@AMoonWriter@benzostraydogs It got solid reviews at the time but these days feels pretty ignored even by late Mann fans. Personally I think it's really underappreciated. Maybe the last worthwhile Depp performance.
40 years since making The Color of Money.
I had the privilege as a young artist, to have a general meeting with Paul Newman and separately with Martin Scorsese years before making this film, where they shared some of their wisdom on cinema.
Of course, I’d seen their films, but prior to meeting them for the first time, I set up a personal study course where I would watch their films in sequence from the beginning of their careers, up until that point in time.
After being cast in The Color of Money, I once again studied all of their films in sequence.
Having studied their work, then being able to see firsthand these incredible artists, the towering legends of our field, at work on set, I was able to observe their practical application in every aspect of acting and filmmaking from their point of view.
I will always be grateful for this opportunity and for the generosity that Newman and Scorsese showed me with their knowledge of cinema and insight throughout the entire process.
To Marty, Paul, and the enormously talented cast and crew, it was a pleasure and an honor to be part of this film with you all! I have carried this experience and knowledge with me my entire career.
@Caol_MacCormaic Argo feels like the most likely as a coattail nom for the best pic winner like he got at BAFTA that year. Wouldn't be surprised if he was 6th place. In a just world he would've got the nom for The Last Duel
So, The Dog Stars. I can't quite remember the last time there was such a blatant bound-to-be-reappraised gem. Terrible marketing aside, the hostility from critics and Letterboxd users seems disproportionate to what is Ridley Scott's most tender, modest work since A Good Year.
The Dog Stars is really fucking good. One of the best Ridleys of the past 15 or 20 years. Lovely work by an old sentimental, structurally reminded me of a new hollywood picture
@TheAlexSylvian If anyone had gone to see In the Grey this past weekend they could've seen Guy Ritchie apologize by making Henry Cavill boring and bad this time
Nobody is particularly good in In The Grey, even Gyllenhaal is sleepwalking through it, but Cavill is just straight up not good in it. So dry and boring and wooden. Can't imagine watching it and still thinking this guy's gotta be Bond
After watching Guy Ritchies new film In The Grey it’s got me scratching my head why Henry Cavill is currently not the top contender for the role of James Bond
He is currently giving off James Bond more then ever!
Crazy how he has 7 noms and he'd still got at least as many snubs. The Thunderbolt and Lightfoot nom is so cool that I don't even care that it's category fraud.

A family’s downfall becomes a stark elegy for the ideals of the American frontier in this quietly subversive reimagining of western myths.
