The Skeleton King posted:Oh man, I remember that movie. He actually did a decent job in that role. By which I mean he botched a robbery really badly, decided to double down instead of running for it, got set on fire, beaten up, and then shot in the head by his accomplice that he hired, who turned out to be the real dangerous man. It's a great and underrated Fincher movie. The whole bit where Dwight Yoakam's character is introduced is probably the best scene. He's just this dude in the background in a ski mask that he's in for most of the movie and he only says his name, but it's excellent, excellent foreshadowing because he presents himself as a dude whose prepared to do anything and it's not out of nowhere when he takes over when Leto fucks up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVNNkjY2YDQ Actually, it's a toss-up. That scene or Jared Leto accidentally setting himself on fire.

WhyteRyce posted:Wonder if Leto throwing shade is going to get himself booted from future movies or out of the Joker role completely by some WB exec having a hissy fit and trying to make someone (other than other execs or Synder, never Synder) pay Perhaps this and Leto's entire "method acting Joker is sooOooOo crazy!!!" shtick is just a viral marketing ploy by WB to get people to keep talking about their lovely film. They probably had Leto's hissy fit planned months ago.

I've only seen Leto in Fight Club and Panic Room but he was a decent actor in both. Was he really terrible as the joker?

Why is everyone always raggin on cap 1? Tommy Lee Jones being awesome and enjoying himself, Stanley Tucci cheesin it up - then cap starts fighting goddamn nazis with lazer guns and lazer tanks, another nazi with a red skull for a face seeks the power of a Norse artifact It was a hell of a lot more fun than I thought it would be as I never really liked captain America as a character. Then the second one decides it wants to try and be serious with its surveillance and 'who watches the watchmen shtick', while simultaneously having his brainwashed friend return from the dead and have the antagonist be an old nazi AI which results in a pretty weird tonal contrast.

Yeah I've always thought he was a pretty decent actor but a bit of a knob off screen, but so are a lot of people like say, Russel Crowe. Isn't he only on screen for like 40s or something?

Zzulu posted:Half of that movie is good the other is generic trash P. much. Everything after he rescues Bucky and the POWs is enough material for an entire second movie-- How Steve goes from unilaterally deciding to be a hero to actually being allowed to be a hero by the US Gov't (hey have Tommy Lee Jones vouch for him to complete a secondary arc!), Steve courting Agent Carter, missions with the Howling Commandos, Bucky having to process his new status as second banana (hey he can finally get over his insecurity just in-time for the train sequence where he "dies", giving the audience a greater sense of loss!). Literally all of that gets compressed into a montage and a handful of scenes before sprinting to the climax. It's not bad, but it definitely undercuts the ace movie that came before it. el dingo posted:Then the second one decides it wants to try and be serious with its surveillance and 'who watches the watchmen shtick', while simultaneously having his brainwashed friend return from the dead and have the antagonist be an old nazi AI which results in a pretty weird tonal contrast. Hi I see this is your very first superhero movie ever please keep your arms and legs inside the suspension of your disbelief at all times no flash photography and do be sure to pick up a refreshing beverage from the gift shop.

I thought it worked pretty well as a way to go "yeah this world has been superficially very similar to our own up until recently, but there's a lot of genuinely weird comic book poo poo that happened out of the public eye over the last few decades." It touched on serious themes but it also was very much not shy about embracing the insane comics poo poo- i.e. you can draw parallels between the SHIELD project and modern U.S. drones but the final plan in the movie still involved a fleet of giant, permanently airborne, murder dreadnaughts conducting a purge of the global population. It's a comic book version of an espionage movie, so why have the shocking revelation be that a prominent senator murdered someone to cover up a sex scandal when you can have a global conspiracy planned by a Nazi scientist who used 70's era technology to digitize himself on miles of magnetic tape? The latter is laughably outlandish but it's also quite a bit more fun and an appropriate foe for a super-soldier called "Captain America" who defeats people via fisticuffs and a(n essentially) magic shield.

He barely spoke in Fight Club and was in the film for like 20 seconds total. I've only seen him in Fight Club and American Psycho and in both movies combined he's had like 2 minutes of screentime. Who the gently caress is this guy and why is he even famous?

It's just a case of the second one being so good people poo poo on the first one. The first one was great, other than the one hilariously bad effects shot in the hanger. Anyone who saw it knows what I am talking about. How the hell did that get in the movie?

He's gotten in really good with prestigious circles in Hollywood moviemaking and has the kind-of good looks that some women really adore. It's not hard to see why they tapped him for Suicide Squad, trying to make Heath Ledger happen twice.

Captain America 2 and 3 were one plot whole after another. At least 3 had enough action to distract you from how stupid the whole thing is.

I also can't be the only person who is weirded out by adult women being way too in to Disney kids poo poo. "Have you seen Zendaya? She is FIERCE." Someone told me this poo poo, and I thought she was talking about a new pop singer and not some 14 year old on a terrible disney show.

Apparently she was going to play a new character but then they changed it to MJ. Not sure why, like. Just introduce a new character, really distance yourself from the Sony films. Give the comics new lore.
