@Tania8222 Choosing your rapist cult over your own daughter is indeed a... great preference LOL And yeah I'm being sarcastic. Again.

DLU still the 2nd most popular movie on netflix unbeaten since the release. 10 most popular Netflix movies of all time In 2015, Netflix changed the film industry forever when it purchased the distribution rights to Beasts of No Nation, releasing it in theaters via Bleecker Street and on the streamer on October 16, 2015. Two months later, The Ridiculous 6 became the first film distributed solely through Netflix. Hundreds of films later, Netflix releases original movies globally every single week. Netflix is now one of the most powerful and prolific studios in the world. Because of that, many established and successful filmmakers and actors have worked with Netflix, including Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas), Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog), Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant), and Meryl Streep (Let Them All Talk). From prestige dramas to expensive action blockbusters, many films on Netflix have streamed for hundreds of millions of hours. What are the most popular films (English) on Netflix? Find out below! 2. Don't Look Up - 359,790,000 (2021) What if the world was coming to an end? Would you believe the scientists trying to warn the population of Earth’s demise? That’s the premise of Don’t Look Up, the satirical black comedy by Adam McKay (Vice). Dr. Randall Mindy (Killers of the Flower Moon’s Leonardo DiCaprio) and his student, Kate Dibiasky (Causeway’s Jennifer Lawrence), are two astronomers who discover a comet that will destroy Earth in six months. When they bring this information to President Janie Orlean (Streep), the administration is indifferent, refusing to act and causing widespread panic. Mindy and Dibiasky leak the information to the media, but it gets buried and becomes a non-issue. Thanks to an A-list cast and witty script, Don’t Look Up is an interesting take on how humans would react to the world ending in a universe full of disinformation. The film was nominated for four Oscars and set the record for most hours viewed in one week on Netflix. Source

Not this time, no.

@YouNoMe Well I think it was all a bit predictable to me (beside from maybe the motivation of Julia Stiles character). Alltogether this 2nd part mostly repeated the story of the crazy orphan chick what makes her character kinda boring. They even used the fake teeth again as the grand final I mean... Nothing what she did here was really shocking or surprising anymore. Plus you know already how it all ends when you watched the 1rst movie I don't know if this fact is very helpful for a horror flick. Maybe it works better when you see it as a dark comedy horror sitcom because this family is highly dysfunctional in the most absurd way. But I sat through the whole thing and not every movie can do that anymore LOL To say something positive at last Julia Stiles saved the movie (she still deserves better).

I forgot how insane the 1rst Orphan movie was. Now I'm gonna watch part 2 😅💄🔪

His net worth is around 12 million $. That's a number none of us "regular" people will achieve ever. Some actors (no matter which skin color) also get never nominated for the oscar ever. And he's what a 3 times nominee? This guy needs a serious reality check and then he can go cry in the corner how Leo and the unfair world peed in his bowl of cornflakes. (Even though I don't think he's criticizing Leo in the original interview but more the system of hollywood but still very poorly worded overall). https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/djimon-hounsou-net-worth/

Los Angeles, March 13 '23 (with Garrett Hedlund)

PTA movie update. Be Wary of PTA Rumors … The latest issue of Production Weekly blew up the online film world last night when there was a posting for Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film. The listing stated that Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Rachael Taylor, Joaquin Phoenix and Viggo Mortensen were “mentioned” as being part of the cast. I’m here to tell you that all of this amounts to is just rumors. Production Weekly took whatever intel Jeff Sneider and I have been reporting and molded it into their posting. Fact of the matter is that, yes, DiCaprio is said to be in talks for the film, but Hall, Mortensen, and Phoenix’s inclusion in the cast is purely speculative for now. That’s what I’m being told. What we do know about this mysterious new project is that it is set to shot this July in Los Angeles. Rumors are pointing to it being an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s “Vineland,” but that is, again, pure speculation. PTA has already tackled a Pynchon novel, 2014’s “Inherent Vice.” That turned out to be the most polarizing movie of his career. Pynchon movie adaptations are very risky, his way of writing and telling a story is a stylistic beast of its own. PTA’s last film was the acclaimed “Licorice Pizza” in 2021. He’s not known to jump this fast into another project, but it seems like that’s just what he’s about to do. Source

Blood Diamond Star Gets Brutally Candid About DiCaprio's Best Actor Nod Blood Diamond star Djimon Hounsou slams Leonardo DiCaprio's Best Actor nomination for the film, for which Hounsou was nominated in a supporting role. Blood Diamond star Djimon Hounsou calls out the unfairness of Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar nomination. Released in 2006, Blood Diamond follows the story of three people who are fighting over the possession of a prized Diamond. Hounsou played Solomon Vandy, and despite playing the film’s protagonist, was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the Oscars. Co-star DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role in the same year. Reflecting on Blood Diamond, Hounsou calls out the problematic rhetoric surrounding his Oscar nomination. According to The Guardian, upon hearing that DiCaprio had been deemed a lead actor nominee and his supporting, Hounsou “felt seriously cheated.” Hounsou recalled he was told to be satisfied with his nomination, even when he was struggling to get roles. Hounsou elaborates on his unfair treatment within Hollywood below: "I felt seriously cheated. Today, we talk so much about the Oscars being so white, but I remember there was a time where I had no support at all: no support from my own people, no support from the media, from the industry itself. It felt like: ‘You should be happy that you’ve got nominated,’ and that’s that. I’m still struggling to try to make a dollar! I’ve come up in the business with some people who are absolutely well off and have very little of my accolades. So I feel cheated, tremendously cheated, in terms of finances and in terms of the workload as well. I’ve gone to studios for meetings and they’re like: ‘Wow, we felt like you just got off the boat and then went back [after Amistad]. We didn’t know you were here as a true actor.’ When you hear things like that, you can see that some people’s vision of you, or what you represent, is very limiting. But it is what it is. It’s up to me to redeem that." How Hounsou’s Career Has Been Affected By Systemic Hollywood Problems Unfortunately, Hounsou’s description is not shocking when tracing his acting journey. Hounsou's "very limiting” acting choices are evident by his early track record of playing slave characters. Hounsou had his big Hollywood break playing the lead in the Steven Spielberg historical drama Amistad, and in short, the succession went on to play two more slave roles in Gladiator and The Four Feathers. Hounsou’s lack of name recognition in Hollywood today further highlights his assertion that accolades do not necessarily equal financial prosperity when it comes to the film industry. By the time he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Blood Diamond, Hounsou was a two-time Oscar nominee, having been nominated for the award two years prior for In America. While Hounsou has since gotten roles in big-budget projects such as Captain Marvel and Shazam!, it took several years for his accolades to manifest in high-profile offers. Hopefully, through his roles in both Marvel and DC Films, Hounsou can continue to break free from his initial type casting. Hounsou stars as Wizard in the recently-released Shazam! Fury of the Gods and will play a role in the upcoming Zack Snyder adventure film Rebel Moon. Perhaps, Hollywood can reverse the wrongs of Blood Diamond and give Hounsou a Best Actor nomination for a future project. Source
