I'm sure Wagner Moura's career is going to get a great big boost from this past awards season where he was deservedly nominated for his ace turn in The Secret Agent. (How incredibly handsome did he look at the Oscars this past weekend when he was presenting and he put on those glasses? I swooned.) He's already got seven titles in his "upcoming" projects including a remake of Abbas Kiarostami's masterpiece Taste of Cherry (from the director of Jauja!) and a Star Wars project (of course) -- I'm sure much-deserved bigger projects are in the works though. I'd love to see him reunite with Secret Agent director Kleber Mendonça Filho again. That said -- I've never yet watched Narcos, the show where he played drug kingpin Pablo Escabar seen above, and... that picture is making me think I really should watch Narcos. There's also the Boyd Holbrook and Pedro Pascal of it. Hrm. Thoughts? Also if you wanna give me your answers for a Narcos-themed "Do Dump or Marry?" in the comments, those three are ready and willing...



Do Boyd and do and do and do
ReplyDeleteDump Wagner

I thinknyou should watch Praia do Futuro by Ainouz
ReplyDeleteOh I have seen that, believe you me! Hot hot hot movie
Delete(I do need to re-watch it though)
It's on Tubi for free. Saw it last month. The nudity does not disappoint.
DeleteHoly crap! Thanks for reminding me ... actually, awakening me to the fact that Wagner Moura plays the lifeguard in “Praia do Futuro”! I collect queer cinema from around the world and have at least 100 films to date and to find it had to dig through six cases each holding four DVDs containing up to three films on each disc. Now I know what I’ll be doing tonight!
DeleteFor me, as a brazilian, its really sad to see his International career taking off. We need him in brazilian movies. We do not need external validation for our art, our culture. Our movies are made for the brazilian people
ReplyDeleteDo Boyd, Marry Wagner and dump Pedro
ReplyDeleteDo Boyd, Marry Wagner, Dump Pedro-I must watch Narcos immediately
ReplyDeleteMarry Wagner, and I don't give a damn about the others.
