WTF is up with him? Why does he exist? To annoy me?

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

he's the worst actor in the world

gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 01:50 (twenty-two years ago)

He really is! I mean, he somehow managed to be the worst thing about Evita, I mean honestly.

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Geez this is kind of a tough question, man, I thought I was real popular

Antonio Banderas (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

You are WORSE than Dave Matthews, I hate you with everything I have.

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 01:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Antonio Banderas! Matador! Zorro! Spy Kids!

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 02:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Those seem more like reasons he is bad and hated if you ask me.

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 02:12 (twenty-two years ago)

But they're good movies!

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 02:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I remember Matador being good.

Sean (Sean), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 02:21 (twenty-two years ago)

He is too much the sexy for Ally.

bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

It's too sexy! Too sexy! No no no! bnw you're my hero.

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 02:23 (twenty-two years ago)

it's his name

Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 02:56 (twenty-two years ago)

he owns truth or dare

nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 03:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 03:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Once Upon a Time in Mexico

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

plus he's in labyrinth of desire

nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 03:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i like him better than Billy Zane!

Aaron A., Wednesday, 6 August 2003 03:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Melanie Griffith: Name the reasons why you are so bad and hated.

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, you HAD to link to that, didn't you

rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I could've just as easily linked to this.

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it those pictures of the japanese hooker eating plates of shit? because I can live without that,

Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, Mike's second link does have this:

The O.C. (Fox). "Teenagers between 12 and 50 will love" this show, which attempts to re-create the success of Beverly Hills, 90210, and takes place nearby. ("O.C." stands for Orange County.) On "the 90210 scale," this series, from Charlie's Angels director McG, "is better written and better-acted by a cast that just might be, incredibly enough, even better looking," claps USA Today's Robert Bianco. In the show, the poor teen protagonist is taken in by a moneyed public defender, and the New York Times' Alessandra Stanley finds echoes of My Man Godfrey, noting that today, the "wealthy beach communities in Southern California are as close as we get to the silly rich of the 1930's comedies—amusingly despicable." It's just an "enjoyable trash wallow," shrugs the Dallas Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Robert Philpot, but one with a lesson, adds the Santa Cruz Sentinel's Jerry Graham: "Rich people can be as miserable as poor people. But they sure have better houses."

Somewhere, somehow, someone or something must die. And it should probably be McG, who is from here after all.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked it.

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

ha! yeah I liked it too and love-interest girl is a really good actress, sort of phenomenal considering the context.

antonio banderas is great. he's really goofy.

amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought Doug Liman was behind 'the o.c.'?

nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:05 (twenty-two years ago)

also mid-period almodovar to thread! (as a character witness obv.)

amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

love-interest girl was hot

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:08 (twenty-two years ago)

"really good actress" is film nerd code for "hot"

amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

s1utsky you broke the RULES

amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

i think banderas plays off the inveitable "latin lover" thing nicely, he's always sort of tossing around the cliche without fully embracing it.

amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:13 (twenty-two years ago)

ha! I was originally going to try and say something funny like "yeah I think she's a 'good actress' too" but I'm tired and it didn't work out.

that dude needs a haircut though eh?

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:13 (twenty-two years ago)

banderas also is a pretty good comic actor!

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:14 (twenty-two years ago)

did anyone see "original sin"? i generally avoid anything associated with angelina jolie.

amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:15 (twenty-two years ago)

even hackers?!

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:17 (twenty-two years ago)

never heard of it.

amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:24 (twenty-two years ago)

she plays a hacker!

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

My exposure to Antonio Banderas: Spy Kids 1-3, El Mariachi 2, trailer for El Mariachi 3. All good.

On the other hand, avoiding Assassins, Femme Fatale and Interview with a Vampire may have skewed my perceptions upwards, it's true.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 06:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Doesn't anyone else think it's cute that they're currently on Broadway right across the street from each other?

JesseFox (JesseFox), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, if I see that poster for the HBO Pancho Villa movie one more time I'm busting everything in sight.

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 12:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked him in Almodovar's movies, before he moved to Hollywood. Though he wasn't exactly a character actor in those flicks either. (I guess Almodovar, the old queer, picked him mainly because of his looks).

Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

See Femme Fatale!

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 20:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I love Antonio Banderas. Personal fave performances: Assassins, Four Rooms, Desperado, uh... other stuff. I never DISLIKE him in a movie, which is rare for actors who learn their lines phonetically.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't like him in Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down! and I haven't seen him in other almodovar pics. Assassins isn't a particularly great picture, but Banderas is stunning.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

antonios good, if just for the love scene in desperado, i mean you can feel his manly force coming right thru the screen. its actually one of my favorite love scenes, and the movie itself is good.

Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i mean you can feel his manly force coming right thru the screen

EW.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

a moneyed public defender

gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i should have described that in different words, but its quite something for a male actor to do that to a straight male viewer. all im saying is its a good scene.

Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

During a drunken round of truth or dare in college with the newspaper staff and a couple of my crazy friends the question came up of who of the same sex you would get it on with (room was all straight people, right) - two of my friends agreed almost immediately on Antonio Banderas. Since I had no fucking clue I just went along with them. I think that since that time at least one of them has switched to Christian Bale. Personally I'm still at a loss to name anybody.

Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:55 (twenty-two years ago)

anyhow everybody see Assassins. His eye-rolling performance is worthy of Brando.

fave lines: "Killing a woman, it's not the same as killing a man. You have to pull the trigger a different way."

"shishishishishit"

"MATERFAHKER!"

"I will give this bullet to my son Juacomo."

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Those four lines have convinced me to see this movie.

s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

ive discussed the same thing with friends, drunk, and almost immediately, and somewhat to my surprise, i said morrissey straight away. and now i think about it, yeah it is morrissey.

Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Either I liked Assassins more than I remembered, or Miccio has rewired my brain.

I dig Banderas in the movies he does with Rodriguez. He hasn't made much impression on me in anything else (except Assassins, apparently. Netflix here I come.)

Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

his is one of the only redeeming roles in Four Rooms

gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

did anybody not notice Bob Shaw just won ILX?

Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

"I will give this bullet to my son Juacomo."

His son is the King of Jesters, and Jester to the King?

Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

millar, your statement's confused me a little.. what have i won? this isnt like the time when readers digest promised me that boat is it, and then they just sent us crappy books about family healthcare instead, is it?

Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

anyhow everybody see Assassins. His eye-rolling performance is worthy of Brando.

sound of Brando keeling over into grave, then sound of him rolling

As long as I wouldn't have to pay to see it, I could use a(nother) laugh.

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 22:21 (twenty-two years ago)

You won Morrissey. Go at it.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

i mean you can feel his manly force coming right thru the screen

Is this gonna be in Spy Kids 3-D?

rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 7 August 2003 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

It'll be shooting right along, I'm sure.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 7 August 2003 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

shooting or dribbling?

rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 7 August 2003 03:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Whatever you want him to be.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 7 August 2003 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

You know, this has done nothing but make me hate him more.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 7 August 2003 04:05 (twenty-two years ago)

See Femme Fatale!

I saw the trailer. Haven't I suffered enough?

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 7 August 2003 07:48 (twenty-two years ago)

but he was zorro, how can you hate him.

Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Thursday, 7 August 2003 07:51 (twenty-two years ago)

They are all wealthy Spanish landowners, obviously.

NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 7 August 2003 11:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you see the great European trailer that condenses the entire movie down to 2 minutes? Ie it shows the ENTIRE THING sped up? that's great

s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 7 August 2003 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

he should have played Manolo in Scarface.

Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 7 August 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Banderas at 60: Will Squeal for Food

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 7 August 2003 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...
matador!

cÂşzen (Cozen), Thursday, 14 October 2004 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

nine years pass...

the antonio banderas laptop scene in assassins becoming a meme+this thread inspired me to watch assassins and anthony is otm....one of the most entertaining terrible performances ever, up there with the silent night deadly night 2 guy. just completely takes over the movie and turns this attempt at a cool guy action movie into a total farce. i dont get how a seasoned action director dude like richard donner was actually watching this performance IRL and wasnt like "uh....antonio....maybe take it down a couple notches" unless he was trying to self-sabotage, 'the producers' style.
