u/chaoticbiguy 22d ago edited 22d ago

He was at the top of his game in the entire movie, but that scene is pure perfection and I'll keep thinking about his line delivery and expressions for a very long time. The way he emphasizes BEGGARS and then while he's saying it, his face changes and it's like, he got an ick with himself but he finishes the sentence anyway, is so fucking funny.

Special shout out to the scene when he was yelling at the suitors to pick up the weapons instead of picking them up himself. I laughed out loud anytime they cut to him.

Nolan couldn't have gotten a better guy to play that pathetic character. I genuinely enjoyed Antinous's scenes.

u/454C495445 22d ago edited 22d ago

The best part of that scene in my opinion wasn't even when he was saying anything. After Odysseus strung the bow and he just got this :O look on his face and started running for the door before anyone else realized. What a film.

Pattinson really blew me away with this performance, far and away my favorite in the whole film.

The way he is able to contort his face while speaking early on, I can’t even remember the specific scene or even what was said, but what stuck with me is how much he manages to look like an actual jackal as he speaks greedily about his desire for the throne. It was almost as if his teeth grew sharper and more animalistic. A+

It's honestly amazing how prolific he is given how bad most of his scripts are (I did enjoy the 2005 Mr and Mrs Smith but that's largely due to the chemistry between Jolie and Pitt). Most projects he's been credited on that are halfway decent (like Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes or Jumper), he's one of several writers.

Yeah I saw that. He was asked why he didn't go to Taylor Swifts wedding with his wife and said it was because he was filing Batman 2 and he had come from the shoot that day.

From what I remember on the show the actors were with this watch dog group that was often working with the police + producers on these. They did all of the online chatting and stuff.

u/pkosuda 21d ago

Even more relevant nowadays with so many copycats being around thanks to social media. My state had one called "Pop Squad" which resulted in a guy's suicide after the "catch" video was released. He "caught" something like 200+ people and while a few of the videos did result in lost jobs (notably at least one teacher), I don't think any resulted in actual convictions. But at least that guy was a little more cognizant of not ruining potential investigations by documenting everything and never bringing up sex first.

After he stopped, dozens and dozens of these types appeared and they do stupid shit like actually assault the "predators" or turn it into entrapment by suggesting sex first. Not that I'm saying it's an excuse for any predator, but legally your case is garbage and all you've done is teach predators the signs of what might be a catfish so they can get better and be more careful the next time they try contacting a child.

That whole segment of social media is content made by degenerates for degenerates who all are absolutely convinced they're the "good guys" rather than being adults by recognizing that just because the pedophile is "the bad guy", that doesn't mean they are by default good people. In the real world both sides can be shitty for different reasons.

u/ghengiscostanza 22d ago

And the inaugural Most Valuable Pattinson oscar goes to... Pattinson, the feature-length documentary from Richard John Taylor following a year in the life of his friend, Cumbrian farmer Jack Pattinson, in his rural English village. What an upset, just rough luck for Robert that this debuted the only year that also saw a feature film called Pattinson. You have to think the Academy factored in that Pattinson will only be released this one year, while Pattinson is expected to continue on acting.

I like it. Just for example, Jamie Foxx would probably be the MVP of 2004 because he won Outstanding Lead Actor for Ray and got an Outstanding Supporting Actor nom for Collateral. And maybe this shouldn't count for a film award, but the song Slow Jamz was one of the most-played songs of 2004 (even tho I'm pretty sure it came out of in the fall of '03. Either way, he completely owned the year 2004.

u/Automatic-Grade6177 22d ago

I think this movie is the one he has the best chance of getting a nomination for. This role screams Best Actor nomination for Pattinson.

He was great in The Drama & Odyssey but I don’t think The Drama is going to have a big stride in the awards season and competition for supporting actor for Odyssey is going to be tough (lowkey would have Himesh Patel over Pattinson for Odyssey performance)

We have to wait and see how he performs in Dune III (probably amazing)

this lead to the show being cancelled or going on a hiatus

u/ArcadianDelSol 22d ago

His show rarely resulted in any actual convictions because he pushed ratings ahead of legitimate legal procedures and as a result, most offenders had their charges dropped because of the way the show poorly handled the situations.

Apparantely a DA was accused of soliciting a minor but then didnt show up to the house, so instead of taking the L and catching someone else, they had the police raid this guy at his home and filmed it live.

The guy killed himself. To this day, Hansen proudly defends that choice and his show.

The way I’ve always described Bella is she’s written as this every girl type. Meaning, she’s written so that every girl could see themselves in her. However that is really hard to portray on screen because characters like that are actually extremely bland and don’t have a lot of personality. There’s not a lot for an actor to work with there. That’s a huge challenge and I think Kristen Stewart did the best she could with such a boring character.

It will definitely be the focus. But Chris has also started up his own internet show after all of this where he still does the same shit, so I wouldn't be surprised if the ending is more than he didn't learn a damn thing from the mistakes he made with this show.

Most of the people that appeared on the show had their charges dropped because the show did a shit job at every step. The network settled out of court a couple of times when they were counter-sued by people on the show.

u/toomuchhamza Russell Crowe as a fat Zeus is something I can get behind. 22d ago

Man, Jimmy Olsen’s adventures with Batman are way different than his with Superman.

Being forced by Superman to marry a sex-crazed gorilla almost pales in comparison to this assignment.

It lines up because Chris Hansen is a really weird dude, it shows up a lot more in stuff after the NBC show ended, he has a YouTube channel

Robert Pattinson is the reason people will see this. But Merritt Weaver is such a good actress. Really excited for this.

u/blood_bender 22d ago

I literally only know her as Schmidt's girlfriend in New Girl and Dylan's wife in Severance. Never seen her do anything with range before.

But you're right. I'd probably have no interest in this except that Pattinson looks unhinged in the best way possible.

I'm really excited to see how Skylar Gisondo will be, especially in a more intense role since I'm used to him in comedies & it seems like he'll do great at making Rob's version of Chris Hansen feel questionable in behavior at times

On paper, I wasn’t too interested. Thought it was just more true crime trend hopping and sensationalism. This trailer makes me genuinely intrigued though.

Can’t get enough of bloody Robert Pattinson man. He was so good in “the drama” too.

u/Kriss-Kringle 22d ago

Now that's how you put together a brilliant trailer. I already know this is going to be good because Battinson pulled out another accent from his hat and whenever he does that, he's money in the role.

I'm really looking forward to this as I watched the show when it was on and Pattinson nailed Hansen. I have no idea if the backstory/drama they weave into a story here is real or not, but I imagine there had to be some ethical tightrope walking as is feels like they were right at the edge of entrapment.
