Me as well. What can you say, really? Separate the art from artist and whatever, I guess. And those two were out in the same year. If he didn’t get the Oscar for U.S. I bet he would’ve gotten it for Seven. He’s in like 4 scenes and just crushes all of them. The car scene….he just shits on Freeman (tremendous actor) and Pitt (good actor). Steals the belt.
Now American Beauty is another story. That’s a real rough rewatch given his abhorrent behavior. You’re just, “ahhhhh ehhhhhhh” for 120 minutes.
EDIT and for U.S., apparently Benicio didn’t like his lines nor that he was killed off early so he did his whole mumbling, unintelligible thing in a pseudo-protest. He wins that movie for me. He’s so good. Baldwin is also great “GIMME THE FUCKING MONEY BLALALALALLLA”. You know, Baldwin was offered the Keanu part in Speed but took Biodome (with Pauly Shore) instead. Now I’m rambling but not good job there Stephen.
