This ain't gonna top the James Dean film at all

[fernandocolunga]

Omg I had no clue the nepo of it all

[genbu_no_miko24]

Oh ho ho that nepo legacy!!

I wonder who's gonna play Caleb? Cause James Dean WAS Caleb to a T!! Even the John Steinbeck was shocked at much James was the literal character right down to the daddy issues!

Yeah James Dean completely owned the role.

B O D I E D!!

I wasn't crazy about the film but there's no denying his peformance!! (Jo Van Fleet earned her Oscar iirc).

I read this book and lord it was a slog. Not sure what zoe kazan can do to make this less of a piece of misogynist/racist garbage, but go off I guess

John Stienbeck and slog

Christopher Abbott is so fucking hot. He was great in Possessor, Piercing and The Crowded Room.

I’ve always had a thing for him since Girls.

[epicdonald]

Yeah I really liked him in Catch 22 and felt like he had whatever the opposite of iPhone face is. Victrola face maybe. Like he just walked right out of a WW2 recruitment ad.

Alexander Graham Bell face. 1920s farm party line face.
