Should We Stop Method Acting? - Nostalgia Critic 

There should be a remake month

Spider-month, Spider-month, Does whatever a spider ... um ... cunth. ... Can I say that? :-O

YES!!!!! Let's Go!!!! 😁

I thought he already did all the Spiderman movies?

rogermwilcox I suggest you go to your local bar. You might find Dr Psycho there. Maybe you two can strike up a conversation.

You should totally write that!!

That's actually a good idea.

BRILLIANT!

In Shadow Of The Vampire, the director of Nosferatu hires an actual vampire to play the lead role and tells the rest of the cast and crew he's a method actor. Great movie.

I would totally watch that!!!

I've been a tweaker and I never did anything like THAT. I think Leto is on a level all his own hahah

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Alex Dinu Surprisingly, Pheonix _and_ Leto are good singers.

Well, you can't spell method with out meth...

Alex Dinu At least Leto’s Joker didn’t look like a hobo.

You only hear about method actors when they're being assholes. There's not a story about Daniel Day-Lewis being a dick as Lincoln (as far as I know) but as the Butcher in Gangs of New York he tried to fight everyone. Reports on method actors is just like real life. No one cares about the good, you only hear horror stories.

Viggo moreston (i always spell his last name wrong) always goes deep into character and I have yet to hear a mean word about him

Does that mean Pattinson has been method acting almost every day of his life?

@@thatguyoverthere11 Is he an asshole?

Plot twist: Tom Hanks is secretly an asshole, but he method acts as Tom Hanks.

I still love that line & probably is an accurate line towards method actors

The dudes are emerging

But in reality he'a a dude playing a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude

Yo, I heard you like dudes...

*...what?*

I trained in method acting and I agree 100%

Exactly what I was going to write.

NAILED IT..

I think Micheal B. Jordan did method acting for a few months for his role as Killmonger and he didn't bother anyone with it. He stayed to himself.

I think there are two types of method acting 1) the De Niro - Way. Incredibly meticulous percise, even going so far as to surgically break his own teeth for playing Max Cady. Now that's just absolute commitment 2) The Daniel Day Lewis. I'm calling it that even though it is actually completely inaccurate. I'm not saying he did this in any other movie, since i actually never heard of him doing so; still, this is Daniel Day - Lewis walking around the set of Gangs of New York threatening people with his axe. Now that's just an excuse for being an asshole

@DeMarcus T British spelling

Saved me half an hour of my life.

Bale in the fighter, Day Lewis in Lincoln, and Phoenix in joker Leto in Dallas buyer's club, were some of the best performances ever put to screen

Also John Simm and Richard Armitage. John Simm went method to play the Master in Doctor Who and never tortured anyone else.

@@witnessme4352 i don't mean to be harsh but i really wasn't a fan of John Simm's performance as the master. it just felt too shouty and over the top. i mean i'm sure John Simm is a fine actor but he was just given an impossible task having to follow after Derek Jacobi.

Don't forget Heath Ledger.

I heard can be difficult on set. Still a great actor though.

Best thing about him? He refused to show up in The Hobbit.

“I was just acting” is the Hollywood version of “it’s just a prank brooo!!!”

@@Fluffkitscripts bad method actors are like bad d&d players: - You just killed all your party! Why did you do that?! Why did you ever burn the city!? - But theeeeaets what my cheeaaeracter would doo!

Viggo Mortensen is a pretty cool guy and I did greatly enjoy his performance as Aragorn.

You made my point but better than I did it haha, thanks.

And Stewart was a little better than some of the above mentioned actors. (IMHO)

You should read the story of the bar scene in "It's a Wonderful Life" (where George Bailey has a tearful breakdown). Stewart did a perfect take during a long distance practice shot, but refused to redo it for a normal close up, knowing he couldn't do it again. Frank Capra had to go back to the long distance shot and blow up the frames for the movie.

@@zerofox1551 to be fair though, Jimmy Stewart was going through a rough time when he filmed It's a Wonderful Life because he had just finished his war service and he had severe ptsd. And u can see it in some scenes, like when he blows up at his family, a lot of that came from a very real place even if it wasn't necessary method acting.

Reminds me of a line from Drake & Josh: "It's acting, you show up, you say some stuff, you go home."

Well, to be fair, doesn't he lick himself at some point? Or did I hear that bit from a review of the nightmare fuel trainwreck wrong?

