Well, certainly popularity doesn't always connect to individual taste (not a fan of Marlon Brando, myself).

I love so many things about Keanu's film choices, but especially how many distinctly different kinds of movies he takes on. Also, his decision to work with so many female directors (he was listed in some study I read a few months ago as having worked with more women directors than any other of the top 100 Hollywood

I think he is an interesting and underrated actor for many reasons.

Well, my only experience with either is Mel on the Big, Fat Quiz of the Year where she came off as dotty but lovable. And maybe I saw Sue on like Graham Norton or something.

I have never seen this show before, but if this news is true—I will absolutely watch host highlight clips on YouTube months after it airs, because I truly adore Richard Ayoade.

Sad Mouse is one of those videos I have to revisit every few months. IT'S SO PERFECT.

Richard Armitage is brilliant though. Why is he not more well-known?

UGHHHHHH. I know. A legitimately harmful narrative that has real-world consequences. :-/

That makes so much sense about the campfire skit. I didn't hate it, and the ending made sense, but I couldn't think why. Of course it is because LMM is a better human than all of us and would find something genuinely likable about those people. ha

yes.

Oh, man. One can only hope.

I was 13 when this was released and saw it in theaters with my BFF the day after Thanksgiving. Amy Adams is perfect in it, and I became an instant-lifetime fan of her.

I want Taylor Kitsch to star in any Gambit stand-alone film, because—

I haven't seen it. Will it make me weep more or less?

MAN ON FIRE makes me weep uncontrollably in its final scene. I don't even need the whole film set-up beforehand.

I would never describe Cassavetes' work as being that of a "master stylist"; simply because that seems to point to specifically set artificiality (Wes Anderson-y)— and that is NOT Cassavetes. However, Cassavetes certainly had a distinct filmmaking style, so I don't know? And, his films most definitely put Rowlands

Cassavettes and Rowlands was my immediate thought too, but not sure about the stylist label.

I just googled the lyrics and I can't believe *I* remembered that many mostly correct lyrics! I only saw the movie the once, at age 12, while obsessed with Steve McQueen!

And literal season-ending cliffhangers.
