I would add Eat the rich and The menu (not related) for movies criticizing the rich. Although the former just makes fun of them.
I would also argue for Andor even though it doesn’t focus on the super rich and instead on the rebellion and the people making up the cogs of the fascist imperium. It still shows the rich in a critical light. I haven’t seen any series that made me want to fight the system more than Andor.
Anything cyberpunk usually fits that bill. Like Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix sounds and is ridiculous in many ways, but also has some insights on the rich taking over the media and prison system.
“ I could do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.” Gary Oldman and I share the same philosophy about work.
Actually, he won it for playing Churchill in The Darkest Hour.
Although I do believe Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy should have won all kinds of awards. And that includes Oldman for doing the nearly impossible as George Smiley: reprising a truly iconic Alec Guinness role and actually making it his own.
EDIT: well it took me a minute to catch your real meaning.
Well, least amount of work for him. He always brings his A-game from what I’ve seen, but a nice payday for a fraction of the number of days worked is nice!
The thing about these ones is that he is a side character for multiple movies. Both series had large casts and he was a key component to small sections of each. Large pay for little work is ideal. It’s not that he didn’t go all in. Just went all in for less time.
Definitely agree, but then I want to see a movie where he went all in for a bigger part of it. I have gotten some good suggestions, that I will ad to the list.
I’ve never thought about about it but I don’t think Gordon is in the first movie all that much. They’re just little scenes here and there, really.
He’s at his desk with a stapler. He’s at the docks for ten seconds. He takes out the trash once. The batmobile scene. And the end when he plays with the batmobiles rockets. Aren’t those the major scenes with him? I’m curious now.
Either way he even says he worked for less than a month on it. That’s pretty cool.
That and Bram Stokers Dracula were my introductions to him and some of my favorite characters to this day. He just completely owns the roles and defines the characters in ways nobody else can. He can be completely over the top and at the same time be completely believable. Gary Oldman is a great fuckin actor and any movie he's in automatically gets chance from me.
All of the new Star Wars movies are so boring and played out. They should just stop making them, but they won’t because they have to extract every single dollar from their IP.
Grogu is boring and played out, he should have been delivered to Jedi and that was it or been a single season character. Not that he is a character or anything at this stage.
God State Wars is so boring now, can’t wait to see what this movie sets up.
Sounds like a sad attempt on Disney’s part because they couldn’t come up with a fresh new movie and instead are cannibalizing characters that should be focused on the tv side of the company.
