Although he has a great screen presence, Robert De Niro is a shit actor.


What qualifies a good actor though? As someone who studied activities g for many years - it's an interesting debate we had many times

Yeah, that's a good question. For me, a good actor can slip the bonds of his/her personality and can make you believe they actually are a different person. De Niro is always De Nero, even when he's been praised for gaining weight or whatever.

Don't get me wrong, I love to watch him and he's been the heart of several of the greatest films of all time. But to me he's like (but the apex example of) actors like Michael Caine and John Wayne. All three are giants of cinema and I love most of their work. But they are not great actors.

While we're on the topic of films, Fast & Furious 5 should have won a Best Picture Oscar.
Films shouldn't have to be arty, have hidden meaning, or try to teach anything in order to be considered good. They should be judged on how well they achieve what they set out to do, and Fast & Furious 5 was indeed fast, furious, and the fifth one in the franchise.

F5 is great, easily the best of the lot. But it isn't Oscar worthy.

Trent Alexander Arnold is massively over hyped.

Timid claims are more realistic than bold ones.

Crowds, whilst nice to play in front of and be amongst, are never a "12th man" and bare absolutely no relevance or impact to the results. Whether there's a crowd of 20,000 or 20, they'll never convince cricketers, or footballers to kick or hit a ball differently.
