I have a question. Is this all really because he has ego? I’ve heard most good actors have very large egos.
Is this because he doesn’t sport a GQ model’s face? Well… who of us does?
Is this because he has limited range? That doesn’t mean that he can’t be a fine character actor. Wallace Beery is my cite.
Look… I feel like I’m judging someone I don’t know. Granted I don’t know many actors and the ones who I’ve seen walking on the street either look down with angry scowls on their faces or try to give out freely ‘The Stink Eye’ ( Yeah, Sam Elliott, that’s you. ) But what if this guy is one of the rare few with a decent personality IRL… someone you could BS with over appetizers and a cold beer on a fine afternoon?
As for pitting him sight-unseen… let’s just say… I have reasonable doubt.
Loved his chicken impersonation in that. But as noted, given that he’s playing a flamboyant showoff in the film it’s maybe not the best example of “not making it about him”.
A good point. That said, if I ever did meet him, I’d hate to have to look away because I trash-talked him in a way that I felt wasn’t truly fair. But that’s just me… and it’s more than likely that he wouldn’t care.
O.k. It was too funny. Someone in the “Cozy” thread in Cafe Society said the Pie in the Sky series wasn’t too bad, so, I started watching some episodes today. And who do I see? Andy Serkis! A 30 yo Andy Serkis. And the ended up trapped in a chicken coop face-to-chicken-face with an aggressive bird. Made me laugh anyway.
I am not here to judge either you or your opinions on art. Many say that my likes of art and film are the very worst form of heathen trash. Today, I mourn the loss of the end of a TV series “Better Things” which I’m sure that you would call cheap sentimental junk.
I admit that I am no film critic… and that nothing that i write would ever be received by any Academy of Awards with anything but contempt. I only know that I like what I like.
Not all the actors I admire are smirking GQ suit models. Not all the tv and film actresses that I think about pose covers on magazines. Perhaps I should be ashamed that i would think of any actress at all as beautiful ( whether the world does or doesn’t ) as I have never earned that right. If I’m very lucky… maybe they’ll never know.
No one on this earth should ever find out the hard way that one of their fans… is as ugly as sin.
