when you find a way to dance in every movie you're in 

^^For real. Everybody go check out Flight Facilities for the full music video. You’ll be hooked. And the song alone (Down to Earth) is downright fire^^ -Danny

Either one of the best compliments or one of the worst insults to give someone.

Nobody has the moves like Rockwell 🎵🎶🕺

@@CinemaStix I checked it out, it's just gorgeous. I like how his dancing in the video starts a little rough and then progressively gets more confident and relaxed. I thinks when he puts the hat on, he levels up. And then the ending is just fun!

He really does rock well

It totally did. To me it showed a guy who thinks he can win over a crowd the way Stark does, but in reality is just a total doofus.

Exactly, the impression I got was that he was peacocking, but also oblivious to how transparent it was.

@@CinemaStix kinda reminds me of behaviour of other, not so fictional billionaire.

​@@CinemaStix That was exactly it. Tony doesn't do it to impress. He does it because that's who he is. Justin Hammer does it to be like Tony. That said, Justin's pathetic showboating kinda made Tony's showboating in the film's opening look childish too. Justin was a clownish reflection of Tony's clowning.

If they had just had Justin Hammer be the main villain and given him way more screen-time, that film would have been so much better. Whiplash wasn't bad, but putting him in the same film as Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer is unfair, you just can't compete. If they don't bring him back at some point, and not just in a short film again, they've missed a huge opportunity. Armor Wars, Thunderbolts, Ironheart, there's room for at least a little more Justin Hammer.

Yeah, it's one of those movie scenes I never forgot having watched it as a child lol. Am 30 now I still remember it.

Is it weird that i thought his dancing reveal scene in the movie was the most entertaining moment in the movie?

Agreed

​@@merryryelySame. Its a core memory of mine watching that scene, when he revealed in song and dance how he was the true villain I was just as shocked as drew Barrymore was.

@@jtrinidad1884 Not that weird because the movie isn't that good, but that individual scene is pretty legit.

🎯💯

This

@Medlife Crisis Awesome, thank you. Quick, unusually deep information dive (and question): I believe I have just found the next quote I can put on a drawstring bag for some lucky person's upcoming birthday (I have about 15 of them plus textile colours left over from some event and it's a great low-threshold break from PhD stress). Should I cite you? Feels like it would make some interesting type of sense to put a small YT account name somewhere in a corner of that bag. Or better a more proper name? Let me know if you also enjoy this idea of appearing on someone's gym bag in some other part of the world. :) Oh, and do you happen to have a preference for the bag colour, black or cotton off-white?

I am making this altered version my new life‘s motto.

Lol

Well now I need to see if he danced in Three Billboards.

I remember that and always have. His dancing was how I have always remembered him. Hahaha.

Totally!

Same here. I fell in love that day.

​@@spacebar9733yeah that scene was uh..... let's just say it was a defining moment in my life lmao

Same here. That scene blew me away - i rewound & watched it a fee times, he was just too good & so unexpected!

Agreed

Yo-yo-you're just my type!

Love that movie! Anytime I'm feeling down I watch that and I'm happy again. Anna Kendrick is fantastic too. And Tim Roth! 😂

That movie is awesome

The "revenge is fun" dance was pretty sweet (with the editing and all).

Oh my God, I LOVED the Charlies Angel dance! It immediately came to mind when I saw this vid.

The way he changes his facial expression from sweet to scary is one of the creepiest moments in a non-horror film!!!

His villain reveal in that movie was A+++

Me too!!

Yes

Or acts like a dork then *becomes* the cool guy when he dances.

@@CinemaStix Hey bro, what's the name of the song in the video??

There are a couple songs, but if you’re wondering about the last one, it’s A Little Higher by Sture Zetterberg.

@@CinemaStix Thanks 🙏

Hehe. This.

This comment is amazing lol

If you look waaaaaay back, dancing was done for many reasons, spiritual, war, seasonal bounties of good harvest etc., but the best reason to dance is just go and let it go!

👍 so well said!

Yes and yes! Same. Wish I could’ve used the song in this.

@@CinemaStix Totally! After the Blurred Lines case, though... could have been PARTICULARLY tricky 😕

That was an epic moment. That movie is seriously under-rated.

Great user namer you have there, I had a genuine lol!

@@SP-ki5gn Why, thanks, man. It abides 🙂

In Iron man 2, It felt as if he was trying too hard to be a smooth and affable as Tony and failing hard at it, but he had the dance to match that attitude.

The Average White Band completed that scene.

He was getting it!! Love that shot!

hahaha I love that scene too... well the whole character really but yeah it was perfect for the scene!

In Iron Man 2, that was the whole point. The character he played was making one bad decision after the next. He was evil and incompetent.

Whoo! Thank you :) -Danny

💯

Indeed

​@@CinemaStix thank you, really. A ray of sunshine. 😊

NO SIR!!!

He is being too hard with himself, he is a perfectionist

Made me think of Seven Psychopaths, both were great in that movie.

Walked in Pennies from Heaven. What a star.

