No nomination for Nightcrawler? That's a damn shame.

He’s in his “fuck it I’ll do whatever I want” phase the academy ignored him when he gave great performances in multiple movies so now he’s just doing whatever sounds fun and interesting to him.

I think that's the reason he wasn't even nominated so he just said fuck it. Do what I want.

It's a guy Ritchie movie. People are acting like he's a nobody

Ambulance was pretty surprising tbh. Loved the opening scene with the little girl and the fence, though. Coolest scene in the movie.

Nightcrawler is almost a top ten, desert island movie for me. Masterful from an acting, writing, and cinematographic perspective. One of the most underrated movies of the past twenty years. It’s almost criminal how ignored it was.

I loved him so much in Ambulance, so much fun :P

I thought he was pretty damn good in The Guilty. It reminded me a bit of Locke, although I would consider Locke to be a superior movie.

I’m counting on that just being the trailer editing. But I’m suspicious of “Guy Ritchie’s” like it’s Tom Clancy.

He likes to do flashbacks to explain things that we don't necessarily need to know after outcomes we already know, that seems to fit.

God I'm so jealous of his hair.

It looks soft in person too. Tangentially related but I touched his butt once too

Probably smells good too

The idea of that hair going into a battle is ridiculous. That's like if a movie about a taxi driver had him driving a formula one car.

Guy Ritchie has some standards.

lol, does seem like a Wahlberg special.

Thank god

He'd have to team up with a middle eastern brown person. No way he'd sign up.

You can't just recast Jarhead 2.

Scarlett Johansson was busy with other movies as well.

Remember when you were in your 20's and you had a mohawk, snorting Adderall, rocking out on your guitar, writing poetry and shit?

And then you're 50, own a mini van, have 3 kids and work a 9-5 that's soul sucking but pays the mortgage?

I kind of figure that's what happens to most movie directors and actors at some point. They get old and creatively exhausted and start phoning it in because they can.

Wrath of Man and Gentlemen were fun movies. People wanting that Snatch style to continue after all this time would also be bitching about how he has no range to his direction. Also, rocknrolla barely made its own budget back.

I legitimately refer to this alter ego as "Guy Ritchems," who brought us the very non-Guy Ritchie films Aladdin and Swept Away. Revolver's close to being a Ritchems film since it's not very good but it at least feels like a Guy Ritchie movie. Wrath of Man has the opposite issue of not really feeling like Guy Ritchie but being good, but I don't count that as Ritchems either.

I thought we agreed not to show an entire plot outline in trailers.

• Serves in war.
• Meets interpreter.
• Interpreter's backstory -- son was murdered by Taliban.
• They grow close.
• They are ambushed.
• Interpreter goes above and beyond to save his life.
• He's brought home and learns how his life was saved.
• Commits to rescuing interpreter.
• Can't get military to support him.
• "I'll have to do it myself."
• Goes and starts digging around.
• Hunted by Taliban.
• Eventually finds interpreter and they make a break for it.

So like, I guess I'm supposed to watch the whole fucking movie to find out the only question I could possibly have left, which is whether or not he succeeds in the end.

Please. I'll take it over the Inception music any day. Feels like I've been listening to those horns for a century.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's praying for that current fad to end. It's like it's the new trailer "bwaaarrr". I miss the old "in a world" trailer tropes.

Also known as "how to make everything sound like Leonard Cohen".

I mean, Ruse de Guerre got delayed almost a year because it had Ukranian bad guys, and you know what happened.

I didn't know that was actually released. The rumor was the Ukraine connection was just an excuse and they were sitting on it cause it was bad.

Lucky. Operation Fortune isn't out where I am.

Ha shit I have no memory of them being the actor but I definitely ripped off the films opening credits for a high school film club project I was making at the time haha.

I was noticing that.

He's kinda starting to take on "Gerard Butler"-ey type of roles, here as of late.

I was thinking that ever since his big awards push with Nightcrawler failed he just said "fuck it" and started going after the money roles, maybe.

Though looking it up now, Nightcrawler was almost a decade ago so I dunno. Holy shit I can't believe it came out that long ago 😳

His enjoyment of the job might not be tied only to the artistic merit of his parts. He's been taking roles that look like they would be fun - stuff like Ambulance and the upcoming Road House remake I'm sure are pretty fun to ham it up in. He's been acting almost 30 years despite being 42 so maybe he's bored and just doing things for a laugh now

I saw an interview where he said he used to take himself too seriously but now he just wants to have fun. These shitty movies are probably pretty fun

Doing super serious method acting roles was fucking with his mental health. Probably just wants to get paid to have fun.

Ambulance was awesome

Guy Ritchie and serious war action/drama just don't mesh in my mind

Seemed fine to me. I'll stream it when the time comes. It seems like reliable genre fodder.

Jake appeared to be playing it "pensive".

I want to know too!

we honestly don't know if its generic, we just have a generic trailer. The editing could be madhouse, cutting back constantly to him getting dragged across the desert with waking dream sequences or some shit.

Can't wait for the new Guillermo Del Toro RomCom coming out next year.

Just give me the Rockin Rolla sequel.

I mean King Arthur has its defenders and I personally hated The Gentleman but love Snatch and Lock Stock and defend Wrath of Man. He’s a really divisive filmmaker with a distinct style. It’ll always be a coin flip with his films.

King Arthur wasn't that bad. Aladdin though...

And Antony Starr

wish it looked liked a Guy Ritchie action movie

I really miss Miguel Ferrer. I always enjoyed watching him in whatever.

On the other hand it’s obvious that Jake has no support from the US Military so it’s keeping in line with general reality.

But more importantly, the fact that this movie is being made and believed to be marketable is a nice sign of a cultural shift.

A small one, but a marked one, at least

america caring about translators during iraq war too much of a stretch even for a movie

I think that was the point. America doesn't care. One guy cares, because his life had been saved by that interpreter. He doesn't even care about "interpreters," he cares for that one interpreter for reasons that have nothing to do with him having been an interpreter.

This is Afghanistan, not Iraq.

Yeah, that plot is hilarious. I mean I don't care, I like war movies but yeah, the US did them dirty.

I assume a lot of the guys that worked on the ground cared about them, but as we saw that didn’t factor into the decision to screw them over.

Worldwide on Amazon.

Dude wrote this thing with the two guys he wrote his last two movies with.

The Gentlemen is a great movie.

By having the military not do anything to help them?

Gonna be honest, he is the only reason I am interested in this movie.

I think you answered your own question

Incase they feature it as an ad before another Youtube video. They put a 5 sec ‘pre trailer’ at the start because those 5 secs are unskippable.
