One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson, September 26, 2025) Movie • Page 5

that plus Wolf are maybe his two best

 

he’s also incredible in django even though i don’t love that movie

 

(Low key will always love Titanic too)

 

I have a soft spot for Catch Me If You Can

 

Can problematic people be good actors?? More on this at 11...

 

is leo problematic

 

The pussy possee thing is not good and he literally only dates women under 25 but how much you actually care about that is up to you lol

 

I just feel like his issues have to be less than 25.

 

My Hollywood friend has heard a lot of NDA stories about how he wears earbuds and listens to music during hookups which is more funny to me than anything

 

I don't think he's a terrible actor (there aren't a lot of those really - just poor direction and/or unimaginative casting), I just get bored of the squintyface mechanic he has leaned into more and more as he ages. reading about how KOTFM was reoriented and rewritten to center his character more made me yearn for whatever the original vision was, I found him easily the least striking member of the ensemble

 

pussy posse thing definitely sucks but that has to have been, what, like 25 years ago at this point when he was a dipshit kid?

 

well yeah the MGMT stuff is pretty well known publicly

agreed he’s probably a dipshit but that is mostly just dumb/funny

 

Leo is a good actor but shitty imo, but he’s not the shittiest person in this film that award goes to Sean Penn. anyway still really looking forward to this one.

 

He’s definitely a total piece of shit, that shouldn’t be a question. But so are most people whose movies I watch.

I also wish it were someone more interesting in the lead, but you can’t deny Wolf and Hollywood. I’m sure PTA will get some great stuff out of him

 

PTA is also seemingly worse than Leo, not that it's a competition

 

Throw out some names instead of just saying not leo

 

It’s not that he’s bad, he’s just been the lead in multiple movies from my favorite directors for the past decade. I’d need to think on actors I’d like to see. Also don’t know the character to know who’d work. Leo could be perfect

 

chris pratt

 

lol

 

What’s Diedrich Bader up to? Leo is giving DB from Office Space vibes. Give him a shot

 

DiCaprio has one of the best filmographies ever for an actor who isn't very good.

 

He is good actually

 

I don't know if this is meant to be sarcastic, but there are plenty of fine-but-limited (but very bankable) performers with impressive filmographies. John Wayne in particular comes to mind.

 

He’s good but he’s never the draw for me to see a movie

 

I don’t know if Leo is “good” but I always find him entertaining and that’s really all I care about in a movie
