A Letter to Ryan Reynolds

    by Mike Agnew Jr.

Dear Ryan,

My name is Mike Agnew and I have something very dear to ask you, but first I would like to say a few things.  I have included pictures so you can remember along with me.

Now I have been with you since the beginning.  Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza place was a long name for a show and I bet that had something to do with it's success.  However when they shortened it to Two Guys and a Girl.....I missed the pizza place.  I guess you just don't know what you got till it's gone.  I definitely remember a feeling that the show jumped the shark.  I remember your character ended up becoming a doctor or something and then there was no fun left in the show.

But none of that matters because then you hit stardom with your roll....... VAN WILDER.

I loved Van Wilder.  I thought it was the perfect break out movie for you.  Everyone wanted to be your character in college; riding around in a golf cart, knowing everything about woman, and gaining the adoration of the entire student population.  Also doing a movie with Tara Reid before her ab re-arranging must have been pretty amazing.  What is Kumar like in person?  Is he really as smart as everyone says?

Van Wilder was the role that was made for you.  Your quick wit, subtle coolness, and ability to draw out a lot of silent joke and reaction humor matched perfectly with this character.  I think this acting also translates into many romantic comedies too: Just Friends and Definitely Maybe being a couple.  I enjoyed both of these movies even though they bordered on chick flicks.  "It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win."  Haha Awesome.  At the end of Just Friends did you sing that song in one take?  It looks like you did cause you missed some of the words but that's cool.  It makes it more real just like the music videos I used to do when I was younger.  (check out my agnewsmind blog).

I also saw Amityville Horror.  I really liked the original and I had hoped this would just be an updated and more enjoyable rendition.  What I got was an extreme version of the original.  Everything was TO THE EXTREME.  In the scene with the flies, it became flies TO THE EXTREME.  In the scene with the blood, it was blood TO THE EXTREME.  It should have just been called Amityville Horror :Extreme Edition.  I liked how crazy you got in that movie. You were scary.  There was just one thing I would have changed and that is the contacts that you wore every time you went crazy in the movie...it was kind of like watching Thriller.

Anyway....there is a reason for this letter.  I need to ask you something.  We have had a really good really healthy movie star-fan relationship and I want that to continue.  I have been burned in the past by some others (T. Burton, H. Ledger, T.Office).  I want what we have to continue.  I read the other day that you have take up the role of the Hal Jordan Green Lantern.  Now I think you really deserve a good comic book role.  And I have no issue with you being the face of both a Marvel and a DC character.  I hope you do great things with the Deadpool movie.  I never read Deadpool and frankly know nothing about him but I welcome your portrayal and hope that it does the comic justice.  I am going to ignore the Wolverine movie as that was just a terrible movie all around.   So you have a clean slate.  Blade III was a little iffy too but that series of movies was going down hill fast and if you ever watched them in HD...wow...they are the perfect example of action movies they get worse when up-converted.

Green Lantern is a great mantle and the great thing about it is there is an almost limitless amount of Green Lanterns that you could be but Hal Jordan just isn't one of them.  If you have ever looked at the comics...you just don't look like him.  If anybody he looks just like Dennis Quad.

I think this might be a good way to give a tip of the cap to the comic book community and name another role you would want to play.  I mean jeez I would think you playing the Flash or actually Booster Gold would be perfect for you.  Sure he is a mid-carder but he was the first one on the scene when Doomsday, the guy who killed superman, came around.  He held him off till Superman arrived.  he also played a huge role in the recent 52 series.  It just fits better and I hope you would consider it.

Thanks for listening.

Your Friend and Fan,

Mike Agnew Jr.

P.S. - My girlfriend thinks your hot.
