Hey morphies, for those of you who are interested, I just thought I would give yall a heads up by notifying you that the body swap film Self/Less starring the handsome and lick-a-licious Ryan Reynolds and that bald dude is being released on blu-ray and dvd tomorrow.

When with a girl?

From: guest , 102 months, post #5
Lulz that bald dude.

That bald dude has 4 Oscar nominations and 1 Oscar. Ryan Reynolds has none. Thank you.

And that bald dude is Don Logan which means he wins just on that.

The problem with this film is that you're not at all convinced that Ryan Reynolds has Ben Kingsley's older businessman now driving his body for even one second. It's basically Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds again. You know the amazing work where Tatiana Maslany is playing a multitude of distinctly different people on Orphan Black, especially when one of those people is trying to pretend to be one of the others and never quite getting it perfectly right because their actual personal and physical traits leak through to varying degrees? It's really skillfully done as the audience not only knows when someone's being impersonated, they also know by whom just because of how good the performance is?

This film is exactly the opposite of that.

I don't mean any offense by this but are you sure you're not just a fan of MtF and FtF swaps and dislike MtM swaps and are being overly critical here?

Also who is to say when you swap bodies that you don't also become like that person personality wise. Look at the story Body Switched, when Jason and Jennifer switch bodies Jason becomes more like Jennifer and Jennifer becomes more like Jason.

No ... it's just not well done. From the outset, there's really nothing to suggest that Ryan Reynolds is anything but Ryan Reynolds. He doesn't seem like Ben Kingsley at all. Change personality wise over time is one thing but there's absolutely no sense of gradual change at all.

Accents are a big thing for starters. Your voice would change but you'd retain your accent and without active training to change it, it'd stay that way.

I just watched this on Amazon and I thought it was pretty good. No classic by any means but I liked it. As far as Ryan Reynolds not capturing the personality of the Ben Kingsley character, that could be explained by a part of the training Damien (Ryan) received following the procedure.

The movie WAS predictable but I'm glad I saw it anyway not just for any transfer theme but as a pretty good action movie with a lesson learned at the end.

Didn't Paul Ryan win an oscar for his role in the movie Waiting?

From: guest , 102 months, post #11
Sorry I meant did Ryan Reynolds win a role for his oscar in waiting?

From: guest , 102 months, post #12
God, I can't get this right, did Ryan Reynolds win an oscar for his performance in the movie Waiting?

From: guest , 102 months, post #13
No.

From: guest , 102 months, post #14
Ryan Reynolds is one of the most talented, brightest, creative, and sexy actors out there.
