Anyone But You is an excuse to watch pretty people in pretty places. That’s the entire draw of the movie, and honestly sometimes that’s enough.
Fun fact: The Aussie ex-girlfriend in that movie plays the mom in Furiosa. Talk about range.
He was also really good in Devotion. Guess he likes being a pilot.
Hitman was a great movie, just saw Twisters over the weekend and it was fun, but the original was definitely better.
I can’t think of a single asshole with a tiny dog.
Paris Hilton leapt immediately to mind.
Didn’t she redeem herself a bit when she started speaking out against those ‘teen boot camps’ that were so popular in the ’90s?
Movie hot dogs?

Just in case you want to see Glen Powell with a big truck.
Or wet.

Wait, he’s coming here? So there’s a chance that I’ll run into this guy if I head across Lamar, and then I still won’t recognize who he is? Cool.
LOL, who was this?
Oh my gosh, there was a debilitating stomach bug going around down here a while ago. I hadn’t felt that awful in years. Was curled up in a ball for a solid week and anything I ate almost instantly came out the other end.
If i hadn’t flunked out of academia and Glen Powell was taking urban studies/urban planning courses at UT he might have been in one of my classes. This would likely have elicited feelings of both superiority and laughable marginal uselessness. So business as usual for the academia struggle. I miss it and though i know i’m wrong i am sure that what happened was entirely my fault. Classic abusive relationship. Anyhow. Glen Powell.
I’m sorry, but Glen Powell can’t hold a candle to the Autopians own SWG!
ヽ(͡◕ ͜ʖ ͡◕)ﾉ
What if they’re actually the same person? I know I’ve never seen them both in the same place at the same time.
(◔ૂ◔) Hmmm.. I think your on to something there!
Or what if they want to drip hot wax on each other? I’m sure they’d both be holding candles then
What? are you talking about John Wick ? 🙂
Well, that escalated quickly

If we’re going to dive into these movies I have a bone to pick about Twisters: In the opening scenes Daisy Edgar-Jones looked like she’s 12 years old. When it was supposed to be 5 years later, she looked 15. I found it hard to believe she had a driver’s license.
I’m pulling a DT here, I’d never heard of Glen Powel until this Tales from the Slack. I never got around to Top Gun Maverick, and I absolutely will not watch Twisters. I’m sick of all the shit from my coming of age getting rebooted.
I haven’t either, TBH.
Top Gun was my number one favorite movies of all times, I went to see the second opus fully expecting to be disappointed in a scenario I thought I had figured out from the trailers.
I was pleasantly surprised and had a good time, even though I had prepared myself to spend 2 hours shitting on that movie.
You should give it a try.
That’s been the consistent message about the new Top Gun, so I MIGHT watch that someday. But there’s just too much stuff from our childhood being brought back and usually ruined.
I’ll put it this way – you’ll enjoy it the same way you’ll enjoy Rogue One or one of the (few) other good Star Wars movies beyond the original trilogy. It manages to remind you, in a lesser but still there way, of what you liked about the original.
I haven’t watched a Star Wars movie since I was maybe 8. I’m not even sure which one it was. Which one has the teddy bears on jet skis in the woods?
Ah Return of the Jedi. I stood in line in the rain w/my mom to see it myself.
If you liked it, watch Rogue One. It’ll remind you of what was cool about the originals, with a unique plot and new characters that won’t be endlessly flogged to death by the franchise.
It honestly didn’t make that much of an impression on me, which is why it’s been 35 years since I watched it. But I’ll consider your suggestion.
I mean, remakes don’t have to suck. See: Battlestar Galactica
Fair point, and if there was just a bit of it here and there that would be fine. But I feel like we’re inundated with it if late, and I’m not having it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, there are some clouds I need to go yell at.
I’m a little surprised no one mentioned his role as an astronaut in ‘Hidden Figures’; it is a fantastic film.
Glen Powell actually portrays John Glenn, which has a fun sort of nominative circularity. And just look at the top listings in the cast – a great collection of talent:

Terrific film.
Glen seems like a chill guy, and adopted a dog while filming Twisters which is cool. I would get some texas BBQ with him.
But his face. Its too dang symmetrical- gives me the uncanny valley feeling. The first time I saw a picture of him, I thought it was one of those ‘mirrored down the middle’ situations. Just too symmetrical.
I wonder if Glen is planning to take Matthew’s class?
Matthew McConaughey (utexas.edu)
Also…
Funny. My time at UT overlapped with McConaughey, Rene Zellweger, and Michael Dell, not that I (or just about anyone else) knew their names at the time. I bet David knows at least one of those names now.
Dude went back to UT? BFD.

Jesus I’m old.
I did my AP exams 11 years before you did your A-Levels, so either you’re not old or I’m even older than I thought.
At this point, I’m pretty sure David’s so committed to the bit that he’d ask who someone was despite watching all of their movies immediately prior.
I never heard of him before this article either. But then, Hollywood has made so much garbage that I’ve tuned it out for a while now.
What, no mention that he got his start via a classic Linklater-fueled path, appearing in one of his nobody-saw-it-then-but-destined-to-become-a-future-cult-classic movies, “Everybody Wants Some!!”
(aka the path for how you know who Matthew McConaughey is)
If you liked Dazed and Confused’s style, you’ll like it. First day of college, 1980.
IDK how Tales From the Slack could’ve mentioned Linklater and not mentioned Slacker.
It’s right there, guys.
Slack Tales Woo-ooo

I also play this song in my head when I write it.
I dont see what the big deal is, it’s not like he’s Stephen Walter Gossin or something
Really. Who cares about a yippy dog when you could have a broken Jag?
Big cats > small dogs
You mean, a broken Jaaaaag.
