Yes those were different times.
We already have guys who do what Pratt does and does it better (RDJ and Paul Rudd for one)
In all honesty Pratt is similar to Finn from TFA in that I find them to be over the top and try to force their humor.
Hes the default leader of GOTG but honestly Rocket Drax and even Groot were more interesting and entertaining.

Still dont understand how Rourke did not win an Oscar for The Wrestler. Was robbed big time.

I felt the same way about DiCaprio in Wolf of Wall Street—a performance that I think was a lot more nuanced than McConaughey's in Dallas Buyers Club. I still think McConaughey received a boost from the massive (and deserved) True Detective buzz hitting right during voting time.
Likewise, I thought DiCaprio's performance in The Revenant was both less superlative than his work in Wolf of Wall Street, and a lot less nuanced than Fassbinder's turn as Steve Jobs; but again I think elements outside the respective performances (in this case, all of DiCaprio's previous losses) tilted the scales.

Saw Passengers a couple of nights ago. Vastly different from what was advertised. Not a Romcom in the least. Not really an action movie either. Hard to describe. It's getting crushed by the critics and I don't know how audiences are reacting. Pratt and Lawrence both do a good job, but it's a bit of a messy and uncomfortable movie that provides a high school level lesson in moral philosophy. Can't say much else other than that without revealing too much. I wouldn't go as far as to highly recommend it because I fully recognize it's going to be hit-or-miss for folks.

La La Land is a must see.

Saw Fences the other night. I have seen it performed on stage and the movie loses nothing in the translation. Another movie that will net Oscar nominations in multiple categories. Washington and Davis are shoo-ins for nominations in their categories.

Hidden Figures is very good. Very moving.
