Hasn't Hopkins, like, won Oscars recently? If he is doing a "One for you, one for me" kind of thing, I honestly can't say which are the ones he does for himself, and that's pretty awesome.

Also, I hope he got buff for his role.

He won an Oscar in 2021 (for The Father). But the man's 85, I don't think he's getting buff for anything anymore.

Hopkins does not give a poo poo and will throw himself into anything. He was energetically in a transformers movie and described Michael Bay as a genius. He seems to actually like doing pulp and his career is full of it. For every "The Human Stain" there's a "Bad Company" for every "The Two Popes" there's a "Transformers: The Last Knight"

He's an enthusiastic dude and loves the art form in every shape it takes. There's that lovely email he sent Bryan Cranston congratulating him and everyone else involved on how good Breaking Bad was.

My eyes skimmed over this and for a second I thought Hopkins showed up in the Pope's Exorcist.

The one with the insanely bad AI generated opening credits, Secret Invasion. From what I read scenes specifically of her and Samuel L. Jackson together are really good because of them but the show in general is a turd.

Showdown in the Galaxy Era.

It’s not a great show, no. But it’s hilarious in its messaging: the Skrulls, introduced in the MCU as a displaced ethnicity who barely survived genocide, were granted sanctuary on Earth…but they’ve since bitten the hand, and hatched a nefarious plot to take Earth for their own.

So, thanks Marvel for a story about how the Space Jews who are explicitly reptilian shapeshifters seek to infiltrate and destabilize our institutions.

If the twist is they work for the CIA, that would be good. But Marvel probably not gonna do that.

They did work for the CIA. But now they’re working against it. That’s why poor Nick Fury feels so blindsided.

Yeah, in exchange for asylum on Earth, the Skrulls have been acting as Nick Fury's personal shapeshifting spies since the 90's, and helping him rise through the ranks at SHIELD. During that time, Fury and Captain Marvel were supposed to be trying to find a new planet for the Skrulls to live on. The bad Skrulls in the series are the ones who got sick of waiting around for him to deliver on a promise he made 30 years ago (remember it's currently 2026 in the MCU), and have decided that they've been living on Earth for a generation already, so they might as well make it their new home.

Because this is Marvel though, they need to undercut any antagonists with understandable motivations or legitimate criticisms of the society they live in, so they're also doing terrorist attacks to harass Fury specifically.

Also the latest episode revealed that Rhodey is currently a Skrull which, depending on how far back they say it happened, could have some weird implications for the Terrence Howard / Don Cheadle recast.

It's also not like he has much to lose- overthinking poo poo and trying to only go for perceived prestige roles is how you Will Smith your career into relative obscurity, and I imagine it's a lot more fun to play twenty minutes of scenery-chewing. And it's always good to keep your hand in.

Will Smith, or Al Pacino/Robert De Niro. I guess I was astounded at the amount of schlock Hopkins is in for a moment there, but remembering what happened to half the cast of Goodfellas puts things into perspective. Hopkins' schlock at least isn't boring straight-to-DVD crap.

Well poo poo. I really hated Werewolf by Night, I thought the cinematography was dogshit but at least there were some attempts at humor, other than the usual "I guess that happened" crap.

I don't really like Gerwig's films, but apparently, from the review, this is what White perceived as pissing on Snyder's grave:

"Worst yet: One of the man-hating Barbies sneers, 'Like, I was really invested in the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League!' How could any decent industry professional attack another filmmaker this way?"

The joke is that one barbie is brainwashed to love patriarchy and toxic masculinity in the newly created "ken land" and when she comes out of brainwashing she's like "omg i imagined i was someone extremely invested in zsjl"

It rates an eyeroll at most, certainly not something to flip a table over like Armond implies
