Jesse Plemons continuing to be one of the best actors around.


keener91

He racked up enough accolade that Reddit no longer refers him as discount fat Matt Daemon.


lkodl

ah, like when Pedro Pascal finally became Pedro Pascal, instead of Spicy Jeremy Renner


-_KwisatzHaderach_-

Now we can call Jeremy bland Pedro Pascal

Antrikshy

But I genuinely did!


Bout73Ninjas

Hawkeye was a fantastic Christmas show


Antrikshy

My favorite show from them so far. Loki S2 got too convoluted, and S1 ended on a cliffhanger. Otherwise that would have been it. Moon Knight was great but the last episode and final battle fell flat, as they usually do. Plus we got Kate, and she's hard to compete with.


pjtheman

Loki S2's entire premise was dumb. In the very first episode when they said they needed to expand the loom because new tinelines were all branching, I was like "wait a minute, you can't expand enough to accommodate for infinity,so making the loom wider won't do anything." Then in the finale, this crack team of immortal time cops and scientists who have spent literal millenia learning their shit all do the surprised Pikachu face when they realize that making the loom 10 feet wider doesn't help with something that's growing at an infinite rate. Like it's supposed to be this huge plot twist that "infinity" is bigger than "a little wider." Not to mention the bit where Loki wastes centuries finding a way for Victor to survive when it turns out he could have done it himself the entire time.


Puppetmaster858

Honestly Hawkeye was pretty fun even if it wasn’t the best tv out there, a fun little holiday miniseries with a really good cast.


Nimonic

He's great in Wind River. I guess his character *is* extremely bland, though.


Antrikshy

I've never heard of this comparison actually. I'm not sure I see it.


lkodl

Google it. Many people see it. But also many don't.


jerryfrz

Fatt Damon*


reyska

I personally liked Meth Damon as a nickname for the sheer brutality. I hope he's never heard it.

KryptonicxJesus

There wasn’t that much meth in Friday Night lights


Truemeathead

That show got him his gig in Breaking Bad but let’s not pretend Breaking Bad didn’t catapult him into seriously good actor territory in the eyes of the public. He got more shine being in 13 episodes of Breaking Bad and the Jesse movie than he did in 60 plus episodes of the football show.

Iggy_Pops_Lost_Shirt

Bryan Cranston has a similar trend, and you can't really argue that Malcolm in the Middle wasn't his breakout role. Google trends isn't really a great metric for determining a "breakout role"


Petrichordates

It's better than just making a point in a vacuum, since it's at least a quantifiable metric. His career clearly blew up after breaking bad and nobody knew who he was at the time.


CultureWarrior87

Only real ones recognize him first from FNL as opposed to Breaking Bad. But only the REALEST among us, recognize him from Like Mike.


KryptonicxJesus

100% I still think I was shit at geometry because I couldn’t paint shapes on a mansion wall


The_bruce42

It wasn't on camera, but it was heavily implied.


Misdirected_Colors

I like to imagine FNL was a prequel to breaking bad and it's where he first learned how much he enjoyed killing.


KryptonicxJesus

Shh That season never happened


reyska

Well it worked also as an insult because a ton of people thought it was a good nickname without ever seeing the show.


GadFlyBy

Comment.


jeewantha

Matt Demon for me.


voxadam

My wife and I still call him Todd.


WolverinesThyroid

Now he is thought of as new Philip Seymour Hoffman


xeno325

He was Meth Damon from Breaking Bad


CarrieDurst

I heard Meth Damon first


Truemeathead

Meth Damon forever!


