Timmy Chalamet gives a “Tour de Force” performance in “A Complete Unknown”

It seems like Chalamet is good but the supporting actors are better.

Best Actor is widely expected to go to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.

I hope this movie is great and that he is, too. I love great bio pictures. I think he'll be very good.

R2 is Timothee Chalamet.

Listen. The 2022 critics' reviews of, their descriptive adjectives for, Austin Butler as Elvis would, in retrospect, astound you in light of his not winning the Academy Award.

In fact, "astonishing" was one of their words, along with (all legit sources, not SM): bravura performance; captivating; dazzling; electrifying; fantastic; grit and grace; hypnotizing stage presence; The King Incarnate; jaw-dropping; magnetic; nails it; Oscar-worthy; phenomenal; a revelation; stunning, sexy, spectacular, sublime, sensational; transformative; unforgettable. UNDENIABLE.

Yet denied he was of the Oscar, after winning the GG and BAFTA.

So I, as a Butler fan, don't want to read about how terrific Timmy (or, frankly, anyone else) is in his role as another music icon where the actor doesn't even have to look any different from his normal self (but for a tiny change to his nose). And Austin sang for real, also.

Not that I want to have some silly "fan war," but where are all the cries NOW of "there have been too many music biopics already!"? No, instead NOW we are going full-steam ahead to praise "A Complete Unknown" and, soon, "Maria."

[quote]Is he winning the Oscar?

Jesus Christ no OP.

He will if they remake The Mouse That Roared.

One reviewer hated the film.

1. He seized for himself an entire restroom trailer which caused massive lines of 150 crew members.

2. He flew into a rage when a low level production assistant accidentally included him in a photo’s frame.

3. He told everyone to not look him in the eye or introduce themselves to him.

4. He hates when production assistants and stand ins would watch rehearsals on A Complete Unknown.

Every single entertainment outlet is essentially a surrogate for his PR. They’ve always been in the tank for him. Just watch that trailer again.

Take these with a grain of salt.

Genius has it’s privileges, r8.

Goldderby loves Chalamet so I keep that in mind but Goldderby has Chalamet being the film's sole nomination.

[quote]a “Tour de Force” performance

No it’s not.

As if I would trust a Datalounger's opinion when it comes to Tim O'Tay, r13.

R7: Who hated it and what did they say?

There’s always gonna be people who hate it. The point is the majority don’t.

Unless the Searchlight people know something we don't, the Christmas Day release seems a little strange and it has an R rating as well.

The Jews need something to do on Christmas Day.

[quote] “ Timmy gives a "Tour de Force” performance

Timmy competed in the bicycle race?

While the reactions to “A Complete Unknown” have been mostly positive so far, the biopic received some mixed responses, including from Los Angeles film critic Ryan Swen, who described the movie as “frequently incoherent/inaccurate” and “not terrible but often unsuccessful.”

He has a lot of things going for him: goodwill from Dune 2, Searchlight is one of the best campaigners in the business, he loves to campaign his ass off, the Academy loves biopics, etc. However, being a film's sole nomination is hard for any actor. I remember he was the sole nomination for Beautiful Boy and got in everywhere except the Oscars. Furthermore, other dark horse contenders (Craig, Stan, Eisenberg) can rise in the polls and ACU's reviews and box office will heavily factor. Basically, I won't be shocked if he gets in and I won't be shocked if he gets snubbed.

It will be Ralph Fiennes for Conclave or Colman Domingo for Sing Sing. Timmy may get a nomination through spending but he won’t win.

The film looks boring and up its own ass, based on the trailers.

Oh don't tell me this is going to be another month long Dune 2-esque campaign.

Have they even seen the movie?

They don’t need to see the movie r26, because all of Hollywood is behind Timmy

If he does get in at the Globes or even the Oscars, does he bring Kartrashian?

Looks like they’re already setting up Goop’s brat as his next beard. His type is nepo babies after all.

[quote]because all of Hollywood is behind Timmy

Uh huh, R27.

R22 Fiennes is a fine actor and should have one by now.

Between this and the Cynthia Erivo performance news, DL is having a very bad week.

R8 He sounds like a prima donna.

Who’s the audience for this? Seniors?

I'll wait to hear from real critics and not paid influencers hired by studios.

The review embargo lifts December 10th.

I don’t get why he and his team are so aggressively pushing for this. The film was made in five minutes just to get it out by the end of the year. He may get a nomination but he’s certainly not winning. I’d wait and come back with a better project.

hey, I wanna be a paid influencer!!! Where do I sign up!?!?!?

