As much as I love many of Ds9's other actors, I think Andrew Robinson as Garak takes the cake for me. Others inhabited their roles as well as him, but Garak is compelling basically every time he's on screen.

Charles Dance (I think?) as Tywin Lannister also comes to mind as being arguably the most compelling character in a big cast of great characters.

+1 Hugh Laurie. He and his character carried a show through a lot of otherwise formulaic writing and silly plots. And finding out he's British was a trip after watching him do a perfect American accent for multiple seasons and never suspecting a thing.

Robert Picardo as the Doctor (AKA competent Tobias Funke) is also a good one for injecting a lot of much-needed character into Voyager. But mostly I just wanted to make the Tobias comparison.

I do gotta say that with the whole MCU as well as Disney being Disney, and as they control a large portion of media (fictional or otherwise)

I’m getting real sick and tired of mediocrity being the defining characteristic of a polarizing piece of media designed in a sterilized lab in a ploy to appeal to the ideal that is ‘everyone’ in the mind of the producers.

> I can't wait to watch these scenes

yea if you're planning to watch the series just know it's 6 fucking season long (plus 1 epilogue season). and there are a lot of stories that rage from great to absolutely fucking terrible. lol.

I have a lot more favourite romance stories too. Trigonometry is another great one. It's about a polygamous couple.

Had nothing to do with their attention spans, but good job on a snarky comment that completely missed the point, I guess

You didn't correct jack mate. He shits on the lowest hanging fruit, doesn't matter if it's conservatives, billionaires, Andrew Tate streamers or 'crazy libruls'. They are ALL low hanging fruit.

And yes I laughed during Grant's cameo, because he is actually funny and talented actor, unlike the script. It is no coincidence that the best parts were Hawke's and Grant's performances: they had limited screentime and didn't get completely sucked into Johnson's lazy writing schticks

Kathryn Hahn is one of the best comedic actresses working today and he gave her absolutely nothing to play with, which is a damn shame. The film is UNfunny. Also a bad mystery film. If not for the cast list, this film would fall into Netflix fodder bin, guaranteed

Not as unanimous praise as you think.

We can keep going in circles here, like you constantly deflecting 'easily available info' and never actually providing any evidence of your claims, because clearly you have no idea what the concept 'burden of proof' means

If you liked Glass Onion, be my guest, I truly don't give a shit you and thousands of others are happy to settle for appallingly mediocre entertainment just because the script validates your viewpoints. There are people that have the bar set a bit higher than that.
