also four acting presidents but two of them were the same guy, forgot that

Huh. That's not a name that has really crossed the ocean, or at least I haven't heard it. Sucks how unsurprised I was when I put it into a search engine.

Haha, I'm a fan of yours, this was a great surprise, thanks :)

King, Malcolm, Kennedy, Kennedy again, who am I missing?

That guy who made The Lobster is gonna be the new GdT, this won't even end when he retires, his replacement waits in the wings.

Toro's entire career is being seen as difficult while being sellable to a wide audience. For people without the energy/time/desire to go looking for different films, Toro is, or was for a short time, the most interesting thing they'd be served. Both get something from the fantasy, so it endures.

Thanks for putting the visuals and character thing into words. I didn't know why I saw a billboard for GdT's Frankenstein and immediately said "well, I can live without ever seeing that", but you said it right. He really is just horror Baz Luhrman.

It's a fucking snobby explanation, but it's fucking true.

Pan's Labyrinth was unusually prominent for a non Anglophone film with unusual visuals and a historical setting outside of the three historical settings Hollywood likes. Therefore, it is the most challenging film people who don't think about cinema a lot have seen. Therefore, he must be genius.
