Thought that was Sandler next to Dafoe for a second there.

Honestly, I'd love to see what could come out of mixing Eggers' and Sandler's unique brands of insanity.Thought that was Sandler next to Dafoe for a second there.
I remember him playing a character in a soap opera-ish popular TV-series in my country in around late 90s/early 00s when he might've been 19-20 (IIRC?). Everybody here knew who his successful actor father was since Skarsgård is a uniqe last name, and Stellan was already a legend at that time.I'm just glad to see Alexander Skarsgard shine for once. Always thought he had the potential to be a great actor in the right hands so I'm really excited to see what he does here.
Fam, I've got four people lined up ready to go with me. Make no mistake about my efforts.I hate how people are already acting like this is guaranteed to flop. Like, why don't y'all take that energy and put it into getting people to go see it? Same with the industry pundits already writing it off as not being an awards-contender in the very same tweets that they declare how amazing it is. These trends aren't going to get any better if we just accept cinema as doomed from the start.
I’m glad that Skarsgard is getting high praise for this. He’s always been good IMO; if you go all the way back to True Blood, he was pretty much the only thing that kept me watching until the end. And he was also really good in that (otherwise mediocre) Tarzan movie. And of course, he was great in Big Little Lies and won some well-deserved awards for it.
Maybe I'm just deludedly hopeful. I just want so badly for us not to be at the point where the GA can't handle a movie that isn't non-stop action for all three acts. Like, what the heck happened over the last 20 years to get to this point, culturally?Fam, I've got four people lined up ready to go with me. Make no mistake about my efforts.
Just reading the tea leaves based on the feedback I'm seeing, coupled with the reported budget. It seems to be Eggers' most accessible film to date, but I'm still seeing remarks about how weird it is and how slow it starts. Maybe the violence and action scenes are enough to bolster opening weekend, but my instinct is the CinemaScore won't be great and it's gonna see a significant drop-off at the box office in Week 2 once word of mouth spreads.
That says absolutely nothing about the quality of the film.
