i watched Under the Cherry Moon (in the theater on 35mm) and Sign o' The Times (on Tubi), both were sick. i'm fully on the Under the Cherry Moon Critical Reevaluation Squad.

Envious. I've been deliberately putting off seeing Under the Cherry Moon until I can catch it in person in a theater. I was a lot less keen on Purple Rain than I'd expected, but I vaguely recall reading that Cherry is more batshit and less a surprise PSA on spousal abuse.

I didn't like it as much as Purple Rain (caveat: i love Purple Rain, 5/5 movie for me), but Prince definitely got better as an actor between the two movies. And Kristin Scott Thomas is so good! What a debut performance!

What Mike Leigh film should I watch next? Ive seen:

Abigail’s Party
Vera Drake

Apart from Mr. Turner, the only one I've seen is Naked, which is outstanding but very bleak and depressing (and funny) (also cw: sexual assault)

Danny McBride becoming one sort of guy when the first time I remember seeing him is in All The Real Girls (because Jody, Danny, and David Gordon Green I believe are all college friends, if not even older friends than that?) is very weird.

Really underrated movie and yeah ground zero for a lot of great actors. Shea Whigham is so young in it!

Failed Imagineer posted:

Michael Shannons weirdest role like that is probably in The Night Before as the weed dealer but he absolutely nails it. I think that role might also be closest to his real life persona

i like him as the evidence locker guy who gets pushed around by Nick Cage in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans

Tom Cruise gets the vibe of Reacher even if he's too small. Not a lot of actors could sell the line where he says he's going to drink someone's blood out of his boot.

i thought the big shift the last season of Barry took was a huge miscalculation but the first three and a half or so seasons were so good

i think the last moment i really liked was the attempted prison hit, which also might be the only time i've ever found Fred Armisen funny.

fake edit: actually i think the cameo from the director of CODA was the following episode, that bit was really good.

I really enjoyed season 1, but felt totally satisfied at the end of it. It more or less ended on no matter what he does he'll never be able to escape who he is or what hes done. Everything I've heard about the later seasons of the show just seems like drawn-out reinforcement of that. I felt like it made its point extremely well and I didn't need more, but glad to hear that more or less it remained as high-quality.

I think seasons 2 and 3 are excellent, and the finale of season 3 honestly feels like a perfectly natural ending point for the series so I think you could stop there and not miss out on much.

I remember while season 4 was going on there was some article going around with a headline like “Bill Hader says Larry David told him he should’ve ended Barry after season 3” and i was like, yeah, Larry David was right.

Interview With a Vampire is a good Cruise performance, but at max it's the second-best use of him as an actor after Eyes Wide Shut

Eyes Wide Shut is a good use of him as a screen presence, Interview With the Vampire is a great use of him as an actor

In what? I straight up don't like that guy. Except he's hot

i think he's good in Fight Club. you can see the gears start to turn in Seven, he still seems like a dumb young shithead in it but that's what the role calls for.

like a lot of people, he gave his best ever performance for the Coen brothers (Burn After Reading)

Coaaab posted:

pondering "who had their career-best performance in a kubrick film" and can only think of arguables like george c. scott, peter sellers, malcolm mcdowell. never seen anything else douglas rain did, but that may be the winner by default

McDowell probably qualifies, although I love him in Lindsay Anderson's movies. while I do think George C. Scott gives the best performance in Dr. Strangelove, I don't think you could call it his best performance overall.

Full Metal Jacket has a couple contenders (Matthew Modine, Vinnie D'onofrio, and of course R. Lee Ermey)

i think the trouble with claiming Eyes Wide Shut as a performance highlight for Cruise is not only does he get blown off the screen in pretty much any scene he shares with Nicole Kidman (understandable) but in one scene he gets blown off the screen by Alan Cumming

Uncle Boogeyman
Jul 22, 2007

I assume Alan Cumming is all classically shakespeare trained and stuff and that's great but i can't look at him without thinking of his extremely grating role as "i'm invincible!" guy in Goldeneye

Uncle Boogeyman
Jul 22, 2007

he did make a good Nightcrawler and that's my favorite comic book character so to be clear i have no smoke with Alan Cumming (although when he pops up in Goldeneye i am like "man i wish this guy would be Alan Going")

i also liked him in Josie and the Pussycats.

Famously Kubrick tricked him into giving that performance. He didn't want to go that broad but Kubrick said he do it just for rehearsal and that the shouting parts wouldn't make it into the movie.

the part where he trips and tumbles and just keeps going is so good
