I loved The Revenant overall, but what gets me is how the movie was roughly a billion light years away from anything Innaritu had ever done before. Prior to Birdman, he had a really narrow wheelhouse. Could anyone on Earth have identified Revenant as an Innaritu film without knowing? Even if one hates him and all his

I think it holds up great, because the humor transcends the era.

In no universe is that the rudest thing one could say/ask.

Jeffries is great.

Muller is great.

Still really want to see Metric live. How did the stuff from the new record sound? It was tilting towards electronica so I'm curious.

I was watching some NPR Tiny Desk Concerts and heard Julien Baker sing "Sprained Ankle" for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes, and I listened to it again immediately.

If I could have a drink with Fred Ward, I think I might die happy. What a great screen presence.

I get tired of the "Michael Shannon is bug-eyed crazy hahaha" bullshit. He's a genuinely sensitive actor who has way more range than he gets credit for.

Oh so pretty.

Cox threatens to take over the already great "The Long Kiss Goodnight". He's boss.

One of the greatest voices in film, to be sure.

Really? I've never seen it but have been reading for years how good it is, seen it mentioned positively at least thirty times on this very site. Not sure who's underrating it, because everyone seems to love it. Seems like it has a great cast anyway.

I like him but boy does he need to steer clear of doing accents.

Max Von Sydow has been a renowned name in cinema for decades. I'm glad you appreciate his work, but your description makes him sound a lot more obscure than he is. Many people outside of Sweden are well aware of him.

The Place Beyond The Pines is stellar, and I think the less you know going in, the better.

No

Friedkin's best movie.

Awesomely bizarre movie.
