i don't know, Washington was so pretty back then; when Thompson's Beatrice says to his offer of marriage, "No, my lord, unless I might have another for working-days: your grace is too costly to wear every day" it really lands!

The Iceman Cometh is eighty-six hours long and you need some kind of lifebuoy for that

Sam Neill is very good in Hunt For The Wilderpeople, can only imagine the carnage if Bloom lives to be the appropriate age for that kind of role.

He was perfectly cast for that role. The problem is, that's about the extent of his range.

Weaving often doesn’t tone down his stage style for the screen but is great or fine in Proof, Priscilla, Bodyline, Bangkok Hilton, The Interview, Mystery Road, The Dressmaker, Royal Hotel et al Now you might observe that most of these are clustered before he started doing things for money on American schedules, but I couldn’t possibly comment

I'm sure he's been mentioned already and I don't think anyone likes him but I just watched Bradley Cooper in Maestro and he's so terrible in it

I’ve always hated Hugo Weaving. Guy Pearce too.
Bryce Dallas Howard is bad, but I feel sorry for her bc she always seems like she’s who people call when “we can’t afford Jessica Chastain”
Can’t stand Evan Rachel Wood, but I haven’t seen Kajillionaire yet, and she was good as Madonna
Is Domnhall Gleeson an option? I don’t like him at all

your (correct) use of pronouns
Not quite sure what you mean.
I was probably pretty vague; I meant that Weaving was the best part of the film, imho.

Guy Pearce also great in Priscilla, remember him as good in LA Confidential but it’s been a while.
― mojo dojo casas house (gyac), Thursday, 28 December 2023 21:44 (three months ago) link
Also Gabriel Byrne is not good apart from Millers Crossing
I mean, he is the lead. It's been 30 years, but I remember his performance as being creditable.
I seem to remember him not being terrible in The Usual Suspects.
