I'm frankly amazed someone can fall as far as he has. Were there just not any roles after LOTR for him? There had to be something. Elijah Wood is doing some fairly good indie films lately.

I think it's kind of "Sidekick Syndrome," a term for all I know I just made up. Elijah and Viggo get roles in Jonathan Safran Foer adaptations and David Cronenberg movies, but Orlando, Sean and Rhys-Davies went right back to what they were doing before, which wasn't a lot. Same can be said for Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean (again, sorry Orlando) and probably a lot of other movies. For whatever reason, we still see Astin's face as Mikey or Samwise, but don't necessarily think of Elijah is "Frodo," just the guy who played Frodo in the movie. I dunno. Star Wars is an exception I guess, depending on who you thought the true protagonist of the original trilogy was..

I think of Elijah as Frodo. My theory is that it's less to do with who's the sidekick and who's not, or even who's the guy we most remember from the movie (in those instances where the sidekicks wind up being more interesting than the lead e.g. Han from Star Wars). Rather, it's simply a matter of whether the actor did anything else that's even half as memorable as his or her Big Role. Actors like Jim Carrey, Johnny Depp, DeNiro, or Jackie Chan, they've given so many memorable performances that it's impossible to see them as just one character. But Luke is Luke. Weasley is Weasley. And Sam is Sam, probably forever.

Well, there were those Sky TV Discworld movies, which I enjoyed but im sure did not payout a whole lot. And hes been in some TV, I think?

According to IMDB, he has been in such memorable films as Balto III, My Wife Is Retarded, and The Hero of Color City, that anthropomorphic crayon movie which was posted here last week.

i think it also has to do with being really Christian. He's probably someone who won't take rolls with excessive cussing, or something like that. He has been in a couple explicitly christian films now

Are you talking about the David Cronenberg "Crash" or the other one?

The shit one with all that "Move Bitch" rapper.

Aw, man.

0:20: "Hey this does kinda look like Crash! Maybe it'll give a good objective look at something that is often seen as either a yes or no question.."

1:15: "Nope"

So will they have a scene where they screw each other's crucifixion leg-scars?

that was a pretty hot movie in all honesty

Hell yeah it was! I saw it when I was twelve, which in retrospect was probably a bad idea.

That "this cross is gonna cost you!" chick is really cute; I hope she gets to be leg-girl.

Apparently, she was also on Veggietales, so I guess that makes her like the Tara Strong of Christians!

She reminds me of a blonde Crystal Lowe, so I bet she'd be into that sort of thing.

How has no one yet congratulated this comment?

Because we don't want him to prophet from wordplay.

you can appreciate something without having to communioncate it overtly for Christ's sake!

It's interesting. I used to work at an Episcopal church so it's a little different (Thanks Henry the 8th (!?!,)) but their slogan is "if you're looking for god, just look inside.." something along those lines. And I know that's a line in an Arcade Fire song, but they said it first. If it wasn't for the corny trailer music I would probably see this. What I did for the Church had nothing to do with religion, rather it was a needle exchange program and food pantry. I couldn't given less of a fuck what people were doing on Sunday, but the door was always open.

Sounds like a great church actually!

Remember when she took a dick in the eye from a glory hole in that one movie? I miss her.

Except 'God's Not Dead' was one of the most exclusive, hateful movies I've ever seen, so I'm not sure how a followup by the same people would be any different.
