I'm not sure there's much of a story to tell here. He was really withdrawn and obsessed with his work. Can't see how this will play without maybe animated sequences of what he was imagining and creating. A monster calls did it well

Colour me nervous

It's official - FOX is making a movie about JRR Tolkien! ❤️

Not that excited about this. Kinda feels like Aronofsky has lost it. Looks like a number of other "stuck in a new house" horrorish movies that have come out recently.

And no Clint Mansell. :-?

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It is weird seeing Jennifer Lawrence married to Javier Bardem.

I feel like Bardem's career has been a pretty big disappointment since No Country.

I don't know. I loved him in VCB and I thought he did a ton of heavy lifting in Skyfall. But I haven't really seen much since NCFOM other than those two films. Biutiful looked pretty amazing. Still really want to see that. But I don't think his career is unbalanced pre and post No Country.

"Biutiful" was the only thing he's been in post-No Country that I enjoyed his performance in.

I thought his performance really weighed down "Skyfall."

But my opinion of "Skyfall" really soured on second viewing. It's a pretty shit movie. That second half is hideous.

That's fair. I only saw it once. And it was on a plane. My memory/opinion of the thing is pretty flimsy.

Saw him in Love in the Time of Cholera and that was pretty good, from what I can remember. It's been almost a decade so I'm hazy.

He and Jeffrey Dean Morgan should make a buddy cop movie.

I think his maybe-best performance was in The Gunman, which no one saw.
