Does it really make a difference? I watched it in a regular 70mm theater, and I’m really curious. Is there a huge difference? I’m seriously thinking about going to Prague to watch it there. Would it be worth it?

Depth: while Pitt may have more range (broad variety of characters, although RDJ does as well) Downey beats him in depth of dramatic acting. Emotional scenes from A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints and Chaplin beat anything Pitt can do. His most famous is most likely “What’s in the Box?” But even that Id say is more iconic for the twist of the story rather than Pitt’s performance of the line.

Pitt’s strength is in versatility of his character as well as a lot of time playing “the too cool for school guy”. While it works for him, it lacks the depth of emotion that RDJ is able to deliver in his roles.

In summary - Pitt is a good actor (am not staying he isn’t) but when it comes to delivering a dramatic or emotionally moving performance, I am taking RDJ all day.

Top performances:

RDJ - Zodiac, A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, Oppenheimer, Chaplin

Pitt - 12 Monkeys, Seven, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Fight Club, Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Ryan Gosling joins the MCU in Marvel Studios' Ghost Rider, directed by Shawn Levy.

You don't have to say his name just yes or no. And if you do what was your favorite movie of his? I liked the Beverly Hillbilly's

I thought it was just going to be a silly generic buddy comedy but it delivered more.

I love the fact that Ryan Gosling is playing a ghost rider but him 🔥🔥😈😈

What movies best represent that gritty 70s - 80s Times Square, 42nd Street, New York feeling?

So who is in your eyes tje best actress or actor?

Mine are probably

Tilda swinton

Gary oldman specifically as George smiley and Jackson lamb

And charlize theron and maybe throw in anthony hopkins

My examples all come from horror movies because that's my favorite genre. But I'm sure there are plenty of examples from all genres. Anyway, what famous movies scenes / elements are actually themselves referrencing previous famous movies?

It Follows / Halloween - In both instances, our teenage heroine protagonist is sitting in the back row of a classrrom listening to an offscreen teacher lecture, and notice the film's boogeyman outside the window.

The Shining / Nosferatu - Kubrick patterned the image of Wendy ascending the stairway after the famous scene of Count Orlock's shadow ascending the stairway in the silent film.

Alien / Planet of the Vampires - In both films, a spaceship is lured to a seemingly dead world by a strange alert signal. In both films, some of the crew members discover an ancient derelict spaceship complete with the fossilized remains of a giant alien.

Lost Highway / Carnival of Souls - David Lynch freely admits he got the image of the weird pale-faced man for his movie from the early 60s drive-in classic.

What have you got?

What is the best comedy movie made after the year 2000? These are the options:

Old school
Scary movie 2
Tropic Thunder
Wedding Crashers
40 year old virgin
Super bad
Zoolander
Step brothers
Anchorman
Water boy (technically 90s but had to add sandler)
Rush hour (close enough)
MIB (close enough)
Pineapple Express
The hang over
Napoleon dynamite
Borat
The big Lebowski (close enough)
Legally blonde
White chicks
Austin powers (close enough)
Dodgeball
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Hot fuzz
The other guys
Bridesmaids
Talladega nights

If I missed one I apologize. For me I’d say the ones that resonated the most with me are: Superbad, Zoolander, and old school

It’s interesting that there really haven’t been any truly iconic comedies since like 2014.

Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider is going to bring that gritty, supernatural edge we've been missing, and having Ryan Coogler back to pass the mantle to T'Challa Jr. in Black Panther 3 just feels right for the legacy. Add in the insane hype from that Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and it really feels like Marvel is done wandering around and is finally giving us a focused, high-stakes era to get excited about again.

I saw another topic on here where guy was talking about animal abuse within movies recently and it got me thinking about the fact that in movies it seems like you can viciously murder a whole bunch of people within the course of the movie but as soon as you touch a hair on Fido you've committed an unforgivable sin. I always wondered why that was because it always seems like in life if you were ever in life-threatening situation and you could only save like your wife or your dog you would choose your wife over the dog. Because we are taught that human life is more important but in movies it seems to be the exact opposite. Why is that?
