I probably would, though—but there is absolutely no way I'm doing a handjob with that hand. ☕
You shouldn't take Rotten Tomatoes too seriously. They have some truly ridiculous ratings, honestly just as bad as IMDb.
What we're likely looking at is one of those overly pretentious movies—stunning cinematography, sure, but loaded with endless philosophizing that can feel pretty exhausting after a while.
Once Upon a Time in America was an easy ☕ pick for me. I only cast a single vote because while most of the films on this list are absolute classics, this one just has everything it needs to be special. That's why I'm going with it.
I’m firmly in the movie camp. Think about it—you could probably squeeze in three or four really solid films in the time it takes to get through one decent TV season. To me, that just makes more sense economically. 😁 Though, I have to admit, when I actually stumble upon a series that hits the mark, it’s such a massive win. The problem is that shows almost always seem to lose their spark after the first season or two—shout out to the rare exceptions, of course—so I usually just give up on them. With a movie, even if it starts off shaky, I’ll usually push through to the end. But with a series? If I’m not hooked within the first couple of episodes, there's absolutely no way I'm sticking around.
It’s a solid movie, really, but it feels like I’ve seen this story a dozen times before—kind of a retread of old tropes. It also drags on a bit too long for my taste. Still, seeing Tony Stark and THX was definitely a highlight 😁
Visually, this is going to be stunning—that’s just how it goes with every Malick film. But I can't help feeling a bit uneasy about the actual substance. I'm worried we might see a dip in quality, similar to his last two or three projects. I really hope I'm wrong about that, though.
I have to admit, his look over the last few years—all those surgeries and everything—it really gets to me. It’s hard to watch. But if you can push past that, the guy is just a genuinely good actor. For me, nothing beats him as Bukowski in Barfly; he captured that role perfectly. That was his peak.
I’m with you on the Last Detail thing—that navy uniform really does look great on him. It’s funny how that works. And as for psychopaths... I don't know if they're actually "cool" or anything, but people just seem to gravitate toward them. You see it all the time. People absolutely love characters like Joker, Hannibal Lecter, or Jack Torrance. There's just something about that archetype that draws everyone in.
Without the beard, he just looks like some average Joe picking up a rifle for the very first time. But once you see him in that third shot with the beard? He looks like a guy who’s taken out a thousand people and is just finally walking back home. 🤷
