He has most definitely not been Harry Potter since Guns Akimbo.
Lesson to other actors: if you don’t want to be typecast, pick the wildest, most batshit crazy role you can find, and then do that a few more times.
Just don’t go Adrian Brody levels of batshit crazy. The SNL rasta bit was a step too far.
That movie is fucking bat shit insane. It’s glorious.
If you like that, check out Swiss Army Man. It’s by the same directors of Everything, Everywhere All At Once, and it’s fantastic.
Oh, totally agree. That movie is also amazing and crazy in a different way.
Or that Snake Oil bit in Miracle Workers. I don’t know if I’ll ever hear the Six White Horses bit normally again
We got super ripped and watched this during Covid. It certainly is… A movie
I love how he’s just been going ‘fuckit, got my money’ and doing the weirdest shit possible to get his joy back. Horns was great
He was great as Weird Al
I didn’t even know it was a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird:_The_Al_Yankovic_Story
It only initially released on Roku’s streaming service, but I think it’s available elsewhere now.
It is NOT meant to be historically accurate, which makes it funnier IMO.
I’d go so far as to call it a parody of other rock star documentaries 😉😉
Weird Al takes secular pop songs and makes them into wholesome parodies, for his movie he took his wholesome life and made it into a secular drama parody. Loved it and Daniel Radcliffe was perfectly cast.
yea and there’s something about the way the film does it … unless you know going in you could almost be fooled into thinking it’s a serious and accurate biopic (at least for much of the film) … which was really fun to watch … because then there’d be some line or event which is clearly too ridiculous and it all lands but still the mostly serious tone is almost the punch line.
Exactly that. It’s like the movie is all rising action. It just keeps getting more ridiculous.
It is NOT meant to be historically accurate, which makes it funnier IMO.
Probably the best stance when dealing with someone like Weird Al
I thought that made it kinda pointless. I wanted to see Al’s actual story, and instead I got some weird 2 hour long SNL skit. There were some pretty good parts, like Another One Rides the Bus at the Hollywood party, but the shit with Pablo Escobar was just a waste of screentime IMO.
You just go back to 2002 and watch vh1 behind the music, easy
The scene where they record My Bologna in the bathroom across the street was true to life, so there’s that.
The camera work to make Daniel look shorter than he actually is, was such a nice touch.
I appreciate what he’s doing. He has enough harry potter money to never have to work his entire life, so he picks and chooses films that are interesting to him instead of just going after the paycheck.
Swiss army man, guns akimbo are both amazing films. Never watched harry potter though
Swiss army man was brilliant. My favorite of his performances as an adult
Check him out in Miracle Workers. Preferably only season 1 & 2, the rest of them are very odd and not so good. The most recent season (the meh one) he does have a drag scene, though.
Imperium was very interesting. He plays an undercover fed in a US white supremacists/neo nazi group. Quite the change of pace.
I’ve watched all four seasons of Miracle Workers. He’s pretty funny in all of them.
She’ll be comin’ round the mountain was a joy
Ive definitely been enjoying his post-Potter work. When I see his name on a new movie it goes on my watch list pretty quick.
A Young Doctor’s Notebook was a really clever dark comedy.
He’s a brilliant actor, and he picks his roles well. I haven’t seen anything he’s been in that I didn’t like. And I’ve loved his performance in all of it. The guy is setting himself up to be life of the greats out acting history eventually.
I haven’t gotten to see season 4 yet, but he’s been great in Miracle Workers.
It’s a seasonal anthology comedy. So each season follows a storyline, and then the next season is the same cast, but with completely unrelated characters, setting and story.
Seasons 1 & 2 were amazing, after that it became too absurd and not very funny anymore.
I’ve seen Jungle. I liked it.
Nope.
Yup!
