Even Pantera would be down for that! Seriously, Kimberly Rodriguez51. You really need to open up a second clinic just so we can all get on the schedule. Honestly, you should probably just start working now. We’ll make sure to have all the disinfectant ready to go. 🍿

I don't think you're inferior or anything, I'm just pointing out some details that matter. My style might be a bit blunt or condescending, but hey, that's just how I was raised...

Apology accepted. Honestly, that movie just didn't blow me away, and I don't see all that hype. We just have different tastes. That's it. If I had to pick out something special regarding the acting, I don't know. I'd say the movie sticks in my mind as one of those early roles for Šerbedžijin. He isn't bad by any means. I actually dig the atmosphere throughout the whole thing. The message is interesting too, and that blend of religious fanaticism is a cool touch. But yeah, Fabian's performance just didn't do it for me.🍿

Patrick Martin said:quote from the original post:

"I guess that's why the censors didn't like the movie; they kept it locked away back during the South era. Šovagović was incredible as that officer constantly quoting the Bible. That’s probably why the film isn't considered suitable in modern America."

Are you even reading this thread?

The guy clearly explained WHY that role matters—it's controversial.

But whatever, to you it's just nothing special, 🍿 "

To me, playing with those kinds of dynamics was pretty heavy back then. And it still is.

So, props to the director for being brave. ☕

pardon. That controversial role wasn't anything special to me given the time period. Once again, my apologies for the gap in our understanding of the subject matter. I just don't have the capacity to grasp it. See, when I was a baby, I hit my head on the concrete right after birth, so I assume that's why I struggle to communicate with intellectually superior people like you.🍿

Dennis Hall41 said:I’m bringing him up because Fabian is a similar kind of actor—super low-key, often just a still presence on screen, but man, he has this massive gravity. That scene where he just paces the room two or three times in Matewan? He captured that internal turmoil perfectly.

In Black Bird, even though there isn't one single lead, his performance was so solid I actually wish he had more screen time.

I get what you're saying. But honestly, besides what you mentioned, his role here is way too short, and he feels more like a caricature than a real person. It's just the same thing over and over. He stares gloomily and recites poetry. Just didn't do much for me. 🍿

Some roles are supporting, but if they land right within the context of the movie, they can be absolute masterpieces. This is one of those cases.

See? You actually learned something. ☕

Thanks for the lesson. I’m truly humbled by your massive intellect and sincerely appreciate you trying to set me straight. 👍

Dennis Hall41 said:David Strathairn is easily one of my top 10 favorite actors ever, and I think he's only had one real lead role in his career, in George Clooney's "Good Night."
I wouldn't be surprised if he barely has more than 10 lines or shows up for more than 15 minutes in 90% of his movies.
Maybe in some TV shows, but I don't really care about series.

You could have caught him just yesterday in John Sayles' Matewan—great flick, highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.
The guy isn't even acting; he just exists on screen. I can't wait to see him again. One look from him says more than ten mediocre hacks and overactors combined.

As for Fabian, maybe I went a little overboard. I actually liked him better in rhythm of crime.

For sure. I've seen what you mean with all those supporting roles. I haven't checked out that movie yet, but I'll definitely watch it now that you suggested it. I really dig Fabian in Fadilov's films, for instance. He plays a supporting part there too, but in my opinion, those roles are way higher quality, which is why I reacted that way. Might've been a bit blunt, and yeah, I use those emojis sometimes. Sorry if I went too far; at the end of the day, it's all just personal taste.👍

Dennis Hall41 said:If you're talking about Fox or rhythm crime, then fine, I'll take the facepalm. Otherwise, I'm hitting you back with something even worse than a facepalm.

I’m talking about his entire body of work here. Don't overdo it. It's fine. You're impressed. You love this movie, whatever. But you know you just said something stupid. In this one, he basically just shows up for a few shots, recites some poetry, and looks moody. It's a total caricature.🍿

The train already left. It's over. 🙂

Rachel Evans94 said:Is there any way to vote more than once?
It only let me vote one time.

Lucky you. Once is plenty. 🙂

Dennis Hall41 said:This movie is pure brilliance, and probably Šovagović's best performance yet.

It’s a real shame it doesn't get the same recognition as those other legendary American classics from 1967.

🤦

Are Boom and steelorca5 total posers? I checked them out just to be sure. Honestly, I'm the only one here with any actual style. 🍿

Man, what an idiot! 🤦
Nothing comes of it. I just end up messing around with myself when I'm being stupid.🤦

Everything’s a mess right now. Shocks to the system, the pandemic... everything. But spring is finally here. This isn't the time to be picky about opportunities. You grab whatever comes your way first, and you make the most of it. 🍿

Here’s the poll! Let's see just how many clones you guys can pull out of thin air. 🙂

So some people can vote for a ton of different users. How does that even work? I always just vote for myself because I can't pick anyone else, but if everyone else is doing that, is this even legitimate? Is there any way to call for a referendum on the voting system? 🍿

Give me a break. You look just as stunning as that portrait by Dorian. 🙂

Mia, can you please send me that list so I know my way around? I'm an old man, after all. 🍿

Chloe Cooper10 said:Just ask Dustin🥳

Is Dustin both Gelly and Hela? 🤣

I mean, seriously. How old is the person who started this thread anyway? 🤦

Move this thread to the lounge. 🤦

So what’s your stake in this? I don't get why you care so much about who your friend is seeing. Unless you're actually the guy she dumped and now you're just bitter because her new boyfriend is playing the hero? 🤔
