I think you’ll find it’s correctly written J**** F******* L***

I cannot stand that simpering goon. Nor Eddie Redmayne, who’s face irritates me on an entirely irrational level.

How can you hate the guy that immortalized....

"I creATE LIFE!"*



* = Eddie Redmayne

Some years ago I saw a movie where Eddie Redmayne played a psychotic psycho-sexual serial killer, and I was sold before he even started acting.

I did say it’s an entirely irrational dislike.

Unlike J**** F****** L*** where it’s folk who like his drivel that are irrational.

Mind you. At least he’s not J**** F****** C*****, who remains utterly inexplicable.

Who is the latter name?

But seriously, most annoying actor? In a world with Jared Leto? You, sir, are grievously wrong.

Yeah, I get that. Different background I guess. I've seen 10ish movies with Reynolds and he never made me laugh once. In some of his older works (Definitely Maybe, Safe House, Paper Man, Smokin Aces...) I just thought he was an average actor. However it's since his most recent ones (Deadpool, Hitman Bodyguard, Hobbs/Shaw, Free Guy, Criminal, Self/less, 6 Underground) that I found him extremely annoying. In Life was ok at least.

I like Jared Leto instead, I think he's a really good actor although some of his characters were complete clowns. Written as such though, not always his fault. He's still a Golden Globe and Academy Award winner. And I'm quite shocked that he got two nominations and one win at the razzie awards for House of Gucci, since he was the only one who had a credible accent. Quote: Nomination for Worst Screen Combo: "Jared Leto: either his 17-pound latex face, his geeky clothes or his ridiculous accent"

Not particularly fond of Redmayne, but I liked him a lot in several movies and I thought he was perfect for those roles. Danish Girl, Les Miserables, Theory of Everything, Trial of the Chicago 7, and Fantastic Beast the first titles that come to my mind.

The useless lardy boy who has a completely inexplicable career in the US, despite displaying zero charm, charisma or talent.

James Corden?

I had originally thought Jack Black . . . but there's obvious reasons why that doesn't work with the above comments

That’s him, that’s the Unmentionable One.

God how I loathe him.

Yeah, we are coming from two orthogonal angles here, because I can’t imagine finding Jared Leto good or talented. He sucks the energy out of every scene he is in. His delivery is cringingly stilted. Who cares about accent accuracy if the actor talking makes you want to punch him with every gesture?

Also, look up some of his real life shenanigans. The man is a scumbag.


As for Reynolds…we just watched Free Guy last night, and he was delightful. He was charming and relatable. He delivered the jokes well without becoming a complete ham. He was also great in Deadpool. Now, I didn’t like him in Van Wilder, but that was a long time ago and he has developed as an actor since then.

To me, Redmayne is one of those actors who is so weird that he fits only certain specific roles. I haven’t seen Fantastic Beasts. Frankly, I don’t want to see Fantastic Beasts. As far as I am concerned, Redmayne should stick to playing evil psychopaths.

They punished him. They cast him in Cats.


I don’t remember seeing him in anything else.

Lesbian Vampire Killers.

I'm not joking.

Are they lesbians who kill vampires or do they only kill lesbian vampires?

He just won’t go away.

And I do not understand it.

He did go away. He left the country and hasn’t come back! I find American light entertainment television very easy to not watch.

Voyage to the Planet of the Prehistoric Women

Avoid.

No Amazon Prime. Dirty Amazon Prime. IN YOUR BED, ON YOUR RUG!]

Dirty boy!

Mostly the second one I think.

Stealth

It's on Hulu and I remember it not being good but I had the time.

It's not good still. Actually decent enough up until the final act when the writer apparently ran out of ideas and fell back on the good old conspiracy to kill that makes zero sense and produces more witnesses than it would ever silence. It was pretty bad.

Decent enough I guess if you really like Top Gun or Iron Eagle.

Is that the one where an AI Stealth Bomber correctly figures out our species kind of deserves if?

