Can someone explain why Jared Leto is considered a great actor?
After the inevitable ridicule of Morbius was confirmed, I am still wondering why he's considered a great actor. You can say 'oh the plot/screenplay sucked', but people have said this about a lot of his movies, and at some point he's the common denominator. Here are his past few major films.Morbius, House of Gucci, The Little Things, Suicide Squad, Dallas Buyer's club, Mr. Nobody.Dallas Buyer's club is inarguably a great movie, but I'm not sure it was due to Jared Leto. Is main talent seems to be to wear a ton of makeup and/or act like a creepy lunatic. am I the only one here? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/GyKvmVp
Samuel L Jackson Finally Won An Oscar.
And that's the saddest thing about the Will Smith Slap, he should have won this year's ago and no one is talking about it now.Regardless of how you feel about Hollywood, he is incredibly iconic in show biz and is the most profitable actor in history. That is special. Especially if you know anything about the sordid history of Black people in Hollywood.He's even in Anime!So, what is your favourite Jackson role and what performance do you think he should have won an Oscar for? For me, it was Stephen in Django Unchained.Congratulations for winning an Honorary Oscar, Mr. Jackson ✊🏾 via /r/movies https://ift.tt/toqZOfE
Anita from West Side Story is the third movie character to win 2 Oscars for 2 different performances.
There are now three movie characters that have won two oscars. The first is The Godfather’s Don Vito Corleone who won Oscars for both Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro respectively. The second is the Joker for Health Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix and third for Rita Moreno and now Ariana DeBose portrayal of Anita. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/JROt1oI
Actors Who Have Gotten Worse as They Get Older
Usually and actor or actress gets better as they get older and get more experience but I have witnessed a phenomena where it seems some of them are getting worse.Bruce Willis comes to mind. The stuff he has been in lately is god awful and he seems to be just phoning it in. Does he not care or is he losing his facility to act.Just tried to watch some movie with Mark Wahlberg and noticed the same thing. He is just woodenly delivering lines and has no energy or emotion. I started thinking about this and realized I liked him in older movies but his more recent stuff is less and less good.Maybe it’s just a Covid thing although not sure how that would make people act worse.Has anyone else noticed this or can think of any other actors that fall into this category? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/98VZabP
Why isn’t Land of the Lost starring Will Ferrell more popular?
It’s probably my favorite Will Ferrell movie. It’s hilarious and similar to all of his incredibly popular comedies.I know people who claim to be Ferrell fans that haven’t even heard of it and I rarely meet people who’ve seen it.Is it because it has the name of a really old TV show? I really don’t understand how it flew under the radar.Danny McBride’s character has so many funny lines throughout as well. It’s all around a great comedy imo.Why do you think it didn’t capture audiences like his other films? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/f4kC8Fr
Name a popular actor/actress that you can’t stand for entertainment reasons or purely personal reasons.
I’ll go first, I absolutely loathe seeing awkwafina in a film. She just makes any movie she is in unfunny. She absolutely ruined parts of Shang-chi. There’s scenes from Shang-chi that would be kind of funny until awkwafina would ruin the entire joke. Luckily Simu Liu did a great job so that saved the movie for me. She even ruined neighbors 2 for me and I thought neighbors 1 was hilarious even if it was a bit juvenile. Don’t get me started on her animated episode of the boys (not movie related but still.) I’m just not into that loud, random, purposely cringey comedy. I could do without it in pretty much any movie I can see. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/0vUaMgd

Men at Work (1990)
This movie is hilarious! Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen are garbage men in Redondo Beach who uncover a conspiracy to dump toxic waste.The movie is directed by Emilio Estevez and it’s perfectly early 90’s down to the music and style. Watching the two brothers play off each other in this movie is so fun to watch, and there are so many quotable lines.Keith David and Dean Cameron play great supporting characters, and the two hit men and the two rival Garbage men are perfectly casted. I remember watching this when it came out, and thought it was a fun and funny movie. It definitely didn’t bomb at the box office, but it didn’t really make a whole lot either.This is one of those movies that found life on VHS and that’s a good thing. If you haven’t watched this before, I highly recommend watching it. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/RzdKgDl
I watched Hackers tonight and this film holds up, it's a genuinely fun experience.
The acting's actually pretty good, the hacking bits are .. yeah a bit insane but fine. There's a damn fun cast in here too, we're looking at Angelina Jolie, Jonny Lee Miller and Matthew Lillard, who have decent acting chops. Lot of great, quotable lines too. It's well worth watching and enjoying again for a 1990s evening of hacking artistic license and a great soundtrack. Is it a masterpiece? Nah. Is it actually decent? Yeah. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/gU3ztjF
What is the most pretentious film ever?
