I mean she’s already pretty undermined by this dumb YA romance shit they gave her.

I think people use "dark" in the sense that everything seems grim, joyless and too serious for the type of movie they're in. From early rumors, the JL humor is supposedly lame and out of place tonally? I dunno I haven't seen it but if it's anything like BvS, there could easily be an issue of tone deafness.

The only reason to watch this is

The problem is they're terrible at both things right now. Their jokey moments fall flat. And their dark dramatic shit falls flat. They should just stop worrying about Marvel and just to be good at one thing at a time.

$190m??? That seems excessive.

What is this budget? Like $170 million?

Jesus, those are some terrible winners in Best Actor.

Honestly the BoaN stuff was always going to fail even without Parker's implosion. The film just didn't get that great of a critical reception even coming out of Sundance. No 100's on Metacritic even. BP winners are always in the upper 80s or above on MC, at least since Crash lol.

Yeah, I did notice the crowd was much friendlier to Affleck at the Oscars than they were at the GGs (even a standing ovation) and there's even a picture of him and Leo hugging and laughing together backstage, possibly because award season is finally over. I think actors are very conscious about how they're being judged on social media these days and trying to seem "woke". Brie Larson is probably genuinely trying to take a stand but also she was VERY active on twitter during the Nate Parker scandal so it would've been glaring if she just smiled through Casey Affleck's run. A lot of celebs were notably quiet on him though, like Jessica Chastain is usually very outspoken on twitter and elsewhere but she knows Affleck from Interstellar and she basically kept quiet.

I believe he said he was running low on money around the time Out of the Furnace happened which is why he had to drop out of a Lonergan play to do that movie instead. I'm sure this has impacted his career in part but also just the whole I'm Still Here prank probably just made people go WTF what is he doing. It's also notable that in the documents their allegations involve him being drunk as hell when some of that stuff happened (the bed incident for example) and now he's said that he's sober since 2013, which is probably wise considering all the alcoholism that runs in his family. I think as long as it seems like he's cleaned up his act, he won't have problems finding work from now. Hollywood is pretty damn forgiving, look at Mel Gisbon.

I don't see what the purpose of preferential in 5 nominee categories would be either. The preferential thing is only there to prevent a random film from winning BP with like 11% of the vote. But La La Land lost Sound Mixing, which is very unusual for a musical, so I think we knew right then that this wasn't going to be a huge AMPAS love fest.

I don't think he wants to do blockbusters at all but I believe his choice to do I'm Still Here really did screw with his career after he had a stellar 2007. he and Ben have both admitted as much publically. I think he could've established himself as an equal to his BFF Joaquin as the critical/arthouse guy if he hadn't made such a weird off-putting career choice at that stage.

Does that matter though? He himself is directing his own follow up film which has already sold to overseas territories, he has Ben (who will produce and direct movies until he dies), Matt (who also produces movies), also most likely has Brad Pitt in his corner after working together several times, Joaquin and the whole Phoenix family, and his working relationship with indie darling David Lowery with their next film together co-starring Robert Redfort and Sissy Spacek. Even if everyone else in Hollywood hated him, he would have work from just his friends and family alone. lol. I doubt he was ever going to try to become an action leading man. He seems like he just wants to do his Sundance movies. Granted, most Best Actor winners don't see a huge change in their career direction anyways. That's usually the actresses. Most of the actors just continue doing whatever they were doing before.