If Timmy ends up winning the Oscar, the meltdowns at DL will be huge.

Timmy would have to have a truly bravura performance to get a win this early in his career.

They'll make him wait like they did with Leo.

It's a weird year for the Oscars...there are frontrunners for noms but there's really not solid sure things for probable wins like so many recent years.

Best Actor is probably Brody, Fiennes, Domingo. The other two spots seem to be pretty open with Timmy likely to get in there.

But, how many people have actually seen this movie? It smells like publicists working overtime again.

He’s never going to win an Oscar.

Even with a very weak Best Actor category this year, there are still more deserving performances than cheap Bob Dylan.

Brody and Fiennes are the only locks. It seemed like the buzz for Sing Sing died after the summer but Colman Domingo is on fire right now and A24 is one of the best campaigners in the industry. I think he’s a lock for the third slot.

I hope Eisenberg and Stan get the fourth and fifth slots. A golden globe win should help Eisenberg and I think the Actors on Actors controversy might actually backfire and galvanize support for Stan. I wouldn’t even mind seeing Craig get in for his first overdue nomination.

This years Best Actor isn’t weak at all. There are tons of performances in the race. Supporting Actress is weak this year.

Yeah I think Zoe Saldana is winning Best Supporting Actress and it will be one of the most egregious examples of category fraud. Granted she is miles better than Gomez and the sex changed lead.

Some are now putting Ariana Grande ahead of Saldana

R39, It opens on Christmas Day.

"Going Electric" should be the title. It marks the defining moment in Dylan's career. "A Complete Unknown" is meaningless.

[quote] I wanna be a paid influencer!!! Where do I sign up!?

You do not sign up. If you are worthy, you will be invited.

[quote]4. He hates when production assistants and stand ins would watch rehearsals on A Complete Unknown.

Um, watching rehearsals is one of the chief responsibilities of a stand-in, so that they can jump in immediately when the "second team" is called.

R48: He harbored a particular loathing for stand ins on the set of ACU and hated when they would sit in and watch rehearsals. Read the Daily Mail article. I believe that piece because similar horror stories have emerged from the sets of Wonka and Bones & All. The point is he’s no Angel and treats people very badly for somebody with zero talent.

R50: But not a competitive award like a Golden Globe or Bafta.

I reckon Timmy is the only person on the planet under 50 who's even heard of Bob Dylan. This film will be (another) flop.

It will do well at Christmas and then slowly disappear.

I don't want to jump the gun and call it a flop but it certainly won't make $900 million.

So it needs to make $900 to be a hit? No.

Massive TIMMY content for months!

Until the Oscars ceremony …at least!

HALLELUJAH

R51 is not I, r4. JSYK.

It begins

Exactly R52. Nobody cares about Dylan in 2025 and yes it will be yet another flop for Chalamet's career of one flop after the other.

The box office and popularity of Dune 2 and Wonka would like to have a world with you r59

Timmy is an internationally bankable permanently A list movie STAR

You are silly r59

2h 15m (not including previews). Fuck that I'm not watching Mouseboy mumble and fumble for two and a half hours.

R60 Also silly: saying that TimOtay is "permanently" an A list movie star.

He's odd looking and will age into character actor face by the time he's 40.

Also: not that great an actor.

He's had 3 big hits: Dune 1 and 2 and the Wonka thing. All tentpole type movies based on long established IP. His presence didn't make them huge hits.

Timmy is a great actor. Great talent

Whom does an actor have to fuck to win an Oscar these days?

Everybody, r64.

Does the actor have to fuck guys?

I don’t think he has to do anything. He’s at a point now where he doesn’t even need to audition for roles.

Wanna see someone who fucked for a role (or two)? Look at who played Lyle Menendez in Monsters.

R62: He’s a “producer” on Bones & All, A Complete Unknown, and Marty Supreme. He will produce aka foot the bill to get leading man roles but yeah he’s destined for theater work or character work.

Lmao not how it works r68

He will win. The film will be successful and widely seen; THE BRUTALIST will not. And the actors' branch of the Academy loves bio-pics.

If he gets so-so reviews he won’t win. My preference is for Ralph Fiennes who is excellent in Conclave.

I think it will depend on how honest the critics are going to be. The box office will factor as well. I don’t want to prematurely declare it a flop as some have suggested but I don’t think it’s going to get Bohemian Rhapsody or Elvis numbers.

