Myself, I adore Jimmy Stewarts work as a drunk Yooper lawyer in Anatomy of a Murder. In It's A Wonderful Life, I always root for the bridge. I honestly haven't really seen much of his other work.

Jimmy Stewart is perfect when used by a director who fits him in as a widget. So, in Mr. Smith and Harvey and Liberty Valance he's ideal.

There are zillions of actors who are like that. He's essentially Ahnold, just instead of an emotionless Austrian he's that stumbling aw shucks flyover with the heart of gold.

He's got the range of Amed Rosario going to his left, but acting is not what he's hired for. So he's great.

He was f-cking awful on Carson, though. Get the cane.

I was making fun of Kep, but like Hanks I understand people not caring for his shtick. There's a reason he was made fun of so often. :p

EDIT: Called it! (sort of)

He's wonderful in this but he's not the drunk his partner (who is somebody like Walter Brennan) is.
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

Yes, his partner is the lush. I thought Jimmy liked to imbibe too in the film.

Even Hipsters think Kepler has a bad attitude and should lighten up ;) :D

BTW, Avengers: Endgame has officially passed Avatar to become the top grossing movie of all-time.

At least until next December, when Disney re-releases Avatar ahead of Avatar 2.

But they aren't just entertainment. Or are paintings just pretty pictures?

The entertainment aspect of movies is how they make money which gets them made. That's important. But it's not the only important thing, it's just the most accessible thing (which, in the long run, is unimportant, unless you want all your art to be a baby's rattle).

Totally agree.


...i love Jarmusch, Kubrick, Scorsese Kurosawa And Coppola.

I also love Roadhouse, which, I dunno, I just do.

solo - Apollo 13 was very much on point with some obvious Hollywood adds.

Finally. Agreement.

BTW, it was on AMC tonight at the moment of the 50th anniversary. There is something fitting there. It is possible (in fact, probable) that more Americans were watching Roadhouse at that moment than were watching the NASA realtime feed.
