He's been linked to a new Tron film so I guess that franchise is dead to me.

Tron Legacy was pretty emotional for me, I lost my favorite uncle when I was young and he was the techy computer sci-fi guy who got me into nerdy stuff. Also Olivia Wilde has flawless bone structure and Jeff Bridges is always amazing.

Guys you don't have to go out of your way to hate actual good movies like Requiem for a Dream because it has Leto in it (and saying it ripped off Perfect Blue because of one shot is some galaxy brain poo poo). You can rather hate his extremely lovely not good at all music instead.

But at some point when he was doing press after being cast as Joker you could actually hear the *crack*ping* of his brain. He was absolute dog poo poo in both Suicide Squad and Blade Runner 2049.

Yeah, the only real weak link was the guy who played Sam, considering it was the period before Hollywood settled on the Chrises as the go-to for playing white male leads. And even he's not terrible, he's just kinda there.

If they have Daft Punk do the score and get Olivia back I'll still see Tron even if Leto is in it.

Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club is just repulsive to me. It's like doing a minstrel show, but for trans women.

Roth posted:Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club is just repulsive to me. It's like doing a minstrel show, but for trans women. Agreed! And he shouldn't have taken the role or even been offered it to begin with, and everyone involved is a bad PERSON. Which is again, more than enough reason to hate Leto. Again, nothing to do with the performance though.

I do agree that making fun of a sex pest's acting or creative ability does feel like bad priorities.

To be clear, I think Jared Leto's performance in Dallas Buyers Club is actually bad. I don't know who decided on how Rayon should be portrayed, but it's reprehensible in a way that makes me hesitate to call it any kind of good.

Imagine picking "Jared Leto actually is a good actor!" as the thing you want to make a point about when it comes to Jared Leto.

It's super unimportant because if you won't watch a movie because Jared Leto is in it, finding out he's a really good actor in it isn't gonna convince you to watch it.

When Leto went on a villain monologue while he stabbed and murdered a chained, naked women in br2049 he was playing himself and that's all you need to know about Jared Leto Well, besides the fact that he's an alleged child rapist, cult leader, and no you as a cis man don't get to judge whether a person like that deserves praise for acting as a trans person in a movie

In fact I've said multiple times that he's a straight up terrible person, as was everyone involved with his casting. In fact, him being involved with it at all made me even like McConaughey less!

He's still an absolute trash person who is most likely a kid diddler and is a confirmed cult leader at the very least. I don't think he should be in anything or anyone should pay to see him in anything, even if when he is in stuff he is sometimes good. That's all I'm saying. You don't gotta say he's across the board terrible at his job cause he's a bad person. Or, if you do, Thirty Seconds to Mars is right there.

Jared Leto could be an actual literal saint, hovering in the air manifesting stigmata and curing the blind and the afflicted with his miraculous aura, and he'd still completely suck poo poo in Dallas Buyer's Club.

I think that no one here actually likes Jared Leto and acting ability is monumentally subjective so dogpiling on people when everyone pretty much agrees on the topic at hand is an annoying look for this forum.

She has to be naked, covered in goo and worse, have Jared Leto all up in her poo poo. All while he talks about how we need slaves. Thank god the movie never once tries to show Wallace as a good or decent person.
