i honestly can't think of a chris walken performance where he ever wasn't giving it his all. he reminds me a lot of donald pleasance in that he loves acting and will always treat every role he takes with respect, whether it deserves it or not. he's always gonna show up to work. that's why he will, without fail, stand out in everything he's in. he's always doing something.

Sometimes you hire Christopher Walken the Actor, and sometimes you hire Christopher Walken the Character, but either way he’s gonna bring the fuckin’ works.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Christopher Walken was great in Deer Hunter but god damn that movie is not one you watch on an unhappy day. I also love him in King Of New York and the Rundown. When you watch a Walken movie you get a Walken movie.
Also Kevin Bacon and Ethan Hawke are like creepy religious leader buddies now in their old age.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

So the thing is that every time I see Christopher Walken in a movie, I see him as a person, not a character. This is Hollywood Actor Christopher Walken who has just showed up in a movie full of fictional characters.
And it's fine. Nobody else in the film knows how to deal with his inscrutable bullshit either. As long as you cast him as a law unto himself who baffles everyone around him and does what he wants, it's fine.
Seeing this go around and get lauded. Which is weird because she just took a bunch of sentences to say "I have not ever been on a crew nor am I real friends with anybody who has"
Crew ain't reading film criticism and getting in their feelings about it. Grips aren't scrolling Rotten Tomatoes with bated breath. Crew takes pride in their work, knows when their job was done well or not, and care more about the checks clearing than about what some nerd on a blog said about the finished film. To say that they do care, that they should care, is actually weird and kinda patronizing! They don't give a shit! They have a zen-like awareness of what's in their power to control and what isn't, quit trying to fuck up that balance!!!
We only care when someone tries to make something our fault when it clearly isn't.
"I hated Iron Man 2! I bet those IATSE jamokes are the reason the action looks so halting and awkward!"
The fuck we are! You blame that shit on the director and the 1st AD, not my camera-handlin' ass. All the film school, nepotism, and cocaine in the world can't make the creatives do better at *(gestures broadly)* creating! I just point the camera where they tell me to and hope that the pyro guy didn't forget to take his meds that morning. That's all! That's it!
As long as the check clears, I give no fucks because--and this is crucial--creative solutions are outside the pre-negotiated parameters of my contract. You want me to give you creative solutions? Cool. Give me a producer credit and I'll start rattling off ideas for you. Can't guarantee you'll get anything good out of me, but even the greatest creative minds lay the odd goose egg every now and again; surely the inverse is true, right?
Also, I guess she has no idea about mystery science theater 3k with logic like that
I saw The Northman and it was suitably weird if not your bog standard revenge flick.
The big takeaway here is Alexander Skarsgård is built like a fuckin semi truck.
His celebrity trainer has an app up that has his workout routine and on the one hand I am sure it is mostly a gimmick workout but on the other hand holy good golly any scene in which he was shirtless.

I don't think its a gimmick, but its a workout designed to make someone look very very good, versus being very strong, or good at some specific sport or activity. During pandemic Katee Sackhoff was posting a lot on youtube and part of that had been her workouts and stuff, and how they are designed to maximize symmetry and Hollywood "muscle" in that they focused very specifically on certain muscle groups for appearance. She ended up strong, but that wasn't the goal.
Man that movie had some great performances. One of Vigo's first big roles.
"I can lay you down and fill your mouth with your mothers feces or we can talk."
"Humans - and how I love you talking monkeys for this - know more about war and treachery of the spirit than any angel."
They get into it with each other, too! Lucifer pointing out that Gabriel's war is selfish, and that puts it under his purview, while Gabriel mocks him for sulking in the basement.

Hey, UK people who like good movies: 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' is in your theaters now. If you feel comfortable with sitting in a theater right now, you should absolutely go watch it.
Pretty much every comedian on Earth has their own Christopher Walken impression, but I think Jay Mohr's is probably the best I've ever heard (other than Christopher Walken's, of course)

For the unfamiliar, he was in Wingard's best movie:

He was, easily, the best part of Joe Dirt.
Also Kevin Bacon and Ethan Hawke are like creepy religious leader buddies now in their old age.

But then he pulls shit like this:

He'll probably be a pretty good emperor.
Also you get to see right wing prick Ricky Schroeder lose if you ever watch the movie.

I think about this scene a lot

He'd better be to win over Anya Taylor Joy, because she's gorgeous.
Tonight I am rectifying that.
Holy shit, Jesus Christ, this is my jam.
You could not design a more guided film just for me.
Heathers is far darker as the movie than the musical
The Animatic
Mean girls would work better as an animatic

You know what pairs well with that is the 1980 Flash Gordon movie
Shakespeare was inspired by it to write Hamlet.

There are many other good videos about how much he loved Skeletor.
It wasn't readily available to me, so I instead went with the Westworld movie.
Walken, Karen Allen, Paul Giamatti, Burgess Meredith??
Oh, oh I am liking the look of that
