10. Song Kang-ho in Broker - Song brings a naturalistic and charming chemistry even if the film tasks him to go into some less than natural directions for this character late in the film.
Best Scene: Seeing his daughter.
9. Robert Pattinson in The Batman - Pattinson gives a great depiction of Batman that gives a greater insight within the development of the character and the different shades of his identity.
Best Scene: "Bruce WAAAYNE"
8. Christopher Abbott in On the Count of Three - Abbott gives a captivating depiction of a man on an extreme mental edge that manages to be intense, heartwrenching but also at times rather funny.
Best Scene: Seeing the high school bully.
7. Mehdi Bajestani in Holy Spider - Bajestani gives an extremely disturbing portrayal of a man whose depravity goes far beyond just psychopathy.
Best Scene: "Not Crazy"
6. Mark Rylance in The Outfit - Rylance amplifies his film every step of the way, giving a consistently captivating portrayal of a man who essentially weaponizes modesty.
Best Scene: "I'm the mole"
5. Alexander Skarsgård in the Northman - Skarsgård delivers a powerful performance that goes beyond just his tremendous physical presence and also gives a potent portrayal of the emotional weight of his journey.
Best Scene: The Queen's truth.
4. Felix Kammerer in All Quiet on the Western Front - Kammerer gives a heartbreaking portrayal of the effects of war, both in terms of the bonds between soldiers and of the terrible mental degradation from the losses and horrors suffered throughout his experience.
Best Scene: In the crater.
3. Timothée Chalamet in Bones and All - Chalamet delivers for me his best performance, that offers an honest off-beat charisma, a fantastic chemistry with his co-star, and a powerful emotional vulnerability, all in his depiction of a cannibal.
Best Scene: What really happened with his dad.
2. Ralph Fiennes in The Menu - Fiennes gives an amazing performance that manages to be extremely intense, but also incredibly hilarious as his hate and regret filled killer chef.
Best Scene: A cheeseburger.
1. Park Hae-il in Decision to Leave - Park gives an entirely captivating and absolutely haunting portrayal of obsession.
Best Scene: The snowy mountain.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 247 of 247Louis: Could Fred Melamed go up for A Serious Man? I'm not a huge fan of the movie itself, but scenes with Melamed turning passive aggressiveness into an art form were definitely the highlight for me.
Louis: Thoughts on the cast of Godland?
Louis: For a 60's Dead for a Dollar, Mann directing and Stewart and Ryan in the main roles?
Not gonna lie, Dead for a Dollar is a pretty cool name for a Western. Shame it had to be in a very underwhelming one.
Mitchell: Aside from Teddy Roosevelt's voice, you can also hear the voices of William Howard Taft, Calvin Coolidge, Robert La Follette, William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson on YouTube.

Speaking of La Follette, what I can tell you about him is that he was far more liberal than Teddy and FDR were, opposing military intervention and wanting to nationalize industries. During his 1924 campaign, he also famously denounced the Ku Klux Klan. And while supportive of some of Wilson's domestic policies, he also felt that the Federal Reserve was too friendly towards the banks.
He likely would have supported FDR's New Deal were he around in the 30's, but also would have felt that it didn't go far enough to help the poor. Bryan, his Democratic counterpart, probably would have felt the same.
