    the last ten minutes gets a little bit preachy but the whole encounter thing was so unexpected
    won't ruin it

    so i was really interested in Halston
    that era of studio 54 always fascinated me w its hedonistic excess and his story is a crazy one for sure
    i knew going in w netflix there would be gay stuff since i'm pretty sure everyone knows the man was gay
    but he also kept it very low key when it came to his public persona
    so when the first 30 minutes had not one but two hardcore bent over the table but fucking scenes i just turned it off
    sure it has its bright spots, maybe not, but McGregor looked great in the role
    what a shame they couldn't tell the story without making him look so absurd and shallow
    i mean maybe he was those things but it just seemed like they were using his story as a vehicle to shock and push an agenda
    shame on them

    i grew up in the middle of this and its truly and amazing story about a guy most thought a conceited vain actor
    the Kilmers were all over this side of the valley and i remember seeing Val and Mare together they were like high school gods
    Trigger hill was the spot all the cool kids knew about
    undeveloped land w incredible views and we had our bong loads and Schlitz talls
    you might mistake it for depressing but its not
    its life

    Yeah, that's a pretty good trilogy (haven't seen Eq3 yet). Good that there's new DeNiros, because I won't watch anything more from that over-the-line woke fuck anymore. My wife was trying to get me to see Killers of the Flower Moon, which I intended to until I noticed that he's in it. So I got the book instead.

    Just to add some context to my last post, it's not so much that I disagree with the stances that he takes, which I do. It's not even that I dislike when people try to use their celebrity status to influence my thinking, which I hate vehemently. It's mostly because when I go to watch a movie, I need to be able to fully buy into the notion that for those 2-3 hours, the actor is the character in the role that he's playing. For me, the best movies are actually ones where the main actors are anonymous to me. Of course there's loss of anonymity as they become more successful, but I can for the most part buy into Hanks' and Denzel's characters, for example, because they've relatively stayed out of controversial situations when not playing a role. But then you have someone like Tom Cruise, where I can't watch any of his characters without thinking of him jumping on Oprah's couch or taking on Brooke Shields or other stuff. Or Alec Baldwin without thinking of him being an asshole to the flight attendant or Russell Crowe in that hotel lobby, and so on. With these actors who've undermined their ability to get me to believe that they're the character on the screen, it's not even worth my time and money watching. And DeNiro is probably the biggest culprit of that.
