IMO steve jobs was the best performance last year. Much better than Leo's revanant. Apocalypse was a choppy jumble. Singer should step away from this franchise

THIS. Totally agree.
I liked the new trilogy more than the old one but the reason it's pretty obvious (cast, especially Michael / even tho I perfectly know the old actors are MORE THAN amazing as well).
I admit Apocalypse was the worst of the trilogy in terms of plot and script: I found it difficult to really enjoy the dialogues in some moments, the best parts were the ones with Magneto and his family IMO, except for the Quicksilver's super cool parts.
I enjoyed the other 2 way more than this, the story was obviously better IMO and Michael had much more screen time, but I noticed this time there were so many actors that their time on screen was obviously shorter than usual.
The emotional scenes with Erik were heart-breaking tho, they made the movie.
And, like you, I have an affection for X-Men, I saw the first one years ago and I had a very great night so I think it was a kind of love at first sight and I always love to rewatch the saga every time someone asks me to or I just feel like I need to.
Not the best of his films but this scene makes my go from

My favourite part of all the movie was when he was being flirty with his blonde gal during his licence, with his uniform and the stache (aprilmayjune's gonna laugh a lot at me [emoji85]) but he was beautiful for the whole time, one of the main reasons why I liked it, cos although I'm into love stories and period dramas, I didn't like very much the cinematography (too elaborate and too many colours).. The cast was good tho.
Ok let's go back to this:

(here lol=laughing out loud AND lots of love)
Aawwhah here you are [emoji57][emoji173]️
I immediately thought of you lol
http://m.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1548597017/ NEW quite long interview about TLBO.
FIRST OF ALL look at how gorgeous he is in this video!!! [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]
He says beautiful things about love, how he cried with the script and with the book, working with Derek and Alicia and then something about cinema/life.
Btw I'm pretty sure this interview is from 2014, his hair are just like in that period (and also no facial hair) + he made few references that made me understand he was filming or had just finished filming.
He's incredibly handsome.
Loved it.

Ok, that video is definitely from 2014. I watched the Alicia's one and others and they are clearly from that period/end of the shooting/Autumn 2014.
Yep, confirmed, the other interviews made me clearly understand they were from 2014
And comment sections of sites like Just Jared. Blind Gossip is another example. Anyway,CDAN is the same site that had a blind item about Rapace refusing to work with him again when they started to film Alien and she wasn't confirmed.. We all know that she adores Michael. I don't really know why people take this stuff seriously. And there are obviously people who choose to believe what suits a particular narrative.
Yes..
His performance in SJ was his best reviewed performance last year,and he also won with Alicia the LAFCA award for it.Hahaha, well I loved that teacher back in the days. She was great. But I didn't really wanted to discuss about the movie with her, cos having a convo with her = she talks 99% of the time and you only have the possibility to say "yep/no", "morning"/"bye".
But she's kinda sweet anyways
Btw I liked it very much. I'm one of the fewest who preferred Steve Jobs, I adore the director and Michael + Kate were superb in it, but I liked Macbeth pretty much even tho I'm not sure I'm a Kurzel's fan. I liked Michael's interpretation, I also liked Marion (she's one of my favourite actresses) but I was a bit concerned by the fact she had not so much screen time to develop Lady Macbeth's deep psychological issues...
But the cinematography was gorgeous. I'm so glad Arpakow worked in TLBO too!

It's definitely one of my favorite performances.
I think his performance in Macbeth had a great potential that was particularly evident in some scenes,but he deseved a different direction,even if Kurzel had some interesting takes on the story. I always pefer a subtle,minimalist approach (Shakespeare adaptations can be tricky),but soliloquies and dialogues lose every type of nuance if actors talk in whispers. This kind of approach was specifically chosen by Kurzel.
Anyway,I agree with those who said that Macbeth was a fitting training ground for AC.
Sorkin won the Golden Globe and I was really surprised he wasn't nominated. Apparently,voters were heavily influenced by the bad press around the movie.

Really love this interview! Thanks for posting. Such an intelligent man and it's clear how deep he understands humanity and life. Love how he explained cinema's ability to relate to individuals. I remember Steve McQueen said Michael is a real artist. I think this interview really demonstrates that.
Totally Ginger! Michael has such intelligence, depth and sensitivity and a passion for exploring human issues. He gets real satisfaction from enhancing his own understanding of human behaviour and trying to portray it honestly and respectfully. That's where he finds his motivation and satisfaction in his work.
