The off topic thread #2

[Bojan KantKick]

Just on Cruise, while he isnt exactly Leo or DDL or Heath or PSH in the acting department, he makes a ton of excellent films. Whether it's him or his agents, all the projects he works on are usually hit or just really good films.

Top Gun
Risky Business
Color of Money
Days of Thunder
Cocktail
All the Right Moves
Born on the 4th of July
Rainman
A Few Good Men
Interview with a Vampire
Mission Impossible series
Magnolia
Tropic Thunder
Minority Report
The Last Samurai
Collateral
War of the Worlds
Valkyrie
Jack Reacher
Oblivion
Edge of Tomorrow

He has an excellent resume.

90% of those films are shit to average.

Tom Hanks. I just love his movies.
Have him set to appear first on my feed too, seems a nice guy.

Hanks is all class. Similar to Cruise that he never makes a bad film really. Well his % is high for great films. But different to Cruise in that Hanks is pound for pound one of the best actors ever. Hanks is right there with guys like DDL, PSH, De Niro etc...

We'll have to agree to disagree then.

You also forgot 2 of his best. Jerry McGuire & Eyes Wide Shut.

Has anyone listened to the new Childish Gambino album?

That's a pretty dreadful résumé. No wonder I've never been impressed by him

Ive heard a couple of tracks that were released, havent heard the full album yet though.

Tom Cruise is an excellent actor and always makes good movies. He's just a huge twat in the real world. Lucky for us, his job is pretending to be other people.

There's just something about his face that pisses me off. This is even before the Scientology stuff. His movies are enjoyable but would be even better if his character was played by someone else. A 5 foot 4 action hero with a punchable head just isn't right

Out of 10?

Has anyone listened to the new Childish Gambino album?

Not a fan. They are flogging it on the J's as its the album of the week. Must say hes a pretty talented fella though.

At least its not as bad as the Weekend, fair old Michael Jackson wannabe. Though Childish is sounding pretty 'Princey'

 

[Cruyff14]

Tom Hanks is a brilliant actor, like Leo, doesn't make poor movies.

And does Gero said, seems like an absolutely ripping bloke.

 

[Loonerty]

Has anyone listened to the new Childish Gambino album?

Yep. Dunno what to think. I like the first half but the second might take a few listens.

 

[Loonerty]

I think Redbone is one of the best songs he's made though.

I dont mind the Weekends song with Daft Punk but that is because its Daft Punk. Cannot stand them normally.

I have tried listening to thw Childish Gambino album twice and have given up. I do not like it.

 

[jd2010]

Interesting

I actually love it. Never been a massive fan of his music but this one has really grabbed me, fair change in trajectory for him.

Yeah its apparently a fair change of direction, no more rapping.

Still waiting for something I didn't expect. [emoji14]

Spoiler

please don't tell me the MiB/William twist surprised you haha I genuinely watched the second episode with William entering the park thinking it was a flashback and not even thinking it was meant as a shock.

Spoiler

Haha no, that was obvious.

You knew Ford would allow the hosts to run riot in the park as his final narrative? That he'd use Delores to go out the same way Arnold did?

 

[Jatz]

The Firm is my favourite Tom Cruise flick. More so because it's John Grisham but still.

No but I didn't consider that a twist, just a plot advance that yes I did find cool. Sorry I was talking about the HUGE GASP SHOCKING TWISTS THAT EVERYONE IS LOSING THEIR MIND OVER. Which have all been really obvious.

This is my all time favourite from Tom Hanks

Surely Ford dying is a fairly big plot twist? He's proven to be all knowing/powerful this season - I certainly didn't see it going that way.

Not to mention how brilliantly they've set up season 2. It's going to be absolute chaos!

Spoiler

What massacre?

If you mean at the end, William is confirmed as coming back next season so I don't think many died.

Spoiler

Meh, I'd been expecting him to die for a while, every other human pretty much has died or been attacked by hosts, and they were setting him up too much as all-powerful so something was always going to happen to him. He'll likely come back as a host anyway.

Really? There don't seem to be any plot points continuing into next season that are interesting at all, no real cliffhanger. The hosts took over the park. Ok cool. Who are our protagonists who are going to stop them? Why do we need them to be stopped? Are we just going to get a bunch of new characters? It will be interesting but there's nothing making me desperate to see the next episode.

Maybe I just don't get it, but my interest in this show has been dropping off a cliff week after week.

I think Ford would have instructed them not to kill William because he wanted hosts that fight back, but I think pretty much everyone else at that party would have been killed.

Also a massacre is just the killing of many people. I think it definitely qualifies.