R72 of course not. It doesn’t need to make those numbers to be a hit.

What is 100% sure…that the Timmy content will be through the roof up until the Oscars ceremony.

Everywhere you turn, Timmy’s beautiful face will be staring right at you.

What a time it is to be alive

The review embargo lifts December 10th, which is two weeks before the release date. Perhaps it’s a sign of confidence but who knows. Dylan’s style is very polarizing.

[quote]He will win. The film will be successful and widely seen; THE BRUTALIST will not. And the actors' branch of the Academy loves bio-pics.

I would think the fact that Adrien Brody already has an Oscar will greatly help Timmy’s chances also. The real question is how much will the Academy feel Ralph Fiennes is overdue after two past nominations but no wins?

OP do you fangurls call him "Timmy" because you can't spell "Timothee"?

The Academy likes biopics but they like transformational biopics. This is just TimoTay doing an impression of a Bob Dylan impression.

He lacks the masculinity of...

He lacks the masculinity of BARBIE, R79.

[quote]He will win. The film will be successful and widely seen;

I was going to say someone hide the razor blades from R70 when awards season comes round and as expected this steaming pile will be completely ignored, but then I realized we're better off when R70 dies.

And the award for Best Supporting Rodent in a Motion Picture goes to ...

His next project is to start in a live action version of Ratatouille.

When I see the name "Timmy" in relation to this untalented and annoying little person I gag just a little.

[bold]TIMMY ^

The closest I’ve come to getting the whole Chalamet thing has been while watching the last couple of minutes of CMBYN. I don’t find him particularly remarkable. Maybe this movie will change that, but I doubt it.

Right on cue, R85.

Sara Haines of 'The View' said she's hearing "Oscar buzz" for Chalamet. Just like she heard "Oscar buzz" for Whoopi in 'Till' two years ago. We know how that turned out.

He's better-looking than that fugly Joe Locke - I'll give him that much.

The campaigns for The Brutalist and even Anora have been relatively low-key but they will pick up steam after the holidays in January.

Timmy always gives a great performance. He's just delicious.

quote[he loves to campaign his ass off]

That's what happened to it then

R88: Even a few of the influencer reviews said that the biopic is standard but not special and while he's fine, the supporting actors are even better.

vérificatia of size meat? What's taking so LONG for this info to LEAK?

Remove all positive reviews from people who think Timmy is "purdy" and there won't be a lot left.

"Oscar Buzz" is code for "Publicists getting paid to do their job!"

This is an important movie for TimOtay....a test for him and his career. After the huge success of him starring in big tentpole movies it will prove if he can carry a movie on his own without the help of pre-existing major intellectual properties (though I guess you could argue that 'Dylan' is an intellectual property, he's not quite the same as Willie Wonka and Dune...)

If it's a big hit, TimTim is officially a big Box Office Leading Man Star with the pick of scripts and major pull in H'wood.

If it's just an Art House Hit...well, then it's a minor win for him. He's been in several of these...it'll just establish him as a Star who can lead in big properties and arty fare. Not a bad place to be.

It it barely breaks even or just bombs...not so good. He's just the weird looking aging kid who does well if it's a well known property with a role he's suited for. He needs to start mooching around for a good Marvel role.

He can't hide behind IPs forever.

Dylan's style is polarizing but I agree you can make the claim that there is some intellectual property aspect there.

He's had a year of bad press between the diva hit piece that dropped this summer and all things Kartrashian. We'll see if any of that will impact ACU at the box office. I think a true testament to his "star power" will be if he gets in as the sole nomination for ACU. That's hard to do for an actor of any stature and it will be even harder if ACU gets sort of middling reviews.

please don't type "tent-pole" in a Chalamet thread without pics.

How delightfully suggestive, r100. I can't wait to see this. From what I've heard thus far, I like Timmy singing Dylan more than Dylan singing Dylan. I keep calling the movie "No Direction Home," though.

If he does start popping up everywhere, does he bring Kylie? He wants to be a leading man in perpetuity so he has to constantly prove that he’s straight but after the Golden Globes I don’t think anyone is buying the Kartrashian PR anymore.

Blame the Momager, r102.

Not that it really means anything but I noticed that the AARP nominated ACU for picture, screenwriter, and director but not Chalamet.

Both "Wonka" and "Dune: Part 2" are associated with prior popular films, with the latter especially having a ready fan base from the books, much like "Game of Thrones." Hence, Timothée could "carry" each of his abovementioned.