Really...have you seen the west end musical

Well, I heard Taylor Swift was giving it ago. Yeah! Taylor Swift!

Well, I mean, everyone on that movie was forced to go to “Cat School” where they would learn how to act like a cat, so maybe that technically counts?

Meth acting

Meth Head Acting is a new kind of method acting

I'm studied Method acting for 2 years and i agreed.

Not sure if Rutger Hauer was a method actor or it was just the persona he projected but C. Thomas Howell said when they filmed The Hitcher together he mostly stayed away from Hauer because he was flat out scared of him.

Letícia Valentim Hah! Tell that to Stanley kubrick (I heard he was a real jerk to Shelly Duvall during filming of The Shining)!

He didn’t do it just to be sadistic, he did it to get her to deliver a very specific performance. She was allowed to exit the project if she really had a problem with it

@@frankmerker630 Hmm, you've got a point there. 🤔

Well said

If they're using it as an excuse to be a dick, then seeing that kind of acting as 'crutches' is perfectly valid. I don't think, however, that it could be called the same way for everyone who does it. People are different and some find it harder to 'shed' their own skin, so to speak. Seems to me, more often than not, it's the primadonnas who are hard to work with as themselves before getting into character who fall into this category.

As an "actor" I've experienced this so many times with other people and even myself which is fair

What's interesting to me is that, if it bothers people for you to be method acting, then you're probably not doing a good job. Because aren't the people you're acting like supposed to actually function in society too? (Unless you're performing as someone disabled, which I have to admit, has to be extremely difficult and I could understand method acting this way... unless he shat himself or something. Then again, this is the kind of thing you'd probably have to method act if you're trying to understand the humiliation that could entail. I just am not a caretaker.)

Couldn't agree more. It's been a kong time since I did theater, but it only took getting into costume and make up for me to get into character. Granted, comparing my experience with a professional actor is apples and oranges, but acting is acting. You either have the ability to play another person or you don't. No need to torture those around you.

That's so interesting👍

Tim Daly's sister Tyne Daly was a method actor. Not sure why both brother and sister had those epic high arched eyebrows and cheekbones. Tyne first appeared opposite Clint Eastwood in The Enforcer as a qouta hiree. She went on to have a famous critically acclaimed tv drama. When her character developed cancer she went through an, "Can't you see, I have cancah!!" phase. Ironically Daly did develop cancer in real life. I tend to think its possible to over visualize and actually talk your physical self into a very real condition. Which may be one of the real dangers of method acting.

@John Stonik Jokes on you : some people can develop cancer because of severe emotional trauma...which can also happen from method acting while being taken it too seriously. That guy was just explaining bad and a bit too much confused, while you, on the other hand, need a lot more to learn about that.

Even the actors who played the bullies were sweethearts to the younger actors. Everyone on the IT sets have been so professional to each other & take care of each other

As in motion capture?

Jinhunter Slay No, as in while in the recording booth Jack Black would often act out various kung fu moves

@@zombieguy4444 lol, sounds like him

I can see him doing that.

Of course he did. This is Jack Black we're talking about.

My guess is that when he was first cast in the role, he looked at what Heath Ledger did to get in character and how it got him a lot of praise, so he simply said "I can do better". I'm guessing that when he won the oscar he let the praise get to his head and was unable to keep his ego in check like he was saying "I'm on top of the world, I'm untouchable, I'm awesome, NOTHING'S GONNA STOP ME NOW!" and when he was offered the role, being aware of how much people praised the hell out of Ledger's portrayal and what he did to earn all that praise and recognition, he clearly wanted a big piece of that pie and probably felt he could achieve even more enormous success with his portrayal, he could keep that train of fame and praise he's received going, he wanted his portrayal to be talked about and loved just as much as Ledger's if not more so, he got so high on the level fame, attention and recognition he had he let it cloud his judgement and was likely less concerned with wanting to make the movie work than he was with just wanting to blow up his already inflated ego further.

@@tristanhartup4936 absolutely, it was all for the publicity Because the things he did (sending rats/dead pigs/used condoms/bullets to his coworkers) aren’t really “joker” things. Sure The Joker is macabre and twisted, but not really like that. It was just Leto being a douche

Same, and my respect for him was already pretty high after he walked out of an interview he did for Joker when the interviewer ambushed him with a really unfair question about how his performance might inspire more people to do mass shootings.

gottfer A show is a pubic thing. Acting and how people get into and stay in character is different and personal for almost everyone. I knew what I was saying.

