James McAvoy for me. X-Men first Class, Split, Speak No Evil, even Victor Frankenstein. If MCavoy’s name is attached to it, I’m probably going to see it. Charlize Theron is next. Mad Max: Fury road, Monster, and Kubo. Old guard… she acted her heart out, but it was okay in the end. (First post)

    I would’ve never expected to say this 17 years ago (don’t linger on that detail too long), but Robert Pattinson

      My wife and I go on actor kicks, and RO was one not too long ago. Might have been spurred on by seeing The Lighthouse, but then it became let’s just watch what he’s done. I won’t watch Twilight, not my jam, but my wife watches it with our daughter, who is now team whatever, I dunno. But Good Time was a great recent flick that switched me from RP to Safdie movies in general.

      If you’ve never watched The Rover, I would highly recommend it. Guy Pearce is excellent in it, but Pattinson’s performance really hit home that he can truly act.

        I did. I’ll have to check, but I think I’ve seen a fair amount of his post-twilight films. Like Radcliffe, he generally picks interesting projects, if nothing else

        Cosmopolis, Good Time, High Life, and ofc The Lighthouse being some of them

        Edit: spelling

      Ah, the stigma and hatred around newly released fantasy romcoms targeted to women. Also the reinvention of the vampire that most people would probably wish had stayed in an obscure YA novel rather than become cinematic history.

      I was always team Wolf but I developed an interest in real vampire culture because of Twilight.

      Did you ever watch Remember Me? Part of me wishes I hadn’t. The unnecessary end hits like a wrecking ball

        I liked Twilight 2, actually. Just happened to see it in the right moment that it worked for me. Never watched the rest of the series though

      Dude, seriously. For the longest time I only knew him as the vampire in Twilight (which I’d never even seen) and wrote him off immediately. Then I saw him in High Life and was like ‘Oh wait a minute, this guy is pretty good actually’. I even liked him in Batman. I’m glad he’s outgrowing his Twilight association.
