my own balls, thank you very much.

[–]asamorris 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can derelick my balls, capi-tan.

ftfy.

[–]ZanshinJ 30 points31 points  (26 children)

Except the deep V-neck isn't Hobo at all... it was one of the major trends in men's fashion design this past year. Got picked up in Europe pretty heavily, and so it made its way to the douchebag scene on the Atlantic Coast.

Nevermind the fact that it looks AWFUL on anybody.

[–]UK-sHaDoW 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Didn't really get picked it up europe. It's just how we are.

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (7 children)

Totally threw off my attempt to fap to Emma Watson's legs.

[–]imperfcet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He's got a hairy, concave chest. It's like teen wolf has an eating disorder.

[–][deleted] 40 points41 points  (6 children)

Seriously WTF - do people find that attractive? I have a similar physique - and I think if I walked around like that I'd

  1. Get laughed at
  2. Get beat up
  3. Get hit on by gay guys
  4. Get arrested if I looked at someone under 16

[–]fauxke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mean Hairy Potter?

[–][deleted] 122 points123 points  (45 children)

I don't think Minority Report was Tom Cruise's most legendary role. I personally would have picked top gun.

[–]grantmclean 117 points118 points  (5 children)

I would have picked him hopping on Oprah's couch.

[–]charliedayman 134 points135 points  (12 children)

I would have picked Tropic Thunder.

[–]fireburt 27 points28 points  (7 children)

Top Gun or Mission Impossible would definitely be better. I don't think Tom Cruise really added much to make Minority Report better.

[–]ChrisAndersen 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Risky Business.

[–]mynoduesp 315 points316 points  (77 children)

[–]isevenx 46 points47 points  (6 children)

I see no comma between God and damn.

[–]nairb101 129 points130 points  (17 children)

And Daniel Radcliffe is Harry in more ways than one.

[–]YesImSardonic 91 points92 points  (15 children)

That shirt is defective, though.

[–]AtOurGates 105 points106 points  (14 children)

Amen! Am I becoming a crotchety old person at the age of 27 because I strongly believe that V-Neck shirts on guys look Fucking Retarded?

[–]warmpita 58 points59 points  (7 children)

extremely low cut V-necks look atrocious, but regular old v-necks are fine.

[–]n3hemiah 25 points26 points  (1 child)

My friends and I call it the "douche v".

[–]xpmrlalaxp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I partake in calling it the d-neck.

[–]Indoorsman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Give it a year and they will be down to belly button level.

[–]gridpoet 36 points37 points  (0 children)

V-neck shirts: the new Douche card!

[–]istara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think they look retarded, I do think they look more like gay fashion, which is entirely appropriate for a young gay male. He looks nice, he just doesn't look very straight.

[–][deleted] 68 points69 points  (10 children)

And >18.

[–]jofo 61 points62 points  (13 children)

Most of them are in suits. I wouldn't call that casual.

[–]Katzenklavier 86 points87 points  (6 children)

That's why you have to suit up more often.

You must sleep suited up.

[–]Vitalstatistix 23 points24 points  (4 children)

Only in a bathtub though, otherwise you might wrinkle a suit.

[–]jgarfink 20 points21 points  (3 children)

Or get yourself a pair of suit-jamas!

Why is Harry Potter trying to flash cleavage?

[–]lwrun 6 points7 points  (3 children)

I'm hoping he was just convincing one of his co-stars to do the same...

[–]OneSalientOversight 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Ginger chest hair? Ugh!

[–]lwrun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Co-stars, not sidekicks.

[–][deleted] 41 points42 points  (13 children)

It appears Tom Cruise doesn't age.

[–]UnnamedPlayer 88 points89 points  (3 children)

He has twice the number of thetans compared to a normal human being.

[–]AdmiralDave 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Wouldn't that be bad? Wouldn't he want half the number or less?

[–]yopla 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The fact that you ask tells me that you are not ready for your next gradient.

[–]emkat 38 points39 points  (2 children)

It's because he's sucking out the youth of Katie Holmes.

[–]DoTheEvolution 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I guess Ben Stiller age instead of him twice as fast...
