Mr. T is the bestest
Acting is mostly populated by stars and character actors. Stars make every character into themselves, while character actors vanish into their roles.
Consider previous honorees here at You the Man: Whether it’s Batman or Danny Ocean, George Clooney always plays a smooth professional with no time for amateurs. By contrast, try to picture Gary Oldman. You can’t even do it, can you? All you can think of is Commissioner Gordon or Dracula or the main character in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, George Tinker Tailor Soldier (nobody knew he was secretly a spy).
But precisely once in our lifetime, we’ve enjoyed an actor whose character is himself and whose self is his character. That man would be Laurence Tero Tureaud, a.k.a. Mr. T. And it’s no act; Mr. T is a living superhero. more

…hasn’t Tim Burton made this film like ten times?
Listen, it doesn’t matter the year because summer always follows the same damn formula. Every June needs a Green Lantern. Each July has gotta have its own Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. And all the Augusts I’ve ever known require at least a dose of G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, or something similarly forgettable.
What I’m trying to say here is that though summer typically brings the biggest blockbusters of the year, it also corrals in some of the worst crap, most unoriginal ideas and stupidest sequels known to man. 2012, though featuring some potentially fantastic fare this year, is really no different.
