That's Milana Vayntrub! She's actually hilarious in Werewolves Within

 

Saw this with my wife last night in IMAX and we loved it. Teared up three separate times Rocky saying he’d help get Grace home, death fake out (really reminded me of gray E.T. which always made me cry as a kid), and the beauty of the red sequence outside the ship. The magic of da movies!

 

Grey E.T. freaked me out as a kid and I had recurring anxiety/dread nightmares for years about E.T. slowly descending upon my location.

I would be dreaming and be somewhere and the lights would start to dim and I sensed that E.T. was approaching and I’d begin to panic and feel trapped. Once, while having this dream, I looked out the window and I saw E.T. pull into the driveway in a Volkswagen bug. Lmao.

In real life, when I was maybe 6, my mom dropped me off at the IKEA daycare center while she went shopping and, a few minutes after I was dropped off, the workers ushered us into a room to watch a movie and yeah it was E.T. I lost my mind.

When I was in my early 20s, I went to a show at the Groundlings and it was an interactive improv scene where Jeremy Rowley played an early version of his (problematic!) character Ming that he did on Comedy Bang Bang a few times. He was supposed to be helping people in the audience unlock success in their business and life and he asked me what my greatest fear was as a kid and I said “E.T.” And he paused and looked around and then said in his Ming voice “E.T. is not real. You know this, rriiight?” Crowd went nuts.

Fuck E.T. I wish I had thought of the hammers tweet myself.

 

Small Soldiers scared the living shit out of me as a kid personally

 

I believe he was already on a few weeks ago.

 

This moment was also incredible.

 

I saw a book reader complain that they didn't show Rocky was an engineer and I'm like "dude did we watch the same fucking movie???"

That was like... his main thing...

 

Btw this movie has the greatest platonic guy love since Scrubs

 

This was good.

 

The crab man was very close to becoming annoying.

Ryan Gosling would have been a much bigger star twenty years ago. He is certainly well known now, but he never really made that Hanks-Cruise-Pitt level.

 

That’s probably a good thing.

 

Idk I kind of consider him in that realm. At least an A lister. Maybe Jackman level.

 

Bryce Harper of actors.

 

Who is Bryce Harper?

 

the ryan gosling of baseball players

 

Lmao I don't know why that's so funny to me but it really got to me.

 

Sounds like a hell of a ball player.

 

When it’s true, it’s true.

 

crab man hahahaha

 

His name is Rocky they say it a million times. Bad media literacy.

 

They don't call him Watery

... cuz


..... He's a rock.

 

Rocky is not his name. It is cruelly slapped on him by an American.

 

20 years ago he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor

And I believe if he wanted to go the Hanks, Cruise, Pitt route he could have easily done it but he has said throughout his career that he’d prefer to do smaller, character-driven indie films rather than big Hollywood films.
