I am here for Mr. Dafoe…in ANY AND EVERYTHANG!!!!!!!!!!
YES
Definitely going to see it.
Janet’s life is going to be an epic bio-pic some day. Maybe a whole mini-series. At least she had enormous wealth to cushion her, unlike some of Moonves’ other victims.
Thank you for posting the plaid shirt link, I had no idea what people were talking about until now. Hilarious!
Completely p!sses me off that Moonves is “negotiating” a $100M exit package. What are his victims getting?
Sure!
Love Willem Dafoe, but Van Gogh died when he was 37 years old and Dafoe is 63, so the authenticity factor is stretched.
I mean…during that day and age and his mental state, I wouldn’t be surprised if he looked older than 37.
Still seeing this movie authenticity be damned!
I came here to say the same thing. I really like Willem Dafoe and even given how weathered Van Gough would probably have looked at the time of his death, it’s a miscasting for me.
I wish the media would interview Plaid Shirt Guy and also look into the paid seat-fillers thing for Trump’s rallies. How many are paid? What are they told to do? Who is paying them?
I remember when Trump made his infamous remark about the “Second Amendment people” taking care of Hillary Clinton and any of her SCOTUS picks (the one where the Secret Service had to have a few chats with his team). There was an older guy in the group behind the podium whose reaction was priceless. He obviously caught the assassination vibe right away and couldn’t believe Trump said it.
Another time there was a Blacks for Trump sign in the midst of the behind-the-podium crowd – held up cheerfully by a very white middle-aged woman…
It was funny to see the unattractive or un-bubbly replaced behind the orange one. But, also weird and off. One couple looked like real supporters who were replaced by two blondes. I wonder how they felt?
I’ll definitely see Dafoe in that role! Last year I saw the most gorgeous Van Gogh film–it was unlike any movie I’ve ever seen. Called ~Loving Vincent~ and it was handpainted animation that was made to look like continuously forming and reforming Van Gogh paintings. I don’t even know how to describe it, but if you have the chance to see it you should! It explores the death of the artist and asks questions about the conventional story of how that happened. Seriously the most visually exciting film I’ve seen in a long time.
I really enjoyed Loving Vincent, which was Oscar Nominated for Best Animated Feature. It was so beautiful, delightful and a very creative production, the first of its kind.
That was a stunning movie, I highly recommend it too. I saw it in the theater, it was so beautiful.
I saw it and, yes, it was great.
He’s a pretty phenomenal actor so perhaps. The subject matter doesn’t really appeal to me but if it’s likely Oscar bait, I’ll watch since I try to watch as many as I can.
I loved the write up on Steve Zahn. I have always enjoyed him on screen and have always thought him to be an incredibly underrated actor.
Yeah, Steve Zahn never disappoints.
I am more excited for this movie then I have been excited for any movie in a long, long time. This looks absolutely amazing.
Dafoe is always interesting.
Wow! I can’t wait!
The over-acting will be amazing
Young Burt looked just like young Marlon Brando. And he had the same kind of presence, where you can’t look away when he’s on camera. He could have done much more, had he been more disciplined and taken complex roles. He said as much in his autobiography.
He especially looked like Brando when he was on Gunsmoke. They could easily have played brothers.
Yes. One of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received was a coffee table book on VanGogh. He fascinated me during undergrad studies. Love DaFoe
Van Gogh was insane; DaFoe is creepy – I’ll pass.
Of course you have every right to pass on the movie, but to dismiss Van Gogh as insane? A towering genius in the art world, and one of the most beloved artists of all time? Van Gogh suffered from bipolar disorder. What does THAT have to do with the value of this man’s life and work?
Mac Miller has passed away at 26, and people are blaming Ariana Grande because of their breakup. Smh, I feel so bad for her. He apparently overdosed. Sad story all around. 🙁
Yeah just read about it on TMZ…so very sad. People are really heartless. How is it Ariana’s fault? My God. RIP Mac.
Wow. Well she made a pretty big show of rubbing her new relationship in his face. But his substance problem predated their relationship. Conclusion? There was more than one contributing factor.
The news about Mac Miller’s death and people blaming Ariana?
I think they are blaming her because she was engaged a month after they broke obviously his addiction wasn’t her fault but he was vulnerable and her flaunting her new realaship so soon must have been difficult
I understand but it’s still unfair to her. Who knows why they broke up?
Maybe she wasn’t finding fulfilment being with him, and she found what she needed with Davison. Is she supposed to hide her happiness? Ariana and Pete are both OTT so they seem to fit well. I don’t think she was rubbing it in his face.
Ooh! The trailer gave me the chills- I am all for it- and the added bonus of Mads Mikkelsen!!!
Dafoe and Mads oh yessss……………..
Yesyesyes.
Nope. Defoe can be an interesting actor but Van Gogh was half his age when he died. Miscasting.
Vincent (we’re on first name terms!) was only 37 years old when he died. I think we will need to suspend disbelief a bit OR the production will have to use some decent form of photo-shop to make Mr. Dafoe look closer to his age. Other than that, I have no problem with him playing my beloved, tortured Vincent. He’s a wonderful actor and really can bring the drama.
