By.obnoxious you.mean intelligent,.right?
Compromise. Self-aware? I found TFIOS pseudo-intelligent and aware of its pitfalls, yet that wasn't enough.

Isnt Toronto press/guests only like all big competitive festivals?
I don't think so! I have a student industry badge, though, so I don't really know.
IIRC correctly there are ticket packages you can get for most events. The galas are hella expensive, but then some packages are almost normal movie price.

Would love to go again, but I think my travel budget's spent this year.
I definitely understand that. It is my entire travel budget and I am staying in a hostel and got a great deal on a student badge.

Question!
Is anyone going to the Toronto International Film Festival this year?
-
I kind of give all of these directors benefit of the doubt and say that if there is a good final product and it makes it's money, they get a pass.
DOR is especially safe because people bitch about him being bad with people. Yet he pulls Oscar and other award nominations out of actors like no one else in the history of ever. He must be doing something right.

Pigeon won't be for everyone! But it was completely engulfed in the atmosphere and actually cried during the last villanelle because of how perfectly it tied everything together
and the theme is quite relevant as a selfish, college aged student.

I thought It Follows was cool because of the STD parable, so the ending kind of made perfect sense in that case.

Low RT score ≠ bad movie
Wait, isn't that exactly what it means? That's a percentage of how many professional critics liked the movie. That is like saying, few winning games ≠ bad sports team.
Just like people like bad sports teams people can like bad movies. It doesn't change the fact that they are bad.
-
My prediction is opening day: 15
Saturday: 10
Sunday: 7
34 OW
Total: 60
Is this a joke? I think I might be too dense lol. A 1.76 multiplier would be pitiful especially since most of us think this will score with critics.
It is probably a joke and I fell for the trap. :/

This doesn't have a release date here
Don't worry, it isnt any good.

I think I'm one of the bigger apologists for critic-baiting films around here, but I find that movie as disposable as Cars.
I actually have a review website and and definitely part of the target audience for "critic-baiting" movies. But, what an abysmal, inaccurate and generic film that really degraded the genius of an openly gay man and made him some unlikable coward. Still can't get over how much award traction that got.

The most satisfying part of JW was at the end when me and my friend looked at each other wide-eyed for like the first half minute of credits, and he says, 'well, that was shit.' A godawful film that ended with a great theater memory for me.
Anywho...
Ant-Man 15.2
Minions 14.6
Trainwreck 8.6
IO 3.7
JW 3.6
That's exactly my experience with The Imitation Game.

Damn. Lubezki is a genius. Certainly his third in a row. That whole natural light concept is so impossibly hard and it looks like he nailed it.
The rhythmic breathing juxtaposed with the drums was annoying. This is probably not going to nab Leo that Oscar though, it doesn't really cater to what the Academy usually likes.
Unpopular opinion: Leonardo Dicaprio is a ham and has not been ripped off of an Oscar. He just hasn't deserved one yet.

Youre lowballing Ant-Man, it will get $60m OW.
These are screen counts...

People go on about superhero movies becoming formulatic, but oscar bait movies have been following the same system for so long. DOR's last 3 are all basically the same movie in terms of construction when it boils down to it, and Joy looks no different. IMO his best is honestly Three Kings, and one reason is becasue he wasnt trying to pander to the Oscar audience.
These movies are good, but theyre all the same thing, from the movies themselves to the nominations and whos nominated to the awards shows. Joy looks good by that trailer, but nothing stands out and makes it not look like your typical winter adult drama release.
Its bad when you already can basically lock the director, actress, cinematographer, supporting actor, and writer for noms. Only rarely is it clear miss, ie Counselor.
Biggest evidence is J Law nominated for AH rather than CF. her performance in CF was overlooked becasue its a blockbuster, but she really brought down the house in that movie. In AH all she did was cry on queue, scream, and go "Carmine!" in a bad New York accent. She only got nominated because it was AH, not because it was truly levitating performance, like CF. And Joy will be no different. You'll see.
Eh. You're kind of selling your opinions as facts. Accents matter less to the Awards bodies then people make it out for. I found her performance in CF fine, but her American Hustle performance was pretty damn impressive. It was a layered portrayal of a young woman who grew up too fast and is completely lost in her own devices. I thought when she tearfully said "I don't like change" (after her date) was incredibly effecting and one of her best on screen moments. It isn't like it was just the AAMPS that ate up her performance, it was all of the critics too. Hell, most of them awarded Lawerence of Lupita. Besides, Lawerence was nominated in supporting and she is lead in Hunger Games. They could award both if they felt inclined.
Furthermore, I think DOR movies seem similar because they have a great energy to them. Aesthetically, Joy looks far different than his other work. His cinematography is usually quite bland, but here it looks dreamy and really Christmas-y.
Would it be fun if the Academy didn't award the same directors and topics every year? Hell yeah. But DOR is kind of like Scorsese to me. Their movies are each clearly their own and they appeal to the Academy. I don't like to think that they are actually prying for nominations and awards.

Some really good reviews from test screenings. Apparently the trailer actually undersells how funny the movie is. That makes me really excited.
The part with Maya Rudolph kills me.

I bet 50 points Inside Out is over Jurassic World this weekend 2 people
And these three please!

This will probably do quite well over-seas,yeah?
Why is Mara in this? How is this what her career needs? Love her to death, but strange choice in her part.

So what's this about?
EDIT having just read up on it, this trailer had the most unnecessary shit in it ever. It's about the woman that created the Miracle Mop...
Wow. You thoroughly missed the point then.

But should we buy into the tabloids when DOR has been able to retain a cast through his last three films?
I don't doubt he was actual asshole in the 90s, but I don't buy the whole JLaw fight.
