Oldie but goodie.

My son lives in and has a business in Jackson Hole Wyoming where Harrison Ford has a ranch and has done a few projects for him. They're on a first name basis and a few summers ago which is the only time to visit we were in one of the best restaurants in town when he came in and saw Josh and came right over to are table with his wife, we invited them to dine with us and they were super nice. So my wife was in awe of him and couldn't take her eyes off of him which I noticed. I leaned over and told her you know I could kick the out him as I'm or was an ex-athlete standing 6'4 and a solid 220. This of course was said in fun as he is short fella. Everytime I hear his name i remember that day. Also always liked his movies. lol.

He's also a better actor; but again, not nearly the icon or star that Cruise is.

I've probably said this before on the Entertainment board, but I think Bale is one of the most underrated actors in history. Another one who is apparently very tightly wound in real life and very intense.

Great range. Among the best imo.

I watched the entire movie The Fighter and had no idea Christian Bale was in the movie until I saw the credits at the end.

Yes, he is incredibly talented.

Christian Bale was amazing in this film. Also might be a good time for an eye exam.

I don’t mean that the rant was great acting. I mean that he is a great actor. Total whack job but gives his all to his job from all appearances. I loved many of his movies because of how good he was in his role.

It took a long time for people to realize this, but Tropic Thunder should have put any doubt to rest.

He is also a huge producer in Hollywood. He can do this rant because it’s his production.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Agree about the chameleon take. John Malkovich. I like all of these actors and for some great actors I think it's more about their true personas than acting skill. Robert De Niro is always Robert De Niro, and he's also kind of losing his mind. Shia LeBeouf is up there in both talent and nutty. Denzel is a great star and a lot of it is because he is just a cool mf and I always know I'm watching Denzel.

Then I find this and it just basically lists all the popular actors.

Actors who can act "Convincingly" outside their own persona - IMDb

Nicholson is #2 on that list? No way. He is right there on top of the opposite list of guys who are always putting themselves into the character. He may be the least chameleon great actor of them all.

What was he ranting about?

What was he ranting about?

‘Rona exposure risk

What was he ranting about?

People being stupid about covid is my guess.

Cruise doesn’t let you down. Interview, the Firm, Born on 4th, Far and Away, Color of Money, A Few Good Men, Rain Man, Top Gun, Risky Business... all great, big flicks.

Corrected it for you.

Ed Norton is one of the most underrated actors in history.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Well I know one thing about rants.....the UConn board has a rich history from which to judge.

I watched that movie in the theater with my two Chicago friends who are from Lowell, MA. We sat in the last row and during the opening scene where Micky and Dicky are doing road construction they are cheering and one of my friend's is pointing out where his house is. The other trainer in the movie O'Keefe was a father figure for my friend, had dinner with them on holidays and brought presents for Christmas. The movie was incredibly authentic and Bale was remarkable.

Thanks. Just saw this.

Leah Remini Says This Was the Real Reason for Tom Cruise's COVID Rant

By now, you've probably heard clips of the leaked audio recording of actor Tom Cruise loudly chastising the crew on the set of Mission: Impossible 7 after some staffers allegedly flouted COVID social distancing guidelines. The profanity-laced tirade has divided opinions across the internet, with...

What a , I would have took my mask off and walked off just on principle alone. You don’t talk to fellow adults like they’re toddlers and expect them to abide to your commands. Lil Tom would have had another thing coming.

 

[Adios]

I have no clue what I was hearing, but whatever the deal, Clooney says he agrees with Cruise.

George Clooney says Tom Cruise 'didn't overreact' in his COVID-19 rant to 'Mission: Impossible' staff

Leaked audio revealed Cruise shouting and swearing at crew members who broke COVID-19 safety rules by standing too close together.

I would just laugh, just to get more of a reaction out of him. Part of me would be in awe of Cruise yelling at me. He is crazy but himself and I can respect that. To be fair if we recorded our best rants about 90 percent of us would look very bad. Im sure Jim Calhoun has said way worse. The great ones are wired differently and demand excellence not want demand.

He's his own character and lets face it we dont care about what kind of humans these people are we just like their acting just like we dont care about athletes or coaches off the field/court/ice. Maybe Cruise does put on this persona because the cameras are on him all the time it even pales in comparison to being a famous athlete. A lot of these actors are celebrities from child hood and dont have normal lives, you see the tragic tales of suicide and depression. Supposedly Cruise doesn't drink or take any medication, I know he has Dyslexia.

The production shutting down puts a lot of people out of work who will be hurt financially very badly. Tom, not so much.

A bunch of crew members did walk off and quit. This was all staged, he's not even following any of the protocols he was freaking out about.

That was his point.

He's taking it so seriously...

I get it. You dont like the guy. I really dont care.

Ed Norton is one of the most underrated actors in history.

Norton's done some good work. I don't know if he is underrated. I always think of F ight Club, The Italian Job, Rounders and American History X. I guess I haven't seen most of his movies but he hasn't racked them up like Cruise or DiCaprio.

DiCaprio doesn’t work very often and when he does he only does prestige flicks. Norton is a way better actor than Cruise, he’s just another guy that doesn’t work as much as some other guys by choice. Cruise is more like Will Smith - he’d rather do a disaster flick that spins off a McDonald’s extra value meal promotion and makes a billion dollars than challenge himself with something interesting. There’s room for both I guess.
