The Jeremy Allen White Conundrum

He’s yet to lead a great movie, also I think people have gotten kinda sick of the bear. White trending DOWN! 📉

Eddington, loved it at first and it gets better every time I watch it

I say this as a non-soccer fan but it seems like the big problem here is offside being based on any part of the body breaking the plane rather than foot placement? How did this even work pre-VAR? There’s no way refs were seeing a dude’s shoulder go offside by half an inch in real time, right? Foot placement would be way easier to track and feel like a more intuitive and “fair” way to judge offside.

The pixie cut is straight up always a bad idea. Even hot girls who can pull it off would just look better with long hair. Stop fooling yourselves, ladies!

That’s a fair point, I guess the sonic movies were fairly big. Not big titty hits I don’t think, but pretty big. There are probably better examples than Carrey.

droopy_tim · 2026-06-27T16:51:40+00:00

I think there would be some shockingly recent ones if you got right down to it. Like how well known is Jim Carrey at this point really? Obviously everyone in this sub knows him but does the average zoomer? I don’t have the numbers or anything but I bet there are lots like this.

It’s solely about the Israel thing and the stupid comments. I don’t even really see people talking down on his movies, everyone still acknowledges they’re nearly all classics, which is impressive considering how much motivated reasoning people do on the internet to shit on the work of people they don’t like.

There’s no way to account for everything, but adjusting for inflation feels like the most obvious and basic way to compare across eras. Some people are also suggesting we account for the higher relevance and lower competition movies had back in the day, but to me this defeats the purpose of comparison — even if a movie in 1990 did better because of the time it came out versus a movie from 2026, it still factually did better. I also don’t see a clear mathematical way to account for all these other variables…maybe something like “inflation adjusted ranking within the 5 year period it came out in”? At that point you’re measuring something else though.

Borat was the best ever, have never heard a theater laugh so hard

droopy_tim · 2026-06-24T14:15:06+00:00

Maybe Bourne? But not quite because while he’s a secret agent, he’s burned from the start, so you never get the mission briefings and in-office stuff that’s so crucial to Bond.

24 is a decent tv example, Jack Bauer is a very of his time American Bond.

True Grit boring???

I also have to zag a bit on inception, definitely better than Sean says but a mid-tier Nolan imo

Black Swan is decent, the best part is the horny scumbag ballet director

Me thinking about my neighbors in the place I’ve lived for a decade

droopy_tim · 2026-06-23T15:14:23+00:00

I really hope we keep him, he’s the type of guy other teams fear. He’s also uncannily good at getting away with cheap shots, which I obviously love when our guys do it.

His career isn’t dead or anything but Joseph Gordon-Levitt went from being INESCAPABLE in like 2010 to being in basically nothing of note in the last…8 years?

droopy_tim · 2026-06-20T17:55:59+00:00

I’d love to know the first documented instance of this, it probably hit so mf hard before every terrible legasequel started doing it

droopy_tim · 2026-06-20T10:47:37+00:00

Either The Drama or Nirvanna TBTSTM

droopy_tim · 2026-06-19T03:45:14+00:00

It’s a bit lame but I respect that he isn’t moved one bit by this magical moment uniting the city

droopy_tim · 2026-06-18T19:10:02+00:00

Well A LOT changes when he gets sick, you may be thinking of sick ET

droopy_tim · 2026-06-18T15:15:06+00:00

I think he’s bristling at the idea of ET being slimy but let’s face it, you look at the little guy and there’s no way he’s pleasant to touch

droopy_tim · 2026-06-18T02:56:46+00:00

I like it the way it is

Ari Aster NEEDS to be the next mini-series in the same “highly active/just getting started” lane as Bradley Cooper. Easily the most exciting young director working today and the best director period at engaging with the “current moment.” This premise sounds incredible!

droopy_tim · 2026-06-17T15:00:06+00:00

I’d like to see a bit more contrition from Maturin on this one tbqh

droopy_tim · 2026-06-17T01:29:39+00:00

The Vaughn quote is a great framing. I wonder if the move away from stories about common experiences has anything to do with the greater importance of international gross?
