She might not be as great as Robert Pattinson but she is certainly no Taylor Lautner
Is TV acting really still seen as a downgrade? With the rise of streaming the quality of TV shows have really gone up, I think there are many who even hold them up to as high a standard as movies. I still prefer movies over TV but I wouldn't really see it as a downgrade anymore, not like back in the day.
im gonna say yes because that makes me look clever
Botox'll do that for you.
I don't really mind that, though I do agree it's a bit lazy and a story can benefit from a more original title.
HOWEVER I think it's worse when it's a historical or biopic, since there's probably a wealth of life stories you could pull from for a title. If it's a fictional character, like Amelie or Rambo, I don't mind as much, since the movie is about the fictional narrative they've constructed for them.
What really gets my goat are films that only take one of someone's full name. They do this especially with remakes and biopics, I find, an example being 'The Times of Harvey Milk' from 1984 being condensed to just 'Milk' in 2008. But yeah, things like 'Capote', 'Ray', it feels like they're trying to add a weight to the name that just isn't there.
What are you talking about, is this sarcasm?
To be completely honest I am not entirely sure what it is you're trying to say with all of this, so please enlighten me if you want, but to comment about the "star power" of modern film actors I would just say it has a lot to do with what cinema has become/is becoming. Cinema is still a considerably young medium so the stars that were developed back in the day have pretty set the precedent to what a movie star is, but the films that were made back then were obviously quite different than now. Matt Damon and DiCaprio might not immediately exude that kind of classical star quality, but I think that they're serving different purposes now, with regards to the kinds of genres that have prevailed. I'm sure when all of them are dead or retired and the next wave have taken center stage, we'll be talking about how different their star power is to the ones before as well.
They're actually doing a 'Boyhood' sort of deal, they're getting the actor's great-grandchildren to be reprising the roles.
Personally, I think it was a masterpiece as it is, doesn't need any kind of followup. Further proof Louis Le Prince is out of ideas!
I liked it. I thought it was a fresh way to approach an idea as overdone as WWII, especially how it deals with time.
But yeah, I'd have to agree, Hollywood does seem to be running out of steam in regards to WWII. I mean, it was a six year affair, there aren't any other moments they could make a movie of? It was a world war for god's sake, of course there are...
This will become his 'Apocalypse Now'. He will release a new cut every so often, since as we all know, true art is never really finished....
Is it time to bully the actresses off of Twitter again?
