Taylor Kitsch in Battleship

By Square on August 29, 2012 in Actors

Despite the massive flop of “John Carter“, Taylor Kitsch still has all the right ingredients to be Hollywood’s next leading man – he just needs something really amazing like a starring role in Scorcese’s next film, at least 15 rom coms a year (aka the Ryan Reynolds route) or better yet a prominent role in my bed. While I did force myself to sit through another CGI bomb that is “Battleship” and there wasn’t any skin scenes of the Swedish kind – this brief shirtlessness from Taylor Kitsch is basically what made me stay. Now that you’ve seen the caps, perhaps you’d want to sit this one out. You’re welcome.

Taylor’s hot, but I can’t believe they had that hunk of man meat known as Alexander Skarsgård and did nothing with him. It’s a tragic lost on their part.

to Squarehippies-

i do agree with you that Taylor K, is as i put it
hunkalicious. but i wish people would stop
referring to “John Carter” as a massive flop.
i’m betting the vast majority of people who refer
to the film using that term probably haven’t
even seen it. everyone i personally know who
has seen the film like i do find it a tad overblown
but overall quite entertaining especially since
Taylor is sort of barechested for most of the
film. i find “John Carter” much better than any
of the three “Transformers” films which are only
thought of in good terms because they made
a truck load of cash at the box office not because
people actually regards them as good films.

also a bit of info. the vast majority of big studio
big budget action/adventure films barely break
even at the U.S. box office.

@Christopher I hear you, I think I should start using “from what I’ve read” or “according to my sources” before anything.

Taylor does nothing for me, at least in the looks
dept he doesn’t even bring my needle off of zero.
To each his own.

to Squarehippies-

i thank you for your reply . i know that “John Carter” didn’t exactly
set the box office on fire but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was
in fact a bad film.

take for instance the much loved film “The Wizard of Oz”. when it
was released by MGM Sept. of 1939 it got generally good reviews
but the public never really bit. since movie studios still owned the
theaters at this point MGM kept the film in its theaters as long as
possible with different ad campaigns to perk the public’s
attention but they still didn’t bite. the film only became the
beloved classic it is after its first airing on t.v. in 1955.

@Christopher I completely get your point about John Cater, but you also have to look at the fact that commercially John Cater was a total flop. When you add up all the promotion that started early last year, and the films timing the fact that it didn’t reach at the very least 300 million worldwide on a 250 million budget with added promotion funds is a disaster. I saw the film, and it was honestly entertaining, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that the film was indeed a flop, and likely won’t become a classic like say a Wizard of Oz.

Whether deserved or not, John Carter has a reputation as a “flop.” I went to see it only because Taylor is in it, and as Christopher mentioned, he’s barechested through most of the movie. I enjoyed it for the most part, but with all we know of Mars today, I had a really hard time with the suspension of disbelief. I think the producers were trying to stay true to the source material but the story needed some updating. Still, Taylor Kitsch shirtless for 2 hours made up for the plot problems.

Square, you forgot another option. A sequel to The Covenant.

John Carter was a surrpisingly good movie. They didn’t decide to promote it, but to me it was a lot better than a lot of the shit that gets put out of Hollywood. Maybe not enough to say it was great or something, but soildly good. And Taylor is hot

I have yet to see John Carter-but with a near naked hunk like Taylor what’s not to like…OK yes I’m a bit ‘superficial’…And just whom does that delicious butt in the white shorts belong too?…
Phil on August 30th, 2012 at 8:23 am

OK and the Appendix scar makes Taylor just that much more ‘real’…
Christopher on August 30th, 2012 at 10:53 am

hello again-

i’m not saying “John Carter” will in the future be considered a
classic per se. my point was its a much more entertaining film
than its reputation. granted it didn’t set the box office on fire
but just because a film does doesn’t mean its any good. look
at the three ‘Transformers” films they are thought of in the
film biz as *successful* films simply because they made a
truck load of cash and for no other reason.

Nice body, but TERRIBLE face. Bleh…
Joe Meyers on August 31st, 2012 at 12:28 pm

Hey Square: Agree on the obscuring of Mr. Kitsch’s assets in “Battleship.” But you should check out his follow-up film, “Savages,” in which he spends quite a bit of time shirt- and pant-less (even in the opening credits!)
Donn on August 31st, 2012 at 12:52 pm

Is that cum on his belly or a scar?
Chuck on August 31st, 2012 at 8:10 pm

The stringy, rat-tail hair has to go. Until then, meh.
Steve on September 1st, 2012 at 9:43 am

Have to agree with Chuck. Taylor has a nice lean body but he desperately needs a good haircut. Letting the hair on his head get out of control in order to make up for the lack of manly hair below the neck is not a good strategy. That’s true even though the smooth chest came from his genes and not from a razor; therefore not his fault) .
Nick on September 10th, 2012 at 4:24 am

In a way, he’s kind of hot and not hot at the same time.
