Him finding out his son died sucking SLJ’s penis was a hilarious turn of events. Underrated as one of QT’s best movies.

It's ambiguous whether that particular story was truthful or just used to get General Smithers dander up. I lean towards the latter. It's not like Mr. Lincoln Letter was known for his veracity.

Bumping this thread to say Bruce killed it as Tom Buchanan in The Great Gatsby.

hard to answer since Bruce Dern IS a scumbag in real life so the question is, was he acting or being himself?

He’s seen a resurgence playing ancient guys lately, Tarantino loves him.




His small role as the old man in the nursing home sharing a room with the Down Syndrome kid in "Peanut Butter Falcon" kind of showed his softer, kinder side.



He helped the kid escape and pleaded ignorance when they asked about how he got out.

I read somewhere when he killed John Wayne in the Cowboys, it killed his career.
No. And Wayne killed him first in The War Wagon.

The Burbs

Woefully underrated flick. Mom used to play it for us as a Halloween movie growing up and it totally works.
