No doubt about it, but still unhealthy.
The physical hazards of being an Oscar-winning actor. Or a professional football player or supermodel, for that matter.
Watched Nightcrawler last night - very creepy indeed and a very good performance by J!
I just saw it, too. I liked it a lot. Jake was scary. But then again, this is the first Jake movie I've even dared see for a while. That one about the kidnappings or whatever sounded way too disturbing for me.
This one was on the bearable side of disturbing. And the concept was great. But in defense of journalism, I'll have to say that I don't think the "If it bleeds it leads" credo is actually much of a thing, and a news director would never opt to withhold publicly available information in order to make a story more enticing. For that matter, no news director would flat-out tell her videographer that she wanted footage involving rich white people being attacked by criminals of color. Not to say journalists are never biased in their reporting, but they wouldn't just talk about it like it's a completely acceptable normal thing. When they mention racial preference in reporting at all, it's about seeking more fairness and diversity, not less. I get that it was supposed to be kind of a sketchy station, but geez.
However, if you chalk those up to cinematic license and ignore them, which I couldn't but maybe most people could, it was a very good movie. Better than Birdman, which I saw the week before.
