'Uncut Gems' Roundtable Interview With Adam Sandler, Idina Menzel & More | Entertainment Weekly

[@angrykermit3192]

The Safdie brothers look like the homeless version and the accountant version of the same person.

Damien Chazelle is only 34 too so I'd say him as well. Not as gritty as the ones you mentioned but I thought Whiplash was damn near genius work.

@@shaneth138 I honestly totally agree with you

[@Snake711]

I agree, on point brother. We're seeing some interesting fresh filmmakers right now. I'd even throw Taylor Sheridan, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, Brady Corbet, and S. Craig Zahler in there. Damien Chazelle too no doubt, as shaneth138 said

[@ShutterSnapped]

You can tell how happy the Safdie brothers are with this movie. They recall moments of filming like they're recalling vacation with a bunch of friends. The relationships between all the actors are so great.

[@SerlingPictures]

Uncut gems is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time and my favorite of 2019. I see you, parasite, knives out are up there as well.

[@Ooth9999]

Julia Fox is exactly like her character she plays in the movie lol

[@brandonescutia2573]

[@noahzuniga]

the name of the character in the movie is also julia

[@EazyJakeOven]

Shes's great. At the point I'm at right now, she's just committed to eating a sandwich silently while everyone else talks around her and it's hilarious to me.

@@anttoes32 It's almost scene for scene, minus the nun & police, it's really not inspiration , more plagiarism, copyright infringement, I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up in court, I've seen other filmmakers sued for less. Funny thing is Safdie brothers were talking explicitly about George Segal in the hot rock & california split in an interview, its clearly stolen from 3 different films, Bad Lieutenant , the Hot Rock & California Split. I guess young filmmakers think of it today as sampling??, as in music? clearly originality is dead here,..sampling went to court & resulted in royalties, I have zero respect for such blatant plagiarism , SMH

[@thecat8513]

how is sandler so photogenic while not being that good looking. how does this happen?

[@chubbybrock]

The Cat dude has symmetrical features that signal attractiveness. I don’t think anyone would ever look at him as “hot”, but when you look at his face there isn’t anything weird or disfigured with it, therefore it’s comforting, and it’s not too sharp or gorgeous so that you feel lesser than him, he feels like a friendly face. A seat in your favorite chair from your childhood home, by the fire on Christmas Eve, the smell of pine and good times, the itch of good things to come. I don’t know bro, fine the dudes hot but I’m a straight man there’s nothing wrong with that idk I gotta go.

[@shaneth138]

It's his energy. His features aren't classic good looks but they are super expressive and the camera loves that. It's more interesting than a perfect pretty face with no soul behind it.

[@iiSup3rior]

Look at him he's gorgeous, except for the foam coming out of his mouth but other than that, he still looks pretty good. What is with this guy?
