imagine if you had what I have, a BFA that no employer even understands what it means!
Bachelors of Fine Arts. I have been asked "what did you study?" and I say "Painting." and I have made many employers ask, "like, house painting?" fucking hell.

I got a double BS: math & geology. Both insanely complicated & fascinating. Probably spent 4 hours a night at the books...

For the Kill List fans, be sure to watch Down Terrace (!!!), A Field in England (!!), Sightseers(!). I wasn't so fond of High Rise, I think they threw a bunch of money at Wheatley and he kind of lost his way on that one. I have Free Fire sitting here, but am a bit afraid to watch it based on mediocre reviews, "Ben, what's happening??!?"
Watched Cillian Murphy in Peacock, interesting movie, he's got some real skills, and Sarandon/E Page just about always good. Had a bit of a Psycho vibe going in it, kind of a surprise. Nice soundtrack, odd tubular bells and other percussion, pretty tasty stuff and added to the atmospherics. Cillian is TINY, quell suprise. Maybe 5'2" and 110? Who'd have guessed that? |

He looks like a tiny dude to me. I didn't think he's probably 5'2, because that's just... wow... not do I think he's 110. Maybe more like 5'6", 130. Which is still really fucking small. That's about 4 inches shorter and 15-20 lbs lighter than I am, and I'm totally the "little guy" of every group I've ever been a part of. Abyway, you didn't like High Rise? That's on my watch list. Keep meaning to get to it, based on the recommendation of someone here actually. |

nope, watch Down Terrace first, next watch High Rise. Will be a good contrast, IMO. He's lost his way in the field of cash sent his way, I guess, he also might be relying to much on the wife for writing? Hard to say, but definitely inferior product to me... Field in England is a great mindfuck in the same genre as Kill List. |

I really hate that movie too. It smeared its crap all over virtually every facet of modern culture for a while. And it wasn't good, and it bested Pulp fucking Fiction at the Oscars for Christ's sake. Pulp Fiction! I did like the Curious Case of Benjamin Button though. At least, as a big Hollywood hullabaloo. It was like the Forrest Gump fairy tale with a more interesting premise and it was also more believable and based on better source material. Oh, and better acted. |

the thing in spite of his horrible mainstream roles tom hanks is actually a decent actor (see him in ryan's privates for example, where he's great) but i just couldn't stop seeing his dreadful character in everything he did after gump. eventually it subsided and i could see him again. and cloud atlas is pretty cool actually.
never seen benjamin button. what genre of film is it? |

![]() Step off. Tom Hanks is a great actor. And Tarantino? Pfft, the day that guy does an original shot on film is the day i'll see him as maybe something more than a pop culture director. A director more akin to a teen doing a collage than any director of decent standing.

I'm a Tom Hanks hater, too. The abysmal Bridge of Spies was the last one I tried to watch, got about 15 minutes into it, just awful, awful, awful acting.

Tom Hanks is good at times, bad at times. I love his comedy films a ton. I do not watch his relationship films.
Cast Away was awesome, but I am a huge Robinson Crusoe nut. When I first saw Gump I was impressed with the scope of the story but I found my angle on it to be completely in opposition with everyone else. I saw Forrest Gump as the story of a simpleton with no Ego, who absolutely devastates and ruins the lives of nearly everyone he comes in contact with, in ways he doesn;t even see nor care about, because he is a simpleton. Lt. Dang? crippled Bubba Shrimp? dead His mom? endless suffering due to Gump and then death. his special lady-friend? abusive relationship after abusive relationship followed by death by AIDS John Lennon? assassinated Kennedy? assassinated Nixon? resigns in disgrace Elvis? dies fat in disgrace from drug OD ![]()

Tom Hanks is OK, he just got massively overexposed in the 90s, making it easy for people to get sick of him.