Luke:
Edgar-Jones & Mescal - (Well the show is all about their performances and both are really tremendous marking themselves out as great talents for their age groups. As in the single show, we do get so many sides of their talent by just showing the aging of the characters which is impressive, even if it is aging in terms of emotional maturity. Edgar-Jones I think proves herself fantastic in a difficult style role of the openly hostile type dealing with her insecurities and trauma by lashing out, and Edgar-Jones I think manages to do it in a way where she brings it successfully from the internal to the external in a way that is convincing and potent in a character trait that often trips many up. Mescal on the other hand is very effective early on in showing sort of the outward basic peer pressure of normalcy, with far more going on beneath the surface, something he'd obviously do in Aftersun, but here I think he's great in portraying it in a very different way that is of the teenager keeping it in rather than of the adult we see in Aftersun. In their college years, both are great in showing the way the two progress so naturally, as both seem to become more confident and more "normal" yet in a way their work in pinpointing their difficulties is more subdued in each and effective in how each articulates this so naturally. These scenes are less about their big moments than just the small moments and authentically realizing this trying to discover themselves where the pressure is different from high school. They reinvent themselves AGAIN as adults, but again it is how natural the two are that makes it so remarkable. Edgar-Jones I think has the less interesting material to work with as it goes into a real swerve, which I'm not sure was ideal, having said that her performance only ever makes the combination between her trying to own herself against her attempts to bridge her insecurities are only ever fueled so powerfully with the emotion that supports the moments. Mescal is just amazing in portraying every moment of his character really now openly facing everything he feels he's done wrong and is consistently heartbreaking in just revealing this raw nerve with such emotional detail. Together though is so much of the show and how their chemistry builds from the ages, and it is a constant in so many ways. One just being the sexual intensity of it, but also just seeing how the two segue in each stage between each other in times of more sexual, to emotional dependency, to eventually some genuine understanding and connection. Again what is so great is the power of this journey which you feel the years of this relationship in their performance that earns this transformation between the two that so naturally makes their relationship ever more complex and meaningful at every stage of their life.)
Tahmeed:
I mean just to reiterate great work in Mescal's performance as he's able to show really the struggle of such a complex emotional situation, as even as he's saying what he thinks, he doesn't exactly still say it and so powerfully portrays the desperate insecurity in the call.
One of the most heartbreaking acting a scene of its ilk that I've seen honestly. Mescal is able to be so unfussy and just truly raw in the scene. His acting just is phenomenal because he shows the fight between trying to process and just being overwhelmed by the grief and his own depression. He doesn't make it "pretty" in any sense, rather shows just how troubling it is as he tries to analyze his mistakes and he shows just how much pain is in there.
The scene that the whole show is working towards, and it succeeds as such. And is again the performances and you see how far they've come in this interaction as both are open in their comfort, but also more so even their honesty in the moment. And the two are kind of perfect in being able to articulate a sense of love even when determining it is best for both to separate. Manages to be really wonderful because it is heartwarming and heartwrenching in equal measure.

Marcus:
The rare scene from the series where it wasn't Mescal (though he's also great) or Edgar-Jones that dominated a scene. Sarah Greene is great in the scene though in bringing a real sense of compassion within the confrontation showing the sense of her concern for Marianne towards Connell's mistaken behavior.
Tony:
I think Hoffman would've been a great Mank. Would've been ideal honestly.
Graham would be perfect as the right no-nonsense presence needed but the right energy to make it play off the cartoons effectively.
Don't see Odenkirk as Chuck because I think the role demands a bit more overt sexuality (his exile does to sleeping with the editor's wives) Odenkirk is charming but he doesn't have that aspect, which is also needed for the relationship with Lorraine.
I think Dalton would be ideal, and I'll concur with Matt he would be a great fit for an Elmore Leonard character in general.
Ytrewq:
Yes.
Anonymous:
Hove - (A performance where he conveys the emotions as to be expected, but never really brings you into his character as unlikeable as the character is. He's very distant, and while he doesn't do anything wrong exactly he doesn't bring you in any sense of it.)
Sigurosson & Lohmann - (They're more distant as well, but effectively so as these pestering forces in different ways, Sigurosson more overt and Lohmann more as this stoic presence. They deliver more of an impact but again limited a bit because Hove's performance is so equally cold in a certain sense the contrast isn't quite there.)
8000's:
Eh see it more like an Adam-centric episode of Bonanza, with guest turns by DeForest Kelly in Dafoe's role and Tina Louise's in Brosnahan's role.
Louis: Across both film and TV, which actors /actresses do you think are the best at playing depressed characters?
Btw, FINALLY got a chance to watch "The Fabelmans" tonight and I basically adored it. I generally like Spielberg's more personal films, and this was no exception since it came across as so emotionally truthful, while also selling the magic of the filmaking craft.
LaBelle - 4.5 (Terrific work, and I could fully buy him as a Spielberg stand in.)