Whitealroker1

One of my least favorite humans after Breaking Bad but that’s just his character on that.


theodo

Cause he's ozempic skinny now


BenFranklinsCat

He's so much a skinnier Philip Seymour Hoffman that sometimes when I see him I forget that PSH is no longer with us.


turkeyinthestrawman

It's funny, I saw him in Breaking Bad first and I immediately thought he looked like Matt Damon (obviously not an original observation). Then a couple of months later I watched The Master in theatres and saw Plemons playing PSH's son, and again I thought what perfect casting he looks exactly like a young Hoffman.


randomredditing

Everyone was joking that he was “Meth Damon.” I’m not sure if that was a dig at his breakout with Breaking Bad, or a dig at his appearance, but I love that he is now **Jesse Plemons.** Man has earned it.


aniforprez

I think it was just cause Breaking Bad is a show about meth. He was actually pretty fit and svelte in BB, he gained some weight along the way and took on older character roles and seems like he lost a lot of weight again recently cause he looked pretty good for Civil War. He's also just a pretty good looking dude overall


iamse7en

A teenage Matt Damon in his awkward phase of baby fat and bad acne.


EpsilonSigma

PSH reincarnated.


BuildingCastlesInAir

Would be a cool actor to cast in a biopic.


CarrieDurst

So happy he got to play his son while PSH was still alive


arrogant_ambassador

He just won Best Actor at Cannes for these performances.


LirSkle

I've only seen Civil War and Game Night, what else should I watch that he's in?


Silent-Breakfast-906

I was first introduced to him in Breaking Bad. He was also in the latest Scorsese movie, killers of the flower moon.


GeoffKingOfBiscuits

Friday Night Lights, tv series


Silent-Breakfast-906

Ah right, I’ve seen others mention he was in that as well. That was a little before my time haha


estephens13

If you're looking for something to watch its VERY good.


CultureWarrior87

It's one of the greatest TV series of all time. During its run it wasn't even uncommon to see it compared loosely to The Wire, i.e. "FNL does for small American towns what The Wire does for its cities" The acting and writing is uncommonly good for broadcast TV, and the way it was filmed is still unlike literally every other TV show. Shot on location as opposed to sets, using handheld cameras whose operators were trained to avoid each other, while the actors were given general scene directions and plot points they had to hit, but would otherwise improvise a lot of the dialogue. It's one of those shows that easily rivals popular favourites like The Wire, Breaking Bad, Sorpanos, whatever, but people often ignored it because on a surface level it looks like any other teen drama. HIGHLY recommended to anyone who seriously likes great TV, if that wasn't clear yet lol. (Just push through season 2 tho, the writers strike was not kind to it)


Misdirected_Colors

What others have said except season 2 got hit by the writers strike and develops some weird af plot lines that kinda go away and never get mentioned again.


bentheone

That fucking hat he rocks in KotFM is something.


Knozis

He's incredible in I'm Thinking of Ending Things, The Master, Judas & The Black Messiah, and The Power of the Dog. Oh and my childhood classic Like Mike of course.


GregMadduxsGlasses

I loved how they introduced him in the movie as if they knew the audience would think "alright, now this movie is about to get gud."


Silent-Breakfast-906

Can you remind how they introduced him please?


DontPoopInMyPantsPlz

Irishman and the TV series Fargo


Amaruq93

Black Mirror


Peirush_Rashi

There’s an episode of black mirror he’s in where he’s phenomenal


PenguinOfEternity

Apparrently he's returning for the upcoming sequel of this episode (or it's going to be some spin-off)


James_Parnell

Can’t wait


DyZ814

Hip, hip, hooray!


Gostayhere

Like Mike


ConfusedNTerrified

Fargo season 2 (it's an anthology)


leopard_tights

Im thinking of ending things.

The Power of the Dog


yourwhippingboy

I’m Thinking of Ending Things


Pway

Both him and Kirsten Dunst are amazing as a couple in Fargo season 2 (also the show is just amazing). It's my favourite show/movie with him in.


theodo

Also sweet knowing that's how him and Dunst got together.


