Sounds completely bonkers. Is it more horror horror, or more Cronenberg body horror.

Theater really shows who has the true chops.I saw Adam Driver in a play the other night, 5 rows back dead center. That guy’s physicality is astonishing. You get a hint of it onscreen, but in person it’s unlike any actor I’ve ever seen. He moves like a gorilla, but the way that gorillas move smoothly and effortlessly with a forceful grace.
Combined with his talent and training, he’s really the best we have going in that 40 and under generation. And he’s in the conversation as the best around, period.
Seeing him in that play convinced me he has potential to be an all timer on the Brando, De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis level.
Definitely more Cronenberg, but over the top even for that. But also lots of Kubrick and some Lynch, Carrie… it leans heavily into its influences and references/homages. It’s a wild ride.Sounds completely bonkers. Is it more horror horror, or more Cronenberg body horror.
Funny coincidence. Last night one of my friends texted on a running group text thread we have that he was watching The Last Picture Show. His take: “Man it’s dark and depressing.”No love for Last Picture Show? I haven’t seen most of his others but what I loved most about that one was not only the appreciation of cinema woven into the story, but also how it was ostensibly a nostalgic movie (‘50s) but was really more of-the-times (‘70s) and darker than expected. Jeff Bridges was fantastic and so was Timothy Bottoms. Plus, the young Cybill Shepherd killed it and was very easy on the eyes. Ellen Burstyn, Cloris Leachman, wow.
I also loved Bogdanovich as comic relief and an intellectual/academic counterpoint to Tony Soprano. What a great little role as Melfi’s therapist.
Adam Driver’s birthday is actually this coming Tuesday (November 19). He’ll be 41 so he’ll no longer be in the 40 and under generation.I saw Adam Driver in a play the other night, 5 rows back dead center. That guy’s physicality is astonishing.

Total smoke show.young Cybill Shepherd killed it and was very easy on the eyes.
Great sig line.I watched The Dead Don't Hurt last night. I enjoyed it, but I'm in no hurry to watch it again any time soon. Had a few Deadwood alums in it.
Conclave is probably my second favorite film of this year (Dune Part 2 is the best). It builds a strong narrative deftly, with an array of great performances, and a whip crack emotional ending that no one must spoil for you. Massive Oscar bait, but in this case, it's fine with me.Has anyone else seen Conclave? I watched it this weekend and really enjoyed it. I'd say it's a strong Oscar contender for Best Picture and Actor for Fiennes for sure, but possibly also Director, Supporting Actor for Tucci, Supporting Actress for Rossellini, Score, Adapted Screenplay, etc.
I think it's his best film, and there is some irony in his admiration for Welles, when the latter's best film is likewise at the start of his own career.No love for Last Picture Show?

Excellent film, probably a top ten of the year for me. The ending is slightly too clever, but so much is nearly perfect up to that. Somewhere on the border between horror and thriller. Grant has great fun in a fine performance.
I loved the original but was so bummed when I heard Mescal was cast. Great actor but the guy is just not a badass no matter how much muscle he packs on. He wouldn’t hurt a fly, just way too nice to pull it off. Maybe Denzel can carry it.Saw Gladiator 2...very meh. I'm not sure if Ive seen a good movie this year so far.
I love going to the movie theater, but I'm really worried about the lack of good films.
It's not in theaters any more, but Hotel Mumbai is probably the best movie you've never heard of. It's based on a true story.Saw Gladiator 2...very meh. I'm not sure if Ive seen a good movie this year so far.