@gottfer Actually, the true main purpose of acting (the actor's job, if you will) is to bring the director's vision to life. Whether or not you agree with the director on certain things concerning character or motive, it is HIS/HER movie or project. That is to say, a good director will listen to the opinions of their actors... but they are (read as SHOULD BE) the final decision as to what is and isn't within character. A good actor will do their best to embody the character for the stage/camera and bring what the director envisions the film to be to life.

@gottfer Did you know that isn't the purpose of acting and you're behaving like a petulant college drop out?

Here’s a little secret, everyone plays themselves in every role.

jtq1995 it’s actually to bring the playwrights vision to life more then the directors.

Neil Patrick Harris stole every scene he was in to the point where there's no real comparison.

@Black Ninja true, but they both have the charisma of, in D&D terms, a level 20 bard who happens to be a vampire.

That would be fun :)

Haha but they're both new I'm not old.

I don't think doing research to be accurate necessarily qualifies as "method acting', although I know Hoffman subscribes to they style.

What does the Grinch have to do with the CIA or surviving torture?

@@catalyst3713 look at the costume according to Carrey it took about 2 to 8 hours a day applying the make-up and being covered from head to toes and even eyes as he had to wear large contact lens and wearing them also had him not see very good and also because of the fake snow it attracted , moving in it was not comfortable at all and no one noticed that in the theatre but Jim could not move properly , that's what the studio and producer wanted so a CIA expert was brought to train him as Jim felt that the costume was torture .

And even despite that, Rain Man is still just another movie that doesn't get how to do autistic characters right.

Dustin Hoffman was a douche to Meryl Streep, even getting to slap her to get the best performance out of her like that. Probably not the best way

Heck even with Sonic he did his research and did the role for a deeper reason, he wanted to connect with his grandson more which is why he took the role and played Sonic games with him to get the hang of the franchise, and he would purposely lose in the game because he’s Robotnik and wants Sonic to die

One of the child actors in the 90s sitcom The Nanny was homeless. He and his mom lived in their car when he got the role. A lot of actors come from those kinds of very humble beginings.

that's really sad actually :c glad his success seemed to have helped him

@gottfer his family lived out of their car. I think in an interview he said "I just thought we went camping for a really, really long time"

He's said that before.

@@almightycinder While that is true, he made it 100% official this time. As last time it was because he became an apprentice to do Shoe-making and he came back 3 years later. It's now been 3 Years since Phantom Thread and he's still retired.

I think he was referring to Brando's performance, but even then I've never heard anyone say that before. Brando's performance as Colonel Kurtz is IMO one of the greatest of all time. Which is saying a lot considering he's in it for like 10 minutes or so.

You're right, just because people on the set complained about how MB did things it does not mean it was not the masterpiece.

Karl said it.

We should all try method acting like Rogers and Ross, the world may be a better place afterwards.

And less method acting for crazed knife salesmen (Robert de Niro in The Fan)

Temujin was a pretty chill guy.

The label method didn’t come until the 1930s with group theatre. Strasberg created the so called method. Stanislavsky dropped emotional memory. Strasberg kept it and embraced it. Same with Uta Hagen. That is why it’s called the Strasberg method. Uta Hagens technique uses the same things as method but handles it differently. At the end of the day it’s all different interpretations of the Stanislavsky system.

Also, there was Brecht Method (in the 50s) which went on the opposite way, meaning : separate the actor from the character and so playing from real life. Basically, you know what's on the script isn't your real life so why even bother pretending it's not true ? Also, the audience isn't a bunch of fools. People are supposed to know by default they're not watching something real, they know what this is all about, they come for entertainment, they know what an actor's job is made for. Starting from there, actors don't even need to transform themselves into characters. They're just using their own bodies and voices to place their marks and cast their lines in order to serve modestly the script from the author and/or the director, that's it (in short).

This

@@PaleJulia What's that suppose to mean?

@@ryandt2623 That she agrees with everything you just said and can't think of anything to add to it as you said everything she was thinking already. That said, though, these editorials are very much the Nostalgia Critic character as anyone who has seen Doug Reviews or Sibling Rivalry or any of the behind the scenes videos knows Doug's actual personality is a whole lot more awkward and geekier than the Critic is.