Just a natural antidepressant

Agreed...I also think Christopher Walken is his lost lost pop. Both love to dance, just from different eras.

@@Peanutdenver Walken is such an amazing actor. He actually trained for a time as a dancer at the Washington Dance Studio as well. It’s one of those tidbits of information that you just don’t really expect. I really need to see Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell doing a dance/music video together.

wonderfully put!

Hmmm. Well done, your channel description. A tree supports more life in death than when alive... life is beautiful, fading to orange, red, and brown.

@@Cale-Davison Thank you for reading my channel description rather than just resorting to calling me names or saying that I’m disgusting. I truly appreciate that. Very few people go to the trouble because…well, because the username really does come off poorly without the explanation of what it represents. I do understand though that it perhaps is a knee jerk reaction for many people to my admittedly bizarre username. Again, thank you.

That man is gold, and deserves much more recognition. After all he is the president of the galaxy

Is there air?! You don’t know!

yeah totally, he is super talented. Very smooth

42.

Oh yes, I agree. Mr. Right was stupendous choreography finely woven into the character and masterfully performed. Bravo Sam Rockwell!

I love him in that movie, even the way they had him dance into the title sequence just felt so correct.

Moon is one of my favorite movies

Sailor Moon? Sailor Moon Eternal?

He is on purpose not profiling to be a classical leading man, and that's for the best since then he would be made to do things that are not him. The "underratedness" can be a blessing that way, creatively.

Best of this generation??? Ok, this is a general comment: someone being one of your favorites does not make them one of the best.

@@carlrice1774 talk about twisting words! 😳🤦🏼‍♂️ I said "One of the best of this generation". I didn't say "THE best"! Nor did I say he was my favourite! There are a lot of actors these days who get kudos all the time but can't actually act, they just repeat the lines they've learnt as themselves. Chris Hemsworth for example; sells seats but can only do one role type...and not particularly great eaither! Sam Rockwell is incredibly diverse and ALWAYS gives a performance which convinces you of the character he is playing, THAT is great acting! If you need convincing and haven't watched them yet, watch "Moon" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" for two of his stellar roles. And you mustn't forget him in "The Green Mile" either, EPIC acting! But don't take my word/opinion on it! Clearly I am mislead in my belief that he is one of the best of my generation, because he's ONLY won 41 Awards and been nominated ONLY 76 times... ...so nobody else thinks he's great either!!! 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

For real. At least they got to work together. On stage once, too.

omg The green mile. Billy the kid, what an incredible performance that was

Well he had not danced in that but made chief dance on that chair. Does it count?

Thats where i know him from! That movie broke my heart

Go watch Moon from 2009, if you haven't seen it, you're welcome. One of my favorite movies, and definitely my favorite Sam Rockwell movie.

​@@jonesey1981 Yes MOON! Just an AMAZING movie!

Nah his best moves are in Mr. Right. Probably his funniest and coolest character.

What?

@@esseeedee i guess they meant to say is imagine a musical adaptation, but more on dancing.

This makes me sooo happy to read, thank you! Lots, lots more to come. Also.. I’ve only been around a little over a year, so hardly late in my book :) -Danny

Heck yeah!

@@CinemaStix I saw it and didn't connect that Sam dances in every project, but it is a great idea from the creators to throw it in as a bonus for those that do. The best bit is that Sam's dancing is never forced in, perhaps because he has no professional dancing background so it is just natural and therefore fits his characters

:)

Thank you!! I hope it’s just the beginning. But even if it’s short-lived, I’ve been so, so lucky to be here :)

@@CinemaStix Always the best attitude! But in all honesty, you are definitely very talented with a unique and keen eye. The only problem is its all about who you know these days; so I will wish you the best networking!!!

Thank you! I don’t talk about individual performers often enough on the channel. Seemed like the right place to start :) -Danny

Ditto!!

Got to second this, put the words right out of my mouth!

GALAXY QUEST! Watched that again with my wife and kids for the first time!! Everyone is So good and Sam Rockwell lives!!! Spoiler alert.

Snap! that was him in Green Mile. Kudos

The Green Mile…man, Rockwell’s performance is one of the top two reasons to watch that movie

Oh, I’m so glad! I care about every topic I cover, immensely so. But this one was no doubt particularly near and dear that I get right. :) -Danny

@@CinemaStix You seem to prioritize sharing love for movies over being right about what you may know. You make RU-vid a more beautiful place. Keep doing what you’re doing, Danny.

:)

If he had the clout he does now he could've worked in a dance with the Turtles...lol.

LOL, so great.

Haha I was looking for him too. Was glad when I saw it

Moon will always hold a special place in my heart, and that film is mostly Sam Rockwell so that'll probably have to be it

Galaxy Quest!

Three billboards, but that's also just one of my fav movies ever

Jojo Rabbit or maybe Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Don't know if I have a favorite. He never disappoints. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Galaxy Quest are the first movies I saw him in. Even with his small role in Turtles, he is memorable.
