hes a solid and reliable actor. i like shitter island alot, think departed is an amazing film, and really enjoyed inception. personally i think his dating age is really fucking weird and his black mark. but he seems like a nice guy and if i saw him in person

Bro nope was not good lmao. So many defensive people over a shit movie lol

Not me. I live them! I love the "I'm there" feel of it, the immersion. Though I do agree, some 3d movies just add pop put stuff for gimmics, and some turn the whole movie into some sort of "experience", at which point its hard to call it a movie. Gravity for example. Fantastic theatrical 3d experience, horrrrrrrible movie. But for majority of movies, I feel like the added depth is nice.

Legion

Then I misunderstood your thoughts.

I still disagree about your point that Hanks, Dicaprio Washington, Adams etc play all their roles the same way though.

Watch Fire in the Sky. That's what the abduction scene is loosely based on.

Have this book sitting on my shelf to be read. Maybe this is a sign to crack it open next

Plenty of movies don’t fully explain the supernatural aspect, instead only revealing some small rules about it (IE: don’t look at it or it will come for you) and whether or not you liked the characters is subjective

That is honestly the news I hope to read whenever I see his name. No director is more perfect for that style of movie, though I think a mini-series might be better for the length and world-building for that style.

What a lovely interview.

Is it kid (11yr olds) friendly? Or some grim child abuse story?

> The monster was rubbish

I loved the monster in Nope so I will defend it here, but it's fine if it didn't work for you. This is a copy and paste of an older comment of mine:

The way it works has to be inferred since no one ever figures it out in the movie, but a real biologist wrote a fake paper about it (co-authored by the two main characters of the movie), so I'm not making any of the following up.

The monster is lighter than air because it has thin skin and can fill itself with air like a hot air balloon. Obviously it looks like an alien UFO, but this is a reference to a common explanation of UFO sightings — that they are weather balloons. The creature is finally photographed in an actual balloon accident, and air-filled tube men are used to measure its anti-electric field. The fact that it has an anti-electric field probably means its using a magnetic field to mess with the Earth's magnetic field and fly partially through that method.

It unfolds into a bunch of flaps to catch the wind like a ship's sails. In fact, when its flying forward or sideways its sails could be mistaken on the horizon or in clouds for a flying ship. Like a legendary ghost ship. With the sunset behind it it has an almost angelic or godlike appearance. You even have to bow your head and make sacrifices to it to avoid its wrath. The way it eats is an explanation for livestock abductions and mysterious items in rain, like fish or frog rains. It's not just a monster — it's every monster. Or at least a bunch of them. An all-purpose cryptid for aliens, ghost ships, and even religious beings.

It’s a gimmick movie who’s entire premise revolves around one goofy idea.

Just noticed you seem to make a lot of posts about rugby and sports and such, much more than movies. Not to make assumptions, but maybe movies that make you think aren't really for you.

There would be only 2 of them and they would be great.

It is, and it will.

One of the few novels I shed a tear at but still enjoyed immensely. Perfectly balanced.

I think they’ll be studying it in high schools in 10 years. What a writer.

Film literacy is dead.

I can’t wait for this. One of my top 5 filmmakers doing an adaptation of one of my top 5 novels.

None of the roles I was thinking of hinge on the makeup they wear.

Oldman as Commissioner Gordon is completely different than Oldman as Stansfield in Léon or Oldman as Smiley in TTSS.

Bale isn’t wearing any prosthetics in Newsies or American Psycho but the two characters couldn’t be further apart.

Olivia Coleman in That Mitchell and Webb Look might as well be a different actress from the one who appeared in Broadchurch or The Crown.

I think it was all really smart, however i too really disliked Keke in this. Just way over the top (but BRO she was totally contrasting to her brother!!) I know, i still didn’t like her character. It put me off a movie i probably would have liked otherwise.

TBH, She impressed even before in Spit.

I liked Mark Walburg and Alec Baldwin also. Great cast.

It puts the viewer in the position of the characters: meaning we know as much as they do, based on their best guesses. The fear is meant to come from both the unknown and the hubris of characters who either think it's fake or think they can control the creature.

No way, he was acting all the way back in 1969. It's his first lead role for sure.