@David Smith Well yeah, but whenever he's not on screen, and it's just his voice, that seems to me like Doug Walker talking. But I'm not complaining as I honestly prefer Doug Walker to Nostalgia Critic, and I'd rather he just give opinions as himself, than give them as a character. That's a style of internet reviewing I loved when I was a teenager, but now that I'm 22, I honestly find it pretty dated. That's why I don't watch his Nostalgia Critic reviews anymore, and instead just watch him doing reviews as himself. I mean, okay, I still watch these, but again, that's because I don't really consider these Nostalgia Critic. I consider them more Doug Walker, dressed up as the Nostalgia Critic. But bottomline, I do personally think Doug should continue doing more things as himself, and less things as Nostalgia Critic. And I understand he has to do Nostalgia Critic, because it's his job, but... I think you get the idea. I'll just be ramlbing if I go on any longer.

@@BrightWulph And then there's what had happened with The Last Tango In Paris...even Marlon Brando was disgusted with the director.

Kubrick filmography is full of unfaithfull adaptations. While he is one of the best directors he also is one of the greatest assholes in the world , the thing is if he does not get something his way then he will destroy everything just to get control. He takes an Authors book, takes some themes and then basically discards the rest to make his own movie which is fine but then why take the Authors book then? I can say that 95% of his movies are adaptations of something popular and he did not even follow through on , he just used a recognisable material and gave something that does not resemble the thing at all.

...what did Kubrick do to her?

@@naught_. In short, to make sure she acted 'helpless enough', he was a complete asshole to her and made the crew act the same way. I distinctly remember hearing about her crying for hours every day. "Kubrick would often put intense pressure on Duvall, saying she was wasting everyone’s time on set, and basically that all of her ideas and suggestions were worthless."

@@spiderlily723 Kubrick hated the terms that Stephen King put on the studio for the Shining. King has in his adaption contracts that child actors can't be traumatized. This resulted in a few scenes in the Shining where the actor that played Danny refused to do more than 1 take to the frustration of Kubrick. I think Kubrick took it out on people who had nothing to do with the adaption terms. Honestly though if a child actor is too scared to do another take you need to ask what the hell is going on in the first place.

@@lucifaerislifeandstuff5181 I didn't think it can be any worse. And you just made it worse. What is it with some directors...

Didn't he retire after "The Boxer", but returned for "Gangs of New York" five years later? I think he's just waiting for an amazing challenging script with the right director. If Cher and Judas Priest taught us anything is that there is no farewell tour. Much like the Black Sabbath song "Never Say Die".

@@ZombieDragQueen Kiss first farewell was 20 years ago lol, they're touring again this year

No wonder why the DC Extended Universe Joker is the weakest Joker in live-action. It has been parodied well in the Nostalgia Critic where Jim Jarosz played him better than Leto.

It depends on the character and film and don't bevahe like asshole the cast and crew.

He also could do the thing where they just pop it on immediately. Apparently while filming Don Juan DeMarco, him and Johnny Depp would be goofing off because they found out they were both Beavis & Hutt-head fans. The second they yelled "cut", they would both abruptly start talking like Beavis & Butt-head, congratulating each other and laughing.

He was the first successful method actor and your first uninformed sentence shows how much your have bothered to read about him beyond clickbait articles. He was the most important actor of the 20th century and had he been born in any other country he would be respected as a pioneer and a great artist. But America is the land of useless and harmless “icon” s and he was neither this nor that.

He refused to memorize his lines for many movies. He showed up overweight and out of shape for a number of roles where he should have been in shape. That's really hurt his legacy. I never claimed he wasn't talented. He turned in a number of memorable, in some cases Oscar nominated, performances. When he starred in "On The Waterfront" did Brando train as a boxer and work as a dock worker in preparation for the role? Did he stay in character between takes? Because if he did none of those things then he's not really a method actor, at least not as as we use the term today. Brando could certainly get better into characters than say, John Wayne, to which is Stanislavski training was undoubtedly important, probably critical. I understand he popularized Stanislavski, which would certainly be influential. But there's more to "method acting" than just using the Stanislavski Method, because there's a big difference between what Brando did and what Daniel Day Lewis does.

Is a very weird case. Of course Brando did some of the greatest acting performances ever, but i think with the time he was so consumed by his own ego that he cared every day less. So if you watch A Streetcar Named Desire or On the Waterfront you watch a huge ego Brando but at the very least you can say that he cares, by the time of Apocalypse Now he was more or less convinced that his sole performance was enough for make the movie stand out so out of apathy, ego, laziness or whatever he just stopped learning his lines or following the directors and just did whatever the fuck he wanted. Still did great jobs after that, but wasn't due to his commitment to his roles.

