Honestly don't understand why they keep putting him in movies

- Well it's produced by Leto, so ask him why he put himself in it.

  Oh, damn, someone needs to take his money away he keeps spending it on terrible actors

  Ooh ooh, I know this one!

- He's a pretty good actor. Paul Allen, Angel Face, the dude from my so-called-life. He's a lot like Gary Oldman in that mainstream audiences don't really clue in that it's the same guy from that other movie they watched.
  
  Only when the internet figured Gary Oldman out they thought he was the most underecognized actor ever. When they figured Jared Leto out they demanded he never be cast in anything ever again.
  
  Probably because he's a creep.

  Yeah... Gary Oldman is on the same level as the Morbius/worst Joker guy.... GTFOH

  Angel Face getting shit kicked was pretty cool.

- Is he considered a bad actor?

  He's a... method actor. He's one of those guys who will literally live in the role until production is finished, on and off camera.
  
  He got a lot of hate for playing Joker in Suicide Squad (the first one), not only because their version of Joker was a cringey edge lord instead of the brilliant psychopath he's usually portrayed as, but also because, while he was "in character," he did a bunch of awful things to his costars, including mailing them used condoms. All because his character would've done those things and he was trying to live out the role in real life.
  
  Then he acted in Morbius and was again awful to deal with until filming was wrapped, and it sparked a whole debate over whether method actors were even good actors in the first place.
  
  I mean, as far as I'm concerned, if you can't seamlessly slip into a role when the cameras turn on, then you're kind of a shitty actor. If you need to adopt the role and be that character for the entire production timeline, then you kind of suck at acting. But that's just my opinion.

  I don't think he was until his ego caught up with him. Then whatever you see him in, it's just Leto 'acting', not the character. No immersion.
  
  He also runs a sex cult so there's that too.

  Everybody says his joker is the best

- Same reason why half of MTVs time slots are ridiculousness.
  
  Awful people with money become producers and self insert themselves into everything.

I don't care who stars in it, unless they can get daft punk back together to do the score I give zero fucks

- Bruh, they didn't even get last Tron movie's director back. You know, the guy who went on to direct Top Gun: Maverick.
  
  Instead they got the guy who directed Maleficent 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean 5.

  Bro only deals in sequels.
  
  17
  
  Huh, didn't even know there was a maleficent 2

- I always refer to Tron Legacy as 'Daft Punk ft Tron' because the music made that movie in my opinion.
  
  13
- There are, in fact other brilliant electronic artists who can do as much justice to Tron's legacy as Daft Punk did, pun intended. Speaking of which, I'd nominate Justice to name a well known one.

  I liked justice for a short while, but they seem a little limited in their range. maybe M83? They killed it on Oblivion

- I might be interested if they can get Wendy Carlos out of retirement to do the score.

“You wish now that our places had been exchanged…that I had died and ~~Boromir~~ Bruce Boxleitner had lived.”

“Yes. I wish that”

I have mixed feelings about Leto, but I do have a hankering for another Tron movie. The last one was like the first one but on steroids with Daft punk and everything. Listened to that soundtrack a million times.

Hope they/he doesnt mess it up to bad....

- Check director's record.
  
  This is probably going to be made by committee movie going through a checklist with standard action setpieces made by CG team with minimal to no input from the director.
  
  14
  
  Your probably right.. Max manus is really good tho.

I dunno, he's weird as fuck, but he can turn in interesting performances because of that. Could work.

12
- I thought he was great at playing a creepy megalomaniac in Blade Runner 2049
  
  11
  
  Absolutely. And as a creepy sycophant in fight club.
  
  Okay, so he mainly does creepy and crazy well lol.
  
  That's only partially a joke, but he did start out doing melodrama on tv, and did well. Did great in requiem for a dream as his first real lead.
  
  He does method and takes it too far, and he really does specialize in roles that are what you might call bat-shit crazy, with a bat-shit crazy movie as an exception in his supporting roles when he plays normal.
  
  But I can't really say he screws up many of the roles. Even the notorious joker turn was in a badly written movie that edited out most of what he did.

  Playing Jared Leto works for Jared Leto.
  
  3
- His best role was in American Psycho cuz Christian Bale kills him.
  
  9
  
  He is also great in Fight Club where Edward Norton beats him to a pulp.

  Lmao! Dark, but hilarious

... to Mars

- Can't believe this thread was up for 2 days before someone made this joke.

Oof.

Damn. I feel sorry for his co-stars.

5
Ugh. One of my favorite non-franchises is becoming a franchise and Leto is taking it there. Oh well. Fingers crossed.

Disinterest? Disgust.

I hate Jared Leto cause I never be able to identify it's him until credits are rolled. I don't mind his acting or personal life but it's so defeating to me when I can't identify.
