It was described to me as, "somehow both Wario AND Waluigi, at the same time."
"Love letter to Italy" is how Jared Leto described his performance as Paolo Gucci
- Thread starter valuv
- Start date
not interested in seeing A Gucci Movie but watching clips of Jared Pedo do his best super mario impression has been entertaining
Maybe he'll play Waluigi in the next gritty reboot
As someone with that family background the amount of italian impressions that have been directed toward me has been very high throughout my life and I gotta say that Jared is nailing the tone of "mocking 6th grader"
Gaga sounds possibly more eastern european to me but at least she's a real person and not a cartoon character

that's damn good
Sacré bleu!This is kind of like saying that Russ Abbott's character C U Jimmy is a love letter to Scotland.
or that any American impression of a French soldier in WW2 is the same.
He's so cool.
But that's not ravioli!
Anyway, judging from this clip, he sounds nothing like Paolo Gucci.

100% co signed, and I specifically hate the habit of having character with otherwise perfect (if accented) English, just forget how to say basic words like "thanks" or "yes" and has to code-switch back to their native tongue for this one word (that just happen to be one of 5 words that the average english speaking movie-goer know from that language).
I admit I was legit surprised when they were already at the climax of the film when I saw it. I was like, "Wait, what? This seems like end game set up - oh, credits are rolling now. Well then."
Ironically, Venom probably could have used a few more minutes to add some connective tissue and, I dunno, characterization to the plot. You know it's bad when the best part of the movie is (marking in spoilers in case people in this thread actually want to see Venom 2; this spoiler concerns Cletus, though this bit happens "earlyish" in the movie)
Cletus' backstory, which I thought was a cool animated sequence)
It's so awesome that he showed up on set looking like this to play a guy who just looked like a regular guy:
Why did he get fat? The biggest clown in Hollywood.

My big issue is it needs to be consistent across the film. The Last Duel had basically no attempts at french from the main cast but then Comer and some side chars had french accents which kind of broke it all. I'd rather everyone just go transatlantic than have a universe where the accents only exist for some
Did anyone else think during the pee scene that Jared Leto actually peed on set.
Like obviously there's no reason to, but because it's Jared Leto I just assumed he did the most outrageous and inappropriate thing possible.

I'm going to blame his agent and management team for that one.
that was so excessive over talk about pizza lmao
i should watch the sopranos
He's "method". As Laurence Olivier once said to Dustin Hoffman on the topic:It's so awesome that he showed up on set looking like this to play a guy who just looked like a regular guy:
Why did he get fat? The biggest clown in Hollywood.
"My dear boy why don't you just try acting?"
He didn't get fat, it's all makeup and prosthetics. He just got off Morbius or something iirc so yeaIt's so awesome that he showed up on set looking like this to play a guy who just looked like a regular guy:

Interesting. I can't find a picture of Paolo being that full-figured (or unkempt), so I'd love to know where they drew their inspiration from.
Leto only needed the hair done, some wrinkles, and the nose.
Hollywood accounting.
whenever someone ask me a question I don't know about the business of making movie I just say "Hollywood accounting" over and over until people leave me alone.
Anyway I donno it was a casual conversation, I though it made sense but I'm not like a market analyst .
Lady Gaga actually plays in an extra in the scene the cops are asking about too.
No spoilers in this video, but beware of youtube recommending spoiler scenes if you start watching clips of the show.
Now go watch the greatest show of all time.
As a fat, bald guy myself I call for an immediate cancellation of any naturally hot, pretty boy actor who goes and eats like shit for a few months or wears a fake double chin and shaves their perfect hairline back to steal genuine fat, bald guy valour. Christian Bale will also be expected to report for summary cancellation at his earliest convenience. Stealing food off the table of the heroic fat, bald character actors like Kevin Dunn, Fred Melamed and John Carroll Lynch who are the backbone of Hollywood.
When I speak with anglophones I use the french words for "yes" and "thanks" because I know they understand and why the fuck would I do the concession of speaking 100% of their language
This has been a very entertaining thread.
Tbh I don't think knowing the context changes that much.
I really wish all these prosthetic performance would stop. Should be reserved for like, near impossible situations to cast for (like fantasy stuff like Voldemort) and maybe if the physical change is part of the character itself (so like, a burned / scarred face causing social reactions). Everything else, just cast different people or let us use a little suspension of disbelief. There's no real value to like, Guy Pearce in old man makeup. Just cast a fucking old dude.
That fucking sucks because most of the movies I've watched lately that are that long suffer from the long runtime, pacing is shit.
Honestly it's just good makeup. The performance itself is pretty wack.
It was both too long and too short at the same time. Whole movie's pacing was a train wreck.
Would've worked better had they cut it down or turned it into a 6 part limited-series or something.
