Reply to do u think this era of up and coming actors could fill the big shoes of legendary actors from the past? by we_are_ghetto

Maybe they won’t have as much impact as these past guys, but we shouldn’t expect them to be. We shouldn’t have to compare them, because there’s no point to. Will they be iconic for this generation and be this generations stars? Yes. Will they ever be on the level of iconic as all these other veterans? Too early to tell. But even if they don’t become as iconic, that’s fine cuz they don’t have to. They just have to be good at their job

Reply to Junji Ito’s Horror Manga ‘Bloodsucking Darkness’ Getting Live-Action Adaptation (EXCLUSIVE) by Old_Faithlessness588

I'm excited. There's just something about his work that just sticks with you.

I remember accidentally discovering him through the live-action movie Spiral based on the manga Uzumaki which was unfinished at the time. I enjoyed the movie. If it's as good as Spiral and keeps some of the key disturbing visuals/scenes in the manga, I'll be stoked.

Reply to Cynthia Rothrock was the best Martial Arts female movie star and yet she almost never gets any credit by Lili_Danube

Yes, she and Michelle Yeoh's career where both launched together with Yes, Madam. I think she went on to making even more movies than Michelle (but not as high profile movies). I have a feeling that they might not have gotten along since they have never made a movie together again. Also I don't think I have ever heard Michelle even talk about Cynthia when she talk about her beginnings.

All seems fine to me. There are plenty of up and comers, and who knows how far they will go. This current generation of stars has long lived up to the legends of the past like Brando, grant, Douglas, bogart, etc. Meanwhile there are female actors today who completely blow away their counterparts of the past like Amy Adams and Frances Mcdormand. My money is on Julia Garner - everything that girl has done so far has been gold.
