    Basically Brendan was groped by the former Hollywood foreign press association president Philip Berk and then blacklisted from Hollywood because of it.....

    LOL! I had no idea she has bad feet but I guess it makes sense. She is an amazing dancer, acrobat and athlete.

    Dude what are you on? LOL!

    Did you forget about Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix just to name a few? There a more Superhero films nominated for Oscars going all the way back to Superman 1978. I will definitely say some of the best have been shunned. Robert Downey Jr. definitely should've been nominated/won whether he wanted to or not.

    Most are for technical achievements and not for the acting.

    Apparently not enough of whatever would help me remember DC super hero movies.

    Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were awesome. Liam Neeson and Heath Ledger stole the show. Jack Nicholson took the Joker to another level.

    Ah thanks... I didn't know what it was about, but hey, the "casting couch" was a proverb that goes around in all of showbusiness... even here in little old Austria (where btw Hollywood's origins are said to be) it was common knowledge that in order to get the "part" or "role", some did have to, or did on their own, stuff they would not have done otherwise. "Besetzungs - Couch" it is used to be called.
    But apparently it's ALOT more common than one would assume... luckily, I never planned on an actor's carreer.


    Thing is, Nicholson as the Joker's close to 40 years old...

    Yeah, super hero movies aren't really a thing anymore. It was good as long as it lasted (for the studios), and what's surprising to me is that the stories are actually known.... there's nothing new there.
    That's like trying to get people excited for yet another Titanic movie, or yet another Bible story... we know what's going to happen, so it's not that exciting anymore :D

    No but oddly a lot of the factors that made up the movie could very easily have come from a super hero film.

    A specific individual who is the only person that can save the multiverse
    A singular big bad who is out to destroy everything
    A maguffin that allows you to access the skills, memories and abilities of other mutliverse versions of yourself.

    Very much beats that Dr Strange 2 could have used but while that movie was generic bland and barely did a thing of interest with the muti-verse concept Everything Everywhere All At Once actually lent in to the concept of an infinite multiverse in which anything could be possible... it had Jamie Lee Curtis with sausage fingers how could it not have been good?

    What amazes me is the amount of rewatchability of older 90s and 80s films, rarely movies these days have that longing impression on you, movies like bad boys, the rock, heat, point break, and roy scheider s outings in 52 pick up and blue thunder, they have perfect atmospheres, they have perfect premise presentation, for example i always loved how speed was filmed in in sunny LA and with no night or rain , it s always sunny especially that scene towards the end where they do the money bag drop in the trash at purshing square. With the brilliant music of.mark mancina in the background, it was filmmaking at its best, movies of today really fail to.capture that authenticity of making it feel like it really happened and it s not just a movie, i would say john wick franchise has that feel to them it has thar authentic feel

    First one passed me by when it first came out, ended up catching iit on Prime a year later and it went straight to the top of the best Spidey movies ever list and this one looks like it could be even better. Now that Marvel is busy sh*ting the bed with the MCU good to see someone else doing something interesting.

    Loved the first part tbh. Will definitely want to see #2. Just the freshness of it was appealing to me, as someone who loves crossovers, alternate timelines, and alternate takes on characters from comic book days still.
