James McAvoy for me. X-Men first Class, Split, Speak No Evil, even Victor Frankenstein. If MCavoy’s name is attached to it, I’m probably going to see it. Charlize Theron is next. Mad Max: Fury road, Monster, and Kubo. Old guard… she acted her heart out, but it was okay in the end. (First post)
Christoph Waltz
Gary Oldman
Maybe Chris Pratt
John Cleese
Charlize Theron
Lately Millie Bobbie Brown it seems. Even her Holmes stuff is fun.
Kurt Russell
Charlize Theron - one of the best actors in the world IMO. If you disagree watch Monster.
I don’t watch many movies at all, too fidgety.
But if I see Tim Curry, I’m paying attention.
Shovelface. But after Twilight.
Jared Harris
He’s been in some real stinkers, but chances are if he shows up, you’re in for a good time.
Daniel Day Lewis did for so long. Nobody does today really and I go to 2 movies a week and watch 5 at home. I am kind of keeping an eye on and encouraged by Bill Skarsgard, David Dastmalcian, Jack Quade, Michael B Jordan and Lewis Pullman…
Catherine O’Harra, Tilda Swinton, Gary Oldman, John Malkovich, Tom Hanks
Actors who always commit to their roles! It’s always a pleasure to see them, especially when you see them go from very serious to comedy in various parts. Tom Hanks was fantastic in the 80s when he was comedy but he seems to do more serious roles since then. Also why Saturday Night Live skits can be awesome when such actors are guest starting.
Michael Sheen. A fantastic proud Welshman who gave away his own money so the homeless World Cup could be held in Cardiff, and is now pouring his heart into the national theatre.
I’d love a drink or three with him.
Is that the bloke from Good Omens?
Pretty sure it is, cause I always think of Charlie and Martin when his name comes up, yes I know not related just sticks due to last name.
My mom’s answer would be Walton Goggins, but I’d have to agree cause man that guy can change characters of a dime. From his crazy almost feral killer character from American Ultra, to his character from The Unicorn, to Vice Principals, to Fallout, the guy is damn near a chameleon.
The Unicorn
Goggins as a trans woman in Sons of Anarchy stole the show even though this role had a total of like 3 minutes spread around in several episodes… the guy is awesome
Goggins is so hot right now and as a long time fan I’m absolutely here for it.
Vice Principals was so good, and it was incredibly disappointing that it got canceled. Righteous Gemstones does not scratch that itch for me, though Goggins as Uncle Baby Billy is just another character in what is a great showcase he’s put together. I feel like he kinda went under the radar for a bit and he’s getting his due now, and deservedly so.
Yeah, Goggins’ stole the show every damn time he was on screen in Justified. Great actor.
There aren’t too many actors that will pull my interest just based on their involvement. Sam Rockwell, Gary Oldman and Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP) are the first that come to mind but I’m sure there are more. Does Tom Waites count?
I would’ve never expected to say this 17 years ago (don’t linger on that detail too long), but Robert Pattinson
My wife and I go on actor kicks, and RO was one not too long ago. Might have been spurred on by seeing The Lighthouse, but then it became let’s just watch what he’s done. I won’t watch Twilight, not my jam, but my wife watches it with our daughter, who is now team whatever, I dunno. But Good Time was a great recent flick that switched me from RP to Safdie movies in general.
If you’ve never watched The Rover, I would highly recommend it. Guy Pearce is excellent in it, but Pattinson’s performance really hit home that he can truly act.
I did. I’ll have to check, but I think I’ve seen a fair amount of his post-twilight films. Like Radcliffe, he generally picks interesting projects, if nothing else
Cosmopolis, Good Time, High Life, and ofc The Lighthouse being some of them
Edit: spelling
Yeah High Life was a mad film, but he was great again.
Ah, the stigma and hatred around newly released fantasy romcoms targeted to women. Also the reinvention of the vampire that most people would probably wish had stayed in an obscure YA novel rather than become cinematic history.
I was always team Wolf but I developed an interest in real vampire culture because of Twilight.
Did you ever watch Remember Me? Part of me wishes I hadn’t. The unnecessary end hits like a wrecking ball
I liked Twilight 2, actually. Just happened to see it in the right moment that it worked for me. Never watched the rest of the series though
Dude, seriously. For the longest time I only knew him as the vampire in Twilight (which I’d never even seen) and wrote him off immediately. Then I saw him in High Life and was like ‘Oh wait a minute, this guy is pretty good actually’. I even liked him in Batman. I’m glad he’s outgrowing his Twilight association.
Christoph Waltz
My teeth are also kinda janky, so this is probably one of my favorite videos by anyone ever. I love the “your teeth are air-cooled” line too.
Sam Rockwell.
I loved him in Moon but haven’t seen anything else he’s been in. Got any recs?
Seven Psychopaths is hilarious, same director as In Bruges if you’ve seen that one.
Sam Rockwell is an awesome Zaphod Beeblebrox in The Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy.
Galaxy Quest
This should be required viewing. Such a bummer we lost Alan Rickman too early and missed put on a sequel.
Galaxy Quest is one of those movies that imo is perfect as-is, like we don’t need a sequel or else it would dilute it kinda thing.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Heist (the 2001 film)
Easily in my top 5 films, and one that rewards rewatches.
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is one of my favorites. Despite the fact that I’m not usually a rom-com guy, I actually liked Mr. Right.
Rockwell and Bale in a buddy cop movie and I’m there opening night.
I too enjoy watching that particular Asian girl.
These days, it’s Alan Tudyk for me. For movies and tv shows.
He has been in some of the most bizarre and ridiculous concepts, but he still always makes them a delight to watch, even as a supporting character.
I haven’t been disappointed yet, even if it’s bound to happen eventually.
My wife and I got into Resident Alien because of him. Dollhouse was the first thing I saw him in, so yeah he likes bizarre and ridiculous would be correct. I love his comedy in Resident Alien.
