Sometimes if I want to watch a movie but the terrible script and or line delivery puts me off, I select a foreign language track and turn on English subtitles. My brain gets more forgiving when the possibility of an awkward translation enters the mix

He puts millions of dollars on the table as a producer to get the movie made with himself as the lead.

“Completely into the character” lol what character

It’s so funny how every time Jared Leto does his method acting in a film, the director and crew have to go out of their way to be like “woah it was so intense, he was so in character, it added so much depth” and then you watch the film and he’s giving the most lazy, no-thought performance possible

"I do address him as Ares when we're filming and everybody goes, we get a little bit up. He's the general walking onto set, which is fine," Ares director Joachim Ronning recently told Screenrant. "And it's not
uncommon for actors to do it like that.
And it works for him. And I think you can feel it in any movie he makes. He's completely into the character."

Don’t recall most of our school field trips, although I remember being on the bus with a packed lunch and boisterous classmates more than once. The one that does stand out was when we went to Cahokia Mounds. It’s even better now, decades later - the interpretive center is great.

Because a human being would have to use photoshop to make it. All Ai image generation is theft of the work of living people who did not consent. As you say, without ai it wouldn’t have existed - and that would be just fine. Its existence is the actual problem.

I really hope you enjoy it! It’s been part of my DNA since seeing it on its first run when I was 18, hope it holds up.

Was 13 then, first time I ever felt let down by a new genre movie. It looked really cool but I couldn’t get involved with the characters or story.

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

You got that right. It’s a sign of how clueless and insulated they are that it wasn’t a problem for them when it came time to take the money.

For close to 50 years I’ve been too grossed out by the Punisher to give him any real thought at all. You obviously don’t need me to tell you, but your whole take on him is impressive and persuasive AF. 🤯🤯🤯
