Hello reddit. I'm Andrew Scott. You may know me from films and series such as WAKE UP DEAD MAN, FLEABAG, RIPLEY, ALL OF US STRANGERS, SPECTRE, DENIAL, 1917, and BLUE MOON.

My newest film, PRESSURE, is out in UK cinemas September 9. It also stars Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis, and Chris Messina.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYa8N3R2cZw

Synopsis: The fate of the free world hangs in the balance as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Capt. James Stagg face an impossible choice -- launch the D-Day invasion or risk losing World War II altogether.

Ask me anything!

I'll be back today at around 10 AM ET/3 PM BST to answer questions.

I love whenever the movie need to get something done and they go on explaining about how there is nobody is better than this guy (think about the Armageddon scene where they bring it the best oil driller in on the planet)

Or the scene got character to hype up someone as an absolute best at something.

Not only is this film one of the funniest I’ve seen, it’s also incredibly unique not just with its story but its claymation style. The behind the scenes stuff is insane, it makes me exhausted just thinking about how much work was put in. And in 4K you can see ALL the details.

But this movie is exactly what I love about film. So many excellent characters, voice cast perfectly. Perfect directing, script, comedic timing, horror, creepiness, music, cinematography, mystery, payoff… In my opinion it’s a classic.

It reminds me also of those comedy movies in the 90’s like Addams Family Values, Romy & Michele, Home Alone 2, The Brady Bunch Movies, in terms of its insane quotability and style of comedy. (There’s a scene with a vending machine that I laughed so much at the first time I saw it, I’ll never forget it) Maybe the style of comedy is just suited to me personally, but it’s madly hilarious from start to finish. Like a great classic Simpsons episode, a classic joke every 25 seconds.

I wonder if this will be considered a cult classic one day? I always felt like it didn’t quite get the immense acclaim I thought it deserved, but with each year passing since it was made I am seeing more and more people discussing it. No other Laika film comes close for me personally. This one’s special.

Anyone else agree?

I’ve thought about this for a very long time ever since I saw it, and it still feels strange putting such a relatively recent movie this high on my favorites list. But at the same time, it just feels right.

I first saw it in theaters in January 2020, and it ended up being one of the last movies I saw in a theater before the world shut down.

1917 is my second favorite movie of all time, behind The Lord of the Rings, which I personally tend to consider one enormous 12-hour movie. Count them separately and I guess 1917 is technically fourth on my list. Either way, it’s my favorite completely self-contained film.

Every time I rewatch it, I notice something new, especially in the backgrounds and environments. And even knowing what happens, I’m always exhausted by the end. The continuous journey makes me feel like I’ve been right there alongside the characters the entire way, something this film does effortlessly so well.

And of course, Roger Deakins is truly a master of his craft. The lighting, composition, and camera movement throughout this movie are nothing short of spectacular.

1917 is an incredible film, and for me, a masterpiece of cinematography.

Your thoughts? Is it a film you still enjoy watching?

I'm talking movies that you love or think are genuinely fantastic, but have a score under 70 Percent on rotten tomatoes.

My favorites have to be UHF starring Weird Al, and Death To Smoochy starring Edward Norton and Robin Williams.

UHF has 64 Percent on RT, and Death To Smoochy has 42 Percent.

Death To Smoochy especially, has very sharp writing and excellent pacing. I really like Edward Norton as the Barney archetype and I like seeing Robin Williams in a villain role.

What's your favorite movie with a low critic score?

I remember watching this as a kid. So many skits that still stay in my memory, Most of them still work,

Carrie Fisher's teen morality video.

DON "NO SOUL" SIMMONS and BB King!

Bullshit or Not! with Henry Silvia. (I just laughed out loud when I saw that Titanic reenactment.)

There are a few skits that don't work though. Like that opening with Arsenio Hall.
