Lucas

Getting everything in order with some Oscar themed drinks and a drinking game for the show. Hopefully gonna be a great night.

Just about finished watching the nominees in all the categories, but the remaining 3 I haven't seen are still nowhere to be found around here, so uh I guess I'll just leave them be.

lol. lmao even.

got it,

Similar on letterboxd where the average was at 4.54/5 with like 70k members watched last night and now with 115k members it's gone up to 4.61.

The more reactions I read from moviegoers the more it just confirms this really will go down as one of those sequels we look back on in decades to come.

I'm so in for a skilled craftsman like Edwards making a real schlock blockbuster out of a premise that sounds like that kinda trash. And boy is Jurassic Shark trash.

There's a pretty fundamental part you're missing here, which is that Denis said "I don't remember movies because of a good line". He's not making some wide statement about how all moviegoers think, he's talking about himself.

Uhm yeah that's what Denis is talking about, but have you read a lot of the responses to it in this thread or elsewhere? They make it seem as though he's dissing the entire concept of films having scripts.

Once again minimum amount of dialogue does not mean there isn't a story, and a script isn't just a bunch of characters saying lines.

The 8.7/10 average rating still being around is gonna have more value the more reviews come in.

Saw it yesterday, really good but not one of my favorites among the nominees. I wasn't wholly taken by the material itself, mostly the craft behind it.

People seem to think scripts are just lines of dialogue. My God there's so much more that goes into that artform.

Very possible and likely Edwards is just going for the classic "one for them, one for me" maneuver. But also I completely buy that he would drop everything for a chance to do Jurassic Park, like he said.

I usually don't count animated movies for these things, but while it's close Dune still has the upper hand. The average rating was the same but Across had twice as many rottens at this point.

That's the one I've been blanking on, their performances on RT are very similar so far.

This could either be the worst thing ever made or "pretty good I guess"

The last rotten was now 79 reviews ago and the average rating hasn't even moved an inch. I can't recall a franchise blockbuster doing this well after so many reviews since The Dark Knight.

Oppenheimer has had one of the most definitive landslide sweeps across all awards bodies so far, whatever barriers it had have been demolished by a nuke by now.

Most depressing thing I've read in here all day because... yeah.

Oppenheimer is winning.

It is now after nearly 500 reviews, not after 122.

Some comparisons with other recent-ish blockbusters that smashed the RT percentage and/or average rating at this point (122 reviews) Dune Part 2 98% - 8.6/10 Oppenheimer 93% - 8.8/10 Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning 98% - 8.1/10 (MI7 then continued up to 99% and didn't get a third rotten until way later) Top Gun: Maverick 97% - 8.3/10 The Batman 91% - 8.2/10 Spider-Man: No Way Home 95% - 7.9/10 Avengers: Endgame 97% - 8.2/10 Mission: Impossible - Fallout 98% - 8.4/10 Black Panther 98% - 8.2/10

btw having seen the movie I can obviously confirm the Academy would be absolutely nuts not to nominate this for pretty much every category it would qualify for. Chalamet is obviously never gonna happen since it never does for leads in these movies, but he's so good in this. And if I could pick myself I'd put Zendaya up for Lead Actress instead of Supporting. Ofc in actuality if they even bother trying to push any of the actors then Zendaya will have a stronger case in Supporting.
