• Zendaya, Tom Holland, and… Tie guy?

    I only know the first two because the MCU is everywhere and it seems like Zendaya went from being in nothing to suddenly being in everything for about 2 minutes of screen time where she mostly just gives the main character looks and disappears for awhile.

    The last one, based on the oddysey being all over the front page, I do vaguely recognize? Maybe?

      The third guy is Robert Pattinson, I think he’s the only of the three with range, I really dug Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis. He’s also in The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe but I haven’t watched that one

      Oh and in Mickey17 where he played two very different clones/copies, great chops honestly

        Watch The Lighthouse. I found it very symbolic. Someone might say allegorical even. The journey of life and so forth

      • Ah. I haven’t seen him in anything since my sister dragged me to see twilight. Not that I don’t think he has acting capability, but nobody’s performance in that movie wowed me.

          I saw the first one with girl friends, as a young adult. I was dragged there too… Apparently the sequels are worse

            They are, if you go in expecting worse you can enjoy the disaster that they are, the cringe is…next level

            Also Robert Pattenson is a phenomenal actor.

          That’s the big surprise for everyone like me who saw Twilight and thought that guy was an empty head. Turns out he’s a great actor with real ability and range!

          He’s great in Tenet, although the movie itself is kind of a mess. He’s great as the new Batman. When I see his name on a poster now, it actually makes me want to see the movie.

          I never would have guessed that the glittery vampire creep would turn into one of my favourite actors to watch.

          Edit: The Lighthouse! Amazing film. Can’t believe I forgot it.

      Pattinson is actually a pretty good actor imo. I’ve liked him in every role I’ve seen him in. would recommend checking out the movies he’s been in

      Zendaya is Zendaya. Tom Holland is Tom Holland.

        Pattison could convincingly play a tie.

        It’s easy to remember him in his Twilight sparkle-vampire role, but he actually has shown great range in his other roles - I loved his performances in the Odyssey and the Lighthouse.
