  They probably didn’t want to give lip service to a project by Woody Allen, even though it’s one of the most Javier Bardem performances by Javier Bardem. He’s so perfect in it

  It’s my favorite film that he’s in. No surprise it’s not in this video. Javier still openly defends Woody too. He’s always been a real one.

Why did they leave so many “big ones” out of even the timeline? Eat Pray Love, Mother!, Los lunes al sol, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Pirates of the Caribbean…

I can’t believe the movie you based Fargos atmosphere of, is now now popular than Fargo itself as a movie. Props to The Coen Brothers.

Amazing actor. No Country For Old Men is still one of the greatest films I’ve ever watched.

I’d like to see Javier play Kraven the Hunter in the Marvel Spider-Man movies
