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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

No, Idiocracy Is Not A Documentary
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
