I kinda agree with Trag. He is a great actor, but he was mostly on autopilot for a looong time. Havent seen The Father nor i think i will ever see it tough.

Nice 58% nosedive in the ratings. Who could bear watching this woke crap?

I wonder how much of Oscar Isaac's soul died when he had to utter that line "somehow Palpatine returned."

You guys ever watch a movie you really like but there is one line or a few lines that just seem out of place and takes you out of it for a minute?

Blade Runner 2049 is on in the background while I'm working today. When Luv is watching K while he is down in the junkyard, she says "Get up, do your fucking job". It just seemed so out of place for her at that moment.

Also, in Interstellar, Hathaway's speech about love while they are in the spacecraft.

You think? He’s not in it enough to be distracting. Just there for a plot point

There are more five star movies from the 1950s, than from the 1960s or 1970s. But the 50s weren’t included in the RM tournament.

It’s just such an awkward tonal shift. Everything with Gosling is aces — even better than the original. Every time Ford is on screen it just feels silly to me. The ending was great though.
I loooooove everything about BR2049. I saw it on imax and it was transcendental. A piece of art.
