    A24 sure seems to be pushing out the rom-coms with the male lead being 10+ years older than the female lead lately.

      That’s been common for a literal century of film.

        More commenting on the fact that they seem to be falling into the trappings that for a while they seemed to keep clear of. The indie darling is becoming more of a mainstream studio as time goes by.

          That’s how that always works. They directly stated as much themselves.

      I think it might be a bit of a reflection on the state of younger men. Younger women are becoming less turned off by an age gap if it means the man isn’t a self-absorbed loser.

    Two people with very specific faces in the same way.

    Like em both but together they feel odd. I just wanna see Robert pattinson do weird roles

      I must admit that I don’t know much about him, but I suspect he would do great in a role far removed from what he’s best known for, i.e. not a vampire.

      Remember Elija Wood in sin city? I’m sure RP could pull off being The Joker (Nolan version) or something similarly insane/weird.

        You NEED to watch the lighthouse. Although watch the trailer to see if its your vibe.

        Also hes batman, he can’t play the joker lol. (I know you mean smth similar)

        But he has done a lot of indie movies with very weird and unique roles. Hes a serious actor for anyone who’s following his career. Or not. He’s just really good.

        I never saw twilight so I don’t have that stain either, although i do remember him from HP.

        He has a career much better than Elijah wood etc.
