He is 60 now and it’s starting to show, even though he’s had some work done.

Totally agree. Would love to be in his shape. Not many 60 year olds that can do what he can.

I really enjoy watching Cruise act, scientology wacko or not, he's always entertaining.

In the mood to watch this again and was more shocked by the Cunningham son swearing at his dad (and GF too) patting his face than anything else, not Stephen King's finest scene.

Watched Avatar: The Way of Water last night. Long 3 hours and 12 minutes but very enjoyable. It was beautifully made even though parts of it felt like a video game. I prefer the first one better. Perhaps because it was ahead of its time then. It’s a pretty great movie nonetheless. There will definitely be a third.

Kind of what I'm thinking, seems like it's trying a bit too hard/forced.

Looks like this will be a real tearjerker, definitely a strong comeback performance from Brendan Fraser.

3 fucking hours???? So bloated. I felt the first was a solid hour too long.

Watching The Batman.

Definitely a bit long, but the movie moved at a nice pace.

Agree. Wouldn't waste my time or money on the second one. Didn't love the first one. A novelty at first, but then, meh.

Hope Cameron can make the 2 billion he said he needs just to break even.

I find him unwatchable - similar to Emily Blunt. I think they ruin films and I don't know why.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one who doesn't like him.

I do like Emily Blunt, though. To each their own.

I'm w you on both counts. I always think when it's puzzling someone made it big they are probably connected somehow haha. Guy should've kept the mask on re Kylo Ren, didn't work showing his face.

Alfisti · 12-16-2022, 04:32 PM

I like him, he's kinda awkward, big guy, big voice but sorta harmless. Worse thing he did was Star Wars, that was a poor fit and all 3 of those movies were laughably bad.

I liked him a lot in the marriage movie with Scarlett Johannson.

floridaorange · 12-16-2022, 04:41 PM

I tried with that movie ^^ felt way over dramatized - actors not feeling the moment but presenting what the director asked for.

Most ppl enjoy Emily Blunt, I felt she annihilated the film "Sicario." Del Toro is so good, the film could have been great, to me her dear in headlight eyes just made it suck.

It's funny we all have actors who we just don't believe their acting or see through their ability to lie well for a camera.

Speaking of "annihilating" did you see the film "Annihilation?" Came out around 5 yrs ago or so.

Never saw it. Looks like it could be good.

Anybody seen it? What do you think?