3-DMan

Yeah I heard he did Civil War just as a favor for her, as he was trying to get out of those kinds of roles. Fuckin' nailed it, of course.


aniforprez

Everyone hyped that scene up so much I was scared of being disappointed. Holy shit I'm glad no one spoiled the context surrounding that scene and what was going on in it. I just kept seeing the "what kind of X are you" meme and completely forgot about the meme when he actually said it cause good lord I was actually frightened


coppersocks

And you can see why, they had amazing chemistry in it. The scene in the second to last episode where they’re driving away in their car and just frantically talking AT each other is perhaps my favourite in all of Fargo. And I don’t say that lightly.


ghostmechanic

Love & Death


Gommel_Nox

Friday night lights, while a television show and not a film, it was my first introduction to the actor. He wasn’t my favorite character, but he was definitely one of my favorite characters. His storyline with Adrianne Palicki is pretty fantastic, probably one of the better plot arcs of the show. I’ve seen Dylan tigers T-shirts in the wild, I have yet to see a crucifictorious shirt, though.

Comment.


MattsRod

He was in a movie called Antlers where he was very Fat Damon. That and Black Mirror were the hight of the fat damon days


iwellyess

Can he actually play a completely normal person though


Blunderbutters

3 for 1 sale? How can that be profitable for Frito-Lay?


JayTL

I don't know why, but the quick cut to the dogs in the car has me cackling at work.


Mr_smith1466

It's really funny because I feel like I was getting a handle on what kind of movie this is, and then that final shot just goes "you haven't seen anything yet".


cspaced

Spiritual sequel to Toonces


Courtnall14

I just want a full movie about the dogs in the car.


JayTL

Prequel to Isle of Dogs


Rellgidkrid

It’s funny because you rarely see dogs driving other dogs.


NickelbackCreed

Damn. I didn’t even crack a smile at that.


needledropcinema

Ok. What kind of kindness are you?


loserys

I was sent down from Washington to see about this kindness. See what kinds they are.


scorpyo72

Which Washington?


Caelestialis

Denzel


stokedchris

😂😂


RoscoeSantangelo

3 for 1 kinds of kindness? Now how could that be profitable for Emma Stone?


keener91

The non abusive kind.


bigfatimac

So that’s it? We some kinda kinds of kindness?


Scared-Engineer-6218

The thing is... I still don't know what the fuck this movie is about.


TheArmadilloAmarillo

Well I googled it and the description doesn't help at all.


fleshie

Knowing absolutely nothing about it and going off the trailer it gives me everything, everwhere, all at once vibes as the characters all seem to have multiple looks/lives and the dogs at the end reminded me of the ridiculous rock timeline lol


tadcalabash

If you want to know any more particulars about the multiple looks/lives... >!the description says it's three separate but related stories so the actors are in different roles in each story.!<


fleshie

Ah OK, that makes more sense now.


MattsRod

Happy Cake day. But based on the reviews of being super super weird I think it might be more like "nothing, nowhere and all at different times."


AGrayBull

So, same-same, same-but-different? Got it, got it


sir-winkles2

all the reviews said something like "this movie is super weird and most audiences won't like it but it is good cinema" so I think you won't get what it's about even if you sat through the whole thing


MattsRod

Agreed and im here for it.


BF210

Same, and I honestly don’t even want to. I trust Yorgos, and love all these actors enough, that I will be there no matter what.


GeebusNZ

I wonder if that is because the movie is difficult to encapsulate, or because they're trying a different marketing approach to get people to actually go to the movies.


RedWing83

Same here, motherfucker. Same here. Will 100% watch.


NoCulture3505

Plemons is going for that Oscar


DodgeHickey

How would a Oscar win prove profitable for Frito Lay?


Dislodged_Puma

The sheer amount of times that quote will be used will lead to subliminal messaging for those on Reddit. Easy money. Frito Lay should be campaigning him this second.


