The Cinematic Motion Picture News Thread

Irish actor, breakout was the really great HULU miniseries Normal People. Then two great performances this year in smaller, character-driven films, God's Creatures and Aftersun (the latter perhaps being the best movie of the year and his performance in it probably the most compelling of the year). I really like him. He's also either engaged to or recently broken up from Phoebe Bridgers, I forget the gossip.

Gladiator 2 would definitely be the first big epic Hollywood movie on his resume

Oh wow. Best movie of the year so far. That's huge.

Congrats Aftersun!

2022, obviously

There was no way to know that definitively.

Everyone’s been begging Rian Johnson to do a knives out film with the muppets.
He’s such a killjoy

[VinylGuy]

I didnt know he was paying for the movie himself. Seems its very likely he wont get to finish it.

I heard from a trusted source (Jorge) that Coppola is notorious for not paying his contractors and collaborators. a la Trump

Tár is making Marin Aslop very angry, calling the movie ¨antiwoman¨.
Im still surprised people cant really understand this is fiction, specially for a movie like Tár, that doesnt really points out whats good or bad, but kinda show whats happening with this character.

The movie works better because she's a woman. The viewer doesn't already have pre-cut grooves they can drop this story into. If Tar was a man, we would immediately recognize the behavior as horrid and vilify him. He's the villain, we already know that story.

Tar being a woman throws us off, even if it is all essentially the same. But it gives Field and Blanchett and the movie time and space to more fully explore this character, this behavior, and how we the audience feel about it. It allows Tar to be seen as fully human.

Tar as a man is a totally different movie.

Sounds like it's one of those movies where the villain is actually the good guy. So like most movies.

yeah, i agree with this.

Sounds like Aslop is mad because of the name drop maybe?

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]

That image makes it look like a fake movie from another movie

I'm kind of dying to see it

Baldwin and the armourer from the Rust movie being charged with involuntary manslaughter in New Mexico.

I hope it is a gay version of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
