I don’t understand how he keeps getting roles.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

Sadly, yes. Apparently he plays Ares as well, so I assume he will have morbius amounts of screen time.

Whelp that’s going to be a no for me.

It dropped from a "oh I should see that in theaters" to "eh maybe when it hits streaming"

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I really hope he says "IT'S MORBIN' TIME"

The women and the children?!

He erased them like programs!

He's the one funding this movie. He's whole reason why this movie was made in the first place.

Apparently Jeff Bridges said this in an interview

Under the right director, with the right story, Jared Leto can be absolutely brilliant. There are plenty of examples of this, from 'Requiem for a Dream' to 'Dallas Buyers Club'. Unfortunately, the stars have to align perfectly for him to be anything other than a cringe factory of hammy over-acting. I don't know who is directing the new Tron, but the odds of them being the right person to pull a good performance out of Leto are not great. I'd like to be wrong, and I hope I am, but probably not. He's probably going to chew the scenes in the worst way, as he usually does, and be the worst part of the movie, as he usually is.

Words I thought I'd never say:

Thank you Doctor Satan!

This hit me like a brick to the face earlier too. I'm relieved to see plenty of others share my sentiment!

But who else still jams out to 30 secs to mars every now and again?

[–] DearMoogle@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don’t really care for Jared Leto and think he’s a creepo, but I recently watched the movie Dallas Buyers Club and thought he did a really good job

People used to crap on Pattinson too when he chosen to play the role of the batman

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

For me personally, I knew Pattinson has the chops and is a good actor. His only real miss was the Twilight movies, but he’s been great in everything since. Leto on the other hand has more bad than good. Plus the stuff he does off screen.

The Lighthouse

why do they always have to fucking ruin everythonnnhgh D''':

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip -3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Why the fuck do we need another tron remake already?? The last one is barely a decade old and got a lukewarm reception at best.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 13 points 4 days ago

Because it's not a remake. Also, Tron: Legacy was a sequel to the original Tron.
