I mean I'm a pretty balanced person (so hyped for Sonic 2!), but a lot of my preferences are losing ground and are being pushed further towards irrelevancy. I think I'm allowed to vent on what's the big problem. Plus, I didn't go after anybody specifically for their tastes, just a general public thing. If you know you don't just like cheap thrills, then you're not part of the problem. You cool. Oh I'm more than fine. Work was pretty hectic, but I got through it. I just don't like this whole insinuation about how "Oscar movies are so niche! They don't award the movies people really care about like they used to", as if what they nominate is somehow bad or these cultish, inaccessible pieces. There's nothing inaccessible or hard to get into with King Richard or Belfast or CODA or West Side Story. Some are a bit more artistically-minded or out there, but a movie like Licorice Pizza isn't this niche, hard to understand film. And I think it's pretty wack that these movies, which would have made the top 10 back in the 70s or 80s or 90s are being disrespected and that they're inaccessible or hard to get a grasp on. I might be harsh in what I say, but sometimes that's the only solution. Sorry.

Honey it ain't less accessible, at least in quality and content. It's just that their marketing and distribution is way worse. Plus audiences today are so undemanding and only want cheap thrills out of their entertainment that the very idea of a movie that isn't designed to sell toys or milk sequels out of is too much for their tiny brains to handle. Baby food culture is a disease, and sadly nobody wants to grow up and act like adults

Please don't.

Kevin Costner was the only one who got the assignment. Legend! EDIT: Oh right, Lady Gaga too. Get those guys to host next year, that would be amazing.

Reviews so far seem to be 3/5s across the board. Which...yeah, that sounds about right.

Moderation Probably should have done this sooner, but things are getting super heated right now and I think it's fair to take a minute and breathe, because the tensions and fighting is getting too strong here. I'll reopen this thread a little later, probably when we get viewership numbers. Anybody who continues this conversation elsewhere will see warning points.

Claire's actually Latino, but go off I guess.

Because it's the truth.

Yeah, it does kind of feel like he's been going through mental health issues. I've experienced those kind of stuff before, and there's definitely signs in his speech and mannerisms. It's made a lot of these memes uncomfortable IMO

Moderation Guys, this whole "NWH isn't actually an MCU movie" stuff is beyond old. It's clear you guys won't agree on this stuff, so why continue this argument?
