what do you think of the casting? i'm not familiar with sebastian stan's game but i gotta say strong and bakalova are INSPIRED choices
hi! you came to the wrong person, I've never seen a film with sebastian stan. (maybe a fan of his who sees this could weigh in and give us their opinion). but i am very excited abt jeremy playing roy cohn. casting him i think was a good decision, so my hope is that every actor on the project was selected as carefully as he was (at least for the main roles)

Do you ship Roy Cohn and David Schine?
i do think that they had something going on between them and find their story very interesting, but im not seeing myself posting abt them on this blog. i'm more interested in the relationship roy cohn had with his other significant protege

Answer to @travllingbunny | 09.05.24 |
yeah, I agree. It's already insane how closely attached they were back then, but the fact that drumpf is still that spellbound even after 30 yrs is very telling. (and i think it's also an important tidbit, for the reason that at the time of his death he was very cold with cohn - which first made me think that maybe drumpf just used him in a way (regardless the very real sympathy). but the fact that he remembers him so fondly changes everything.
he definitely has a type. i'd add to the list of names his father also tho. there was an interview with him on a podcast where he mentioned this, he said something along the lines 'i get along with old tough men'. an it's true. obviously, now he himself is an old man, so while he was young he befriended old tough men to do his bidding and get their hands dirty for him, now, he is the old man who is to be vile and tough. and i think that's why he's been turning into roy, at least partly. (on a side note: i find it very intriguing that he relies on his wives and gfs in a very similar way. he wants women who are aggressive and tough and do things for him)
imo that's abt power, his good looking employees were an easy prey, on the other hand, his clients like drumpf, were of a whole other calibre. when he decided to go for those type of powerful, rich, goodlooking straight guys, he was playing the game he played his whole life. the bigger the prize the bigger the excitement. it's not the getting it's the hunt that's important. i think he got a very different kind of, but equally great satisfaction out of getting with both type of men he were after. so me thinks it's a power thing. the biggest fun is finding so great a prey you cant take it down.
i partly agree, but in that statement of his i rather see his all or nothing attraction to loyalty. he loves teh concept of loyalty almost perversly. they both did.
well i dont know too much yet, but i have already watched the doku on him from 2019. what i gathered so far is that he definitely lost faith in the law when he was a child and so he was determined to learn to use it. i find it interesting how much a of a wunderkind he was, finishing university at 20 and all. (so i was not that shocked abt him having those conversations with older men at that age, tho the topic is creepy. the way he already then knew an decided to study how to get ahead and how to actually play the game. he wanted power de facto not power de jure.
