    Karl is amazing - Dredd was some of the most underrated acting. He did an entire movie with his eyes completely covered and yet he nuanced, expressive, and entirely real. It's almost unbelievable.

      There's a compound in Des Moines Iowa that is wild. You can see the compound on the hill, it's address snd everything. Rumors around the city is the person that owns it is so wealthy his family name is blacklisted from being researched. I spent months trying to find information about who they were the only solid evidence I came across with multiple sources verified is that under the compound sits a couple hundred antic cars and not ones that ever saw market. If ibwas super wealthy the first thing I'd do is spend my money to keep my name out people's mouths. Look at actors like will Ferrell and Matt Damon.

    I just re-watched Dredd (in 3D) last night and Karl Urban does SUCH a fantastic job in it. That movie never got a fair shake and is so completely underrated. I’d love to see a sequel for it. And for anyone that has seen it but not in 3D, I know that it’s a dying tech but if you can find a 3D TV and a BluRay player (even a PS4 for example), check it out. It’s almost like a painting, especially in the slo-mo sequences, with how much work they put into the various layers to give it depth, perspective, size, and scale. Alex Garland wrote it (28 Days Later, Sunshine, Ex Machina, etc.) and some say he shadow-directed it too. Anyhow, would love to see Dredd 2.
    I also loved Urban in the Riddick series, and DOOM, and a lot of other roles in films that weren’t huge but have sort of become cult classics over time as opinions change.

    Wow. I was not expecting big bad "Butcher" to be so anxious and shy. Sure, he pulled it off without a hitch (obviously not his first Rodeo), but his nerves were apparent as he sped through each story and exchange. He even appeared a bit star-struck in Stephen's presence. Understandable but unexpected. Goes to show that even talented actors who face cameras as a career can still experience stage-fright and the associated anxiety that affects so many of us when speaking before a live audience. Gives me hope that I can push through the fear and, with practice, find some measure of confidence in front of a crowd.

      Was he in Bourne Supremacy too? I'll have to rewatch it. I loved his character in RED. And I really want to hear some behind-the-scenes stories about having to fight Bruce Willis. 🤩

    Karl is definitely the kind of guy you see in random movies over the years and you go "Actually, I remember this man from that one movie, he was really good in it!".
    For me, I remember him from Riddick.

      There is a rumor they may make a tv series with Karl Urban. If that happens and it does well, we may get a Dredd sequel

    Karl Urban is truly the greatest actor in sci-fi and fantasy that has knocked each role he takes on out of the park and elevates anything he touches. When I see Karl Urban in a project, I know it's going to be good.

    I've been saying it for years, even before people bandwagoned on him, Karl Urban should be in every video game adaptation and comic book movie. They criminally underused him with that stupid character in Thor. He should be "a" list marvel hero or villain. He is just too good.

    • @MorriganWarrioress
      @MorriganWarrioress Před 2 lety +10

      I'm not even the biggest Marvel-comic nerd, and I can tell you that the character they based him off of for THOR3 was an interesting character who had a really cool story arc that allowed him a meaningful death that served as a redemptive arc AND allowed Thor to save the day ("I can't save the day, but I can save you so that you can save the world" kind of thing). Instead, he got to be Cate Blanchet (who is amazing in THOR3, no diss here)'s errand boy, the punching bag for jokes, and has a blink and you'd miss it redemptive death at the end. [Granted, they did even less with Lee Pace's character in the MCU, and Ronan the Accuser has an amazing arc in the comics]
