He probably signed onto 13 Hours thinking it would turn him into another Chris Pratt type. Krasinski seems quite desperate to be an A list movie star. A few years back he did that awful Oscar bait movie Promised Land with Matt Damon. It flopped hard. I can understand Krasinksi's desperation because he's married to Emily Blunt and they pal around with A list movie stars. Years ago, Entertainment Liar ran a blind that Blunt didn't want to attend the Emmys with Krasinksi because she didn't get along with anyone in The Office cast. I believed there was some truth to that and I think it was really a case of Blunt not wanting to be around with people who mostly do television work. If Krasinksi doesn't rise up to A list level there will be a divorce in a few years.

He was my least favorite part of The Office and same with Jenna Fischer. I get that Pam and Jim were the "straight men" of the comedy. But they were both too dull and their romance was lame. There was more spark with the Ryan/Kelly romance and the on and off again relationship of Andy and retarded Erin.

From Variety:
Kevin Hart and Ice Cube’s cop sequel “Ride Along 2” will top the box office over the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday weekend, with studio estimates projecting the laffer will have taken in $38 million by Monday’s end.
“Ride Along 2” nabbed $12 million on Friday from 3,175 locations. The Universal comedy, a follow-up to the 2014 original, which grossed $135 million at the domestic box office, kicked off the weekend with a take of $1.26 million in Thursday night previews, portending a healthy four-day total.
Just behind “Ride Along 2” is Fox’s survivalist drama “The Revenant,” which pulled in $9 million from 3,559 locations on Friday, putting it on track for a four-day haul of $37 million. The brutal epic was nominated for a year-best 12 Oscars, including nods for best picture, director Alejandro Inarritu and lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
In third place for the weekend is “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which generated $6 million on Friday from 3,822 locations in its fifth frame. The space opera will finish the four-day period with $32 million, which will push its domestic cume well past $850 million, further securing its position as the biggest stateside grosser ever. Paramount’s war drama “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” should finish behind “Force Awakens.” The Michael Bay pic took in $6 million Friday from 2,389 sites, suggesting a four-day total around $18 million. The controversial film has not been without its detractors; a CIA spokesman called it a “distortion of the events and people who served in Benghazi that night.”

More pathos (as in "ewww.")
Jenna Fischer was 'genuinely in love' with 'Office' costar John Krasinski
Jim and Pam forever! Jenna Fischer has admitted that her love for costar John Krasinski was real during their time on NBC's "The Office."
Fischer, who appeared on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live!" on Wednesday to promote her new NBC series "You, Me and the Apocalypse," shared that her chemistry with her costar wasn't merely good acting.
"John and I have real chemistry," she told a caller. "There's like a real part of me that is Pam and a real part of him that's Jim. And those parts of us were genuinely in love with one another."
The Dunder-Mifflin pranksters-turned-parents, who set relationship goals for people in and out of the workplace, spent nine seasons tugging on our heartstrings with their prolonged courtship, subsequent marriage and foray into parenthood. However, Fischer also said that despite their chemistry, she and her costar weren't totally compatible.
"In real life, we aren't totally Pam and totally Jim. So in real life, we're not like the perfect match," the 41-year-old said. "It's a really complicated thing. He was like a type of spouse that I had for a long time. He was my partner and we will always be close because of it."
Incidentally, the actors both got married in July 2010 — but not to each other. Fischer wed writer-director Lee Kirk in Malibu on July 3 and Krasinski married "Sicario" star Emily Blunt in Italy about a week later.
The mother of two also dished to host Andy Cohen and his viewers that Krasinski was the "most fun" on set and said she approved of his new buff physique for the Benghazi drama "13 Hours."
"It's incredible. He looks good. He looks really, really good," Fischer said.

This really makes me want to see Leo lose the Oscar. It is not like you need to invite him to party with you afterwards, but when a lone person is sitting at your table, at least make him feel welcome. I don't think Leo is a horrible actor, but I think he is overrated and have never quite understood why he became the big star of his generation. It seems like Leo thinks he is as great as his fans do.

I admit I think Ryan Reynolds is a good looking despite the bland personality and his acting. Krasinksi is still ugly even after getting buff. Krasinski seems to want to be A list movie star on the level of Clooney and Damon. Steve Carell ended up having luck in movies and maybe Krasinski thought the same could happen to him.

Krasinski is represented by the same guy who reps Damon and Affleck and Bale, Patrick Whitesell. But ultimately, Krasinski should stick to Television and make his fortune. He is likable but not a movie star. and not a talented director.

