Hey if you don't want the negativity tell the filmmaker to make a better film. That fixes it all
Personally, I love Reeves, always have. But some of his earlier roles are hard to defend.
Baldwin I go back and forth with. I mean he's good overall, but I can see why my teacher had him pegged.
and yes Diaz had always been terrible
Titanic propelled him to superstardom, particularly with the ladies. A lot of males were still skeptical.
Catch me if you can the haters started to warm up to him.
The Departed I feel is the one where everyone was on board.
My theater teachers had it out for Alec Baldwin, Cameron Diaz, and Keanu Reeves.
I don't think he was necessarily wrong here (as much as I love Keanu). He would often go on 20-minute-long diatribes about the difference between being an actor and a movie star. This I would often agree on.
Major League
The Substitute
Platoon
Too many great ones
Elephant man, Howards End, Remains of the day, the father, also really liked him in the Edge
I actually really liked their relationship in this movie. It wasn't the clichéd angry ex-wife, or the nagging wife. It was a more interesting dynamic they had
I agree with everything you said except for Tom Hardy. The guy has some serious chops and just needs to find the right project and stop doing crap like venom. All it takes it one project to rejuvenate a career. Just ask Colin Farrell.
But after Elvis and The Bikeriders I've seen all I have to see of Butler. He's awful. The Elvis movie was yet another larger-than-life sloppy overblown mess of a film from Baz Luhrman that I'm still boggled it got Oscar love. It should've swept the Razzies it was so atrocious. Bikeriders (true story or not) just came off like a Sons of Anarchy wannabe with a handful of name actors lead by Austin who I just didn't find the least bit convincing. Already sick of him.
Personally, I think the show should've ended with Season 8. I am a huge defender of Season 8. Loved it from start to finish and the ending of that season I thought was perfect. If they were never going to properly wrap up the mythology, then I would've been just as content with giving the characters their proper closure.
Mulder and Scully finally get their happy ending (baby and all), Krycheck dies at the hands of Skinner, Doggett and Reyes take over the x files, Doggett going after Kirch, and the lone gunmen live on. Fade to black and call it a series.
Agreed. Shaker should've gotten away with it
I absolutely HATE what they did to Reyes & the fact that they brought back the cigarette man. It's like they don't know what to do without him! Fuck that guy!
^^ yes the cigarette man was dead. That was lame as hell. Reyes I actually love what they did with her. I was never a fan of the agent Reyes character as she always came off as Mulder 2.0. Here I was actually intrigued by what they had done with the character. However she was barely featured, they did nothing with her turn, and it was so underdeveloped it made me angry.
Oh and then they unceremoniously killed her off
Agree season 11 was better than 10. But overall, I'm hugely disappointed to Chris Carters entire approach to this revival show. His plan was to have his movie trilogy. But after I want to believe bombed (it was a POS) he kept going on and on about his third movie to close out the show/series. He was never going to get it.
So instead, they give him an episode order for a small season. My initial thought was that if approached correctly could've been a cool little mini-series about the alien invasion of 2012. But instead, what does CC do? He decides to retcon the mythology once again in a lame hail Mary attempt to prolong the original series. I made a thread about this a while back in that I feel Chris Carter is that drunk guy at the party with no self-awareness that the party ended hours ago yet is still trying to keep it going. He should've taken a page out of his buddy Vince Gilligan's book and given the fans a definitive ending overstaying his welcome.
Hypothetically if he made a small mini-series about the invasion and delivered the goods it could've ended on top. It could've undone all the damage done by Season 9 and I want to believe and had X Files go out on top. Instead, the show I love went out on a whimper. It still pains me.
Love Bruce McGill but I'd have to disagree and say Ron Silver stole the show
Exactly. What worked in the 80s doesn't necessarily work today. Prosthetic noses worked back in the day. But in modern day they just come across hoaky. But if we're being honest ever since Marvel made the choice to turn Thor goofy, I feel this is just how Hemsworth plays every character.
It's also a bit of a contrast that Joy is playing her role super serious while Chris is tapping into his goofy Thor schtick.
Was he? I thought he was kind of on the hammy side
This movie is beloved because Tarantino "didn't" direct it.
Quentin is great and all but I love this movie because of what Tony Scott did with it
The fall, plus how he slid down the concrete, and now that you mention it, I'm sure kicking what looked like a 60-pound dog didn't help either.
He was one of the few honorable characters in the whole season. However, they couldn't help themselves and completely ruined him in the last two episodes. Such a shame
Yup. So stupid. You'd think the scientists....yes scientists would've been smarter. They could've just shot me because I sure as hell wasn't stripping down in those temperatures. I'd rather a bullet
What were we expecting? A halfway decent script.... notice I didn't even say good just halfway.
It was a paper-thin script with a cheap endless parade of stupid cameos, uninteresting fight scenes, annoying music cues and dear lord did Ryan Reynolds grate the nerves this time around. He was insufferable as most of the humor this time around seemed to fall short. Epic fail for me. You obviously liked it and that's okay. I did not
