    The funny part of Ebon Moss being in Andor is that he already *has* a Star Wars-ass name. 😆

    There is something so heartbreaking seeing his character in the Bear talking to someone trying his best not to cry. It’s happened like 5 times in the bear and each time I can feel his pain.

    I'm with you on the sentiment of Forks being one of my favorite episodes of any TV shows ever.
    WE as the audience can see that he was the guy who was good with people, but it felt like Richie never realized that there was anything truly good about himself. Everyone else knows what they're good at and they're just getting better, Richie never really knew so when he found it, it was beautiful.
    Man, I'm crying again.

    Forks is my favourite Bear episode. I just love poor Richie so much. He is so sad, and so lost. Everyone is caught up with Carmy’s loss that they're not considering Richies, and all of that is shown in the performance. He's so good!

    I KNEW he was in Mona Lisa Smile! I thought he looked familiar but the glasses threw me off. Im so happy for his success after just hustling for so long

    His story arc on the Bear is great. He went from obnoxious (for me) to endearing, to respectful in just 2 seasons, can't wait to see what the're doing with season 3.

    You really summed this up in the wrap up. One of the reasons I love this channel is it covers "the other guys".
    Not the A listers, but actors who still light up the screen in their own way. They rarely become megastars but they find success in their own niche.
    That's something I find very satisfying with their stories. Trying to find my own niche where I'm satisfied. ❤

    He's spectacular. I can't wait to see what he brings to Fantastic Four. It's Kevin Feige's baby. That alone gives me faith in the film. But the cast they got. That tells me there is something special in that script. And you'd be silly not to say yes to it.
    And I loved Fringe. Forgot he was in that. And hey, I know those who know love Fringe. And it has become a cult hit. But I'm baffled more people haven't gone back to watch, and it become bigger than ever. I'm not saying every season was spectacular. But almost. I watched it all again recently and it holds up for the most part.
    Regarding Girls. It's great. No matter how you feel about Lena. It's objectively a well made show. And you have to give credit where it's due. It's not for everyone. Absolutely. But any reasonable film fan should at least give it props.

    Definitely my favorite character on The Bear. He's just so human. His arc and just the whole show cures you of any sense of misanthropy.

    When you said “coming into their own in their 40s” immediately I thought of John Cena as well, while he’s been famous for such a long time, he’s really come into HIS own acting wise, starting in lower budgeted comedies and then having his own show on max, I think we’re just seeing what cena as an actor has in store as he gets older. I’m predicting this man gets a serious role and absolutely shows up for it

      Probably because there wasn't a good one and there is potential for one. Although like you I am skeptical. What one do you think was best so far the 1st early 2000s one?

    • @joaocorreiamedia
      @joaocorreiamedia 4 дня назад

      @@StealingWinter It was the best one. But it wasn't a great film. But at this point I'm beyond done with Superhero films.