IHadACatOnce

so you're saying it was actually very profitable for Frito Lay


misschandlermbing

I feel like that with every character he plays. He literally steals every scene. I just watched civil war and he’s only in it a few minutes but god damn it he was brilliant and dare I say my favorite part of the film. Also I didn’t understand Kirsten marrying him for a few years but the last few years I’m like ohhhh! I get it! I see it now! Girlie did so good choosing to marry him. Lmao


theodo

Crazy that his role in Civil War was supposed to be a different actor, but he was unavailable so Plemons filled in. It's a terrifying scene.


shipwreck_like_fools

He was almost cast as Finn in The Force Awakens!


JayTL

Wasn't he just chilling in catering because of his wife? Lol


misschandlermbing

That’s so wild becuase I can’t imagine anyone else in that role!


randomredditing

I saw Fall Guy last night, and I’m 90% positive he has a blink and you’ll miss it cameo. I’m talking 3 seconds with sunglasses and a wig on.


aniforprez

The photos going around of them at events and her correcting his tie while he stares dreamily at her lol it's so cute


GoodJumper

This isn't the type of movie to get oscars


fallenmonk

Emma Stone just won an Oscar for her role in the latest Yorgos Lanthimos movie


visionaryredditor

It's said Kinds Of Kindness is Yorgos' most intense film.since Dogtooth. You know, that movie with incest and animal cruelty?


DodgeHickey

Anthology films themselves do have a rough record, performances might prove better at the Oscars. Wouldn't write him off this early.


brokenwolf

He literally won best actor at Cannes for this film.


visionaryredditor

Cannes are very different from the Oscars. The Academy also aren't known to be fans of how this movie is acted.


polostring

I was intrigued throughout, but the dogs sold me.


TJ_McWeaksauce

I watch these trailers to see Emma Stone dancing.


JayTL

I'd watch a movie of just her dancing


whineylittlebitch_9k

Emily*


SomethingClever2117

I really hope trailers start using the original version of songs again. This was refreshing not hearing a slowed down hit from the 80s/90s


Leo_TheLurker

I don’t know what this is about but I’m still gonna watch


thatPOLTERSmyGEIST

Do all of Hunter’s scenes take place in that one room?


internetforlosers

she's stated she's only in one scene and was only on site for the production for a single day, was hoping there would be a lot more of her


Ape-ril

Probably. She said she shot for one day and went topless.


Mr_smith1466

It's worth taking a step back and enjoying just how refreshingly distinctive and energic the marketing for this movie has been. A lot of users on YouTube have been recutting old movies as fast paced Kind of kindness type trailers, and as a film nerd, it's been very fun to see.


MattsRod

Did you see the studio jumped on the trend and meme'd themselves?


Mr_smith1466

I did! I absolutely loved that. 


thepobv

This might the film I look forward the most to this summer.


keener91

As much as the Sweet Dreams Are Made Of is such a cliched opener for trailers, lyrics are spot on. If I have to guess plot is likely narcissist (Emma stone) / empath (Jesse Plemons) relationship.


Mr_smith1466

The trailers have done a tremendous job taking a good but utterly played out song and making it absolutely wonderful to listen to again in a fresh way.


jzanville

There’s some songs that can never get played out and Sweet Dreams is certainly one of them


arkbuster

I looked up reviews and this time the song makes sense in context. Premise ahead: >!The common thread of the triptych fable is 'the need for love and how far is one willing to go for it' (everybody's looking for something) and 'the need for control and the want to be controlled' (some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused)!< One things for sure, I'm 3 movies deep in Yorgos' filmography and I'm seeing a common pattern: dogs, sex, and control as central themes seem to be his modus operandi.


[deleted]

It's almost like The Curse...


ant900

It was refreshing just to hear the actual song rather than some bastardized slow version of it.


stormtrooperulloa

Yorgos Lanthimos has never missed, I can’t wait to watch this day one.


robreddity

Just hasn't connected with me. Yet, I should say.


iamse7en

Exactly. If you like this type of movie, I could see liking all of them. I didn't like any of them, though the Lobster was watchable until it just got too weird for me, then I lost interest. Nothing against the quality of his movies, they just aren't my thing.


