Dammit, if they don't hurry up and get that film adaption of The Boys moving, Simon Pegg is going to be too old for the lead role.

That comic is fucked. I have a feeling that the more graphic stuff from it will be toned down a bit.

BTW, either Gerard Butler or Ray Stevenson for Billy Butcher.

Yeah, but the superhero genre needs some big screen criticism, which is what The Boys can deliver. The message that the graphic elements of the books convey could be better received if implied rather than shown. After all, Alien was much scarier before the Xenomorph was revealed than after.

BTW, either Gerard Butler or Ray Stevenson for Billy Butcher.

I'd say Stevenson. Butler played a great villain protagonist in Law Abiding Citizen, but he seems a bit too methodical for Butcher. Though Kevin McKidd could pull it off, if one could get past him being Scottish instead of English.

Michael Jai White for Mother's Milk, though. He even looks like the character.

I've just started playing Borderlands 2, and it's pretty awesome. Plus, Handsome Jack is an awesome villain.

You think Kevin McKidd is too Scottish? Gerard Butler is the reason why a whole generation of kids think that ancient Greeks all spoke with thick Scottish brogues. To me, he's one of the few Brits who can't pull off an American accent. (Sean Connery and Jason Statham being another two.)

Which one do you think can do an American accent, Kevin McKidd or Gerard Butler? If you think Kevin McKidd, watch Jorneyman and you'll change your mind.

I have not, but I didn't think it was fair to give Gerard Butler a free pass.

My buddy and I play coop online together, so we're big fans of both GoW and Army of Two, so we're really torn about both franchises releasing new games so close to each other. I think we're just going to go with whichever game gets its price slashed first.

McKidd's accent is a lot thicker than Butler's, though. 300 is the only exception I can think of; he sounds relatively... uh... normal in most of his other films.

Not to imply there's anything abnormal about being Scottish.