But "A Complete Unknown" is not a movie being clamored for (is it??). There are likely no obsessives just waiting to see a tiny detail depicted "incorrectly." Nobody is hankering to buy a Bob Dylan Action Figurine. Sure, we old Boomers will probably go see the movie out of nostalgia, but maybe not so many in these post-Election days of Liberalism rejected. ("The Times, They Are A-Changin'," for sure.)

Oscar? I predict Fiennes.

According to the latest GoldDerby video, Chalamet is better than the movie. Again, Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen (both annoying) said the same thing about Austin Butler. While they couldn't say much because there's an embargo in place until December 10th, the musical numbers are apparently better than the dialogue scenes and supposedly there's a song every two minutes in the film.

Dylan has said little to nothing about the film...

Of course he’ll be bringing Kylie to awards shows. Starting tomorrow at the Gotham awards. Who can deny true love?

R108: I thought the Golden Globe fiasco would be the last straw.

Something's not adding up. His performance is supposedly great but the film is mid. Why is the film mid if he's in every scene and gives this great lead performance?

R109 Maybe his singing is too good to be authentic as Dylan.

It is electrifying to hear Timothée Chalamet sing Bob Dylan's music. This is the music of my youth/soundtrack of my life, as interpreted by a truly talented singer/actor. Timmy sings it better than anyone I've ever heard. He is no unknown, complete or otherwise. I can't wait until it's available on home video.

[quote] Timmy sings it better than anyone I've ever heard

Hear hear brother

Remember when Kylie rushed to get tested because Tyga was sharing tranny hoes with Charlie Sheen?

A poster here said if the test comes back bad, Kris will roll out a spinoff called ‘Kylie’s POZ Life’

He looked like a stoned Hitler at the Gothams.

[quote]Something's not adding up. His performance is supposedly great but the film is mid. Why is the film mid if he's in every scene and gives this great lead performance?

R109, Because it's a musical biopic, a genre that has long been known as being both incredibly formulaic and a great showcase for actors. "Great lead performance, the movie's only okay" has been the standard line on even the most acclaimed biopics from the past twenty years or so.

The critical consensus for A Complete Unknown is entirely predictable.

R115: They had to reshoots in late August because Norton stole the show from Chalamet.

He's a stick figure with hair.

Timmy face and form are a work of art

Truly the most beautiful actor of the present day

Timothée Chalamet On Immersing Himself In Bob Dylan – “The Greatest Education A Young Artist Could Receive”:

Chalatrashian.

He’s never gonna win an Oscar.

He’s gonna win many Oscars.

Oh, so Timothee studied his icon for FIVE years, r119, and gets no mockery a la Austin (the actual answer, r118) who claimed to study Elvis for 3 years in order to depict a career of two decades, and at least Austin had the excuse of his film's being put on hold in Australia because of Covid.

Chalamet is 28 and about to hit a wall in looks and age. He's been nearing that wall for about two years. I'm saying he has been losing his striking looks of his twink years.

Who knows if his face will go through the next 5-7 years and come back mature and handsome as a man.

I see little evidence that he will transform into a stunning looking mature male actor. He's by no means ugly, but he's not exceptional looking at the moment.

R124: His fan base is getting older too.

Reality would like a word with you r124

R119: You're not that young fag.

He’s never gonna win an Oscar.

He’s gonna win many Oscar’s.

[quote]Oscar’s

You really are a special breed of tard, R129.

Autocorrect tard r130

Sure, tard R129/R131.

Sure.

Agree with r124.

I posted a couple of years ago that Chalamet's career is like a comet that's brilliantly streaking across the sky and he has to gather all the pixie dust he can now.

All because the appeal of his unique facial features relies on him being young.

He's pre-Yoda now.

R124 and r133 give me the perfect chance to prove them wrong by spamming Timmy’s beautiful face all over this thread

The guy has no personality or suffers from some sort of social anxiety. Last night he spoke only for about a minute and never really looked up as he was reading from a piece of paper.

Yikes, hail the king of the douchey moustache.

I just saw the trailer. I can’t fucking stop laughing. What a fucking travesty. They made this as a joke, right? I see Razzie nominations coming soon.

It is our honor to recognize Timothée, one of the most respected actors of his generation, with the Chairman’s Award.”

Timmy looks like he's play acting, a boy playing in a dress-up box to pretend to be "Bob Dylan" in a little one-act play in the den for his family.

I really NEED Ralph Fiennes to win for Conclave. I was riveted and moved! He is overdue for Best Actor. He was incredible.

