Yep. I'm in!In. Looks good. Hardy has been great in these type of rolls so far.
Like The Revenant.In. Looks good. Hardy has been great in these type of roles so far.
I admire well executed films where one actor plays identical twins with nuanced character differences (Cronenberg's Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons and Adaptation with Nicolas Cage come to mind, but no doubt there are others).Hardy is brilliant in Legend. About two twin brother gangsters in London. Check it out.
Hardy kills in that. Can't wait for next season.You guys also need to watch peaky blinders
Didn't know he was in it (or that it is a Netflix original series - first three seasons are up). Probably have to check that out.Hardy kills in that. Can't wait for next season.
Came here to post this. He is awesome in Peaky Blinders.Hardy kills in that. Can't wait for next season.You guys also need to watch peaky blinders
Tom worked on the story with the co-creators. His dad Chips is a Cambridge-educated writer.Also with Jonathan Pryce (just watched Glengarry again a few nights ago). And Hardy's father 'Chips' is co-creator?
Well you're in luck because he's gay as wellHomer J Simpson said:So gay for Tom Hardy.
Tom does appear nude in Taboo. Too bad for you it was filmed before he went on a potato diet.Homer J Simpson said:So gay for Tom Hardy.
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-tom-hardy-taboo-review-20170110-story.htmlLike “Peaky Blinders,” “Taboo” is not easy watching. It requires intense focus to keep track of historical references, multiple characters and the complex storylines of his scheming enemies (or are they the good guys?). Subplots include characters navigating the British government’s strained relations with America in the War of 1812, complicated big business schemes that make Goldman Sachs look like rank amateurs and heartbreaking takes on the shipping trades most shameful line of business: the slave trade.
But it’s worth the effort. Like Clive Owen as Dr. John Thackery in “The Knick,” a similarly bleak but smart period drama about New York, Hardy gives us such a magnetic central character with Delaney that he alone could carry the drama. But the theme here of big business versus individual morality, and the idea that sometimes the most eccentric among us are not crazy — they just know more — make “Taboo” one of the more unique and thoughtful offerings of the new year.
ShockingWatched a little. Had a hard time hearing or understanding Hardy.
ThisIt was kind of slow, but it has a lot of potential.
Latter, my friend. LatterReflection of my s stupidity or Hardy's marble mouf
Glad it wasn't just me. Hardy combined with all the accents forced me to turn the CC on. I assume I'll get used to the accents at leastWatched a little. Had a hard time hearing or understanding Hardy. But I was pretty tired. It does look great and the cast is amazing. Looking forward to giving it more attention.
A lot of times FX plays the previous week's episode before the new one. Not sure if they'll do it with this...Any chance this episode is repeated before next week?
Yes, it will be repeated on Sat, 1/14, at 11:30 pm EST and Sun, 1/15, at 12:51 am EST.Any chance this episode is repeated before next week?