I'd like to hear of a stupid and overly confident creative effort that is beyond human comprehension. Anything goes I don't care if it's unintentionally funny or just outright boring and tedious. It could be a hidden gem (or in this case dog crap) or a sort of popular film you find to be pretentious and overrated. Maybe something you saw at film school or some garbage movie a friend recommended. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/KCZBUHh
Rambo III is HILARIOUS to watch today. What other films have aged this poorly?
I haven't watched this movie in 30 years, but I saw it was on Netflix, so I gave it a whirl. I found myself laughing my ass off at the movie almost the entire time.There's a scene early in Rambo III where Trautman is telling the Russian officer that Afghanistan is unconquerable, because these people live here and they will never give up. Then he says that America already learned this lesson in Vietnam. Of course, it's unintentionally hilarious because America obviously did not learn this lesson, and eventually invaded Afghanistan themselves. The film then spends much of its remaining time trying to convince you that the future Taliban are really great people, which is again hilarious because of the irony.Can you think of other movies which have aged this poorly, in light of subsequent geopolitical events or changes in society? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/oYlIbyJ
Heat (1995)
Heat isn’t only one of the best crime movies, it’s arguably one of the best movies that has ever been made!Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Val Kilmer lead this star studded cast, and the writing and directing are out of this world! This movie is my favorite Michael Mann film, and he did such a great job directing this flick.The downtown robbery and escape is one of my favorite parts in any movie and it’s so thrilling and heart pounding. If you haven’t seen this movie I highly recommend it! via /r/movies https://ift.tt/RE5rJT0

Official Oscar Bingo 2022 card pickup thread. Come get a Bingo card and join us in the fun on Sunday during the Oscars!
Alright everyone, Oscar Sunday is quickly approaching and with it the growing anticipation to simultaneously be enthralled and disappointed by the glamour and politics of Hollywood. Well, to make it all a little more interesting we are doing Oscar Bingo again this year. A week ago we asked you guys to come up with things that might happen at the Oscars and vote for your favorites. We then collected the top 65 plausible and non redundant submissions and our friends over at www.print-bingo.com made us a Bingo game card generator that has a ton of game cards for you fine folks to download.Feel free to get however many you want for your needs but please don't waste them!Here is the gamecard generator. Just do the captcha and your card will be generated via link to a pdf. You will have to click the link for the card, don't do the captcha a bunch of times because it's not automatically downloading. That wastes cards and each one could be a winner!Check out last year's game thread for reference.Everyone is welcome to participate. On Oscar Sunday we will make an official game thread for everyone to discuss their cards and the game. The game thread will also serve as a referee zone for me and participating users to make judgement calls on the more ambiguous answers. Here are some things to know about the "competition" side of this little shindig:You can win. There will be prizes involved. It won't be anything worth writing home about. To win, you MUST do three things.Take a photo or a screenshot of the winning card with the correct squares marked.E-mail it to an e-mail account that will be posted in the game thread.Make sure the serial number on the card is either visible or included in the e-mail along with your reddit username. This will help us verify that there's no funny business, hoopla, or any befuddling of any sort.This is the cleanest way to do it, first three valid e-mails that meets all of that criteria win. Once the winners are validated we will update OP in the game thread.This thread will be stickied until Oscar night when we make the game thread. There will also be an official Oscar discussion thread separate from the Bingo game thread.Finally, none of this ridiculousness could have been possible for such a large-scale website without print-bingo.com, and they have a message for us!"Print-Bingo.com is used by hundreds of teachers, event hosts, party organizers, and ex-pats in all corners of the globe to make both traditional and custom bingo cards through a web browser. We are happy to help Reddit with this fun, specialized, use of our website."So hey! Pick up a gamecard. Pick up 5. Play with your friends. Play alone with your cat. And let this be a reminder to all of us not to take the Oscars too seriously. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/OMY8l5T
The first Scary Movie is actually good, I will die on that hill
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a ton of dated jokes in the movie. But unlike the “Friedman and seltzer” garbage that it spawned it actually has some good comedy. The “wassup” scene is an example of a scene that should be dated but ends up being timeless. It’s spoofing a commercial that no one remembers, but it still works because everyone knows stoners like that. And ghostface’s mask changing to a smile and then tongue sticking out will always be a good gag. I’d say it is better than Scream at the very least. The convoluted plot of the villain in scream always ruined it for me, so I enjoyed their spoof on it via /r/movies https://ift.tt/7MNd2zK
