The band/cult 30 Seconds to Mars, Requiem for a Dream, Thin Red Line, Dallas Buyer's Club

ah that makes sense, the only one of those i've seen is requiem for a dream and that would've been almost literally 20 years ago so i didn't even realize it was him (i would've told you it was cillian murphy)

Leto has been fine in everything I've seen him in.

Though to be fair I haven't seen him in much. I heard he was pretty bad in the Gucci movie though

But the level of hate he gets on some corners of the internet is weird tbh. Started seeing it after Suicide Squad. Something about that movie really riled up the dorks

Jared Leto owns

When he does serious dramas like Requiem for a Dream or Dallas Buyer's Club he gives it 110% and gets an Oscar nomination

And when he's not doing serious films he's leading a cult where hotties have to gently caress him and then he wanders onto the set of some stupid comic book movie for babies and absolutely ruins it and these make nerds SO MAD

I had this conversation with a friend

because, he was making headlines for his incredibly lame method bullshit on the set of SKWAD, sending his costars used condoms and animal corpses and changing the backgrounds on their phones and poo poo

and the only thing I knew him from was, trans people were pretty mad because, iirc, he won an academy award for playing a transgender woman without being transgender, speaking to a transgender person, or saying the word transgender
and my friend didn't know him from anything

so I pulled up imdb and was like "oh holy poo poo, he was paul allen in american psycho"
and he was like "really? I guess before he was famous. like it's a memorable scene, but he's not really the important part of it. huh. is that all?"
and I was like "let's see, panic room, urban legend. brazil!?- oh, no, 'basil'... wow he was the main guy in requiem for a dream, how the hell was he in so many memorable roles and neither of us remember him? oh wow, he was in fight club, he was-"
and then my friend interrupted me and went "angel face"
and I was like "yeah how-"
and my friend was like half-laughing, half freaking out
according to him, we'd already had this exact same conversation, and both of us had just completely forgotten about it, because jared leto was just that forgettable of an actor, that you can spend 15 minutes researching his career and being blown away at all the awesome movies you know him from, and then two months later be like "... what has jared leto been in?"

he later summed it up with
it's difference between "that was gary oldman!? :aaaaa:"
and "... that was jared leto? :raise:"

Power of the Dog was ok, overlong and mildly boring.

Suicide Squad 2 was great and I am tired of these mother loving comic book movies in my mother loving plane.

SPACE FACE! SPACE FACE!

Booby Fett had major structural problems. He had already accomplished his goal before the first episode even aired, and then... did literally nothing after that. He didn't do things, he just showed up in places and things happened around him. Any actual forward momentum is driven by other characters.

His motivation is also inscrutable. What did he want to accomplish? By EP 4 (e.g. nearly two hours) he said he wanted to "do it right", but again he doesn't actually do anything, so it's meaningless.

I think they really screwed up by having him already in place from the Mando end stinger. If they didn't, they could have told the flashback story without having to have him spin his wheels doing nothing in the present.

The weirdest thing about Jared Leto is the fact that he is 50 years old.

If Margot Robbie were ever willing to do TV, the executives at Time Warner would greenlight a Birds of Prey show so fast they'd shatter every bone in button-pushing hand.

They had one great ending. Then it came back and it was worse but they still managed to pull off another wonderful ending.

I don't know if they'll be able to pull off the same trick again.

Also, without DiMaggio there is literally no point.