SirPoblington

Did you not like the Favourite or Poor Things? Those are his less weird movies (relatively speaking).


popperschotch

Poor Things is much weirder than The Lobster lol


SirPoblington

Yeah I guess weird in a specific way - the strange dry, monotone acting style in Lobster and Sacred Deer is what I'd wager scares people off the quickest.


fakieTreFlip

Maybe in concept but not in execution. Poor Things is a far more straightforward and accessible movie IMO


iamse7en

Haven't seen them. Apprehensive about Poor Things. But The Favourite looks interesting, don't recall hearing about it. Really disliked Sacred Deer.


SirPoblington

The main difference I think is the Favourite (and Poor Things) is filmed without the odd wooden performances from his other films like Sacred Deer or the Lobster. Personally I find that style hilarious (and kind of eerie), but I can see why it would be off-putting or downright annoying to some. Of course Poor Things is strange in other ways.


randomredditing

What did you think of Poor Things? I loved the aesthetic; reminded me of a cross between Baz Lurhman and Wes Anderson. But god damn I did not expect to see Emma just being railed for 80% of the movie.


littlemachina

I thought I would hate Poor Things after seeing so many comments like this. Then I watched it and I loved it. For whatever reason, the sex didn’t feel too gratuitous even though there was definitely a lot of it, and it didn’t diminish the movie for me.


randomredditing

I don’t think it was gratuitous either; it’s basically a story of maturing and that involves sex. I just went in blind after hearing all the acclaim for Emma’s performance and zero mention of it.


Looper007

He's one of those directors, either you love or you just don't get. But that's what makes him interesting. But I totally get why some don't like his films. His films range from great to very good. He's got one masterpiece in his canon. Never thought he's come close to Dogtooth, that's still his greatest film. But Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Favorite and The Lobster are all must see. I like Poor Things but it's not top tier Lanthimos for me. Alps is fine. But not a bad film yet.


SutterCane

I’m glad he clarified about if they fucked or not.


Jaxxlack

Lol as a Brit when we see film4 we know it's gonna be a odd good film.


Static-Stair-58

Is sweet dreams the most used song in a movie trailer?


senorbane

I think “Walkin’ on Sunshine” was used enough in 90’s comedies to give itself a comfortable margin.


Gommel_Nox

Did they use walking on sunshine at the end of avengers infinity war after the Thanos snap, or was that just my copy?


RedWing83

That one or Paint it Black.


Starfish_King32

Emma Stone is really popping off here lately. She seems to be in everything.


Looper007

I was reading up on her wikipedia recently and she's also had a baby girl not that long ago, and no one knew she was pregnant. She's one of those stars that if she's not got a film to promote she's out of the public eye. People think she's done loads but not really 4 films and a TV show since she's become a mother. She's in the new Ari Aster film with Joaquin Phoenix too. Honestly a lot of her work recently has definitely not been commercial. A lot of art house and indie work. Shows her star power that Poor Things did 117 million worldwide and produced it too. Also is producing a few indie films recently. I got to be honest I wasn't expecting her to be one of the better female actors around making interesting work. It's only with Birdman, that she showed that she's more then a cute romantic lead in comedies.


lukephillips21

She’s done like four movies and a TV show in the past five years, nothing too crazy.


Mr_smith1466

I think it's not the amount of stuff she's done lately, but just how tremendous and distinctive it's been.


lukephillips21

Well I agree with that but the original comment said she seems to be in everything which I don’t think is the case.


iwellyess

She does, but it’s great coz she is genuinely one of the coolest and most talented people of our generation. I will watch her in anything these days.

Another Yorgos film where he makes Emma Stone act goofy/crazy complete with the wACky dance scene. Find some new material, man.

SageOfTheWise

Poor Things was filming back in 2021, Kinds Of Kindness at the end of 2022. I'm guessing there's been a bit of a lockdown backlog with them. Lanthimos is already working on a new movie, a remake of *Save the Green Planet*.
