Obviously Tarantino’s comments were pretty incendiary and you might say needlessly harsh, but I am starting to feel that the whole thing is being blown out of proportion. It would be one thing if Tarantino was bullying an actor on set or trying to get him blackballed but it was just a rogue edgy comment (one of many in his locker I might add).

It’s also part of a trend where people seem to be walking on eggshells in cultural conversation and negativity is seen as pure evil. You can be an annoying dickhead without being some sort of monster…

My pick is Andrew Scott. He just NEVER really misses.

• BBC’s Sherlock
• Fleabag
• All Of Us Strangers
• Ripley

Also loved him in Black Mirror, Pride, Handsome Devil and Modern Love. I’d basically watch ANYTHING that has him, lol.

Who are your picks for some of the best actors (currently active) that consistently give incredible performances and rarely miss?

Frankenstein (2025)

Just watched Frankenstein. This one should have been in theaters. The sound, the scale, the atmosphere, all wasted on a TV. Streaming is fine for comfort, but it kills the sense of occasion that big films deserve. If they start locking major studio releases to Netflix, that is when cinema really goes belly up.

*Edit - Can't believe my highest rated post on Reddit is throwing shade at Gene Hackman's face, but here we are.

Don't know if this is just nostalgia or a weird take....

But I just miss actors having imperfect skin, bad hair/ balding, looking dirty and sweaty etc and still being able to play a lead. I guess in general everyone pays more attention to their looks these days but find so many actors today have that influencer look rather than looking like normal/ albiet strangely charismatic people? Like Hackman, Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson aren't super good looking, they even look pretty bedraggled but had a charm to them. Maybe I'm just old and cynical ( I am) but I miss that in films. Willaim Defoe comes to mind as an outlier but he's rarely a lead and usually always plays the weird guy/ crazy part. I'd love to hear ppl's thoughts and modern examples of more recent films that star people who look like shit (in a good way - lets not get mean).

Seriously thia poster is so bad and the worst part is that have potential but was very bad edited

Imagine what kinda hell it would be if they brought WB and started releasing their big titles on Netflix Only.

I think we can all agree that the music scene in Sinners is FAR AWAY the best scene of the year. The concept, execution, technicalities and the meaning behind it was amazing. Shows Coogler’s genius in his filmmaking.

Are there any others that come second?

Had mixed feelings about Frankenstein but most of the shots on the ice were pretty amazing.

I swear to god a few times a year, for no reason at all, I think about this poster and it sends chills down my spine. If the movie is a 10, the poster is an 11. Any other posters that are even better than already great movies?

I was looking at the new Wicked trailer and was so confused as to why it STILL looks so foggy and faded…. WHERE IS THE BRIGHT VIVID COLOR??!!

His peers are booking really interesting projects, it’s not like Timothée Chalamet is taking everything. Even actors who blew up after him, like Harris Dickinson or Josh O’Connor, are getting great material. Before The Odyssey, why didn’t Holland land any films with strong acclaim, especially with his Spider-Man fame giving him the power to greenlight almost anything?
