    Also, great at tearing up the dance floor with woman shaped dolls.

    (That’s right, “Barbie” is actually a spiritual successor to “Ex Machina”)

      That’s what I like about an actor. Kenneth Braghna is the same way. That’s also why I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise… it’s always “Tom Cruise, as Tom Cruise, in….”

        This was very common in old-school Hollywood. It’s why we have the term Movie Stars. People would go out of their way to watch an Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cary Grant, whoever movie, when the people who were really good character actors slipped in the background just making movies better.

        Tom Cruise is an odd one for me. The idea I have of Tom Cruise is that he always plays the same character, is just a generic action star, etc. And then whenever I actually watch Tom Cruise in a film, I’m always really impressed by just how good an actor he is. But I still can’t shake the idea I have of Tom Cruise.

        I have a similar issue with Brad Pitt, where my idea of him is that he’s just a generic leading man, despite him almost always putting in a really strong, nuanced and varied performance.

      Yup I agree, and usually don’t start looking up actors till a bit of a slow point in a movie (or later if it’s really engaging and only outside of theatre of course), every time I see it’s him I’m surprised cause I sort of enjoy recognizing actors. I’m sure there’s more similarities than I recognize for many actors but playing Poe, to Duke Atredies to billionaire ‘genius’ so well has made him unrecognizable at first, and sometimes I wouldn’t realize even cause I suck at seeing though beards for visual recognition.

    He needs to get in James Gunn’s good books and break out from under Disney’s control as he’s pretty much appeared in something from all their subdivisions (Lucasfilm, Sony, Marvel and Fox).

    Not sure who he’d play in the Gunniverse - Hector Hammond in Green Lantern?

      The casting I didn’t know I needed until I read it.

          The Great Houses in the Dune universe rule fiefdoms as bestowed by the Emperor (and their ancestral planets, generally). So, they are feudal lords but they also exercise near total authority on their worlds. House Corrino has a semi-checked (by the Lansraad and somewhat by CHOAM and the Spacing Guild) authority over everything in known space, but rarely exerts it directly so the leaders of the Great Houses effectuate complete control over their planets and the populaces of them.

    I’d love to see him in Star Trek
