Fair enough. Although i would mostly argue that if you are a big name star you are probably not a very good actor. Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, etc.
Although, that doesn't counter anything that you said.
true, but it's been such a long time since he did anything of worth that i would prefer to think of him as 2 actors, letting the excellent one remaining buried.
Quoting myself, i know, and probably looking to argue with anyone at the minute, but what i really mean about De Niro is that he should stick to his comedies now. He's quite good at it. Anything deadly serious has him as a self-pastiche.
It's been said already, but Hanks for me. Other than The Bachelor and The Burbs, a mostly constant annoyance, without depth even he's played a supposed range of characters. An unintriguing Jimmy Stewart.
De Niro has gone sh*t too.
Downey Jr has been shocking for as long as he's been known. Just astonishingly bad and unlikable. Apart from Tropical Thunder.
Sutherland i feel for as he's had to fail in fighting to escape the quality of his father's shadow, but his career has been long and full even though his range has...
Other than YourMum, for me it's the telly. Ok there's constant movement on the screen of it, but without it i don't know what i'd do, or where i'd look, for comfort. I mean, if i had to think about my own actual life instead i doubt i'd make it.
In the dark, in some sort of den, whilst I'm watching a mole claw at a writhing pile of worms an hour before dawn, through my prize draw binoculars, perhaps.
I have done so the last 2 mornings, with my 2 and a half year old, yes. He loses interest and pulls faces at me, but it's nice to be actively involved in something, and bits of me do ache from squatting, which i don't oft do. Will nip out for a walk now to loosen the joints.
I felt much the same. I didn't expect much to be happening, but there was everyone, leaning out of their windows, and making a positive holler. Inside the 4 walls that have me i am under strict instructions to not share a word with anyone, to even help no one if they need it, as i'll bring death...
I don't feel greatly comforted by a bumbling fop, but i agree that anyone helplessly in charge of this would struggle to seem heroic. Tis a time that we need a leader, but it feels quite a while since such a person existed.
Scant reward i know, but i enjoy it as a thread. The world can bulge with an insistence to hope in these darkest of times, but that doesn't mean we're bereft of bad guys or those fiends shouldn't be highlighted with a sprinkle of hateful mirth.
I feel my head hair and face aren't particularly fascinating to eye, so i am planning, in this lockdown, to really let my ear-locks flow and dominate anyone who sees me's eyeline. Bushy and winnet-clad and confrontational.
Cycled some supplies to the sister in law about 30 hours ago. Intend to arise for a walk tomorrow morning, partially hoping the missus doesn't see me. I'll leave my walking shoes outside, and wash my hands thoroughly upon return, but that's as far as i'll go in this bleachside apartment with 3...
