  1. Elordi

    I know the reason as to why (his estate wouldn't allow his music to be used in a movie that doesn't portray him in the most flattering light), but it still felt odd and distracting that a movie with Elvis front and center featured none of his songs.

     

    Also didn't think much of Elordi's performance in this either tbh. He certainly looks much more like the actual The King than Austin Butler did but I think the latter did a much better job of exuding why he cast such a captivating spell on so many (even within that movie's script limitations), Elordi just comes off as someone who picked Elvis as their Halloween costume. Hopefully I like his performance in Saltburn more.

     

    Butler's Elvis is so overrated. Elvis had an easy high voltage smile and was always at ease with himself, Butler feels so much more restrained like he watched Christian Bale in Batman Begins too many times. 

  2. Superman is beyond overdue for a modern reinvention. It can the traditional tone and story, but it must be presented in a modern way. This more than anything is why MOS broke out as much as its did on opening weekend just as SR flopped on opening weekend. No red trunks, give him bright colors and a tan, let him smile, and give it epic action.

     

    A strong trailer or 2 and high RT score would 100% do wonders for this character, but there will be an initial wave of skepticism towards the project until then.

    Watching Penny Dreadful rn, and between that and Oppenheimer and Black Mirror I gotta apologize - Hartnett's a legit good actor and better than a bulk of the superhero boys that get churned out every week lol. I'd rather he keep doing what he's doing though with character actor bits, he kind of excels there now that he's aged into it

     

    Hartnett as Harvey Dent in The Batman 2, paired with Pattinson, would be a clash of the 2000s biggest film teen girl heart throbs from early and late in the decade.
