I find it weird when horror movies actually scare people and thats because I don't understand it. I'm not saying I'm some big tough cowboy who isn't afraid of anything just not horror films.

    If Brendan Fraser does not win an Oscar for The Whale, then there is no justice in this world. He simply acted his a** off in that movie.

    And I've already commented on this video, but I just want to say how happy it makes me that you recognize Toni Colette's performance in Hereditary! I've only been able to make 2 other people watch that movie, but she's amazing in that role. The movie also has a way of exploring actual, emotional fears rather than just thrills and it makes the movie more than a horror film. It's really satisfying that somebody else feels the same way

    Is anyone else still shocked over how great of a job Renee Zelwiger did playing Judy garland? Wow! I didn’t recognize her at first.. I’m not a big fan and super familiar with her face but…. I never saw it advertised or I might have gone and seen it back in the days when I went to the movies 😂

    • @ckotcher1
      @ckotcher1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually thought her performance was overrated. It was a huge mistake to have her sing. Judy had the most powerful voice with so much pain and anguish in every note. Even at the end of her life when she was losing her voice and yet Renee sounds like a whisper. Don’t believe me? Watch Marion Coitliard In Le Vie En Rose. She played Edith Piaf who was the French Equivalent of Judy Garland. An amazing, superstar with a voice of an Angel but like Garland a tormented addict with demons. Marion won an Oscar and every other award on the planet and she was barely out of her 20’s and the performance is one of the most amazing things you’ll ever see. Heart wrenching.
      Renee was good but I still felt like I was looking at Renee Zellweger and it was a bit superficial. Marion BECAME Edith before your very eyes from the time she was young to an old lady. I think it was around 2008.

He was great…. They could have picked someone else and focused on the last two years of his life and Austin wouldn’t have worked for that but for this? Perfect Choice. 👍🏻
