  1. Really worried about how this year's box office is looking top heavier than usual even post-COVID. Really need at least one of the adult films to do 50m domestic next month.
  2. I'd kill for this movie to make enough money for it to have any actual controversy or discourse tbh. I think it's hysterics regardless but it's definitely hysterics for something that's going to do like 11/26 domestically. I also don't see what "danger" people are possibly talking about - what is an Alex Garland A24 movie going to inspire, after eight years of unbelievable divisiveness, mass shootings, Neo-Nazis, and an actual coup attempt - what violence or discourse can this inspire that is beyond what is already happening in America? Like this is the straw that broke the camel's back?
  3. Never understood the hate for this film on these boards based on, I guess, a throwaway out of context line about political coalitions in the trailer? This is the exact kind of movie we should want - big budget auteur blockbuster with actual political stakes. It's the ideal type of film we should be supporting for adults. Glad to hear it is great.
  4. Still not sold on the box office potential but glad the reviews came in as hyped - I remember all the pre-hype of Bullet Train reviews and it stunk up the joint (terrible movie). I actually think Deadpool 2 is his best movie by far and it seems to hit more of that tone.
  5. He's a beast. Insane how amazing all the 1970s lineups are and how shitty all the 1980s lineups are. Reagan and Thatcher era the pits.
  6. Amazing year. I just rewatched The French Connection the other day speaking of Hackman, and what a weird fucking Best Picture winner. Terrific film, but it's just a fucking action movie except with paradigm shaking levels of directing and grit.
  7. https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2020/02/06/oscars-what-should-have-won-best-picture/?_pml=1 Some spicy takes. I actually agree with Chinatown over Godfather II at the start. Godfather II obviously amazing but Chinatown is a perfect movie in every way outside of the "Personal Life" section of the director's Wikipedia. Godfather I is better than II and Chinatown is my philistine opinion.
  8. Oppenheimer one of the few films that would win every single year (though it would be weird if it won pre-1945). Past dominant winners like Dances With Wolves, Lawrence of Arabia and Gone With The Wind too problematic for modern sensibilities. Lord of the Rings and Silence of the Lambs and any musical too genre for certain eras. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest swept up but might not be "important" enough to win all the time. Even Titanic and Forrest Gump might get picked apart for being too goofy these days, though they did give it to Coda and EEAAO. Godfather I and II, Amadeus, Casablanca, Oppenheimer off top of my head that check every box in every era. May have forgotten something but point is Oppenheimer up there with most dominant contenders ever.
  9. I'd love to show an actual art film to any of the people who call the yearly Oscar Best Picture nominees "arty." Poor Things (which I didn't like) looks like Avengers: Endgame compared to a huge swath of acclaimed independent, foreign, and arthouse cinema.
  10. Ryan Gosling is huge in the zeitgeist right now and a very talented guy but the next time he is a draw in an action film will be the first. Notebook, La La Land, Barbie, and Crazy Stupid Love. Those are his hits, and they all are not dude-targeted action movies from the director of John Wick. That's why I'm skeptical of Fall Guy compared to some predictions here. Anyway, I love Jeffrey Wright.
  11. John Cena, The Rock, and Bad Bunny all presented in a row. General public would be amazed by who has had better WWE matches recently in that group.
  12. The thing is I LOVE The Lobster and Sacred Deer. Absolutely love. Was mildly disappointed in the Favourite, and hated this starting around the 40 minute mark.
  13. Poor Things winning all these awards. I feel like the scene in Mad Men when Don Draper listened to the Beatles and was mad he didn't get it. I do know all of John Cena's lore, though.
