    Olyphant. Good call for an actor, but older.

    I think Kristen is just a good actress, so I picture her doing dialog well, even if she hasn't been given a good comedic role.

    Weird that most guy actors are all kind of one-note off the top of my head.

    I can Olyphant being great in a QT flick. Not a Stewart fan either, though she not really a bad actor, I just don't see her right for QT material. I could be wrong though, hell, how many times has Quentin proved an unexpected casting to be dead right?

    Seriously. Emilia Clarke or Carey Mulligan, too.

    Also, it seems like too "prestige" for QT, but Michelle Williams.

    Based on Clarke's performances outside of GoT that is unlikely.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Yeah but QT can get performances out of people. I think she'd be great.

    Clarke, even on GoT, is anything but solid on her dialog IMO.

    Headley, Dinklage, and Maisie though...

    Dinklage is an odd combination of great line readings with poor accent work.

    Lots of new cast members: Damian Lewis (as Steve McQueen!), Luke Perry (!), Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, Clifton Collins Jr, Keith Jefferson and Nicholas Hammond.

    Damn. This movie.

    None creates anticipation like QT, both inside his films and in the time before their release.

    This is starting to sound like one of those over-crowded Woody Allen smorgasbords from the 1990s (Everyone Says I Love You, Deconstructing Harry, Celebrity) where a slew of famous faces pop-in for brief, underwritten cameos intended to momentarily enliven a film that has no purpose. Remember Madonna's scenes in Shadows and Fog? Neither do I.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    He'd have been arrested if that were so. I read some quote about it somewhere, but nothing beyond that.

    "On February 12, 2015, Hirsch was charged with aggravated assault after initiating an altercation with and then strangling Paramount Pictures executive Daniele Bernfeld on January 25, 2015 at the Tao Nightclub in Park City, Utah.[16][17] On August 17, 2015, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault, and was sentenced to 15 days in jail. He was also fined $4,750, received 90 days of probation, and ordered to undergo 50 hours of community service."

    Mmm, seems like it was serious, tho the penalty feels light.