He should give up. Nobody's interested.

Being married to Emily Blunt is what is driving him to attempt a huge movie career. It won't pan out.

Jenna Fischer has turned in the drab pencil skirts and cardigans for a yellow prison jumpsuit.
Three years after ending her nine-season run as everyone's favorite receptionist on "The Office," Fischer returns to NBC in the daffy dramedy "You, Me and the Apocalypse."
As the title hints, the sci-fi series centers on a an eclectic group of characters (which include Rob Lowe as a priest and Megan Mullally as a white supremacist convict) around the world whose lives intersect in unexpected ways as they struggle with the impending apocalypse after a comet is predicted to hit Earth.
Fischer plays Rhonda, a librarian who finds herself in prison and the unlikely sidekick to Mullally's Leanne.
The miniseries is a co-production from NBC and Britain’s Sky 1 network. After debuting in the U.K. almost four months ago, it is now its second week into its stateside launch. The series airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
The Times spoke to Fischer this week during a break from her filming of a guest arc on "Mysteries of Laura." (She'll also soon appear on Lowe's Fox series, "The Grinder"). Read on to see what she had to say about her initial impression of "You, Me and the Apocalypse," and her thoughts on how her statements regarding "The Office's" Jim and Pam spun out of control.
Tell me, Jenna, that when you hear a premise like the one for “You, Me and the Apocalypse,” the initial reaction is,”um, what?" -- am I right?
Right? I had taken a long break because after “The Office” I did some off-Broadway theater in New York. Then I got pregnant with my daughter and took a long maternity leave, you know, to enjoy that time with her. Then I sort of put the word out that I was looking for work and I got sent this script and I read it and I remember telling my husband, "this is the weirdest show I’ve ever read … but I love it." He asked me to explain it to him, so I started to — "well, there’s this guy, but he also has an evil twin; then there’s this priest at the Vatican and an Italian nun; I play a convict, but I didn’t really do it; then there’s a white supremacist convict who shackled herself to my leg." My husband was like, “what are you talking about? This is the wackiest thing I’ve ever heard.” It was like how you meet somebody at a party and you have a small conversation with them and you can’t stop thinking about them — I got a little crush on this show.

I have to admit, it was hard for me at first. You don’t strike me as a Rhonda.
I know, it was a little weird. I’ve been identified as Pam for so many years, so it was weird to be called another character name. It was always weird when I would be doing movies and I would play someone whose name wasn’t Pam or Jenna. So, yeah, Rhonda.
The show is an hour long — did it feel any different? Or not so much since it’s broken up and you don’t have to worry about serving as background?
This was far less work than “The Office.” The nature of how we produced those shows, we were in every scene. We worked about 12-13 hours each day because even if you weren’t speaking in a scene, you were seen in the background. It was a heavy work week. But with this show, because there are so many people and so many different stories that if you weren’t shooting your storyline, you had time off. It was very often that I only worked one or two days at a time. And also, I would have weeks off at a time. When they were shooting all the scenes at the Vatican, I’m not there. I had something like five weeks off to just be in London and enjoy my family. When I was younger and single and not a mother, I would pick work that was most exciting to me on a creative level. Well, now, for me, the first filter is, is this a healthy, exciting choice for me and my family, and then is it an exciting, creative opportunity.
On first meeting, once we realize why she’s in prison, Rhonda seems very in keeping with what people identify you with. But I imagine that might change?
Yeah, as the series goes on, she’s going to do a lot of things that I don’t normally get cast to play. I’m going to do a lot of illegal and immoral things because it’s the end of the world and when the world is going to end, reasonable people do unreasonable things when they have a goal. And my goal is very intense: I want to see my son and my husband before we all die. And I’m willing to do anything to make that all happen. I get to do stunts and be in shootouts. I take someone hostage at one point. I never get asked to do stuff like that because no one wants to see Pam doing that! So it was fun. And I’m traveling with a bad influence, a person who is very wishy washy about law breaking. So she’s going to rub off on me a little bit. There are actually going to be times when Megan’s character is going to be the voice of reason.
I want some fan fiction that features Rhonda and the cast of “Orange is the New Black.”
I’ve never seen “Orange is the New Black,” but I read the book. I read the book when I got cast in this show because it’s such a perfect handbook to explain what prison might be like for a person like Rhonda. Rhonda is trying very hard to follow the advice of that book — not aligning with a group that’s too extreme. She’s not doing very well, is she? I’m trying to figure out who is the Red in this show. I need my Red.
I also wonder, if this was in the same universe as “The Office,” how would the folks at Scranton react? Like, you know Dwight is so ready for the apocalypse.
Oh, this is right in Dwight’s wheelhouse. I’m certain he has an underground bunker. But I’m also certain that, like, Michael is not wanting us to leave work. He’s somehow wanting us all to be contained so we can all be best friends when the end of the world comes.

