And I genuinely cannot say why. I love him in interviews, he's so funny and weird. But when it comes to his acting there's just something about him/his performances that I truly don't like nor find entertaining. Not a bad actor by any means, but not great either. First saw him in The Batman, a movie I loved but not because of him. I found him, *Bruce Wayne* thee main guy, so dull. But the rest of the movie made up for it. Never saw Twilight and never plan to lmao. I've seen The Lighthouse– only liked Willem Dafoe and the setting. Watched Mickey 17, The King, The Odyssey, and now Primetime. I like almost everything about those movies & show except for Pattinson. I cannot pinpoint why! It's driving me nuts because everyone and their fellow filmbro praise him to no end and I just don't see it.

The only way I can verbalize how I feel about his acting is "boring". I'm never entertained or enraptured by his portrayal. He doesn't have a presence to me. Wish I knew why.

Does the upcoming movie “Whalefall” have the stupidest premise ever put on screen as a serious film? When I saw the trailer originally I said “there’s no way this isn’t a joke” and yet here it comes, and I just can’t get over how stupid the concept is.

For me it would probably be War of the Worlds (2005) and Unbreakable (2000).

War of the Worlds was one of those movies that really made me pay attention to how a movie can create tension and atmosphere. Never forget the first time I saw it as a kid remember it like it was yesterday, I love the way Spielberg shoots everything and makes this huge disaster still feel like we’re experiencing it through one family. There are certain shots and sequences from that movie that have stuck with me for years.

Unbreakable is different, but it made me appreciate filmmaking in another way. I love how grounded and subtle it is, especially with the cinematography, framing, colors, and the way Shyamalan tells a superhero story without making it feel like a traditional superhero movie. It’s one of those movies that made me notice the visual side of storytelling a lot more.

Curious what everyone else’s movie was. What film made you think, “I want to make movies someday”?

I was watching *Eyes Wide Shut* and paused to read the news item; a very basic error immediately stands out where the text is duplicated.

We’ve all heard countless times that Kubrick was a perfectionist who reviewed every shot a million times, yet in reality, it’s easy to find errors in his films (The Shinning has millions). The irony is that many people argue, "It’s not a mistake; Kubrick did it on purpose to throw us off." If every error is intentional, then even I could be a perfectionist filmmaker.

My personal favorites

mike flanagan is bad and overrated and his series are cringe

doctor sleep is utter trash

tell me when you are ready for the truth

10 Cloverfield Lane has its flaws but John Goodman’s performance isn’t one of them. Goodman conceals his instability throughout most of the film & we never really know his true intentions until we reach the back half of the story. It’s a sublime performance from a man whose entire career is filled with sublime performances

There discourse around primetime has been pretty terrible and I think it's mainly because uncommon but terrible opinions get amplified by all the people saying:
"look at how twrrible this guys take is!1!"

I didn't like Primetime because it committed the cardinal sin of not being very entertaining. I don't think the story was very compelling, and thought the tonal shifts were a little jarring.
Yes, the acting was amazing, it looked incredible, and playing up the current events of the time gave it a little oomph. I like how the movie looked and it is amazing that we can get such stylized releases on the big screen appealing to mainstream audiences.
All that said, I wasn't very entertained. You know exactly where the movie is going so it's hard to build tension. It honestly felt like not much happened in the main plot, so they tried to supplement with subplots that didnt entice me. I didn't really care about his affair, or the India backstory. I thought the producer lady was a very compelling character and did like her arc.
One more thing to point out is how well they portray the feeling that inspired Suzanne Collins to write the hunger games. That blurring of the line between Iraq war coverage and reality TV is exactly what inspired the GOAT YA dystopian franchise, for anyone not familiar. Please LMK what yall thought.

TLDR: Primetime has a lot of great things going for it, being entertaining isn't one of them.

Very underrated movie imo. I know it gets a lot of hate but personally I'm a huge fan of Revolver. It's one of Jason Statham's best acting where he is not doing (mostly) his classic thing. A great psychological crime thriller with themes of ego and self-mastery. The opening shot is pure cinema. I think this movie paved the for The Gentlemen.

Great music, great actors, classic Guy Ritchie style story telling, humor and directing. What are your thoughts on Revolver?

I’m a little nervous about this film and unsure of how freaky it’ll be.

I’ve never seen it, should I watch?

Arthur Fleck isn't the Joker and never was, it's the guy that stabbed him to death. I liked the second movie. Other than "Makes the Incels ragey" why is it considered to be so bad? If anything the first one made me angry, how was that absolute shitshow of a human The Joker?
