Pitt is incredible in OUATIH and it's really annoying that people dismiss his role as "easy" when it's him who makes it look easy even though it's not. Unfortunately, we are trained to appreciate actressing more than natural-ness so if an actor doesn't shout or break a plate, he/she "didn't do anything in the movie".
Pitt was very good in OUATIH - he had great presence - I think that is what you all are talking about. I would like to give some credit to Tarantino - all those actors were outstanding & I believe Quentin brought out the best in them & is also a master at casting. Unlike you guys I couldn't keep my eyes off Leo & his over-the-hill mid-life crisis emotional breakdown - maybe because I am older than most of you & could relate to that aspect - I thought he was truly outstanding & I was surprised at how many times he made me laugh - would love to see him in a comedy along the lines of Midnight Run - I think he would be fantastic. Leo made that movie for me.

Shining had Crazy Jack as the bad guy while DRS has Rebecca Ferguson. Was anyone scared of her from watching the trailer? She's a great actress but the trailer has to convey why people should be scared and I don't think it did. Big reason for IT Pt 1 success was how scary Pennywise was. You could easily slip with a clown but Skarsgaard and make up department nailed the demented look.
So this is all Rebecca Ferguson's fault? What about Ewan McGregor the actual star of the movie? I wouldn't pay to see it because of him. He drove me crazy watching the Fargo series with his abysmal American accent - I thought he was the weakest link in that show plus he doesn't have the greatest box office when he is the lead actor.

No hits on the album. No one cares outside of her core devoted fanbase. Pretty soon she'll be to old for whatever it is she's doing in that gif, and with no talent to fall back on she'll be over.
You might not like her - hell I don't care for that type of music but I think most music nowadays is pure shit but you cannot say she has no talent to fall back on - the girl writes her own songs for cripes sake & obviously a huge fan base likes the songs she writes. And is this like when everyone said nobody was going to her concerts & she wound up with the highest grossing tour that year?

Skin Deep is one everyone needs to see. There's an epic scene that's has to be seen to be believed.
I have to watch that again - don't remember it too well but I love Blake Edwards movies.

She went to Guildhall.
She will use standard British active analysis/method of physical actions techniques.
No British actor uses method. Or would ever. Indeed Daniel D-L is pretty much the only non-American to use a version of method. The US clinging on to that outdated garbage is the main reason so many non-Americans dominate Hollywood.
Don't forget money - it's always about the money - British actors come cheaper - Toby Stephens admitted it when asked why so many British actors were being hired. And don't act like all American actors are trained in the Method - that is not true but nice of you to call it "garbage" - seems like it didn't hurt Daniel Day-Lewis's acting career one bit - 3 Oscars & 4 Baftas - not too shabby. And theater acting & movie acting are two very different forms of acting - Richard Burton was astounded at how good Liz Taylor was after viewing the dailies while making Cleopatra when it looked to him like she wasn't doing much at all - she had that "it" factor - charisma - whatever you want to call it that jumps out on the screen & she knew that less is more on screen - theater actors are used to big gestures. You just need to look at any list of the best actors & American actors are all over it so stop with the condescension & denigration - it's uncalled for.

Just watched Road House again last night. What an absolute hoot that one is....."I used to fuck guys like you in prison!"
LOL - My husband watches that every time it comes on - he just loves it. I like Sam Elliot in his little ponytail😉

I have not seen any other QT films. Is his foot fetish as obvious in his other films as it was in this one?
Honestly I really didn't notice in this movie because back then so many people were barefoot & I remember all of us driving around with our feet out the window in the summer but yes my daughter noticed it.

Just go back from the show & I gotta say I loved it!! The whole vibe was fantastic - really captured that era in time - my Dad had that Cadillac but in blue & I can still remember driving around with the windows down & the radio blasting. Leo & Brad were fantastic & Margot was wonderful as Sharon - so sweet & lovable with her wonderful life all ahead of her. Leo had me laughing so much - really loved his performance. Growing up in the 70s we were all fascinated with Helter Skelter - the book & the miniseries & oh how I wish this ending would have been the reality - me & my sister were quite emotional at the ending. An A for me - I hope to see nominations for this.

Yeah it's far from a disaster or anything, but in my own opinion people are making a lot of excuses. Even in summer when weekends are depressed and weekdays are great, there was no reason for this to drop that much. Again, not a disastrous drop, but I think it's okay for some of us to have the opinion that it's disappointing.
Definitely lots of excuses for this drop.

