Daniel Day Lewis Retires

?? Those are the only good actors left?

There are literally hundreds as good as those 3.

You know, DDL retiring might finally give me an excuse to watch There Will Be Blood

Like who?

Also, Thank You for reminding me about Fassbender. That bloke is a bloody treasure.

Also, don't you dare say Will Smith or Leo.

He has earned it

Max Von Sydow looks younger today than he did in The Exorcist

True, but one of those is for Supporting. So in terms of Best Actor, they would both have 3 each.

He took a long break from acting before to become a cobbler, until Scorsese brought him back with his hardened performance in Gangs of New York. Maybe he'll come back when he's really old for one last film, but who knows. A friend of mine believes he's sick and he wants to (get better / die in peace) He's always been a private guy, so this doesn't surprise me.

The way it was reported did hint that there was a bit of "personal reasons" about the decision. Hope I'm wrong and he just wants to spend a bit more time doing things retired people do.

Ouch. He hasn't been in that many roles, so this kinda hurts to hear even though I haven't seen him in a movie yet.

I definitely want to however. I've seen a clip from Lincoln, and how he portrayed him already had me fascinated.

This really ruined my DAY yesterday. Get it?

Not really. I just wanted to make a joke. Shut up!

Daniel Call-it-a-Day Lewis.

I'm going out on a limb here...no matter what Daniel Day Lewis may have announced yesterday, I have a feeling that someone in his life, whether it be an agent, a publicist, his wife, whoever, but someone is going to convince him that he cannot retire without winning a fourth Oscar and he will come out of retirement to make it happen.

The best movie of the century!

Fassbender - An Exception
Weaving - Decent Character Actor.
Defoe - Decent
Shannon - Decent
Mendelsohn - No.
Mortensen - Good
Bardem - Good
Sheen - NO!
Waltz - His Potential is wasted most of the time
Dano - Still has a lot to prove
WH Macy - 'Okay'
Bridges - Good at playing variations of himself (except for TBL.)
Phoenix - An Exception
Oldman - An Exception
Rockwell - Average
Harrelson - Overrated
von Sydow - A Definition Exception
Mconaughy - Great at playing variations of himself
Kingsley - Decent
Norton - A Potential Exception
Gosling - A Favorite of Mine. But that's just Biased.
Penn - An Exception
Gyllenhall - On his way to becoming an Exception

Leto - A Potential Exception
Malkovich - Decent
Duvall - Essentially Quit 'Acting'
Downey Jnr - Overrated
Robbins - No.
Turturo - No.
Goodman - Decent.
Walken - Better than Average. His Best was 'The Dear Hunter.'

How can I blame you though?)

Mikkelsen - An Exception
R Jenkins - Average
C Affleck - On his way to become an Exception.

Kitano - Decent
Cage - Better than Average but just doesn't care anymore.
Arkin - Better than Decent but just doesn't care anymore.
BB Thornton - Decent
Voight - Better than Average but just doesn't care anymore.
JK Simmons - Amazing at playing Variations of Himself
(with a few non-variation exceptions)
Edgerton - Still has a lot to prove.


I guess my comment could be called exaggerated. But No, because Day Lewis was the definition of Acting. Very Few Actors could achieve what he did, and what he did was lead by example of what an ACTOR should be. There are very few that do lead by example. He still deserves his retirement. What a Bloody Legend

Also, you forgot about Colin Firth. But nevermind...

He's winning for Phantom Thread. It's probably the earliest Oscar Lock in history.

Goodbye daniel, welcome paul