MARY ^

Films like these always feel like giant “For Your Consideration” campaigns right from the outset. Created for now purpose than to generate awards “buzz”.

I would give him an award for his lush hair. Otherwise, no.

R144: They rushed into production and made it in five minutes just so he could beat Adrien Brody's record as the youngest Best Actor winner. Brody has had it in the bag since the beginning and the Brody Wave starts now.

[quote] Searchlight Pictures and Imax are teaming to host special screenings of awards hopeful A Complete Unknown a week ahead of its nationwide release on Christmas Day.

[quote] Earlier this week, the film received the Visionary Tribute at the Gotham Awards for Mangold and Chalamet.

Holy fuck! The Apprentice got in everywhere at the Indie Spirits.

Good r155! It deserved some recognition.

Nomination? Most likely. The Oscar? Nope.

The NYFCC jump started the award season by giving Best Actor to Adren Brody for the Brutalist which was cited as Best Picture.

No Timmay, R158?

Dear me.

No R159 but the Academy and the NYFCC often differ in their choices. I'm predicting the Golden Globes will give Timmay Best Actor Musical/Comedy and Brody for Drama.

Brody, yes. Mmm no, R160 on Timmay.

R161 what other actors besides Timmay and Brody are considered possible nominees for the GG or the Oscar? They would seem to be the front runners.

Brody’s win reignites his Oscar prospects surrounding his performance in Corbet’s historical epic, which has already been described as a towering achievement. The actor, who made history in 2002 as the youngest-ever best actor Oscar winner for “The Pianist” at age 29, could now become the youngest two-time winner at 51. However, he faces stiff competition from a strong field that includes Timothée Chalamet in “A Complete Unknown,” Ralph Fiennes in “Conclave” and Colman Domingo in “Sing Sing,” who beat Brody at the Gothams on Monday. -VARIETY

R182 Daniel Craig for QUEER

As much as I love Tim O'Tay, and I do, I am most looking forward to seeing The Brutalist. I imagine I will want Adrien Brody to win Best Actor. I have liked Adrien since before Elio had hair on his dick.

"Adren Brody" could use that huge nose to dilate my hole and then be welcome to dump a load in me.

R164 But Craig isn't considered a front runner more likely a probable nominee. Look at the excerpt from the Variety @ R163 he's not even mentioned but yes, I believe he will probably be one of the 5 nominees in a film that will not find an audience.

They must be desperate if they're selling IMAX tickets.

R160: ACU is competing in the drama categories you idiot. He will lose to Adrien Brody and become a four time Golden Globe loser.

Lol! They liked Elle Fanning more than cheap Bob Dylan.

[Quote] ACU is competing in the drama categories you idiot. He will lose to Adrien Brody and become a four time Golden Globe loser.

Not so sure about that R169 After all the Golden Globes in 2016 awarded Matt Damon Best Actor Musical/Comedy for Martian and Martian as Best Musical/ComedyFilm. I'll bet ACU will be in that category and I'll bet that in high school you were voted ,most likely to die alone.🤣🤣🤣

Timothee is getting no love from critics groups.

R182: I bet you Dylan didn’t even watch the movie when he wrote that tweet.

R183, I think Dylan's verb tense proves that: "He's going to be...."

Timmy is the most full of shit little prick to come out of Hollywood in decades. He’s a faux intellectual cosplaying as some artistic savant but he’s just some fucking basic bitch musical theatre douchebag who uses “the craft” to get clap pussy and gives pussies clap. Fuck him! He’s an ugly bag o’bones too. Looks like a human rat hybrid that moved to Paris from rural Indiana to do heroin and “find himself”. And he’s a gay baiting cunt.

You have strong emotions about Timmy r185

Have you sought spiritual counseling? Life is too short to wasting emotional energy upon someone who you don’t know.

As usual, it's Timmy's stans that are annoying, rather than Timmy himself.

R185: For the life of me, I don't get why he's so popular. He's not handsome and he has no personality.

R186 touché, Cunt.

Have you sought spiritual counseling? Life is too short to be wasting emotional energy upon someone who you don’t know, you know like you’re doing over my posts.

R185 So you're saying that you don't find him attractive?

Is everyone excited for the Gen Alpha/Z girls to pretend they’ve been huge Bob Dylan fans and they like literally discovered him?

Bobby Z. is!

R22 I sure hope Fiennes gets it.

I'd like to see Timmy in a remake of "Ben." As Ben.

My manager keeps trying to get me to do "Equus"!

