They really need to quit making Pete Davidson try to happen. He’s good at being himself and that’s it

He’s been successfully “happening” though for over ten years now. Edit: Heyy I didn’t say I was happy about it!

"successfully" is stretching it. like he's an okay bit actor, like if he shows up, does his bit for 5 minutes and leaves he's okay, but honestly the dude cannot carry a movie. King of Staten Island was good but also a hot mess honestly, and this is probably his best main role, like he was just such a f****** drag in Bodies Bodies Bodies (which is saying alot lol), and didn't add much to The Dirt, and i know i can't really blame him for the Transformers/Beast Wars film, but that entire film was less than mid.

How do you know this isn’t a role asking him to be himself? Guy has more baggage than a freight train but what better method material to play a mob guy?

KungFooKittenz Mar 27, 2026 +6

Anyone who is good at acting. Pete’s the furthest thing from a mobster, you kidding me? 🤣

Have you seen him play anything else? He’s no mobster. And he’s no actor either. Maybe he’ll surprise us…. Maybe. But I’m not expecting it at all

He got famous rly young so ofc his roles leaned into his own personality, it's what happens when you're still figuring things out in the spotlight, + he's only 32yo, ppl said similar things ab other actors before they surprised everyone. "he's no actor", based on the same roles yall keep bringing up, maybe try letting the guy actually do smth different before deciding he's incapable of it. i root for him and i've seen his recent movies, i know about his progress.

Go watch his recent films. Especially his horror role. I’m not talking out of my ass here. Chill out. He doesn’t need your defense.

Wholesome-sparky Mar 27, 2026

i'm just seeing too many negative comments, movie not even out and listnook is writing bad reviews. and as someone that watched most of his recent movies including the horror one, which started off slow and was actually nice at the end, i can definitely see his acting skills evolving. he's young and got so much potential.

Stolehtreb Mar 27, 2026 +1

K man. If you like him, that’s fine. You’re just acting like people can’t have bad opinions and that’s ridiculous. You go be a huge fan. I’m not. That’s gonna have to be enough for you.

Wholesome-sparky Mar 27, 2026

pfft, i'm not here to change your mind, i stated my opinion and you couldn't take it, go be another cranky listnookor

Yeah I read a book about Tommy Pittera by Philip Carlo. Even by mob standards he was a very bad guy. He's still alive but has been incarcerated since 1990. Cops found a woman's head in his fridge.

Half the gangsters in my neighborhood were terrified of that Maniac back then. I have a feeling they were more afraid of him than they were of DeMeo.

One of the most baffling show business careers ever. He's like a severely less-funny Adam Sandler without the massive success. Despite never displaying any significant aptitude for acting or comedy, despite none of his projects hitting big, they keep trying to give him vehicles. So strange.

MountainMuffin1980 Mar 27, 2026 +4

I really don't get it. Do his projects make good money?

I've been sick of Pete Davidson since his debut on SNL. He plays himself well, but it's unfortunate I find him abrasively unfunny.

Meh

Pete Davidson playing Tommy Pitera? Shit that's a stretch. Pitera was a maniac in my old neighborhood I can't see it unless Davidson puts on about 30 lb of muscle.

TheBrainlessRobot Mar 27, 2026 +2

Could be a good casting considering how nonthreatening Tommy appeared and what he sounded like.

Helpful-Attorney-924 Mar 27, 2026 +2

Never found him funny

I thought we were done trying to make Pete Davidson happen

listnook already wrote the reviews and the movie isn't even out yet 💀, can we watch it before throwing tomatoes, yall are shameless

theodo Mar 27, 2026 +1

Especially considering Pachinko is a bit of a "listnook darling" as far as I know, and Justin Chon (director/cowriter on this) directed a lot of that show.

Only reason I’m watching this is because of my favorite actress Camila Mendes and for Simon Rex and Paul Walter Hauser.

No thanks

Level-Tangerine-3877 Mar 28, 2026 +1

no, he's more of an Enter The Dragon remake kind of guy

MyUsernameIsAwful Mar 27, 2026 +1

Oh shit, I learned about this guy from the Chilluminati podcast. This is going to be their new La Llorona.

MaxProwes Mar 27, 2026 +1

Best name ever.

Seeing ex-MTV VJ Simon Rex in the movies is pretty wild.

So that's why he made that awful Shaolin tattoo
