can you tell me more about this fakeness? the whole show is fiction quote:Tokyo Vice is a fictional program inspired by real events. Certain characters, incidents and elements were fictionalized for dramatic purposes and are not intended to reflect on an actual person, history, entity or incident.

Sirotan posted:The show is set in the 1990s, and what the gently caress does this even mean? OP is saying the show looks racist for leaning on cliches/tropes for tales about Asian countries/cultures. The Chris Rock/Rush Hour reference is pretty off the mark though imo. kiimo posted:can you tell me more about this fakeness? The show is based on a book by Jake Adelstein and from cursory googling turns up that the events are highly disputed and that it's more of a fake memoir than a real one even though his book is classified as non-fiction.

I feel like we're about 3-4 years from Jon Bernthal getting an Oscar nomination, and maybe 7-8 years from him winning one. And I am here for it. Please note that this is both a praise of Jon Bernthal and a condemnation of the Oscars for not getting on the boat fast enough.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:bernthal is a loving gem Bernthal would have been a massive movie star if he were around in the 1980s but instead we get him as a character actor which I think gives him more places to shine. One of the first movies I saw him in was Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and he played a really ripped English teacher who did all of the usual English Teacher in a YA Movie things and he was great

Yeah, it's wild, in this new one he's a dead ringer for the Tony character from The Wire, I almost did a doubletake. Except Bernthal can play a chud shithead without actually being one

But speaking of Crouching Tiger I am really glad Everything Everywhere All at Once is getting good reviews because while Michelle Yeoh is a fantastic actress I really don't think she's gotten her due yet since she is still a stunt woman first in most people's eyes.

I saw it as Marlo hanging out and being all respectable, and hating every minute of it. The first chance he gets he finds a street corner and some kids to intimidate to get that adrenaline rush back.
