TBH most of his movies are cheesy!
Was thinking the same, the first serious thing he did is M&G
I hope that give him better opportunities to run from rom coms
I dont think he was still yet in a position to be able to decline that
I mean, he did worst :joy: (PH)

I'm sorry but I can't take Nicholas seriously in that movie. The whole plot is ridiculous LMAO
Has anyone had any thoughts about M&G? I've watched it all, some scenes more than once. It moves so slowly, many of the scenes are simply too long (except for the sex scenes, most of which are very brief). Nicholas is eclipsed as an actor by an experienced crew of hardened professionals (not just Mary and James). Being beautiful and versatile isn't enough, I guess. As I see it, Nick's performamce in RWRB, for all its little flaws, outshines M&G by far.
Fantastic costumes, makeup, props, jewellery etc., and of course the settings are unique. But the use of modern English, heavily laced with expletives, doesn't sit well in such a precise historical context.
People will disagree, I'm sure. Fine. Let's have it! Comments on the show have been surprisingly scarce so far.

I recognize I went to watch the series avid to see him, I need to rewatch with proper subs because they make a huge diff in my case
I found portuguese subs and rewatched the 1st episode so far, I wouldnt have thought about the modern language, that`s a good point I would never see by my own.
I dindt think he wasnt at the level of the other actors (Im a huge fan of Nicola, her Lady Hatton is fantastic, he reminded me of Maggy Smith in Downton Abbey)
Maybe Im biased?
Probably o_O

Here on this forum we're all biased in favour of babygirl. That's why we're here
I just regret that the young George is made to appear so naive and clumsy, that the script writers didn't come up with enough "ammunition" for him in the dialogues, and that they let him grow into a monster with little or no transition.

The plot might be ridic but it sounds so fun, haha.

I hope it's fun and sexy and scandalous :laughing:

I do agree with the modern language they have and the exaggerated use of expletives. It is very entertaining, yes, but it's not realistic, although I know they have built a very specific world in the series so I don't really hold that against them. They were not trying to go for being the most accurate period series and you can tell with the way the trailer was edited, the intro of the show and the characters posters.

And I don't think the plot moves slowly at all though. I never got bored with the pace. I loved how things unfolded.

Now, I'll tell you the reason why it feels like Nick is "eclipsed" by other actors: his character's writing.

1710368382658.png


Everyone in the show is so sure of themselves, so special in the ways they try to achieve their wants and needs (the characters I mean) and then you have George who went from insecure, weak and co-dependent young man to a... still insecure, weak and co-dependent young man who tried to emulate his Mother in many occasions and needed constant support all the time. He had his good moments, yes, but ultimately, he had a sense of naiveté and cockiness which made him too sure of himself and that led to what happens in the middle of the series when his brother had to intervene and led to what happens at the end, cause he got way too cocky but never kept his guard up, even after all the crap he went through.

He was most insufferable one, I kid you not :laughing:

I feel like his character was the only one written that way and it made him look like a weakling most of the time and it made the others shine in ways he couldn't, at all.

People can complain about a million things with RWRB, but Henry is character that, like Alex, had a growth that made sense and didn't rely on embarrassing him and the writing favored him a lot.

Did I make any sense? Haha.

Some people have had these same opinions as well, although is a fact for the most part.

OMG, this is what I just wrote in my comment above, regarding the writing! You phrased it more objectively!

We may be biased with Nick, but we're not dumb enough to not notice the flaws in a character that he played and how the writing does not favor him ;)

It will be hard for Nick to improve in the shorter term upon his performance in RWRB. Intensity, wit, tenderness, vulnerability, a thousand nuances and vocal inflections, the iconic Paris scene. A sequel might not be such a bad idea after all, but it would have to be brilliantly written.

you think he was better as Henry as in George?
I cant compare yet because of the quantity of times I watched one and the other, but I recognize Im not a fan of romcoms in general, I wouldnt watch Cinderella for instance if it wasnt for him.
Not a fan of sequels either, but who knows what they are preparing.

Nick saying he didnt watch Citizen Kane in an industry event :joy:

I hope Matthew M. Lopez himself writes it, maybe a two-hander with Casey!

He showed that he was very clear about the ideas he wanted to portray, and he also exhibited greater skill in that area than as a director!

YJS!

Babe, we filled 500 pages with almost no skin, just with his smile

And also our unhinged musings about purses, Fendi, calling him "Babygirl" and how incredibly heterosexual he is... :joy:

Only thing missing now is his cock
In my mouth... There, fixed it for you ;)

When he spots a purse on the red carpet...

Oh you changed your location babe!! I was sure that nick was from Liverpool, and then I thought but maybe..that is the region/county, went to check and it was.

I have a mental list with nicknames and locations, you change one and my matrix doesnt work anymore