Incidentally, Bob Dylan's son Jakob is hot.

He's 55 now, r196.

OMG. Every time this thread pops up to the top I see it and involuntarily think the same thing:

How can anyone be deluded enough to think that Chalamet has any chance winning an Oscar. It's just so ridiculous it's laughable.

Look. The forgotten 90s are here @ R196.

R199 how can the '90s be forgotten if people are still nostalgic for that decade?

R198: If he gave you his word that he would go away if you gave him an Oscar, would you give it to him?

Still moderately attractive in his 50s r197:

[quote]How can anyone be deluded enough to think that Chalamet has any chance winning an Oscar. It's just so ridiculous it's laughable.

I hope he wins just so cunts like you stroke out. That's what I'd laugh at, uproariously. You would so deserve it.

The Ratboy bias is even worse on GoldDerby. Those queens over there actually think this awful imitation is better than his work in CMBYN.

Please be kind to the many, many DLers who live in bubble of pop culture outside the constraints of time and space

Timmy would thrill the audience with his blatant (if unimpressive) erection when accepting the Oscar.

[quote]I hope he wins just so cunts like you stroke out.

He's not going to win anything R203.

Although Timmy as Dylan is nominated for a "Best Actor" Golden Globe, his movie as a whole is ignored

But "Conclave" and "The Brutalist" are nominated for "Best Picture," "Best Director," "Best Screenplay," "Best Score," and.. .."Best Actor."

The GG winner will therefore be either Brody or Fiennes.

Prince Timmy continues to astound with his knowledge of American football

Timmy Chalamet earns a Golden Globe nomination for his artistry on A COMPLETE UNKNOWN

An Oscar nomination is a certainty

110% Timmy content 24/7 until the academy awards ceremony

What a time to be alive

If Best Actor was as competitive as Best Actress this year, the Academy would throw his “Oscar bait look at me I’m acting” performance in the trash.

R209: Everything with him and sports has always been fake. I’m not saying it’s his way of reminding people he’s straight but it just feels staged.

R210, I must admit, that photo does show that your Timmy has major acting ability.

THR review:

Deadline:

Yeah yeah we know the critics will be kind to him.

Sour grapes ^

Chalamet has that big-screen conventional, commercial appeal.

That's apparent because it's just factual that both the Dune movies and that ridiculous, oh so stupid, yet appealing "Wonka" movie were financial hits.

I've argued that he has to make his movie star career now because his particular, unique facial features aren't going to age well.

Still, he has to carry "A Complete Unknown". It'll be interesting to see what the box office will be on it, or, if it's one of the "prestige" releases where Oscar and GG noms will happen even if the movie isn't a big hit.

I’m getting my kiss cam face ready.

Timmy losing thousands of followers on IG in spite of his intense media blitz. People blaming the Charmies because of the Hammer unfollow, lol.

Proof from a legitimate source r220

Or you are just lying out of your prolapsed ass, as usual

Interesting (and positive) reviews in the trades, but both confirm what's been stated on the board: there will be no informative, truthful or definitive biopic of Dylan until after his death.

A COMPLETE UNKNOWN will be another triumph for Timmy

Our Prince has had quite a good year

It’s 73% on Rotten Tomatoes. A giant meh for Timmy.

68 on Metacritic with 25 reviews..

I loathe the appellation "Tour de Force". Pretentious and inflated bullshit.

R226: This is what you call a tour de force performance?

The cast looks so dreary in those premiere photos. Maybe they sense that the film is a ticking timebomb.

The faintest of praise for both TC ("doesn't disappoint"; "gets the...voice right") and movie ("enjoyable").

Looking at the photo in r29, Timothée could have done double-duty and simultaneously made "Wall of Sound: The Phil Spector Story."

That was re: r229.

I still can't believe anybody believes that he could win an Oscar for this! Hilarious! LOL

The Academy believes r232

And they’re the only ones who matter

Yet, they’re both unstoppable r234

And you will hear Timmy’s voice and see Timmy’s face on every screen until you die

And we will laugh at the distress it causes you

[quote] Bob Dylan sucks

While I don't go that far, still, I never "got" Bob Dylan. Part of that is because R&B is first in my heart.

Still, once I matured and really took-in the words to "Like a Rolling Stone", I do appreciate his talent.

His observations in LARS are nothing new or original. He's just another human indulging in Schadenfreude, the essence of that song.

Yet, his tone in LARS is so personal and bitter, the images he paints with his words so evocative, I can't deny LARS is compelling.

