It was one of the last big theaters and it was sad when they closed that down. Today we only have one cinema with lots of small theaters and maybe one big.

He was doing tiny roles in TV and film before any break. On the other hand, John David went straight to starring in movies. He went 1 acting credit to A list blockbusters. He got to where he is more for being Denzel's son than anything. Honestly he's just a bad actor. Horrible in Tenet. Just Google "John David Washington is a bad actor" and see what pops up.

    One of the reasons I really respect Kurt Russell is because of how he views his work. He takes it seriously, and he separates himself from the work and the characters. It's one of the reasons he has somewhat limited social media presence. Not that he has no social media presence, but he makes it a point not to throw every little opinion he has out there, because he understands that what he does entertains *everyone* from all walks of life and he feels that it's not an actor's job to get political.
    It can be hard not to speak up, especially when you know you can have an impact if you do, and I respect him for respecting the work and trying to maintain a professional approach to acting. It puts him in a class above a lot of actors for me just for that alone, if not for his incredible acting chops.

    Wyatt's episode is my favorite Black Mirror episode. That twist is insane! Ol Kurt is one of my favs. I grew up with Big Trouble in Little China and loved it...then enjoyed other roles like Soldier. That level of fitness he achieved in that movie was insane. I loved the premise and yes, Kurt didn't have many lines, but that fit the character, and it's much harder to act w/o talking. Non verbals are huge and he crushed it in that movie. Monarch with the two of them is great. Such a cool thing to be able to do and helps with that emersion. (as they look similar) Also...never knew the younger 'soldier' was Wyatt....very cool.

      @@thedude4672 That means very little in an industry where you don't have an actual job. When you're a director or actor, you just keep producing new movies. In part it's necessary to do so regularly to stay relevant and keep your connections, but Kurt Russell is still very active and John Carpenter is a renowned director who does not need to do that anymore. If he wants to make a movie, all he has to do is make a movie.
      But yeah, maybe he just doesn't want to anymore, that's fine. Would be awesome to see more from them both together, though.
