another new international trailer ...
looks pretty good
The ing Master? That movie sucked!
I agree with you about DiCaprio though. I used to make fun of him, but then a time came when I thought, "Oh Leo is in it? Yeah, I'll see it then". It was probably after the aviator.
those who say The Master "sucked" obviously prefers the likes of Transformers and Batman-like movies. nothing wrong with that by any means, but to say it "sucked" speaks volumes. I can say that it definitely wasn't PTA's strongest film, but it was good and Joaquin Phoenix along with Philip Seymour Hoffman were incredible in it.
watching the previews I thought "man, this movie looks intriguing". When I asked my wife if she wanted to see it she said "what's it about" I said "I am not sure, but the previews make it look really intriguing". I showed her a preview and she agreed. We went to go see the movie and it kept building and and was interesting and intriguing all the way until the credits. I was intrigued until the credits, then I was let down. If someone asks me what its about I will still say "I'm not sure". It never delivered on its intrigue. It sucked.
I hate to say this, because I'm a Quentin fan, but I'm really not impressed with the trailer at all. Really not a fan of Jamie Fox. I tolerated The Soloist and Any Given Sunday more so because of Al Pacino and Robert Downey Jr. He is a good actor, just not someone I rush to theaters to see. Leo is one of my fave actors of all time, but idk, just feel that this will let me down just like PTA's movie did recently. Lincoln was also good, but didn't seem to meet my expectations either.
These so called Oscar movies aren't cutting it for me. So far movies that have stood out to me this year are Lawless and The Grey.
Hopefully I'm wrong about this film.

my only complaint about this movie is that phony Jamie Foxx is in it. dude does one good impersonation of Ray Charles and is considered (by some and few) a legit actor. I just hope that he doesn't ruin it. this film would have been so much better if Will Smith had taken the role when Tarantino offered it to him.
Booty Call was money sons
Will Smith in the role? Naah. Of course Brhornet would pick Will Smith though. Lmao.
You my e-friend now.
It's not going to reach the heights many here think it will. A good movie worth the time and $$$$$ but it will end there.
I do think a good western is as good as it gets however. Those great western writers on a par with anyone.
TV needs a great western.
i'll see it after christmas.
just in case some socially awkward white male decides to shoot up the theater on opening night.
best believe i will be in that mofo strapped up just in case.
I'd prefer Denzel over the overrated Jamie Fox any day
jamie foxx is a racist n!gger the stupid racist stuff he's been saying lately has already been old since before he opened his fat lip mouth..won't be watching him and his movie
son I didn't pick anyone. If you would pay attention and educate yourself then you would know that Tarantino wrote the role of Django for Will Smith. He claims that he was too busy filming Men in Black to do it though.
son pretty much any black actor out there would be better than Jamie Foxx. he is the most overrated actor in the business hands down. my choice for the role would have been this man ...
Djimon Hounsou
Can't believe I didn't think of him. Yup, he would have guaranteed I'd be at the midnight showing. Jamie Foxx however puts my urgency to watch it on hold.son pretty much any black actor out there would be better than Jamie Foxx. he is the most overrated actor in the business hands down. my choice for the role would have been this man ...
Djimon Hounsou
Yeah the decision to use Jamie Foxx seems strange, not something I would expect.
Leo really wants an award, no one to outshine him.
its just impossible to take him serious on screen. his acting skills are below average and borderline comical. I'm being dead serious with what I am about to say and yes its absurd .... but I would rather see Tyler Perry in this role over Jamie Faux and I guarantee you he would do a better job.
the only reason Jamie Faux is considered by some in the industry as a legit actor is quite simple. back in 2005 the Academy was feeling a ton of pressure to boost black actors to win the Oscar because they had been under scrutiny for quite sometime about the lack of black actors/actresses winning. they said ... "hey Jamie Foxx does a really good impersonation of Ray Charles and also had a supporting role in Collateral with Tom Cruise ... lets nominate him for both films in the same year and let him win for Ray in order to prove we're not racist. we'll call him "actor of the year"."
Or maybe he really did nail down those roles? Not everything is about race. I thought he was good in Ali too.
Btw, movie would've been too serious with Hounsou imo.
son he nailed "Ray" because all that was asked of him was to make an impersonation of a singer. he didn't act at all in that movie and for the few acting moments that he did have in it, well ... you could find better acting on the Lifetime Movie Channel. he also was not worthy of an Oscar nomination in "Collateral" as well. there was absolutely nothing about his "performance" in Collateral that stands out in any way shape or form. there is a reason why that was the only year he was ever recognized with awards and hasn't even been nominated for anything ever since. the Academy was pressured with the race card and they caved in.
put it this way ... you could walk down the Las Vegas Strip right now at this very moment and within 10 minutes you would find countless street musicians impersonating the likes of Elvis, Michael Jackson, etc. who do just as good and likely better of a job than Jamie Foxx did with Ray Charles. again ... he did a great job as a musician impersonating Ray Charles, but impersonating is not acting.

come on fam, he impersonated ray charles better than anybody imagined and he acted his ass off in that movie. give jamie his credit, he's a legit actor.
a nomination for Collateral was pure bs. he did NOTHING special in that movie, absolutely NOTHING! I thought he was really good in Ali, pretty decent in The Soloist, but that's about as much as I can tolerate him.
nominating, much less giving an award to Jamie Foxx for any of his films is equivalent to Tyler Perry winning an Oscar for Alex Cross this year.
