Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Please tell me I'm not the only one who adores him. Options

I know what you're thinking.
"Ichigo, you're turning into a crazed fangirl!"

1. Yes.
2. I don't only like him because he's handsome. I think he's a brilliant actor with a lot of talent.

I've seen him in Inception, 500 days of summer, and Mysterious Skin ( it was kind of hard to watch that movie sometimes.. it was a brilliantly interesting movie, but.. so disturbing it was almost painful ). He's very diverse. He can pull off different characters with very different personalities, unlike someone like Michael Cera (even though I quite like him as well) who plays basically the same/similar part(s) in every movie he does.

And yes. Joseph Gordon-Levitt. "That Tommy kid" from Third Rock from the Sun.

DON'T JUDGE ME.

I remember seeing him in mysterious skin and thinking "OH IT'S THAT KID FROM 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN. HE'S STILL DOING STUFF? COOL"

Caps and everything I swear.

[Ichigo]

Gotta have the caps. Life as we know it would fail if we were unable to SPEAK IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME!!!!

So did you watch mysterious skin? or do you mean just the trailer or a couple scenes or something? owo?

I love that movie so much.

[IdlersDream]

OMG!! SOMEONE ELSE WHO'S WATCHED MYSTERIOUS SKIN WHO ISN'T SOME RANDOM PERSON ON TUMBLR!!

I love myself some JGL! I remembered him from 3rd Rock from the Sun, especially when 500 Days of Summer came out I was like "HEY HE'S ALL GROWN UP!" cause I had assumed that maybe he had quit acting as a lot of child actors do.

I saw Mysterious Skin quite awhile ago but they played it on a channel here where they play mostly indie movies or more unknown movies and I saw he was in it so I watched it and ah... It's a good movie, but it's such a strong movie. Very, very hard to watch at times. Especially when he's with that man with all the lesions all over his body.
I liked it though, it ended with hope you know? It wasn't completely hopeless, you have a feeling at the end that now that especially that one boy knows what happened to him that maybe they can move on to have somewhat normal lives.

And of course, loved him in Inception lol.

And the reason he's not in a lot is because he says he made so much money as a child actor that he never has to work again if he doesn't want to, so he chooses roles he wants to do that will challenge him.

He does come across kind of weird when you see him in interviews {I guess it should be expected he studied French poetry lulz} and kind of hipsterish, but I still like him.

Did anyone else see him on Conan a few weeks ago where they did a headbanging contest and he went nuts and ended up smashing their glass table lol? Oh Joseph...

[Suiko]

I watched it but mainly because my girlfriend at the time wanted to. It was alright, kinda cool

[IdlersDream]

Why did she want to watch it so bad? That's kind of an odd movie to really want to see, it's not like it's really enjoyable. It's basically 100% depressing.

[Suiko]

She wasn't really desperate to watch it she just heard it was good. A movie doesn't have to be happy for people to want to see it

[IdlersDream]

....Uh, yeah, I know that. I watched it too... I'm just saying it's not a type of movie people would really want to see, yeah, it's a great movie and the acting is amazing but it's very strong subject matter and some really hard to watch scenes.

That's what I was talking about..

[Suiko]

But regardless of the subject matter if people heard it was a great movie with amazing acting the majority would still be really interested in it, it's not the sort of film you'd take your family to see but I could only see it dissuading a small number of people otherwise - maybe only a little more than the amount of people who would watch it purely because of it.

I love him! (Yes, I am fangirling right now)
I really do think he is an amazing actor, and I saw in an interview how he doesn't care about fame, and how he chooses a script based on wether he personally likes it or not.
I've seen him in Inception, 500 Days of Summer, Brick (more on that), 10 Things I Hate About You, and Stop Loss. I haven't seen Mysterious skin yet, but me and my friend are planning to watch it soon.
I really think he is one of those few actors who remains down to earth and is a genuinely kind hearted person, despite their great acting ability.

Brick, by the way, is a pretty good, film, though somewhat confusing. The ending is quite sad. Stop loss... That just made me bawl my eyes out. War movies make me cry either way, but this one was really good.

If you haven't seen it yet, you should look up a video called "Pictures of ***$$$$$" *I censored the swear* Shows that he actually has guts to stand up for himself.

Alright, well, my rant about how amazing I think he is is done :) Have a nice, JGL filled day
