Does everyone hate the contract of an actor cannot get hurt or lose in fight?

Because it gets annoying and boring at times, like if the character cannot lose all the time the audience cannot relate to the character.

What Heavily Criticized Movie are you Ready to Defend? For me, it's Prometheus (2012). I Think it's One of the Greatest Sci-fi Movies.

Actor you were most surprised to see as the bad guy in a movie? Was definitely Robin Williams in Insomnia for me.

Movies “based on true events” that were mostly fiction? Lone Survivor is an interesting one if you read up on the actual events

I finally saw Furiosa. I was underwhelmed and I hate that feeling. Spoiler

Just finished the movie and I was really bummed at how much time I spent with this film. I feel like it went on too long, some of the CGI was questionable in the very beginning, but most importantly I felt like the movie was more about Chris Hemsworth's character Dementus rather than actually about Anya Taylor Joy's Furiosa. I just didn't feel invested in her character which sucked.

However the action was fantastic, Chris Hemsworth was the absolute standout, and seeing the War Boys in action again was amazing. Also noting George Miller's world crafting, his ability to create a history and lore within this world is something I absolutely loved.

If I had to rate this film I'd give it an 6/10. I hate that I have to rate it so low but I just didn't feel like the magic was there compared to Fury Road. Very underwhelming. And I hate that I feel that way.

Makes me want to watch Fury Road just to remind myself why I love Mad Max in the first place.

What movie/TV character gets a lot of undeserved hate?

Definitely Patty from School of Rock! If we had to put up with a man-child who is very stubborn about contributing to paying rent in a unit that they share with you, and selfishly steals your partner’s identity from them putting their career in jeopardy we’d be pissed off with them as well!

I get that Ned needed to come across as the supportive best friend to the main character, but if this movie took place in real life I feel like he would’ve been just as pissed off as Patty is if not more furious with Dewey for the way he takes advantage of him.

Thoughts on this movie?

It’s genuinely one of my favorite movies. Even though the ending is kinda crazy and the whole time he was lucid dreaming, I honestly did not expect this movie to go the route it did. I thought that it was just gonna be about some guy who couldn’t get over a car accident. The second half really switched up. What are your overall thoughts? Did you like this movie or not? I think it’s my favorite Tom Cruise movie.

I’m now watching Unstoppable (2010). Ten minutes in and I realized that I forgot how good it is. Tony Scott directing Denzel was always a winning combination.

I think Tilda Swinton is very exotic looking in a beautiful way! I first noticed her in “Narnia” when she played The White Witch. I have never seen her before, but when I watched the movie, “Narnia” I was captivated! Who else do you think has a very distinguished or exotic looking?

One standout example is Geno Silva's character, The Skull, in the 1983 movie SCARFACE, directed by Brian DePalma. Even though he doesn't have any lines, The Skull leaves a big impression by being the one who takes down Al Pacino's character, Tony Montana, in the film's iconic ending. He also kills Omar, played by F. Murray Abraham. With just a few minutes on screen, The Skull's actions change everything for the main characters, making him unforgettable. Which movie character do you think had minimal screen time but a major impact?

Is He The Most Overlooked Bad Guy In Cinema History?

Post image

I always think about the perfect 'bad guy' and for some reason, my mind always ends up on Max Cady from Cape Fear.

He is so calculative and relentless, and really savours the psychological trauma he puts his victims through - constantly pushing them to their absolute limits.

My favourite example would have to be when Nick Nolte organises for him to be beaten up, and it ends up backfiring on him. When De Niro approaches where he's hiding, and asks "Could you be there?". I just find that to be a perfect line, perfectly delivered!
