Sharper: The Best Sebastian Stan Movie

*spoilers below the cut*

Take note of how I said this is the best Sebastian Stan movie, not Sebastian Stan’s best movie.

Before y’all come for me: I’m not saying his acting in it is poor, but I don’t think this role demanded as much of him as some others. I just said that this is the best movie he’s in, after all. He plays a con artist, and he does it well, which I think says something that the quality of the work is there, in addition to the movie in general. It takes a lot of talent to play someone who is constantly acting and deceiving those around them. Including the audience.

The plot of this movie was set up so interestingly, cut up in multiple sections which covered different characters in each. They are seemingly disconnected, until you see how they all intersect. I was blown away by the intellectual stimulation I got from this storyline and would say it’s probably in my top 10 favorite movies ever.

Now let’s talk about Sebastian himself. I don’t think he looks bad, but his character is a little grody as a person. What else would you expect? In all movies except one, he plays the villain. He’s either hot or a good person, rarely both, and then he’s often a little grody AND a bad person (too often but he considers himself an artist or whatever. Also, is his constant villainy type casting? Better not be.) But anyway, here, I think his appearance paired with his character match well. He’s SUPPOSED to be slimy. He’s SUPPOSED to be sly, cunning, and conniving.

And then for him to be tricked by his own protégé? Expert. Unexpected. Satisfying.

But in all seriousness, his gf/partner playing his mom 🤢

10/10, would watch again and probably will. Just sucked that I had to have Apple TV to watch it. Wish it was a more accessible film because it was my favorite of his and I want everyone to see it

premiere: The Pills – Sanctuary

I’m excited to be premiering the new track off Hoosier band The Pills’ latest release, Take Your Pills. They’re led by Max Barnett, the fiery drummer and vocalist who anchors “Sanctuary” and the rest of the album’s charismatic psych jams (which he wrote, recorded, and produced). This opening track sets a powerful, frenetic tone for the six that follow.

Take Your Pills follows last fall’s Real Cheese, and if you’re among the first 25 preorders you can get both tapes bundled together. Winspear releases this one in a limited run of 100 cassettes on July 8.
