I mean, look at him go since stepping in Hollywood.
Absolutely insane Wagner Moura could be the first Brazilian actor to win an Oscar and be legit afraid of running into ICE.
(2/2)
Remembered watching Wagner Moura in Elite Squad 1 & 2 during my plentiful, unemployed, pre-COVID free time.
Since then, never managed to watch him in any more movies or series but damn has he been busy.
(1/2)
Season 2 opens up sometime post-COVID, company restructured, we see how much things changed or stayed the same.
New faces, old faces.
Then out of the first episode's entirety, David Jonsson's Gus shows up for ONLY a whole second: dissociating w/ freshly dyed hair, no lines.
Remembered 2016's In a Valley of Violence, written & directed by Ti West (X trilogy) that had Ethan Hawke go Western John Rambo/Wick against John Travolta's Sheriff and James Ransone's (R.I.P.) Deputy with bloody results.
Also starring Taissa Farmiga & Karen Gillan as sisters!
Beth de Araújo's sophomore had already premiered at Sundance & Berlinale, putting audiences through it once again and starring Channing Tatum & Gemma Chan:
"Josephine" is a disturbed 8yo girl who, after witnessing a crime at Golden Gate Park, attempts to deal with the trauma.
Four years and still waiting on an Australian release for Soft & Quiet.
Hell of a debut feature for Beth de Araújo.
Only ever watched the first season of Riverdale, thought it was interesting but should've clocked the writing at this moment...
...and for the next 6 seasons, still have no idea where the series was headed.
Happy belated 83rd birthday to recent Hollywood Walk of Fame star recipient, Bill Duke!
Learnt he directed "urban noir", Deep Cover in 1992; where Lawrence "Larry" Fishburne goes undercover working for LA's biggest drug dealer, played by Jeff Goldblum.
Leon's appearance in Requiem and the question of how the female survivors of Raccoon City would appear 28 years later (lol) reminded me of-
It's 2026 and John Woo's Hard Boiled, The Killer and A Better Tomorrow are finally releasing in Australia, UK and US restored, in 4K and with original audio.
Too damn long.
Oh shit, Milana Vayntrub is in Project Hail Mary.
IF that Kane & Lynch movie ever comes through with Bloom considering coming back to live action again...
At the age of 55, I just think-
The man has a career in the industries spanning 42 years, 26 of them in live action feature films & television alone before focusing on voice acting and writing
Here he is in Once Upon a Time in America (1984) and The A-Team (2010)
(2/3)
Shoutout to voice/live-action actor plus writer, Brian Bloom
Been in almost every game I played over the past 20 years:
- Jak III & X
- Driver: Parallel Lines
- Mafia II
- Kane & Lynch
- F.E.A.R.
- Wanted: Weapons of Fate
- Spec Ops: The Line
- Wolfenstein
- Call of Duty

"Industry to end with Season 5"
The fuck you mean the first episode of the series was directed by Lena Dunham?
Ken Leung coming back with suddenly darker hair in the Season 1 finale probably because he was filming for M. Night Shyamalan's Old at that time.
Survived Endgame's Guild Strike and helped defeat the boss 4 times:
- 4x operator skins unlocked
- Sentinel Protocol major ability unlocked
- Blood Burner minor ability unlocked
Curious to see what Season 2 Reloaded's "Glitches" be like...
#CallofDuty #BlackOps7
How planned was this?
Right down to the titles and both releasing in the same week.

Voice actors who are looking to have demos made! ⬇️
Sure, your game may be woke but did it have you liberate enslaved miners in Apartheid South Africa?
Or rescue Aboriginal villagers from genocide as they're being used as test subjects for a viral weapon by arms dealers?
Wild narrative choice from Syphon Filter 3 on the latter
Everyone on (HBO)/Max watching the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finale last night
Then there's me watching a banker do ecstasy, take coke into two orifices, receive a handy, taste his own "product"
All at the workplace Xmas party where his President, superiors and clients were
Danielle Panabaker getting chased by Jason Voorhees and infected townsfolk a year apart in horror remakes.
Her poor characters 😭
Jeremy Renner in 28 WEEKS LATER (2007)
Ralph Fiennes w/ Renner in THE HURT LOCKER (2008)
Fiennes in 28 YEARS LATER (2025)
Thinking about Mission: Impossible once again.
This time about Ethan Hunt's experience with water.
And his lifesavers.
Also love the fact I share a birthday with both Rian Johnson and Milla Jovavich.
20 years on with Johnson, we now have: Looper, a Star Wars movie, the Poker Face series and the Knives Out trilogy.
All of which probably contain Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Noah Segan in some form of cameo including The Last Jedi and last year's Wake Up Dead Man.

@empiremagazine.bsky.social introduced me to @rianjohnson.bsky.social and his 2005 directional debut, Brick.
Wanted a neo-noir, hard boiled detective story set in high school, gotten that and so much more: rapid fire dialogue with wit, a twisty story containing both suspense and dread.
(1/2)
I watched 2013's The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman sometime before the pandemic.
Don't think I could watch it again knowing now it pairs an abuser with a separate abuse victim.
