If they were going to pull someone from the popular tv show Game of Thrones to play Sarah Connor, it should have been Lena Headey or whatshername that plays Osha, Bran's wildling pal.

I can't tell whether or not you already know Lena Headey already played Sarah Connor.

I can't believe some of you are comparing Clarke to Hamilton. The gently caress is wrong with you? Go back and rewatch Terminator 1. Not even 2, 1. The scene near the end where Reese is injured and they're running through the factory, she convincingly goes from "average waitress still in over her head" to "yes, this is the mother of the savior of humanity." Her body language changes, the way she delivers lines ("On your FEET, soldier!") changes, the expressions she makes change. I think Clarke is fine on GoT, but come the gently caress on people, she's not even as good of an actress as Hamilton's twin sister in that deleted scene from T2.

The reason Headey was a good Connor in the TV show was because she wasn't trying to do a lovely Hamilton impersonation, which is all Clarke is doing in these trailers.

Is a pretty good suggestion actually. I just watched her in a mini-series called Residue and she really impressed me in that, didn't make the connection that she played Osha until your post though!

If you ask the internet it's about Emma Watson doing a nude scene and little else.

...what, exactly, has Emilia Clarke been in other than GoT and Terminator: Genisys that makes people say she's an awful actress? She's fine on GoT and it seems like she's giving the latter material exactly as much effort as it deserves.

It's really subtle and neat, and it gives you just enough to have some idea of what the movie is about (something to do with religion), without coming off as being hackneyed about it. Good poster.

This is a movie that has Jai Courtney and Matt Smith in it. Even in zero effort mode, she's better than those two.

(I really hope she doesn't end up becoming the female Jai Courtney- had a good performance on a TV show, leveraged it into movies that are flaming dog crap)

Yes clearly if I like someone's acting on a show (which, again, I do, her character is written shittily because GRRM is terrible but she does pretty well with the material- I'm aware that this describes every performance in GoT, pretty much) it's because they get naked a lot. Christ on a bike. I tend to at least admit it when I seek an actor/actress out because they take their clothes off a lot (Manu Bennett :swoon:).

Terminator: Genisys looks bad, we are all in full agreement on that. Her performance in it looks pretty bad, again, we agree here. I just think calling her a lovely actress on the whole off of two roles, one of which she's actually good in, is jumping the gun to a bizarre extent.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. When I skimmed the recent posts, I saw a bunch of people making GBS threads on her, on the whole, because her performance in Genisys looks bad (again, a thing I'm not loving arguing with), prompting me to make my initial post.

Upon going back and reading in depth instead of just skimming, it was pretty much just Sir Kodiak and most of the rest of the thread seems to be on the same page I'm on, but I mean, it still should have been fairly obvious what I was referring to.

You just keep addressing a point I'm not actually making and it's confusing the poo poo out of me. I have, at no point, said her performance looks good, and you keep going "no, her performance looks bad" as if I at any point said otherwise.

Emilia Clarke could secretly be Ellen Burstyn / Helen Mirren / Meryl Streep levels of brilliant.

She's still complete poo poo on GoT whether it's her fault or the director's, and this movie looks like dumpster garbage gently caress rear end and she's not helping that perception.

She gives my least favorite performance in Game of Thrones for someone who gets as much screentime as she does. She's competent enough at producing the few emotions or whatever that are asked of her, but I can't think of a single time where's she's added something interesting to the character through her performance, which I can't say of any other major character.

LORD OF BUTT posted:

I will admit that it's possible that she's an amazing actress and simply has never bothered to never allow it to be captured on film or video.

Jai Courtney is fun in Jack Reacher, a movie which is also not bad.

Emilia Clarke's bad acting in GoT is a meme. She's so bad that people who make memes have the cognitive ability to recognize that she's bad.

On topic, I just dropped a small fortune on (reprints of the) original Mad Max trilogy posters in 27x40.

Also got the standard theater double-sided Max and Furiosa in the truck cab poster, also 27x40.

But does anyone know of a source to get this one in 27x40 or larger, because it's amazing:

I did the same thing you did (except I didn't get Thunderdome, and I got the Fury Road poster that's the opening shot of the film) and was looking for this same thing. The only place I was able to find it was on e-bay, and it came in two varieties. One was 27x40 prints shipping from Asia, which I did not trust because they were too cheap and the fact that it was never an official poster at that size made me weary. And two, GIANT loving bus stop size things going for $100+.