Let’s not conveniently forget Mr & Mrs Smith. That film was gigantic, solely on star power with her and Pitt being an on screen couple.
If you think that would've been as big as it was with Pitt and any other actress, then you need your head examined.
You do mean "the affair" right? She has never made the huge box office except with Brad because of "the affair" & Maleficent which is Disney - so overrated she is. I guess she is the reason By The Sea was a huge bomb since she wrote it, directed it & starred in it, right?

I thought it was dull as dishwater. You can't do the Jaws thing when your story and characters are shit.
It truly was & how much screen time did Godzilla actually have? I want lots of Godzilla if that is the name of the damn movie!

Congrats to End Game for passing Titanic, End Game is a great movie and deserves accolades. On inflation, it's not discussed much anymore. In the grand scheme what Titanic did is far more impressive obviously but I'm not sure most people even understand what inflation is. Education in this country is at an all-time low. We are in a meme culture, you can throw out sensible discourse.
Looks like TFA will still reign supreme domestically.
People know what inflation is - it affects their money.

Well, she did headline a movie that made nearly $170M just over two years ago (and the traditional starpower method as we knew it is dead in today's environment), so...
I consider that movie to be an ensemble so I don't consider her the "headliner". The last movie she headlined grossed $20 million so you should be happy that this one will be much more successful than Proud Mary.

@shayhiri @Zakiyyah6 @Catty double accounts? @Hiccup23 @Shawn @Blankments
Why are you mentioning me? I have nothing to do with this thread - I don't know anything about this movie nor care to see it.

The 1937 Wellman/Fredric March/Janet Gaynor was financially successful, nominated for 7 Oscars and won Best Screenplay
The 1954 Cukor, Garland/Mason film wasn't a financial failure. It was expensive at $5m to make but reportedly did $6.1m in domestic rentals (money officially back to the studio) and was one of the top films of 1954
The Streisand/Kristofferson of decidedly lesser quality but more meh reviews than turd reviews
Then there are movies like The Artist which swipe the concept en large
The Streisand version might have had meh reviews but that made a ton of money - adjusts to $343,286,400 & the soundtrack album sold millions.

I really don't understand why Bohemian Rhapsody's success is considered anything of a slight against A Star Is Born - a movie that is going to have made x10 its budget when all is said and done.
The two are barely comparable (original drama featuring original songs v semi-fictionalised biopic that essentially is a stream of music videos of pre-existing massively popular songs), and regardless it's like trying to claim that Avatar outgrossed Jurassic World, ergo the latter is a failure.
"original drama"? Isn't this like the 4th reincarnation of this movie?

Beyonce is a great stage performer and a good singer. She has been wildly successful. She has nothing left to prove. Everyone knows that she isn't a real actress, most musical artists suck or are painfully mediocre in films. It's fine. She'll continue to make music.
Not Bette Midler.😉 She's a fantastic musical artist & a fantastic actress & she can dance!

It was good. Remi was great.
As a gay guy, I think they handled it well. We’ll never know the details and we don’t need to. Glad so many Americans showed up to see it, surprisingly.
The dodgy CGI live aid crowd was an unfortunate choice and especially to focus on them so much.
Overall 3/5 I think.
Why is it surprising Americans showed up to see this? Americans love Queen - I grew up with them & the guys I hung with knew he was gay & didn't care - it was Freddie - he was phenomenal. Just saw it this afternoon - everyone with me enjoyed it. Rami was fantastic.

Bohemian Rhapsody was good but it’s no A Star Is Born.
The performance scenes just didn’t have the same effect. That CGI crowd was so, so jarring.
But the lead actor was fantastic. His surrounding actors not so much.
3/5.
Funny how everyone's opinions are different - went with 6 people today & we all loved it. And coming from someone who watched Live Aid as it was happening I was astounded at Rami - just perfection. Glad it was no Star is Born - you couldn't pay me to watch Bradley Cooper - I'll settle for the Judy Garland or Barbara Streisand versions.

It was the #2 movie of 1976. The soundtrack was also a smash. 5x platinum and a #1 single with “Evergreen,” which won Streisand her second Oscar.
Had the 45 - me & my best friend loved that song!

Actually I would like to know why this movie was made - why couldn't they come up with a new action movie featuring women instead of relying on the same stale TV show /movies? I think many people are too young to realize that Charlie's Angels was a hit on TV strictly because of the beauty of the actresses & plenty of T&A - it's just a fact. And those movies were horrible - so far-fetched I was never able to enjoy them. Nobody asked for this movie so she should be asking herself why she was so clueless as to what the public actually wants to watch.