Would you want to know if the end was imminent? I don’t think I could handle it.
It’s so hard to say. I think yes, I think I would. Because I think I would want to be with the people I love the most at the very end. If there was any circumstance where, for whatever reason, you don’t want to grab that cup of coffee or drop your kid off at school, if the world is going to end in two hours. So, yeah, I think I would want to know so we could all be together.
Do you find that you think about it more since being on the show — like, what you would do?
You know what makes me think more about it is my son is really into space and science. We took a tour of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena and learning a lot more things about the asteroid belt and dwarf planets and various moons and gravity and gravitational pull and like, why doesn’t the moon fall on us—
Oh, see, all that stuff freaks me out when you really stop to think about it. But it’s so fascinating and you just keep reading and searching all night long.
Exactly! I think this idea that a meteor could come to Earth — that it is possible, it’s kind of freaky if you think about it too much.
There’s the possibility that this could come for a second season, right? It’s not a limited series.
Yes, there’s definitely the opportunity for a second season— there may not be an opportunity for the world to exist in that second season, but there’s definitely room for more seasons.
And I have to ask, because I saw your appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” and I did not understand why your statements about John Krasinski and the Jim-Pam relationship became this huge thing. Were you surprised by how that became such a thing?
Oh my gosh. Right? I don’t really want to talk about that anymore because I just … it was strange. I’ve been asked what I thought about the chemistry so many times. People are always very curious about the chemistry between John and I and the love story between Jim and Pam. All I was trying to say is the love that all the viewers felt at home between Jim and Pam, we felt it too. Everyone on set felt it. We knew that we had something special — that Jim and Pam were something special. That’s all I was really trying to say. It’s so funny because I did an interview with Terry Gross on NPR and I answered the question the same way and I did a talk show when “The Office” wrapped and I answered the question the same way, so I don’t know what happened this time. It’s hard to explain how actors can make it look a certain way but then in real life, it’s not that way. And so I was just trying to say how it was possible. Because you really do put yourself into the role, but it’s not your real life at the same time. It’s a hard question to answer in one sentence because it’s complicated. But, yeah, the words I chose to explain it were easily misconstrued.
Well, when we ask you for a revival of “The Office” in 10 years, you can put it all back to use — because you know we’ll be asking for it.
That would be so cute. It might be the Cece and Philip show.
You know, when was in London, we didn’t have a television. We had Netflix. Remember that “Dinner Party” episode? Michael has this teeny, tiny television set mounted in his living room. I got to London and in my trailer they had mounted a teeny, tiny television set up on the wall just like in “Dinner Party.” I took a picture of it and I sent it to the cast of “The Office.” I was like, “Guys, It’s ‘Dinner Party’ in real life!’ We were all making jokes about the episode in this big group email. So when I went home that night, I was like, “I gotta Netflix that.” So I watched it, and it was like so weird and powerful to me. As I was watching it, I was thinking, “I can’t believe that’s really me. I can’t believe I was there.” It’s just so funny and it brought back so many memories of us cracking up behind the scenes. So I too, catch old episodes of “The Office.” And now I’m hoping this lightning in a bottle thing can happen again. I mean, I’m on a show with Rob Lowe and Megan Mullally.

He's probably thinking that if Clooney could do sitcoms and go A-list, so can he. Trouble is, none of his family is famous.

Krasinski could also be hoping to be another Chris Pratt type. But, I think Pratt's big movie star career will only last a few years.

Actors who do series TV almost never cross over into film. Clooney's one of the very rare exceptions. People only see them as their character. Jon Hamm is notably failing at getting a movie career. Cranston may have got an Oscar nom, but his movie didn't even make $8 million at the box office. A sure sign people won't pay to see TV actors they can see for free, in movie theaters.

Krasinski is not as good looking as Clooney, by a long shot. Also, by putting himself next to much bigger stars than he is makes him look more like a supporting player.

Yeah Eva Longoria is another kiss ass. She is bigger attention whore than Krasinksi. Longoria has probably realized that she will never be an A list movie star. Her NBC show will be probably be canned soon. Luckily, the Lifetime show that she is producing is doing well. Longoria is pretty racist towards white people as well, but she kisses ass to many to keep going in the business.
