Joseph Gordon Levitt is a genius

I love this guy. He inspires creativity in others and actually helps them publish their work. Watch the video at link.

He just published a book with stories that everyday people sent in, and it's brilliant. And yes, he is actually paying the writers from the profits.

I love in the video how he talks about being ambivalent about Christmas. he just seems like an all around talented and cool guy.

John Cameron Mitchell said that JGL submitted an audition tape for "Shortbus" and that they almost cast him.

Apparently, JGL did something fairly hardcore (jerking off, maybe?) in the tape, 'cause it's never been released.

I think he's a great actor, and I admit that I've had a fairly big crush on him since his Third Rock days (we're exactly the same age, so he was a teenage crush of mine).

Sorry most up and coming "new" talents are mediocre or OK at best. Dont get the hype about Fassbender, Gosling Levitt - esp. Levitt. He looks stupid and doesn't have charisma or talent! He is just being hyped by PR consultants, agents and studios.

by Anonymousreply 151March 19, 2013 10:22 AM

Fassbender is great.

by Anonymousreply 152March 19, 2013 10:35 AM

I think Fassbender and Tom Hardy are the best of the new breed of actors. Have not seen any films of Ryan Gosling. Joseph Gordon Levitt seems full of himself but he is not as bad as that smug asshole Shia Labeouf. Glad Labeouf's career is in the toilet.

by Anonymousreply 153March 19, 2013 11:24 AM

Levitt took some time off after his sitcom success to go to college and then made a comeback with indie movies. People may find him creepy, but when it comes to his career he made quite a lot of good choices and decisions.

by Anonymousreply 154March 19, 2013 11:34 AM

Fassbenders reputation as a good actor comes from his willingness to play edgy and controversial characters. That does not necessary mean you are a great actor. I would love to see his Brandon role in Shame played by someone like Philip Seymour Hoffman, Javier Bardem or Joaquin Phoenix. Even give Tom Hiddleston a shot at it and I bet all of them were WAY more interesting than Fassbender. He is hype and he has a large cock, not much more.

No R155, it is the fact he has taken on a variety of complex roles and impressed people with all of them. Even in the godawful Prometheus movie his performance was noted by a lot of critics and it was once again a very different role.

I agree about him being a hipster cliche - still, he's adorable.

He was great in Looper. He even seemed to pick up on Willis' inexplicable habit of breaking into a southern accent - sometimes in the same sentence.

Really? It tried three times to watch "Looper". His make-up was ludicrous. He looked nothing like Willis and was ridiculously distracting. The film itself was a big old mess.

Actually Lainy revealed it was JGL in the scared straight blind item which she nicknamed JGL "dimples", at one of her Smut Fest last year, by someone in the audience asking who it was? Her reply which she can never say it flat out, said in response, something about 500 days of summer... And also writing on her site with JGL in the pics about his "dimples"

The item was about Bi JGL being involved with allegedly through estimations by fans it was M. Pitt, but that Pitt became cray cray and it scared JGL back 2 his straight side. With Pitt allegedly threatening to kill himself etc...

Lainey 3/21/12: Scared Straight Both are acclaimed actors. One’s an actor you find super cute. He’s popular and adorable, like dimples and old fashioned dresses. The other’s an actor I find super gross. And dramatic. And full of his own sh-t. He fronts like he’s dark. He’s difficult. The work is often beneath him. The work is often taken away from him because the attitude that it is beneath him is so often intolerable The two had a torrid affair. Which is nothing unusual, of course not. Except that dimples broke up with drama and drama practically had a psychotic break. There was a month-long spiral. A couple of times he came close to really hurting himself. He also threatened to expose them both, though no one is taking that seriously. As a result, his heartbreaker is trying, ignorantly, to go back to the other side of his bisexuality.

Updates: Lainey has eliminated Jake G, James Franco, Matt Morrison

[quote]That collective howl you hear outside right now are straight women who've heard the not-so blind item suggesting reports about Scarlett Johansson's alleged trysts with Joseph Gordon-Levitt were just to cover up the fact he's into guys. The item: "This sexy movie actress and this intense actor have been friends since they were kids. She definitely has a higher profile than he does, but lately he has been landing some big roles as well. When reports about them playing kissy face started to appear recently, it was puzzling because they make for a rather odd match. Well, we have a scoop for you. It's not a real relationship. Just a temporary bearding gig." Normally, this fan fiction is good for nothing more than a giggle, but because it's JGL I'm taking the Scar-Jo Match Point and Scoop movie hints as straight up fact.

Saw him off-Broadway in "Uncle Bob" - his character hooking up with an older man. Add that to "Mysterious Skin" shortly thereafter and his gay role on "That 70s show". If he was just trying to break away from his 3rd Rock character, it seems a bit of overkill.