Brando never considered to call himself a method actor as did most of Adlers students. He doesn't need to stay in character for making his performance better. He achieved the best performances of all time without staying in character off take and he did prepare himself for several roles like his first movie the men where he learned to play a handicapped person or for Don Corleone where he studied Frank Costellos court case tapes and adapted his voice for the Don.

Yeah but NPH did soooo much better

...Light-hearted? -_-

@@gretchen8100 NPH was playing it as he KNEW he was the bad guy, he was just being evil and having fun with it. Jim Carrey always acted like the good guy, even when he was doing something evil, he was acting like the good guy. That made him out to be so much creepier and malicious. NPH was just like "I'm evil, I'm going to do the evil thing, because I'm evil". Jim Carrey would portray the "I'm going to do this thing I want to do, it just happens to be evil, but I'm not evil, I promise" I don't know how much better I can explain it, but thinking back there are two primary examples. The way they acted towards the children. NPH: Straight up told them he was only doing it for their money, and went and told his troupe that the kids were only their so he can get their money. He didn't hide it, try to play it off. He wasn't being the actor he was supposed to be. Jim Carrey: He played his role in order to get the money, he used the fact that they were living with him to make them do the difficult chores, and made it seem as though the children should be grateful he was being so kind. He told his troupe that he was doing them a kindness but they weren't exactly being thankful. He was evil, manipulative, creepy but played into his role of being a "good" parent, at least how he thought he was supposed to. One of the most disturbing scenes in the movie for me was how he made their aunt practically commit suicide for him. The boats they stood on slowly drift apart as they hold each other's hands flirting with eachother, the kids knew what he was doing, and so did he, but the way he played it was she slipped in, he tried to help, but there was nothing he could do. We all know that's not true, it's obvious, but it's far more effective and creepy that he played it off like that. NPHs version would have probably just pushed her in and been like "I did it cause I'm evil of course!" no subtlety, no putting on a pointless show for the fun of it, he would just do it because he knew it was the evil thing to do. While I know the show did it vastly differently, I can't remember what exactly happened. Infact I can't remember much of the show and I only saw it last year, while I saw the movie years ago. The movie was so much more impactful. Plus the small details of the movie, for instance each child has their own unique gift. Klauses (sorry if I spelled it wrong, just spelling how it sounds) was books, and the movie portrayed his memory of books very uniquely for the viewer to represent Klauses mind as a library of all the books he's read. The show on the other hand has him read 1 book, it spends a lot of time on him reading that book, and then nothing comes of it because Olaf already knew what to do. Too much build up for nothing, and if I remember correctly he never really helps again, and neither does Sunny really in the show. The only one who does anything most of the time is Violet. While in the movie each child is given their own time to shine, whether it's helping eachother or doing something on their own, each of them does their best and it doesn't always work out, but we the viewers KNOW they did their best. The train scene is another good example which I remember what happened in the movie but not the show. I guess that's the biggest issue, the show isn't rememberable while the movie is.

@@manuelalbertoromero9528 the show was brighter, there weren't as many creepy moments or performances like in the movie, and the whole subplot with the spy parents was unnecessarily hopeful, even though I knew nothing was going to come of it as it wasn't their parents, but for those who might have bought into it I don't think the way it ended was as big of a surprise as they thought it would have been as none of the characters felt truly despicable or evil.

Maybe it would have been good. He is amazing in sonic I could get behind a Jim Carrey Joker

Vincent Macefe: Channel 2 That would of actually been a fantastic performance!

I can see him play The Joker

He isnt a chameleon actor though, it would stand out way too much

Great idea, but unfortunately I’ve gotten too used to seeing him as The Riddler.

For some actors that's enough. I've always felt that outside of a couple of roles, Jack Nicholson just dials up and down his personality. He can be cool, witty, and a bit snarky or he can be batshit insane, but you always see Nicholson. Even in something like Terms of Endearment, you could still see a guy who could one day pull an axe on his wife.

Honestly, I can kinda relate. I could not describe myself to someone.

Imagine if he switched careers to one of his characters' jobs, and he still screamed like that. I heard he once played a cobbler, so how would that go?
