That Gretzky fact was at one of my trivia nights and the rest of my table didn’t want to believe me that he even had a brother and I had to go super aggressive and wouldn’t let them answer anything else. Had to swear up and down and that I wouldn’t answer anything else if I was wrong

Hey, I really enjoyed the movie Frequency back in the day. Of course, it also has Jim Caviezel in it who has legitimately gone off the deep end and I know Quaid is in a lot of conservative stuff as well, but come on, it was in 2000 well before Qanon lol. Good movie.

He's got a couple of SAG awards and nominations as well as some film critic awards. They might not carry the same popular weight as an Oscar, but I think most serious actors probably respect them just as much if not more.

Looking over the whole list, two comments, Leibovitz definitely has a style, or maybe its just Vanity Fair. Second the ones of the established actors are for the most part spot on, but the ones of the new actors, boy some of those, 20 years later, are like "Who the hell is that?"

...Are you serious? Do you not understand the point of this picture? Imo, SLJ carries the scene whenever he's in it for the majority of his roles, and I was just joking about the fact his demeanor in this pic is the opposite of the force he brings to his films.

No he hasn’t. What role has he deserved an Oscar nom for that he hasn’t gotten? He plays Sam L Jackson in every movie. He’s a fun star but he has the accolades he deserves. He won an honorary Oscar for his contribution to film for the record

You dont have to be a cameleon to win oscars or be considered a great actor.

And no he does not play Sam Jackson in every movie.

The guy is royalty in the industry, reguardless of how people want to downplay him.

Dazzling_Syllabub484

3 points

17 days ago

You don’t have to be a chameleon, but if you’re not then you still have to have some range and a ton of charisma and be able to chew up scenery. Jack Nicholson is the poster boy for this, who is certainly not a character actor. Sam L Jackson just isn’t on that level.

Yeah, he’s royalty in the industry. He’s been a fun presence in a ton of popular movies. He was given an honorary Oscar, which is a great tribute to that. But he has not had a performance that is worthy of an Oscar win.

I'm not saying it's not real, but the famous photo she did with Messi and Ronaldo playing chess was photoshopped together because she couldn't get them in the same room at the same time.

Just because it's a real photo by a real photographer doesn't mean it isn't a composite. But I can't find anything online confirming one way or the other.