Dano - 5 (Great performance, mainly for capturing the "50s father type" in such a warm and touching way.)
Williams - 3.5 (Sort of mixed as certain scenes, and her overall vocal diction, feel quite calculated. Much of her dramatic moments are fine, though.)
Hirsch - 4.5 (Properly praised, I think, with his "History of Violence" style nod; He's in probably 10 minutes total, and is entrancing for all of them.)
Rogen - 3.5 (Completely solid here as he successfully tones down his usual schtick, and fulfills his smaller part.)
Lynch - 4 (Just a lovely bit of Lynchian wierdness.)
Tahmeed: Olivia Colman is a MASTER at it.
Louis: Thoughts on Ed Harris in Walker.
Tahmeed:
Well if we're talking living performers:
Paul Mescal
Tommy Lee Jones
Colin Farrell
Tony Leung
Bill Murray
Mads Mikkelsen
Nicolas Cage
Stephen Rea
Casey Affleck
Olivia Colman
Kirsten Dunst
Emma Thompson
Maggie Smith
Marion Cotillard
Anonymous:
Harris - (There's not much to talk about, he's there in the most perfunctory sense in delivering immediate heartbreak from the lost of a love one, to passionate conviction, to kind of this detached zealotry. The part is just too think as written for him to really make much out of it. His presence is welcome and does have something to it, but that something never becomes more than just a vague idea of something.)
Women Talking takes Adapted Screenplay at WGA. Puts it in a very good place to take the Oscar even with all its been through, if you ask me.
Aidan:
I'd say overall it is still a toss up between All Quiet and it since All Quiet was not eligible for WGA.
Louis: do you think you'll watch Athena for 2022?
Louis: Also check out Full Time (2022) whenever that's available.
I mean, with All Quiet not being eligible Women Talking had NO competition here.
Louis: Fair enough. I personally just think Women Talking makes the most sense as as winner of the nominated 5 at the Oscars and that the general voting body will appreciate All Quiet more in tech categories. That being said it's definitely still in play given the BAFTA love and Netflix pushing it pretty well, and I honestly think it would be my preferred winner (don't love the film but think the screenplay is pretty strong all things considered).
Oliver: Well some people were actually thinking Glass Onion was going to take it given the following behind it and how Women Talking was largely falling behind despite the Best Picture nomination. That it still managed to win here I think proves that it still has the backing to pull it off come next Sunday.
Really hoping that Women Talking can ride this to the Oscar, but definitely still a race between it and AQOTWF.
And now it seem Original Screenplay will be Banshees v EEAAO, which is one of those I'm happy to see either win, but Banshees would be my choice + would be good to spread the wealth.
Louis: Now that Ke Huy Quan has pretty much completed the most unlikely comeback, it would seem that someone like John Lone could have a route to do so, if he so chooses of course (same with someone like Dennis Dun). What directors would you like to see Lone work with should he choose to make a return?
your thoughts on these choices for 2020s remakes (these are some tough ones to do full casts for me)
- Tom Hiddleston as Nick Naylor/Bryan Cranston as BR
- Jim Caviezel as Atticus Finch
- Alfie Alle as Hud Bannon
- Margo Martindale as Annie Wilkes
- Paul Mescal as Jack Dawson
- Vincent D'Onofrio or Dennis Quaid as Lt. Commander Philip Queeg
also, Christopher Nolan apparently wanted Marilyn Manson as The Scarecrow; thoughts? i have not seen him in a lot acting-wise, but i think he does have an interestingly weird presence that i could see work for the hallucination scenes, but i think may have been a bit too obvious for the "normal" lawyer scenes
Mandy Walker wins ASC, seems like it'll be an Elvis/All Quiet on the Western Front showdown for Cinematography.
Razor & Lucas:
Possibly.
Calvin:
Don't give me hope Calvin, but nonetheless:
Denis Villeneuve
Bong Joon-ho
Jim Jarmusch
With that ASC winner we have yet another "coin flip" category, this is almost the complete opposite of last year, where most categories were pretty obvious.
