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.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.
