Honestly I was tired of him before that, his schtick is the same in every movie and I got sick of seeing him in absolutely everything.

I hate when Hollywood has an it person they feel they need to cast in all the movies in general. Please put people in roles they belong in (yes I know this will never happen.)

I feel this way now with Thimotee Chalamet, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan and the tall guy from Saltburn whose name I can't even remember. And Mescal is the only one I find likeable

[honeebs]

Yeahhh maybe or your quirky vibe just got boring.

Did anyone even watch that movie?

[soul_amazinn]

I know I didn’t

[kawaiiairbender]

I did but I can't really remember it.

I liked it okay but all I remember is looking at my phone and realizing there was still an hour left of the film. You really felt every minute🫠

I feel like I’ve seen it twice and I still could not tell you a single thing that happened.

Wikipedia tells me he's been directing, writing and acting regularly since that movie, so his career is very much still happening.

If he thought he was gonna be regularly starring in Oscar contenders and big movies after TSN... well that was never gonna happen, BvS or not. He doesn't seem to have a lot of range.

[helliosx]

But not 200m+ budget movies which is what (I think) he expected after his DCEU role.

I think TSN was him showing range from his previous roles. But instead of expanding that, it became his range.
