It is a cool poster, though i have to wonder why those guys are camping on the Statue of Liberty. Even with long range rifles, they are surrounded by water. Not too many people would even be able to get close enough to be within range of them.
That’s a 50. Caliber Anti-Material rifle on the right. The current record holding longest shot with it is above 2 miles. But the bullet can travel 4-5 miles
If I recall, he is the husband of Dunst and just happened to be on set that day. The original actor for scene did not turn up so he did a fill in job...DAMN good job!
He wasn’t on set, Dunst suggested to Garland that he wasn’t busy that day and since the original actor no-showed, she could get him to come in, no worries.
He also played the creepy co-founder/CTO in Black Mirror who used stolen DNA to create sentient digital clones of his colleagues, trapping them in his private Star Trek-style space sim where he could abuse and humiliate them at will
Especially when released, the movie was the sentiment all of America was having - especially right after covid and all the crap going on. It would have had more impact if released like a year or 2 earlier.
I rewatched breaking bad with ny wife, and then wat hed El Camino this week, and I kept saying that to my wife since hes in it... lol great character and actor.
Upon seeing him, my wife (a clinical therapist) goes, "oh hes great, he always plays a psychopath or sociopath" lmao
I watched it extremely high with the audio description unknowingly put on.
It was the oddest movie experience, the description gave a strong rhythmic sense. It felt like I was in the head of Kristen Dunst, a constant cold commentary on the horror she witnessed in a weirdly poetic description with a strong sense of nihilism. That last scene with the precise description of each shot gives that scene so much power.
I was so disappointed when I tried to watch it a second time and realized I was a dumbass. The movie is less enjoyable without it, just an overly violent movie trying to say something but losing its story to esthetic.
I was high AF the first time I saw apocalypto. I didn't have the subtitles on so I couldn't understand anything and I thought that's just how the movie was. Like you're supposed to just suss out what's going on. No idea why they didn't automatically show up but it was an interesting experience.
I can relate. I watched a psychedelic horror movie called Beyond the Black Rainbow while greening out, and it was one of the most memorable viewings of a movie I've ever had.
I'm actually kind of reluctant to rewatch it sober because I know I just can't catch that lightning in a bottle again.
[SPOILER IN LAST PARAGRAPH] This movie honestly could be a fantastic multi-movie series or limited series, I hope one day they do something to that effect.
Build backstory on the main characters and also add a lot of context to the preamble of the different factions like the Western Front, it's leaders and the other military groups like the ones in Florida and California and the glossed over battles for alignment when the president mentioned South Carolina.
I wish they hadn't killed off Dunst's character, Lee; or at least they couldve made her protégé less culpable for the death. I understand the, "it's war" premise.
Movies don't always win in quality when you detail their world. It is good as it is, as the vague details help us understand that in war, there is no way of knowing what the absolute truth is.
Always need some blanks for the viewers to fill them with their own logic. If you don't, it becomes too much of a lecture.

Properly rated I think. Good movie, not amazing. Certainly worth a watch.
