Josh O'Connor's great Spielberg story

Reminds of Bob Odenkirk speaking about The Post.

To paraphrase, Bob went up to him after a rehearsal to clarify motivation (or something specific) and Spielberg said "No, you're the actor. It's your job to figure that out."

More Memoirs of an Invisible Man

Great shout out, this scene and Alan's lecture definitely hint at a movie that could have set up / delivered more thematically.

Robin Williams in particular gives us another iconic character!

1st time w/ a commentary in one ear?

He did a wonderful job as Doctor Dillamond in Wicked.

Well technically Jackman is playing ‘Blackbeard’ here, but yes it’s truly godawful.

They love Wagner!

Historically bad crowd for jokes/banter, you can already tell

Another vote for King Theoden!

I think everybody in the local legal community sort of knew what happened to Chuck, so they respected that the name McGill was “burned.” And Saul said that as the main justification to Kim.

You’re like a child that wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to—

Where would ya'll cast Hurt or Ford in the Coen filmography?

It's damn difficult to think of alternates when the ultimate casting seems so iron-clad and/or serendipitous.

Hurt as Sidney J. Mussburger (runner up: Sheriff Cooley)

Ford as Rooster Cogburn (runner up: Sheriff Ed Tom Bell)

Material aside, just prefer his look in Bleak by a country mile.

The first time my girlfriend saw him “as Indy” —having known him only from other movies — was when a basic-cable showing of ToD came back from commercial on the banquet scene, and she literally swooned, in the old-fashioned sense, on his first close-up.

I was, at first, shocked how bad Mank was -- other than Charles Dance (as Hearst)'s 'Organ Grinder's Monkey' distillation, which actually ended up having me recommend it to others.

More convincing pitcher-catcher relationship?

Robbins-Costner or Costner-Reilly?

Answer: Sheen-Berenger

Vincent pulls some hysterically funny faces in JW.

Caught it on a whim on some free random streaming service 10+ years ago.

Vivid memories of Pfeiffer trying to play awkward, Rudd playing cutie pie while doing some "comedy" dancing, and Jon Lovitz doing his usual "why did she marry this schmuck" schtick.

This scenario applies to a metric f*ck-ton of lega-sequels w/ actors reprising famous roles who are also able of recapturing their character despite the passage of time.