Tim:
Hiddleston is certainly capable of being smooth not sure he is *quite* dominating enough, but certainly possible. Cranston could possibly go too broad, but in all likelihood would work in the role.
Caviezel most definitely exudes that innate goodness/warmth on screen so I could easily see him as Finch.
Can't see Allen at all based on his work that so far has been the complete opposite of Hud's extreme confidence and dominating personality. Maybe he *can* do it, but I can't say so based on what we've seen.
I'd say Martindale is a little too old, being only a couple years younger than Bates, as I do think a certain "fangirl" element is part of that character. Having said that, as even more so an isolated kind of "cat lady" type of version of the character could work with Martindale.
Mescal would seem the ideal choice there, as he would most roles honestly per the age group given his kind of more overt physical presence, particularly as compared to a lot of other performers in his age group.
Neither D'Onofrio nor Quaid would be my first choice but I could maybe see either working. The former can go ham so easily wouldn't necessarily trust him, the latter isn't always amazing at portraying vulnerability, but maybe he could do it.
I mean that type of casting would either work or be a complete train wreck, sounds potentially more the latter and perhaps Nolan forgot about the non-Scarecrow parts.
Louis: Your thoughts on Henning Bendtsen's work in Ordet.
Oh, I'd love to see Bong and Lone together.
Louis: your thoughts on the 'Climbing the mountain/Solving the crime' scene in Decision to Leave.
Hey guys and Louis
Taking advantage of what Calvin said, after the triumphant returns of Quan and Fraser, say which actors and actresses you would like to see their comebacks? I want to see: Lone, Jackie Chan, Alicia Silverstone, Bridget Fonda, Uma Thurman and Owen Wilson.
I also wanted to see Hackman and Nicholson's comeback. I know they are both retired, have no more interest in acting and energy to being on set. I just want to see them come back in a great movie with just a good performance and return into retirement because it's really sad to see their great careers ended with bad movies.
Shaggy: Owen Wilsons’ still getting high-profile work (Loki, a romcom with Jennifer Lopez, reprising Lightning McQueen, hosting SNL). He’s around.
Bryan: As long as he's still active, I wanted a movie with a great Wilson performance. Kind of like Cage when he did Joe and Pig.
Tim: Can I ask, what's your source for that tidbit about Batman Begins? The only sources I could find online were a couple of shady-looking clickbait sites.
Louis and to anyone else who saw Decision to Leave: How did you feel about the scene where Jung-Ah seems to discover Hae-joon has been having an affair, only to reveal that she's noticed he's been smoking again? In the scene she's actually first saying something that translates roughly to "You blew it", as in "You blew wind", which is Korean slang for cheating. The Korean word for "blew" in this case could also mean "breathed/exhaled", which could apply to smoking cigarettes. As a native Korean speaker I was curious to see how that scene played to an international audience.
Easy: IMDB Trivia) "Marilyn Manson, Christopher Eccleston, Ewan McGregor and Jeremy Davies were considered for the role of Jonathan Crane, a.k.a. Scarecrow"
pretty early actually, around a fourth of the page in
For granted, saying "Nolan wanted him" sounds a bit more definite i admit
Tim: IMDb trivia is not in any way a reliable source.
So in case anyone needs their day brightened, I did find this blooper/gag reel of EEAAO just today - As if Yeoh and Quan weren't charming enough...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QIjtm2zNbk&ab_channel=FilmIsNowMovieBloopers%26Extras
8000's:
I mean absolutely gorgeous work that is one of the most powerful examples of a "divine light" ever realized. The lighting of the halos is stunning with how subtle it is. The bright light against the contrasting blacks here though is so sharp here that makes them particularly heavenly. A film again that is particularly deserving of every frame a painting, with the sheer dynamic power of the composition.
Calvin:
Fantastic use of editing there in creating such a visceral sense of really the intensity of the realization, the revelation of it, but also just really kind of the sense of the tiring rough climb to the top. Park in a way at his best by so much pulling you into the mind of Jang through it, you're not catching up with him, nor is he catching up with you, you're experiencing it right with him.