More like the AI Stealth Fighter decides the Maverick action hero is a role model and predictably starts fething gak up by taking matters into its own hands and ignoring orders.

When I put it like that, the movie could have made for a great deconstruction if the plot didn't go stupid in the last act.

Oh. That’s …way less fun than I expected.

I never put any attention if actors' real lives and I the only thing I know about Leto, outside of his acting career, is that he was or is a singer.

I watch them for their work, not because of who they are or what they do. I couldn't care less if Kevin Spacey, one of the best actors in history, molested someone or Johnny Depp beaten up his wife. In fact, I'd love to see them both again, justice should take its course in the appropriate rooms. I hated the fact that Gina Carano was axes by the Mandalorian just for a political tweet, not because of her acting skills. Cancel culture is a real shame.

New mini-review: Moonfall.

A friend of mine desperately wanted to see it so I joined him. It's the typical Emmerich's disaster movie, except it looks cheaper than usual and has with a twist in the middle of the movie which makes it much more sci-fi oriented. I think it's barely ok in the first half as a typical disaster movie with all the cliches, but absolutely terrible after the mistery is revealed. Overall pretty terrible movie, I'll probably forget it soon. Next time we'll see Ambulance.

Or Lesbian Vampires who just kill generally?

Super Mario Bros

Oh dear lord. Pass the mind bleach.

Good grief… are there not enough warnings around for that film? What possessed you to actually crack those seals?

It was on Amazon Prime.

That doesn't make it right.


I vividly remember watching the Stealth trailer at the cinema and knowing that I'd dislike that film. Years later I watched a few minutes, and found it has a certain trashy appeal, but certainly not enough. I also really dislike portraying military people (even if it's the US military) as childish idiots. I prefer to think that at least it should be adults. (Here's a pretty easy way to tell them apart: The ones wear sun glasses, the others don't.).

Yeah, it's a sucky film. I also really don't like Jessica Biel. Was she in one good film?



Concerning James Corden - I hear he's very annoying any way too present. Don't recall seeing him ever, but I hear bad things. While we're talking about people though - why is Jack Whitehall still around so much?



Of course the idea tickles me a little, but it would make soooo little sense from his point of view.


Last night I caught the last third of Rock ’n’ Roll Nightmare (1987) on TV. It's a rock&roll horror comedy, and very, very cheap. Self-aware to an extent, but not enough for what it is. Possibly. It was made by and stars the dude who made and starred in Zombie Nightmare, which of course all of us have seen several times, because a.) it stars young Dame Tia Carrere and b.) it's been featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, which means we all have seen it at least thrice, because that is the law.

Rock&Roll Nightmare though is way beyond Zombie Nightmare in terms of trash and insanity. Do give it a whirl, if you think that's what you like to watch. It's kinda like the band meet (and bring girls) at a cabin to work on their new album, an ancient demon befalls them and kills them. Something like that. It's pretty weird, but not really weird.


After that, this glorious tv channel showed Boy Soldierz (the dudikoff one). Hadn't seen it in ages, but I had to turn off, because it's gotten too late. I know very little about Dudikoff's work beyond American Ninja/Fighter 1-3. But he's just so boring, isn't he.

Spider-Man Homecoming

Such a good film. Solid cast, interesting plot. Elements of John Hughes films, including a very blatant homage, a homage so blatant the scene it’s homaging cameos in the homage with Spidey calling it a “great film”.

Next up will be Far From Home, then of course No Way Home, because I’m having an indulgent day.

First time I heard of this it was on in the background in the t-bar at work. After 10 minutes I opined "I bet the Black guy does first." This was met with the usual "you can't say that!"

Guess who died first.
Trash can be quite predictable.

Jessica Biel was in a hit TV show and tried to jump to films, but it never really took because she really can not act. On an ensemble TV show, you can sort of hide that fact. In a movie you can not.
