trifle

Well, looks like you might be right, apparently there is a teaser out there...

Pretty much, and this year it is mostly made up stuff. The 'hurricanes are because Trump was elected' she never said, etc etc. She still can't stand Trump though, so they don't care if she really said something or not. What's worse imho is the so called mainstream things like People or whatever which will have a headline that isn't true with a note in the story saying 'actually this isn't true'. She's click bait. To some people it's because they love her to others they want to be outraged. Click bait media responds. Add an ax to grind like Brietbart has.....

As far as I can tell, he's just saying it is long. Twitter is practically incandescent on this film, otherwise.

Everything I've seen on twitter until this was just fantastic. Pretty long, but I guess if it's great, you just want it to continue...

She tends to mix money makers with passion project type movies.

so at least there is some interest from the trailer.

I did. I hadn't read yet that the sounds were actually Jen's voice distorted, so I will pay attention to that next time....Aronofsky wasn't kidding when he said she 'was the score'! I did notice new things, but mostly I was able to appreciate aspects of it more. The first time I was reacting quite a bit and didn't really have the luxury of dwelling. It is extremely well made.

I understand there have only been about 12 F Cinemascores since the scoring began. I wonder how many of the others had 74 scores on metacritic.

There are links to eight other articles in there, as well. Spoilers, though!

I think she has box office draw at least as much as any actress, but I don't think that means a movie reported to be booed or as loved by the intellegencia, but hard to watch, will open wide across the nation based on one star - any star. I'm glad Jen did mother! but not (obviously) for box office reasons.

It is a spy story, and there are a lot of them, male protaganist mostly, but female also. What is different about this one is it was written by an ex CIA operative and actually goes into spycraft - in the book, anyhow. There are other differences, but they are spoilery. Still, I don't think having another spy story is more repetitive than having another science fiction movie or any other genre. I'm hoping this will be a good one. People who saw 20 minutes of it raved about it... I hope the whole movie is good.

I'm seeing it again tomorrow, as well! There are no actor credits... I suspect Aronofsky just created it on the spot for his reddit q& a this morning. But he and Jen are flying to Korea for a film festival soon. They already did that. If it had opened on a platform release it wouldn't even have HAD a cinemascore. Oh well! Yeah. Except click bait articles are captioning headlines "JLaw flips off critics of her movie" or whatever, when she was really relating a story about how she reacted to Aronofsky when Aronofsky came to her, oxygen tubes in her nose, with a torn diaphragm, telling her they needed to shoot 'that scene' again, because it was fuzzy. In another interview DA said he had decided to take the camera off of her back, shooting her 'perspective' of that scene, and put it on her face because 'you just don't see emotion like that!' So he kinda deserved it, imho. And probably thought the result was worth it, from the fact that he's laughing in the picture, as she does it.

at the Academy screening tonight in NY

So it seems Jen was cheated out of a credit.... Spoiler warning! https://moviepilot.com/p/jennifer-lawrence-mother-score-voice/4373783 also: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-mother-darren-aronofsky-meaning-backlash-20170920-story.html

Yeah, I'm glad she did this, and I know she wants to do indies, so there are probably more to come. She'll do the big stuff too, of course

This article has thematic spoilers (Jen discusses the metaphors and allegories) but not actual action. And it's a good article, imho. And I love that Jen has DA programed into her phone as 'The Dark Lord'. Every couple should have pet names.... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/19/movies/jennifer-lawrence-darren-aronofsky-mother-explained.html?smid=tw-nytimesarts&smtyp=cur

Here's probably my last post on mother! budget unless I get something definitive. The media were all saying $13M until BOM just came out with $30M and now they are all saying that. Meanwhile Aronofsky has been talking about how cheap the movie was in a way that sounds to me a lot more like the $13M number. The interview is in Vulture, and I would post the link but it has major spoilers and I am not sure if I'm allowed to post article links with spoilers in the weekend thread. You could google the text, though, if you want to find it. Anyhow, I hope it's $13M because I'm glad they made this, but I don't see how they would have thought this divisive a movie would make a huge amount of money to begin with.

OK, I guess I'm not up on the Netflix animosity. The mention of Netflix added nothing to the comment for me, so it could have been omitted, imho.
