That wasn't an indictment or a criticism. I can see why you'd find what Baker said interesting and notable. It just reminded me of those other instances. And fwiw I actually love those other two movies that Ed and Giovani mentioned. They are movies that I also rave about.

there are directors whose opinions i'd value over others.
harder to get a sense of an actor's taste in movies from the parts they've played.

Oh yeah, I totally agree.
Again, not a comparison. Just a (not so) random movie-related thought I had.

I've only seen one of his movies, which I absolutely loved. But, yeah, I don't really care about his opinions either. Or rather, I don't think his opinions should carry any more or less weight than any other director's.
This is the most epilogue post of all time. This post is the entire epilogue account distilled into a single post. It's beautiful

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

i'd probably put no stock in any actor's endorsement of a particular movie.

It's not playing here opening weekend. We have one multiplex, and one single-screen theater for art-house/old print stuff.
These big city guys don't know how hard it is for us out here in the provinces
