As far as physicality goes Bautista was perfect for the antagonist in the new Kickboxer franchise. Unfortunately the movie sucked.

He was a bit wasted in Spectre but he still was good in it for the material he was given.

His scene in Bladerunner was one of the best scenes in the film. In all of 5 minutes you learn almost every single facet of the current world’s socioeconomic status. It was a shame he wasn’t in the movie more than that.

Watch Jurassic World (or don’t it sucks) and you’ll realize that he’s a funny and charming dude who just can not play lead, he works way better as a goofy sidekick like Andy Dwyer.

I'm thinking maybe the best 80s/present casting on Dark is Hannah. I instantly knew that girl was her.

I haven't really seen any talk about it here but Alias Grace is pretty good. It didn't end the way I thought it would and I'm a bit confused about how some of the circumstances near the end played out or came to pass but it's still rattling around in my brain a week later so I think it's a success. And it's nice to see an actual one-and-done series instead of the cliffhanger-into-the-next-season formula.

I just watched Wheelman, easily my favourite movie of 2017. It's basically the first two minutes of Drive, stretched to a whole movie. It's mostly just the driver in his car, talking to accomplices via phone. It's super-tense, and the acting is really good. 5 out of 5 stars

Simon and Garfunkel didn't cast him as a weirdly predatory father figure to a young adult man, is the key difference there. e: like, it's less the name Baby and more Spacey's character in the movie in general that's making me go "oh, poo poo" about it.

I want to see Grillo and Gosling in a movie together now. Remake Bulleit or something.

We watched a movie called Good Satan on prime and we were laughing like idiots the whole time. Satan gets invited to a party at God's and finds out the second coming is happening and that would mean he'd be committed to Hell forever. So he tries to pull a fast one and trick his way into Heaven. It's stupid funny and has some hilarious lines. Also Satan is literally a guy in red paint wearing long underwear. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, some of the jokes might be a little juvenile, but at least check out the fight scene towards the end.

I know nocturnal animals is supposed to be good, but like 30 minutes in I'm finding this borderline unwatchable.

I don't remember anything particularly grating or annoying about Nocturnal Animals. Yes, it beats you over the head with the point of the book. But I think the joke is that the intended recipient of a message like that will still manage to not get it.

Yeah, Nocturnal Animals is a great little movie about a messed up lady and a pretty on-the-nose harrowing narrative that she manages to avoid fully confronting because of how messed up she is.

I'm gonna finish it today so I can be sure in my opinion. it all just feels very melodramatic and corny like a sleazy romance novel and it feels like it's trying to hard to be arty in this way that rubs me wrong. It feels like a soap opera meets David Lynch, but without the confidence to pull it off.

Of all the phrases I would've imagined people would throw around to describe why they don't like Nocturnal Animals, "without confidence" would never have crossed my mind. What is there in the film that gives you the impression that it's not a confident movie?

No it's not similar. it just gave me the same looming feeling that it thought it was smarter than it really was. I'll shut up about Nocturnal Animals until I finish it. I don't want to end up loving it and have to back pedal.
