That wouldn’t be surprising! After all, “arty” movies are soooo boring and Ronald Reagan era populist shit flicks are classics!

This is just too over the top! No one is perfect! We are just human and I don’t want to imagine Twitter finding just one little flaw and he suddenly being the worst human ever!
He wasn’t even considered a “good actor” when he was young! He was just too pretty! And he wasn’t bad at all! Gods and Monster was great but, of course, Ian McKellen was the real star. He used to do mostly silly films and nothing more. Hopefully, he can change his career and doing something great but he wasn’t the acclaimed actor they are pretending he was.

It’s all Gods and Monsters on Twitter. Madonna or whore (although these days that last appellation isn’t considered anything bad, lol). Elevate your fav to unnatural levels and then when it’s revealed they’re human, tear them to pieces. As BC said, they either want to f*ck you or kill you. Sometimes both at the same time because kink. 😂 It happens over and over and folks never seem to learn. It certainly is tedious, isn’t it? Fandom seems to be led around by a bunch of 20 year olds with underdeveloped frontal lobes and a dearth of critical thinking skills.
I think BF started doing those “silly” movies because he was blacklisted around that time, wasn’t he? So that was the work he could get before he just up and left. Or maybe he had terrible project options and liked those things. I can’t remember, but that was when I stopped following him. I don’t care for those kind of movies, no matter how cute the star is. He certainly blew everyone away in Gods and Monsters and had been touted as the Next Big Thing.
Ah, me Old is showing. 👩🏼🦳
Yet another thing I appreciate about BC (all roads lead to him, don’t they?) He’s done a remarkable job of choosing his projects. They have breadth and depth, always something different to challenge him (even if you have to look closely to see past the “brilliant oddity,” trope), good to great writing, production values, directors, etc. He’s been very clever in that regard, growing his career so carefully.

I’m happy for BF because he seems so happy! I never had any particular feelings for him because he always seemed to do silly goofball movies, which didn’t interest me, and so I’ve never seen anything he’s been in.
I didn’t even know he was Canadian!

I saw this article ranking the numerous movies directed by actors at TIFF, www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2023-09-13/actors-directors-tiff-2023-rankingHow it’s possible that the kid from Stranger Things directed a teen horror flick that apparently was more acclaimed that films by Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, Taika Waititi (an experimented filmmaker who is also an occasional actor but for whatever reason he was included here as actor-director!), Chris Pine, Kristin Scott Thomas and Michael Keaton! Anyway, fascinating that someone who didn’t received so much hype before the festival like Anna Kendrick is the one being acclaimed and the one critics are saying as a great future as director. I’m glad for her and I really want to watch her movie, it sounds very interesting! I don’t want to be bitchy but Pine, especially, become a Film Twitter favorite even when for starters he isn’t that good as actor. Maybe because the hurrahs of Tarantino, who actually tends to like B and C talents and is disparaging with “too” high quality actors (remember when he says that Cate Blanchet will be forgotten!). So Film Twitter claimed that the less successful Chris was the best Chris and now they are sad that his directorial debut bombed! I imagine that if it were other non “fave” actors, they would be cheering! (Did you see how they attacked Ethan Hawke’s daughter?!) Anyway, I wish him the best! But why they were so sure he will be a great filmmaker?

There are interviews with EH at TIFF, sometimes along with his daughter, that the media made a big deal about, likely because few actors showed up this year. In one interview, he said he would have done anything to be there. He said that after three flights were cancelled, he took an overnight bus from NY city to Toronto! Of course, there were comments criticizing him because he’s wealthy and surely could have taken a private jet, or even a limousine, instead of a bus.
I didn’t realize that those Overnight Trips went on at this time of year! I’ve seen the bus companies advertise them close to Christmas as shopping trips. A friend of mine has done it before, but from Toronto to NYC. It’s a 12-hour drive, so you travel all night and arrive in NYC in the morning. You’re supposed to sleep on the bus. Once you arrive, the bus drops you off and you have the entire day there before the bus picks you up at night to drive back to Toronto. There is no hotel, because you sleep on the bus. This would be a weekend trip - you leave Friday night, spend Saturday in NYC, and are back home on Sunday. My friend hates flying, so she loved it when she did it.

If Twitter discovered he traveled on a private jet he would be ALSO criticized! Undoubtedly!
Also, his daughter is adorable! She is good actress, too! I don't understand the attacks! Probably, just jealously!
This reminds me something actually very dark and bizarre. Last week, I ended watching a kinda morbid HBO documentary about a Brazilian soap opera actress who was murdered by her co-star and his wife. My main take was how awfully authorities managed things like the crime scene but it still was quickly resolved mostly thanks to a random citizen who thought some cars were suspicious and wrote their numbers and even returned and could see the wife in one of the suspicious cars; and to the mother's actress own investigation. And that's the thing! I didn't liked the documentary itself. I haven't finished the thing, actually! But my doubt was why they want to killed her? The guy obviously blamed the victim at the beginning but it was totally ridiculous (she harrasing him, a big muscled man, and she taking him to some bushes to seduce him and then trying to kill him! He just defended himself!). Apparently, it was jealousy and resentment because his character was finished in the story when she not just was the lead and the star but also the show runner's daughter! Of course, I'm not saying those "nepotism" critics are potential murderers but damn! the extreme hate and jealousy reminded me to them!
