Renner the complainer
Even though he’s plain of face, is terminally monotone (in all that he does) & is way out of his league in most anything he’s cast in now, Hurt Locker’s Jeremy Renner complains further of his Avengers role (Hawkeye), according to cinema blend.
Basically, he was cast as the least important (& uninteresting) character of Hawkeye, which “superhero” has either limited or no supernatural powers. What better actor, than the blatant social climber Renner to be cast in this bland character! I mean, he just exists as someone that was in an initial hit movie, which was highly over-rated & not that good. He’s an actor with a career span of about half a decade as far as the big spotlight is concerned & he’ll be forgotten after a while.
His statement on the matter, diplomatically:
I prefer [playing the good version of the character], because if we go to the evil part, or hypnotized or whatever the heck you want to call it, it’s kind of a vacancy. Not even a bad guy, because there’s not really a consciousness to him. The interesting part was being guilty about the bad things I did do when I was hypnotized. I think he’s already an interesting enough character. To really kind of take away who that character is and just have him be this sort of robot,
essentially, and have him be this minion for evil that Loki uses. Again, I could just focus on the task. I was limited, you know what I mean? I was a terminator in a way. So yeah, fun stunts. But is there any sort of emotional content or thought process? No. That doesn’t exist in that time [that he's hypnotized]. It happens to
be for most of the movie.
A nice way of saying he didn’t care for the part. I’ve always had a problem with people that don’t fit in at a party. Not that I’m exclusive/excluding or unfairly tend to not care for people without rationale; but when someone tries too hard, with little to go on, just to get ahead – I call them opportunists. It’s one thing to take advantage of opportunities & it’s another thing to be that as a personality.
The day that I no longer have to hear or see him, is the day I’m looking forward to. Obviously I won’t be seeing the latest Bourne movie that some idiot thought to cast him as lead. Bad moves, insure bad movies.
Cinema is full of actors, with talent, who are not necessarily the most beautiful people. The history of cinema is speckled with actors with no talent or looks; briefly fulfilling a niche & then sputtering out. Thus, Renner’s fate. Of course, it’s my duty to point out the boob, as he falls flat on his face.
I must admit that he doesn’t make a really big impression on me; in fact, each time you talk about him, I have to google him to make sure I understand whom you’re referring to. Seems we have similar tastes, you and I.
I’d thought I would just stop reading this article when you started bashing Mr Renner.. I believe in free speech and you have your opinion.. But I can’t just let this go.. …by the tone of your article, you seem to have some deep seeded jealousy issues with Jeremy…An actor who has been plugging away at something that he loves doing for 20 years.. Have you seen any of his other movies..? You must not have or you would have seen this mans extraordinary acting ability… or maybe you just dont have an eye for real talent. Whatever your opinion is of him, no one can deny that he is a rare breed in Hollywood who is gracious and humble, who doesnt fall into the Hollywood bullshit. Like i said before.. you are entitled to your opinion, its one thing to criticize someone …but your article was just mean. Im sure he doesnt care what you or people say or write about him but he does deserve respect.
He doesn’t deserve my respect – but thank you for your comment. (fyi, The phrase is “deep-seated” not “seeded” for your future reference & usage.)
Extraordinary acting ability? Where? I’d love to see a movie where he displays a modicum of talent! So why not tell me what I’ve missed over these years. For the record, it doesn’t matter how long an actor works on anything, if there’s no talent to begin with, there’s no talent.
deep-seeded
The correct phrase, often confused with the mistaken similar form of “deep-seated”, referring to an issue that has been long-borne inside of a person’s spirit or soul and which may have serious recurrent consequences or impact upon their life.
Interesting to know! Thanks.
The only thing that I liked, which has starred Renner, was the Dahmer thing. He did an excellent portrayal of Jeffrey, without having to get into character with f/x or makeup. Otherwise, my opinion of him since then hasn’t been too keen. I’m a critic, that’s the way the ball bounces.
You’re more than welcome to disagree. Have a great week. Keep in touch.
Since I’m sticking my nose in everywhere:
Deep-seeded almost makes sense in a metaphorical way (though seeds sown too deeply won’t grow), but deep-seated is the term you’re looking for. The phrasal adjective (usually requiring a hyphen) simply indicates that something is seated (in the sense fixed firmly in place) deeply in something else. The OED defines it as having its seat far beneath the surface.
