I think he had a couple of good nuanced moments as Thranduil. But I really wish he'd get out of the SFX-heavy blockbusters and back to doing quirky dramedies like Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day or the Bryan Fuller series.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Ronan was a pretty thankless role.

The writing certainly did him no favors, but I think there are some actors (or maybe just BRIAN BLESSED!!!1!) in whose hands the role would have been entertaining and compelling even as cartoonishly drawn as Ronan was.
On topic, I'ma hit up OnDemand for a look at Lee on The Mindy Project, where I bet his talents are put to much better use.

He did have that one great moment where Ronan is thoroughly bemused at being challenged to a dance-off, but mostly, as said, a pretty thankless role.

I guess they announced it last Tuesday, I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't catch that.

Didn't expect to like it, but "Galavant" tickles me.

I was just going to ask if anyone was watching Galavant. I want to like it, but I just don't. Maybe because the songs are bad.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I am loving the ridiculousness of Galavant, with the exception of Ricky Gervais, because a.) Ricky Gervais, and b.) they should have cast Tim Minchin instead.
