a good lad

>>79338036
"Bug" is fucking great.

I like him. I don't think he really has a ton of range, but he's a good character actor.

I really like him, but I feel the more he goes on the crappier generally his filmography gets, the big movies he's in do poorly and he's in less and less smaller titles where he seems to really shine
Case in point, his best performance imo is still Take Shelter

Well for me he was one of "those guys" for a while, he was in a couple of movies with minor roles so I never really noticed him, that was until I watched Boardwalk Empire, his performance there is perfect there is no single flaw.

I think there is still a lot for him to explore and grow as an actor so im excited.

He was great in Nocturnal Animals

He was good in Take Shelter.

A fine actor. Loved his cameo in Delocated.

>>79338036
Take Shelter really cogitates the slush in the brain pan.

>>79338036
Looks like fifty other actors. Acts like fifty other actors. No way this guy gets roles without sucking dick. Meh.

>>79338036
I hate him I hate bug eyed people freaks me the fuck out

I used to comfuse him with Joaquin Phoenix. I like him

>>79338173

candy apple red dodge durango!

>>79338093

I'd agree with that. Take Shelter gave him a little bit more room but I'd like to see him in different roles like that and Revolutionary Road.

>>79338036
>played Eminem's stepfather in 8 Mile
>was younger than Eminem IRL
>looked older than Eminem's mom in the movie
Great actor, but was he born looking 50?

>No way this guy gets roles without sucking dick.
Would you really want Michael Shannon sucking on your dick? Just picture that for a moment, those perpetually-angry bugged out eyes just staring up at you while he bobs and slurps on your knob. "You like that, babe? You got a tasty dick," he snarls out with Oscar-worthy intensity.

I feel like anyone who's in a position to run a "casting couch" type of scenario would opt for a less terrifying blowjob, but I guess everyone's got a type...

He's a good actor but he is a cuck married to a woman way below his league

>>79338288

hahah never thought of that. maybe he won't age past 50 either.

You tell me

>>79338349

and the award for most likely to bite your dick off instead of blowing you goes to

I've only seen him in three things

Shotgun Stories, Take Shelter and Boardwalk Empire.

Liked him in all of them.

>>79338036
he was good in groundhog day

>>79338379
must've been before his meth addiction

>>79338379

holy shit what movie is this?

Always thought he'd fit well in a Humphrey Bogart style private detective noir role. I think he did some comedy like that but I mean the real deal.

Takes the "I disown family members I disagree with politically" route which I find sociopathic but whatever.

>>79338379
he just looks fat there nowhere near as terrible as he became

maybe he should have kept the fat

Nocturnal Animals and Midnight Special did pretty well. Maybe not the latter so much but I agree with you mostly.

Hopefully some better directors will take a look at him in the future.

>>79338440
Would've been less effort to just tell him

>>79338440

i've watched 5-10 minutes of this and what about bob? here and there for most of my life. are these essential in any way?

>>79338507
>he doesn't operate at peak efficiency at all times
It's like you aren't autistic
I bet you don't even count the number of characters in your replies to make sure they're always an even number

He's great, I'm a huge fan. I hope he wins the oscar but Ali seems the favorite who was also really good.

His best performances are Take Shelter, Revolutionary Road, Boardwalk Empire, Shotgun Stories, Bug, Nocturnal Animals, 99 Homes, My Son My Son What Have Ye Done, Midnight Special, and Premium Rush. I think he has a great filmography.

Also he steals the show in The Night Before, and >>79338173 was great as well.

>>79338036
I like him and got really sad when I found out he's ultra liberal, but still like him.

Midnight special wasn't so great but he was the best part of it.

>>79338584
He's great and I think he should win an Oscar at some point, but not really for Nocturnal Animals. I really don't understand the hype for that film, it was nothing special.

>he fucked Eminem's mom

Buddy cop movie with Mads Mikelsen when?
Willem Dafoe can be their police chief

>catched

He's a professional cuckold

>>79338607

It's almost to be expected. People with more conservative views don't talk about them.

Real hard to separate politics from people now. I get you. Especially with comedians but luckily actors just give a few interviews here and there.

>alexjones17
You mean Bill Hicks

>>79338672
You'd look middle aged at 17 too if all you ate was STEAK

Early AJ is funnier than any Hicks routine.

>>79338678

herzog as the villain again like port of call. great casting.

>>79338631
I don't really care for the movie itself either but I did like his performance. It was too bad he had to previously go up against a dead Heath ledger, you can't really compete with that.

holy fuck why am I laughing so hard

it's like a little alex jones action figure
