TS: Michael Cera Vs. Michael Gira

yeah, gira can go fuck himself for life

is this effectively the michael cera thread now? too bad it has that other fucker's name in the title. anyway, no michael cera thread is complete without reference to Wally Brando, his greatest and most important role

absolutely

Cera deserves credit for mostly doing weird shit that leans into his oddball screen presence, like TP:TR, Entertainment, and the Silva movies

he is great in This is the End

there's a delightful moment in Tyrel (out December 5th) where Cera, having arrived mid-way into a weekend-long house party, smirks admiringly across a table at Caleb Landry Jones' pasty white oddball character. the crown has been usurped, the sceptre knowingly passed.

Has Cera played really creepy roles like Gita? I can't think

Creepy roles like Caleb rather, too much gin

Yeah, Cera’s brief moments in This is the End (probably the funniest thing in the film) and Twin Peaks really stood out and warmed me to him again after that unfortunate (can’t really blame him) several year stint as the go-to charmingly awkward indie kid in some not great movies. Sounds like a good dude in interviews too. I like him.

Gira was an earth shaking force throughout a lot of my life. Even New Swans felt totally vital until it... just kinda didn’t. Something to be said for just stopping. That’s not even taking into account the accusation. Idk, I’m kind ok with leaving it all behind.

i still love and appreciate Swans historical catalogue but I don't need to listen to anything further from him or go see him play.
