Yep. I've read enough Charles Dickens to know that the poorhouse ain't nowhere that you want to be, that's for sure. Love that guy, wrote the most amazing characters I've ever encountered. Gave me a new respect for the time I live in, the less fortunate around me and made me quite fascinated with England too, might I add.

Dickens was incredible, Dickens was the first punk, Dickens was the man turn his eye towards the working classes and he did a helluva lot to highlight the plight of poor people in England, it's a section of society that literature tended to ignore and Dickens just wheeled it all out in it's dark gritty glory, Dickens was reality.

'But not pap' is not a phrase one expects to hear from a Nicholas Sparks devotee... <_<

Films that qualify as 'intelligent and substantial' from the last 12 months or so - Alps, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Elena, Holy Motors, Shame, Melancholia, Margin Call, A Separation, We Need to TalkAbout Kevin, Take Shelter, Young Adult, The Interrupters. Moonrise Kingdom is charming, if not substantial. Hugo is a magnificent childrens film...about the importance of film preservation, which makes it deeply substantial. :lol:

RPats got his ideas from Dean and Brando.

I might've liked him if he'd've gone that a little well, there's no great shame in that, a lot of great actors began with their ideas from Dean and Brando but with this nobber i don't even reckon there's even that much going on upstairs.

:lol: This. I'm a chick and I don't even think he's that good looking. I really can't figure it out.

Dean took his ideas from Brando but he still made it his his own. Nearly every inspiring actor after Streetcar wanted to be Brando. As awesome as it was, but like the Olivier style before him, the Brando thing is getting old. It got old when De Niro, Pacino, Hoffman and Nicholson took over. Copy those guys. Even Brando knew it was old when he did The Godfather which was his greatest performance.

Newman, McQueen etc you could throw in there too.

To be a great actor you need to inflict a certain degree of emotional turmoil upon yourself, to hone your ability to access a wide range of emotions and more specifically to tap into certain past traumas, to allow yourself emotionally to go to those places...and do with a regularity to where you can do it almost at will, it has a hell of an effect on a person and a lot of obssessing about oneself and a degree of psychological pain. It's difficult to allow yourself to be broken and wounded, it's unnatural. Most people can't even approach access to those emotions.

Is all that really worth it when you can just copy Marlon?

Thanks for that Angelica! The only one of these films I have heard of is Hugo. This is a good sign as I believe that most shit films are the ones that get promoted the most. Will be sure to check them out. :)

i don't think RPat is that good looking. i just preferred him over Taylor Lautner in the Twilight movies. after that i totally lost interest. now if they'd had Eddie Spears play Jacob that would be a different story ;)
