i just watched the man who fell to earth (1976) starring david bowie yesterday (in honor of the king's birthday) and it was so wonderfully strange. i don't think i could even relay the plot to you effectively outside of the fact that it's about aliens, but the cinematography was beautiful and, above all, it was cast perfectly. not a single person in this film could be considered a good actor, but that's what made it great! david bowie was an absolute freak and had the perfect look to play this weird, awkward but still sexy alien man. idk when we shifted from casting people who actually fit the role to just bagging the current traditionally attractive white boy of the month, but we need to return to our roots. bring back weird actors!! we need more willem dafoes in the industry
