        People write roles for him to be that way

        People aren’t paying for him to be someone else

        Nothing about his acting ability

          I ain’t paying shit to see a brick wall make funny faces but y’all do you, I just don’t get it. Moana is the only movie I can think of that his lack of acting ability wasn’t distracting to me. There are plenty of people I like as people but who can’t act and I wouldn’t pay to see them … Try

      Watch Poor Things if you want risk taking and creativity. It was weird in the best of ways, imo.

      The Lighthouse, Barbie, Oppenheimer, Infinity Pool, Beau is Afraid, the animated Spiderverse Movies, Jordan Peele’s movies, Talk to Me, and definitely more I haven’t seen.

      There’s risk taking and creativity, but they’re much harder to find because they don’t get the advertising budget of the standard boring action-adventure bull crap.

      Dune 2 sticks out like a lighthouse in a sea of mediocrity. One of the greatest, and boldest movies I have ever seen.

        You mean the third adaptation of a very popular book? Not exactly wildly original.

        Still a great movie though.

          Not original exactly, but the 1984 version was critically panned, and most people don’t even know the scifi miniseries even exists. It was said by most people to be unadaptable after those attempts. Taking the step to out that kind of money behind it is pretty bold, and it’s original in that there’s nothing else like it in the cinema right now, or in a while.

            This version of it is by far the best and really does the book justice, but “bold” is not a word I would use to describe the third adaptation of the same classic piece of literature.