Shaggy:
I will say I think a little too much is made about Hackman's last film being Welcome to Mooseport when just two films before was Royal Tenenbaums which is really a perfect sendoff for his acting career even if it wasn't the literal sendoff.
Tony:
I don't recall the exact translations but basically the scene was her bluntly confronting him for his lies in general which implied both his smoking and the affair.
Louis: Thoughts on a 70's I Saw the Devil with Kurosawa directing and Nakadai in Lee's role and Mifune in Choi's role.
8000's:
I'd probably say Kihachi Okamoto would make more sense as the director, as he delved more so in that type of brutality with Sword of Doom (Kurosawa would have violence but it typically was more isolated), but yes to those leads obviously.
Louis: Hm, that's not how the scene played to me. I'll need to revisit that film, but it's possible we're thinking of different scenes.
Your thoughts on this scene from The Fabelmans?
https://twitter.com/BenjaminCrew1/status/1631045860829061132
Tony: "The Fabelmans" is still fresh in my memory, and that shot is a great encapsulation of elements; Dano's wonderfully understated work, Butters' strong emotional work, and the artistic obsession that Boris rightfully pinpointed in Sammy.
Also, music related question for everyone here: Thoughts on the following songs I just discovered recently...
Crossed the Line - No Resolve
In This Cold - Cold Driven
Unstoppable - Disturbed
Dissent - Seconds Away

Hey Louis and guys!
The Academy finally released the list of presenters. Say who will present the categories: picture, director and actress?
I believe this year will repeat the same strategy as in 2018 when Casey Affleck was not present, if that happens then the best actor category will also remain open.
Chastain present director
Close present picture
Garfield and Pugh present actress
Kidman or Connelly (maybe both together) present actor

Tony:
An interesting moment that is almost blink and you might miss it, to the point it is almost a subconscious suggestion with Sammy filming himself, as essentially a super meta-commentary by Spielberg, but also the way Sammy is in a way this observer himself as his filmmaking in itself detaches himself from family just by becoming treating everything with a lens.
Anonymous:
Deadwyler seems a little young (though Taylor was only 34 which is hard to believe), but certainly can deliver on the intensity. Quan certainly would be an interesting shade and he's someone I'd gladly see any sides he's got.
8000's:
I probably would've found her more convincing personally, particularly if she brought some of her Night of the Iguana energy.
The Killer is beautifully shot as really a noir with the intensity very much on those contrasts in a particularly potent way because the setting is almost always still well-lit here, and it grants a sense of the area in the frame, but still having large swaths in the contrasting extreme dark and bits of blunt white light. There are some individual shots that are in particular just dynamite per the genre in terms of conveying the sort of allure of Gardner or the shadiness of the world Lancaster's character inhabits.
Shaggy:
I'd say Chastain is probably, almost definitely, going to present best actor as per tradition. The bigger question mark is actress.

Louis: Ratings and thoughts on the cast of A Fugitive From The Past.
Luke:
Mikuni - 4(He's good in that you believe both sides of the character. He is the desperate man who is looking for his way out and bring that intensity. Then he is the more reserved cold man hiding away his earlier crimes. He is both effectively even if I do think the film, and maybe to an extent his performance, leaves the character as kind of strangely there a bit, even if I don't think there are obvious flaws.)
Hidari - 4.5(She's really wonderful in her early scenes in bringing this kind of cagey energy to her performance where you see her presenting herself one way while also presenting other shades of the character effectively. She manages to play well who she presents and who she is hiding and her interactions with Inukai are effective. In that there seems to be genuinely romantic in her reactions even if there is still the sense of desperation below it well. Then later she is effectively tragic in portraying this misplaced optimism in her hopes and is moving in portraying this mistaken belief in something that never was.)
Takakura - 3.5(He's more than fine but it is an underwritten role.)
Ban - 4(He gives an effective portrayal of the sort of manner of the man trying to figure out the various aspects of the situation with this calm incisive delivery. He slowly loses that calm and portrays well this unease that slowly begins to reveal itself as he can't solve it. He's then very moving later on in the later scenes portraying his anxieties but also this still quiet conviction in the man trying to settle his lack of closure.)
