Bluesky comment

I’m not going to pretend these are bad films (I don’t even mind the Woody film) but this doesn’t exactly scream “voracious cinephile with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of genre and world cinema” so much as “dad who watches a lot of TNT.”

  2. Toy Story 3 (2010)
  3. Lost in Translation (2003)

    ‘There Will Be Blood’ would stand a good chance at being #1 or #2 if it didn’t have a big, giant flaw in it … and the flaw is Paul Dano. Obviously, it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but it’s also drastically obvious that it’s not a two-hander. [Dano] is weak sauce, man. He is the weak sister. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fcking actor in SAG [laughs].”

    What the fuck lol. I thought Dano did an excellent job with that role. This has got to be some sort of personal grudge, right?

        I’m with you, I thought Dano was excellent, especially playing opposite DDL in that movie.

        I have no idea who Austin Butler is tbh. Looks at his IMDB and I’ve seen some things he’s been in, but I guess he’s just never stood out to me. He was in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, so maybe he was just the first youngish male actor that popped into Quentin’s head at that moment?
