Yeah but then someone decides hiring Smith for a studio job is a good idea but then it comes out that he doesn't know how to use different lenses.

I don't know the specifics, that was just the thing I heard. Smith has publicly trashed Willis over Cop Out.

I think that was the gist of it, it was his first big studio movie and he didn't get to work with his normal DP who knew Kevin's shorthand for "make this a wide, make this a zoomed in shot" that they developed since they were teenagers. He absolutely does not have the chiseled in focal length/lens knowledge a film school grad would because he never really went that route, he just started making movies. It's kind of endearing from my perspective. I think it's really easy to criticize his lack of lens savvy, something anybody can learn in a 10 minute youtube video. While completely ignoring the fact that it's a monumental achievement to shoot and finish ANY feature length film, never mind actually sell it, and 5+ more after that, while still saying "ehhh, i'll get to that tutorial on how to work my camera after i finish the next one..."

Bruce Willis hasn't really tried in a starring role since at least Looper.

Looper is the exception. I'd say Unbreakable was the end of trying being a regular thing for him.

I liked it, and I could see how someone in their late teens or early 20's would love it. I was surprised to see Susan Sarandon's daughter in it (I think I've only seen her in Californication before watching that), and I think Jena Malone is great in about everything she does. Since I was 17 in the late 80's, it was movies like The River's Edge and Heathers that were my favorite films, and I think they still hold up. I did get lost in my early to mid 20's when I thought Gregg Araki's movies like Doom Generation were cool. I am sure those movies don't hold up at all. Of course you can't mention favorite films for teenagers in the 90's without mentioned Kids. nate fisher fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Feb 12, 2019 |

I should note that I still do love Donnie Darko, but I don't identify with it nearly as much as I did as a teen. It's a very  film and both Gyllenhaals are fantastic in it. Actually, the entire cast is really good in it.The Directors Cut is a bunch of horseshit though, I know Kelly really really wanted the INXS song in the film but The Killing Moon is much more thematically appropriate. And then every single change he made was for the worse.

Norwegian Rudo posted:Watching Altered Carbon and enjoying it a lot, but I do find it amusing that despite looking like they spent literally all the money on it it still features a bunch of the regular Vancouver sci-fi crew. I'm not complaining mind you, it's like seeing an old friend every time one pops up. I'm working my way through this now, and every time Matt Frewer is on screen is a delight. Though that could probably be said of any show.

I'm definitely waiting until there's a consensus for the season as a whole, then putting off watching it for around 6 years.

Almost done with season 1 of my Lost rewatch. Really glad that I forgot basically everything. I even forgot about Boone's death! And the science teacher going boom in the finale was a nice surprise too. He obviously had to go after he called the gang out for forming a pretty exclusive clique (and Hurley for not losing any weight). Can't wait to get to the lovely parts. Jack's tattoo flashback here I come!

I have zero issue w/ Chris Pratt being religious and tbh kind of find it refreshing to see a young(er), popular af actor being so open about it b/c I think faith is a beautiful thing to have, even if I don't have it myself, and I wholly respect people who are religious but realistic about it/don't take the gospel of their poo poo churches so literally and instead preach love and forgiveness/etc That said Hillsong Church is loving trash and he should prob find another congregation if he's actually a cool dude imo

This is probably horrible for me to say as a gay person myself lmao, but there's a big difference between a church that in its foundations has some lovely views on LGBT people that may or may not be p commonly held within the congregation, and churches that still believe in conversion therapy