But the rest of his catalogue, to me, is "meh".

R233, Not yet.

R235, I think some agency must be at work for that. As in, an effort made.

Timmy is in the Tour de France? Won't his big cock get in the way? Who is Rob Dylan? Unknown?

R236, Dylan's "Greatest Hits: Part II" comprises some of his best songs, IMO, particularly "If Not For You" and "Lay Lady Lay." Not "socially conscious," just beautiful.

R232: I think the Charmies or whatever the hell you call them these days just will never get over the double whammy of him losing to Oldman and then getting snubbed the following year for Beautiful Boy. They just cannot get past it. All he has to do is have a pulse and deliver one line and these batshit crazy fans will demand that he be given an Oscar.

The DM says, in toto of TC, "He captures [Dylan] wonderfully....Most impressively he does all his own singing and [guitar] playing.....Much more than just a pretty face."

The rest of the review is about Dylan himself; how he is still an enigma---an unknown---at the end; the storyline; and the film's "strange omissions."

My Timmy! So proud… I knew he would be an Oscar, Golden Globe and Bafta winner. In tears right now.

Mark my words: Timmy will be an EGOT before he is 40

Ratboy’s PR is certainly out in tour de force.

R244, And then our first Rap President! Yes, I can see it now!

I'm not sure if this is before or after Timmy is the first man on Mars!

Prince Timmy’s STUNNING musicality.

Grammy nomination is a lock.

LOL @ Grammy nomination!

R247, In which category, if you are actually serious? Comedy Album?

Dylan's nasally tone isn't that difficult to mimic!

Timée’s on the soundstage Goin’ on a rampage Listen to that accent They tell me that he’s hellbent Look out kid It’s something you did You called him Tim Now he’s feeling kinda grim He’s Dylan on the call sheet Listen to the drumbeat Watch out for the p.a. They’re sendin’ you back to L.A.

The Charmies will never accept that he lost to Oldman. It doesn't matter to them that he's sucked in everything he's done since CMBYN.

What’s a Charlie r252?

You’re living in the past old man

Dune 2? Wonka? The coming dominance of A Complete Unknown?

Your distress will be delicious

R253, It says "Charmies."

Secondly, nobody remembers "Wonka" or "Dune: 2." Box Office or no, they are already forgotten.

Box Office means nothing either way, re: awards. E.g., "The Whale" had only about $50M in Box Office stats, yet won the AA for "Best Actor" and more.

Yes R254. Nobody will remember in 40 years Wonka or its lead actor.

Once a Chalatrashian, always a Chalatrashian.

You might to get your memory checked r254 because Wonka and Dune 2 were major hits commercially and at the box office within the last 12 months

His PR is still selling the classy, sophisticated, artistic nonsense to his fans. He's just like the Kartrashians. I despise the frauds of all kinds.

The real Bob Dylan has an Oscar for Times Have Changed from the movie Wonder Boys. I guess Dylan was okay with Chalamet playing him since he would have had to give approval for his songs to be used in the movie.

R258 has stated her very prissy boundaries

OP- You forgot to mention the Tour De Force performance his SCRAWNY ASS gave in the 2017 movie Call Me By Your Name.

Oof La La ….hot French ASS ^

Joan Baez does a pretty good Dylan impersonation.

Begins at 2:17

I know, r257. That wasn't my point.

NS, S, r259.

R262, One might wonder what the non-cartoonified original looks like.

When will this mediocre film be released and how much money do you think it will make? My guess - $64 million.

With a not so good film on his hands, look for the meme actor to trot out the reality star just to get some publicity that is not talking about the bad biopic. Timothée Chalamet/Bob Dylan Biopic “A Completely Unknown”/Kylie Jenner (Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Spotted on Rare Public Date Night at A Complete Unknown Premiere)

Try again grandpa ^

It sounds like Timothee's Iron Lady. IOW, he's great, the movie is not. It definitely doesn't have any buzz, but why would a standard bio film on Bob Dylan (who is not a pleasant singer or person) have any mainstream power?

GO TIMMY

[quote] A COMPLETE UNKNOWN – 3

Best Picture

Best Actor – Timothée Chalamet

Best Supporting Actor – Edward Norton

R266: I guess he said no to more red carpets after the Golden Globes fiasco.

That's a very flat and scrawny ass R261. Completely unfuckable.

Let us know when he wins something, r269.

Oh, and r269? Check your signature. 😉

R268 Dylan had a way with words and wrote lyrics that other songwriters can only dream of.

