Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 It's the principle of the thing Even setting aside the appropriateness, Zombie is a worthless mediocre filmmaker who managed one semi-amusing trashy gorefest (Devil's Rejects) in a career of crap. And man his wife is such a horrible actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see this. It looks similar to Bombshell but without the 'theatrics' if you understand. Carey Mulligan is a terrific actress and I'm glad she is getting more work. I still think she should have won an Oscar for Promising Young Woman over McDormand for Nomadland. And Zoe Kazan also is great. The supporting cast is very big with some cool standouts. Excited!

JNHFan2000 2,961 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Thought someone would say that. I have a deep dislike for Nomadland as a film. So that's the main reason. Also I like McDormand a lot and I thought her Oscar for Fargo was deserved. But her other 2, for me, should have gone to Sally Hawkins or Saoirse Ronan and Mulligan.

She's been churning out performances fairly consistently ever since I first encountered her in the BBC's Bleak House in 2005! I suspect she gets as much work as she wants... I'm inclined to agree with your preference for her perfomance in Promising Young Woman over McDormand's in Nomadland, at least insofar as the latter seems like the sort of thing McDormand can do in her sleep. If I had to pick a winner from that year, though, I'd sooner choose from a slew of great overlooked performances such as Elizabeth Moss in Shirley, Carrie Coon in The Nest, Morfydd Clark in Saint Maud, Jasna Đuričić in Quo Vadis, Aida? and Sally Hawkins in Eternal Beauty. Maybe even Aubrey Plaza in Black Bear. JNHFan2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same kind of ambition, the same kind of 'bigger is better' mentality, the same kind of wanting to do too much, and at the same time wanting to be funny.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Apparently the trailer for Nope doesn't do the film justice according to early review. 1941 is a fun fine movie worthy of its criticisms but worth many accolades.

Jay 37,355 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Within a month or less of each other, I saw Sarah Gadon in Black Bear and Alias Grace, and was kind of blown away by her acting skills. Unfortunately, I've never seen her in anything else since! Does she need a better agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glóin the Dark 1,220 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I've seen her in a bunch of other things - small parts in Cronenberg films, more substantial roles in Enemy, Belle and Indignation, and most recently a co-leading role in American Woman (which, unfortunately, is a pretty bland film) - but nothing else where she has as much to do as in either Black Bear or Alias Grace. Her Northern Irish accent in Alias Grace is remarkably good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Yea Alias Grace overall wasn't a super great miniseries, but she was very very good in it And the difference I was seeing in her in that role compared to Black Bear showed me what an impressive range she had!

rough cut 1,714 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I think Tom Hanks is a fine actor, but I’ve not enjoyed him in a movie for a long time - to no fault of his own, though. I recognize the problem is mine (“it’s not you, it’s me”) but he comes across as such Hollywood royalty at this point, a prop piece who is chosen to be in a movie to give it an air of legitimacy - rather than that he was actually the best choice for the role (or so it seems to me at least) - that I get tired just seeing his name on a poster.
