Stars at Noon movie is wonderful! 45 seconds of John C Reilly! Another mark in favor of Joe Alwyn.

Joe Alwyn has it, imo! The only thing he's not been good in that I've seen is Conversations with Friends - but NO one in that show is good, the whole show is bad!

I was the one who said hi after Furiousa. I would've said more but my brain was still in the perpetual "hell yeah" mode that the movie induced. I will say that the Hemsworth nose really worked for me and has me hoping for a third "movie star wears a ridiculous nose prosthetic" film this year.

omg thank you again for saying hi!! I was in a diet pepsi-induced coma myself... I love the Hemsworth nose! his character design in general (the shifting, gradient cape) was really working for me, though hard to top the Octoboss in terms of sick new guys

“Rise of the” is the first one with James Franco. The one you like is “Dawn of the”. In retrospect their titles should clearly be reversed

I s2g I mess this up once a week.... but yes! They should be reversed! The Franco one isn't terrible, but it needed - like most movies - Jason Clarke in it.

Dawn of the is kind of an odd duck for me. I liked it fine but by the end also felt like I had seen everything the series had to offer and I never saw the following ones

for all that I like to complain about big franchise stuff not having real plot and themes, these apes movies ostensibly have those but are also... to me... mostly so boring

You KNOW that grad-school-coded orangutan has gotta have read Derrida like five-times-over.