TV alert: TC is on Colbert’s show tonight.

I was going to go to bed but I'll stay up to watch. I've never seen him interviewed.

R271: The whole package is completely unfuckable.

Facial hair and an orange scarf.

R278: Sunglasses too.

Rat moustache. How fitting.

He butchered it Takes a Lot to Laugh It Takes a Train to Cry in that clip. One of my favorite songs, Tim don't do that again.

He's nervous, observe the bouncing leg.

R282: Because he knows his movie is a total dud and that his and Norton's performances are not all they're cracked up to be.

He seems like an amiable person.

I like him. Seems like a nice kid.

I like him more because he enrages the pathetic losers of DL

Starting to see the occasional clip and still from this movie. The make up and costumes make him look hilarious. God this is gonna be a great movie, but for the wrong reasons.

R285, He's likeable enough.

R274 and r268, Dylan had an extraordinary "Met the Moment" life. He passionately embraced the 60s Zeitgeist and sired songs of social protest, of love and longing, of the Changing of the Generational Guard embodied by JFK, and more.

Older than a Baby Boomer, Bob Dylan spoke to us. Seemed to "get" us. So he became our troubadour, whether he liked or admitted it or not (to Ed Bradley, he denied it).

I had the famous psychedelic rainbow poster of Dylan tacked on my bedroom ceiling when I was a teen. In my early 20s I played "If Not For You" constantly.

Now in my 70s, I will go to see this movie for the memories, but I loved "Elvis" too much to hope Timothée is Oscar-worthy!

When do they announce next year's Oscar nominees?

R290: January 17th. Interesting discussion about his “presidential” campaign to get an Oscar.

Watched him on Colbert and then GMA this morning. He comes across well. Patient with the same questions. He always seems nervous. Never gets any personal questions not related to the movie. Someone asked his ex, Lily Rose Depp, about him and she offered high praise for his acting. Course no one would ask him about her or Kylie or ask why Hammer unfollowed him after 8 years. His leg would probably bounce through the ceiling!

His PR approves the questions that will be asked ahead of time. He’s never really confirmed or denied any relationship: Lily, Kylie, Eiza. He can’t avoid personal questions forever. Personally, I don’t even care about the Hammer unfollow. His PR still sells the artsy, sophisticated facade to the fandom despite all things Kartrashian.

The campaign is very strong. Norton and Fanning have been equally pushing it.

What campaign? No one cares. The rat looks very unappealing with short hair and a moustache. He's lost his luster, which as we know was primarily his long hair and the unique spelling of Timothy.

Barbaro is supposed to be very good in this, as Joan Baez. I'm hoping if this film does well, she gets a "spin off" of her own telling Joan's story. I'd rather pay to see that than a biopic on sourpuss Bob D.

You’re so sweet and naive r295

Timmy will be tormenting your sick mind for decades

You are bringing this on yourself. A normal person wouldn’t harbor this intense hatred and jealousy for an actor who didn’t know. Have you tried meditation or a mood stabilizer drugs?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from The Guardian

Bad hirsute days abound. Austin got a close buzzcut, Barry Keoghan has gone ice-blond, and Timmy's 'stache looks like some Victorian stage-villain.

Timmy mustache is for a role r299

R299 He still looks better than Joe Locke.

The greatest actor of his generation

R302 Brick her mouth up immediately.

Americans under 50 do not know Bob Dylan. And Dylan must be below zero interest to young people all over the world. He's more than a complete unknown. He's a do not care.

Were Americans under 50 familiar with Elvis or interested in him? Wasn't that film with Austin Butler a BO hit? A complete unknown might be relying on Timmy's popularity that it will bring in the crowd that made Dune and Wonka hits. But speaking of do not care that's how I would describe the movie Maria. Is anyone going to see this boring, formulaic and cliched film? I tried watching it on Netflix and I lost interest quickly

It’s a complete unknown as to whether this film will be a hit. I’ve heard informally that tracking is weak.

R301, So?

R305, Elvis, like Marilyn Monroe, is a member of the Cultural Pantheon.

TMZ got him and Kylie at the premiere for the movie. They’re still together

He is so kind!

R306: Tracking may be weak but that hasn’t stopped Searchlight from giving it a Barbie, Dune 2, Wicked-esque campaign. It seems like there’s a new profile piece or premiere everyday.

Of course, r399. It's Red Carpet/Premiere/ Awards/Jenner/Gerber/Hadid/Hetero Season.
