I think method acting gets a bad rap and people cherry pick examples of actors being abusive to rebuke it when there are far more method actors who can do it without being difficult to be around

Yorgos lanthimos is like a woke Lars von trier & I don't mean that as a compliment

I always feel self-conscious watching stuff like jury duty or company retreat because they portray the main guy as so sweet & charismatic & I know I wouldn't come off that way. Not that I'm an asshole but I wouldn't be so outwardly confident or charming. I would mostly just keep to myself

Slight spoilers for send help & triangle of sadness but it's clear we'll never have a "trapped on a deserted island" movie again because there are no deserted islands anymore

Between Oppenheimer & one battle after another it's clear that if you want that Oscar gold, you better cast Tony Goldwyn

And who already has 2 Oscars

Ryan O'Neal must've been pissed when George C. Scott turned his down

It must be really annoying to lose an Oscar to someone who didn't bother to show up

Someone should write a action movie that's like die hard but at the Oscars

They're definitely very silly movies that I think embrace their silliness

The problem is people are so selective on what counts as stupid or stupid. Like I once heard someone say on a podcast that prestige is their favorite Nolan movie but that it's stupid that it treats magic seriously but why is that stupid & something like death playing chess genius?

I don't like it when someone says they like a movie but it's stupid. There's not much of a difference between that & saying "guilty pleasure" or "so bad it's good". Why can't you like a movie without being self-conscious about it & making sure everyone knows you're smarter than it?

Heard Seth Rogen on blank check pod shit on the ball-chinian joke in men in black 2 as if he hadn't done jokes just as stupid in his movies

People complain about movies being too long but how many miniseries or seasons of TV shows are we going to watch when they could've easily just been 3+ hour movies?

Loved him since David Mamet's heist

For me it's between night of the juggler or vice squad

I can understand someone who enjoys seeing sex on screen but not violence but I don't understand someone who enjoys seeing violence but not sex. There should be as much sex on screen as their is violence. In fact, probably more since sex is generally a good thing that people do more of

A great companion piece with David Ayer's underrated sabotage

It seems the discourse around OBAA is that people wish it was more about politics but that's not what PTA does. He makes personal emotional stories about relationships. OBAA is about politics like the master is about Scientology or phantom thread is about fashion or TWBB is about capitalism

I'm starting to think joke-stealing isn't really a thing. Whenever I hear about a comedian stealing another comedians jokes and you hear the joke, it's not very original anyways

I'm always interested in discussing the pop culture impact or influence of something, but anyone who knows me is well aware that I'm far more interested in the movies that effectively make you a "cult of one." If you live and breathe FROSTBITER: WRATH OF THE WENDIGO, then baby, it's a masterpiece.

It's one of the things that frustrates me about blank check pod is whenever they do the box office game & they talk about a movie they've never heard of they say it doesn't exist. Like if it's not in their bubble, it's not worth remembering

I'm getting tired of people talking about a movie's "cultural impact" as if it's a measure of quality. Just because people aren't constantly talking about a movie or even at all doesn't mean it's bad. By that logic, a lot of low budget Indies are bad

I would've been fine with the actor playing the young George Clooney in Jay Kelly not really looking like him if it wasn't for the movie ending with clips from George Clooney's movies

Remember when The Studio, a show about how stupid executives can be, had Ted sarandos play himself and made him look cool like he's one of the good ones?

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love

I don't really care if celebrities talk about politics or not but it bothers me when celebrities begrudge other celebrities talking about politics & act like they're brave for not speaking out
