I really think this series could go places with a little more editing and attention. Think "What's in My Bag," but for films. For example, focusing a little more on their picks, prompting more discussion, or showing clips from the films. I could see it having appeal even outside the Criterion community - attract more viewers!

The first time I saw Paul was in Little Miss Sunshine. He stands out for some reason, there is a sincerity in his presence that is pretty wonderful. He clearly is passionate for his craft. I love that he is so motivated not just by successes, but the process and communication of film-making.
Here after Paul Dano is playing the riddler. Guy is clearly born to play riddler. He is smart as hell and quite talented.

So when i found out that one of Paul's favourite films is in my native language, it made me really happy. It may not seem like a big deal to some people, but it meant a lot to me.

Paul has come such a long way as an actor. Crazy to see him as the riddler. One of my top 3 favorite actors.
He's such an underrated actor. Loved him in There Will be Blood. He blew me away as to keep up with an actor like Daniel Day-Lewis at such a young age is an unprecedented feat. I'd love to see him in more movies that demand such an intensity. What an actor!
I think it’s time Hollywood started taking bigger risks with the types of movies they make and the actors they cast in those roles. Imagine an adaptation of Camus’ “The Stranger.” Dano would make an excellent Meursault. Or even a good Rieux if they did The Plague.

For those of us he grew up during the 1970s, PBS was the original Criterion or Janus Films. Every Sunday night at 9pm, or later, we got to see all the classics of the 40s, 50s, and 60s from Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan. And no commercials! This was before laserdisc and Blu-ray. It was a free film education. Miss those days 😊

"From your secret friend, who? Haven't a clue? Let's play a game, Just me and you..."

I don't know why but as soon as he said "one filmmaker that really kinda changed how I thought about film" my brain was like "he's gonna say Ozu" probably because I wanted him to say Ozu. But I'm glad he did.
Thank you, Paul. For being a purely soft soul. You inspire me to be the best "versions" of myself. Thank you, stranger.

I liked Paul Dano since "There Will Be Blood". Mr. Dano is a well-rounded actor with huge talent. I am happy that this latest role in The Batman has allowed the world to see how tremendously talented this man really is. I think it will be smooth sailing for him from here on out. I would not be surprised if he's nominated for an Oscar for his role as The Riddler. If he is nominated, it will be only the second time in the history of cinema, behind Heath Ledger and The Joker, that a comic book based character has been nominated for an Oscar. And if he were to win, also the second win, again, behind Heath Ledger and The Joker, that a comic book character took home Oscar gold. I think he has a great chance!
