'Trash'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Why are you in an argument with someone who thinks De Niro is not a good actor, but rather a film star?
I'm not in an argument. I'm just putting together a one and done tactical strike.
I think I'll take those back. Thanks!
Brad Pitt is also excellent in Moneyball. Similar to his work in Tree Of Life, he just disappears into the role.
Also Pitt in "Snatch."
Or 12 Monkeys. Or Fight Club. Or Seven. I don't know, I like Brad Pitt.
Oh, Fight Club, yeah! I loved him in that.
Sadly, I'm not sure I've ever seen Samuel Jackson in anything that required actual acting, except possibly the third Die Hard movie. I loved him in that.
Me too! I love that movie in general, even though I later learned it was actually some other movie that was turned into a Die Hard sequel.
He acted in Unbreakable !
Samuel Jackson's performance as Gator in Jungle Fever is great. Definitely not a star turn.
De Niro played a real dork in "King of Comedy"--the saddest fanboy in the world wrod, Hec, I'd almost forgotten that one.
I didn't hate Brad Pitt in Tree of Life and that's saying something. There were only a few moments where he was showing how hard he was working.
I thought DeNiro was unrecognizable in Raging Bull, but I don't really have a problem with DeNiro, Fockers notwithstanding.
Wow. No one told me there was Two and a Half Men in Due Date.
Is there a name for the genre of "Person so fucking pathological, but the protagonist spends the whole movie with them anyway, and doesn't shoot them in the head"?
This had the most plausible-to-me ending of that sort of movie I've seen in a while, but seriously. OMG.
