THE CINEMA LOUNGE

That's exactly how I felt about Tom Hardy until thankfully he got The Bikeriders and (hopefully) Havoc.

With Hardy I'm like 90% sure that the reason he hasn't been in a whole lot outside of the Venom movies for the better part of the last decade is to spend more time with his kids, which would also explain why he's so game to do the Venom movies. I have yet to see The Bikeriders but that to me looked like his return to more serious roles.

I guess this is what Bob Iger meant when he said he's done making movies diverse.

It's especially puzzling because nobody gave a single solitary **** about that character in the movie and it's not like Billy Magnussen is some big in demand actor. If someone like Glen Powell had played Prince Anders all of this would at least make sense.

Blake Lively is everywhere these days.

LMAO my mom thought the same thing when I showed her the movie. I can see why they'd have jumped to that conclusion with Gandalf saying "Come along Samwise, keep up" as he's leading the horse.

I had someone at the theater say that too.

 

[Kane52630]

Since I see everything in theaters, there have been three trailers so far that played in front of almost every movie this year, Argylle, A Quiet Place Day One, and now Speak No Evil.

Phoenix definitely getting sued. That Joker money might pay for it tho. Mara can also just take money from them GIANTS. Eh.

With Gena Rowlands' passing, I definitely understand the urge from people to be offended at trades eulogizing her as 'Notebook star' but I also feel like a lot of these people don't realize who directed The Notebook, because it feels like trashing her son's movie is not exactly the most respectful way to 'honor her legacy.'

 

[ComicChick]

ill be honest, i did not know her son directed it until i read the article by the NY Times

I haven't seen much backlash but are people really that mad about it? In any case, I think it just boils down to recency bias in addition to The Notebook being her most well-known movie by a very wide margin. At the same time, there's no argument that while the clear leads of that movie are McAdams and Gosling, Gena Rowlands (and James Garner) definitely left a significant impact on viewers. The ending is maybe the most talked about aspect of it and that's all her and Garner.
