Post Walk The Line, I like:

The Master
Joker
You Were Never Really Here
Inherent Vice
Beau is Afraid

I haven't seen Her yet.

[BurtReynolds]

Just to be clear, that was not a ranking!

Is it time to start questioning the validity of Joaquin’s fame? The Master notwithstanding, he’s been on a pretty bad streak for nearly 20 years.

what do you mean? feels the guy is at the top of his career

Look at the movies he’s picked ever since the Cash biopic. Lots of interesting roles in dogshit movies.

yeah but at the same time he has very good movies, or even kinda classics

but after 2005? Again, The Master aside, what would you say qualifies as a classic in the last 19 years?

Her, You Were Never Really Here, Joker hell even Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot is a compelling movie.

I didnt cared for Cmon Cmon and Napoleon was a misstep. Havent seen The Sister Brothers yet. I also need to see The Immigrant and Beau.

[Jorge]

He was great in Beau Is Afraid, the only good Ari Aster movie

I haven't seen Her yet.

His best work actually.

[Jorge]

Oh, Inherent Vice too, definitely

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Jorge]

He always delivers good performances even when he's in a bad movie. His acclaim as an actor is deserved

I did not like the first Joker and had no interest in this whatsoever but now that everyone hates it I’m kinda curious

Let’s go see it together on each other’s laps

How would that work

[epilogue]

Signs is the first film where JP showed any talent as an actor at all. Everything before that is laughably terrible, performance wise. The guy was a legit joke. Especially when compared (unfairly) to his infinitely more talented brother.

To his credit, he turned it around and showed he has real teeth. I've really loved him as an actor since. While there are films I'll never see (Napoleon) and films I wish I hadn't (Beau Is Afraid; a truly terrible film) JP continues to be interesting if not great.

I have no interest in this Joker sequel, but that's not because of him. It's because in spite of him the first one is stupid. And Gaga, though a remarkable talent as a singer and music performer, isn't a very compelling actor.
