He should have just gone the Tom Cruise route and been an action movie guy. He has the looks and the acting ability solely for that. Not much more. He threw away his prime years for recognition he's not going to get instead of forming a nice canon of franchise roles and actioners so he's remembered. His most memorable role will be voicing a capeshit racoon. Grim. All due to himself, really.
He could have adapted Mack Bolan and had his own Mission Impossible and be remembered but now he'll be forever oh yeah that guy in the 2010's who was popular for a while..
He still missed out on his prime years which is 30s/40s. Cruise builded on his canon while in that age while Neeson is a one-off, not that common for an old chap nowadays. Not like with Charlie Bronson. He should have made the Mack Bolan movie and he'd be an action star remembered and revered. Why do you think Cruise skipped out on prestige shit? He realized it's all nonsense and that making crowdpleasing and memorable blockbusters was far more worthwhile than participating in that insanity.
Cruise skipped out on that and started focusing pretty exclusively on the action stuff at a point where he’d already worked with Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick, Oliver Stone, Michael Mann, Paul Thomas Anderson, Brian De Palma, Tony Scott, Neil Jordan, Cameron Crowe, Ron Howard, John Woo, the list goes on. He’s been nominated for big awards himself and can clearly go back to the dramatic route as the ageing statesman Paul Newman type when he wants. The man’s career and filmography has been Insane.
I can see him going back to get that Oscar in a few years. Some say he's in Tarantino's final movie. Cruise is something else. There'll never be a big name actor like him in history ever again. He's larger than life in a way no one else has ever been. As for Cooper, if tonight's humiliation doesn't get him to reject this shit and take up action movies so people like him again then he's daft.
how is it humiliation when he was nominated in the first place? it's hard to even get nominated. that's a win for coop who has really become a beloved actor. he has been in a ton of classics. a star is born, silver linings playbook, american hustle.
Why did Cooper direct Maestro himself? Were no serious directors willing to work with him? Was it ego? Or did he have a genuine artistic vision he wanted to realise?
>because every single choice he made was from the oscar bait manual from the early 2000s
It’s called the “Mel Maneuver” based on the making of Braveheart in 1995.
You’re not watching her acting you’re simping for her butthole. The role she won an Oscar for was literally “I’m acting here” and she only won because she was Harvey’s favorite Harvest at the time.
I have no idea of who's this generic white guy.
He looks like: >the guy who did hawaii 5.0 remake >the guy who was on Lost, like the first anon said >the guy who starred in hundreds of fps games in the 2000s
He wasn't in LOST, you're thinking of Josh Holloway
heh

His most memorable role for me is the guy in Licorice Pizza
He could have adapted Mack Bolan and had his own Mission Impossible and be remembered but now he'll be forever oh yeah that guy in the 2010's who was popular for a while..
>implying he couldn’t do that still
cruise and neeson are in their 60s and 70s, respectively. he could easily do the action movie thing if he wanted.
He still missed out on his prime years which is 30s/40s. Cruise builded on his canon while in that age while Neeson is a one-off, not that common for an old chap nowadays.

Agree completely

Don't forget Wet Hot American Summer 1 and 2

That last shot lingering on his reaction after he got nothing was cruel. He should just drop the pretensions and do action movies like Cruise.
anyone got a webm of Cooper's reaction?
He did a good pillhead who pisses himself in the remake (the superior version) of A Star is Born
>implying he could ever compete with cruise
nah, maestro was a stinky movie
A hollow point
>Dear god, I hate potato pikeys so much. Please create another famine
He should have won the Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook, not Jennifer Lawrence.
He didn’t do anything special in that. Enjoyable film but he’s pretty one note there
Stop worshipping JLaw’s butthole, she’s mediocre at best. Cooper carried Silver Linings from start to finish.
Lawrence and to a lesser extent De Niro carried that. Bradley Cooper just acted like himself and was pretty much the same in every single scene.
>she’s mediocre
She’s been great in every flick I’ve seen her in, but that’s also because I want to eat her ass.
You’re not watching her acting you’re simping for her butthole. The role she won an Oscar for was literally “I’m acting here” and she only won because she was Harvey’s favorite Harvest at the time.
He just acted like he was on coke, not hard, probably even took some
you've clearly never done coke but yeah
Maybe it’s time to make The A-Team 2 after all
im REIGNING my anger in
its reining friend, reigning would be like you ruling over a kingdom.
yeah. they were showing the lines as they were being spoken while running through the writing nominees, and fricked it up.
He wasn't in Lost.
Also the guy that makes you realize Oblivion was right about faces.
His career was cooked when he got an extremely shitty facelift for Nightmare Alley, which was also shitty
Nightmare Alley was terrific, thanks for the reminder
Doesn’t sound that terrific if you needed a reminder
murder suicide incoming, he already professed his hatred of his daughter because she's not made of gold
WE HAVE TO GO BACK
His last good role is still the hangover, It’s over.
Surely a new hairline will revive my caree-ACK
what does nw and those numbers mean
Narwhal, it’s a creature invented by Reddit. And the numbers are just arbitrary to confuse you.
Reddit invented an aquatic mammal with a horn and release it into the sea?
There is nothing reddit cannot do
>>HIS ROLE OF A LIFETIME
Nah. It was just oscar bait. And he knows that
reminder that people who went theatre school with him said that he was openly gay
Felt a bit laugh laughing at his transparent seething tbh
Put the nose back on and try again
>Spent 6 years on a project that was basically "I'M ACTING!!!!!!" and trying hard to be Oscar bait.
The biggest hack b***h in the industry right now.
Tell me why we need conductors.
Tempo and feel, it also makes it more entertaining if your a pleb
I think he was at his best in Limitless
>"Honey, my blood pressure medicine... NOW!!"
Probably that
theory will take you only so far
I have no idea of who's this generic white guy.
He looks like:
>the guy who did hawaii 5.0 remake
>the guy who was on Lost, like the first anon said
>the guy who starred in hundreds of fps games in the 2000s
why did he think he was going to win a israelite award after putting on the prosthetic nose?
He met Sarah Gadon's cousin-in-law at the Oscars once.
