  1. LMFAO Variety said this wouldn't go to Cannes. They getting everything wrong
  2. Fuck DIRECTV. I hope the company dies as soon as possible. Fuckers charged me $60 for eventhough I cancelled my subscription (and the only way was to chat with someone). I only wanted to use the free trial to watch the Oscars and didn't know I'd have to go through all this shit. How do I even get my money's worth on this?
  3. If this is gender switched Pretty Woman, I assume that Newton was supposed to and Hayek is playing the Gere of this movie. I'd say an upgrade tbh.
  4. My best picture rn would look like: 1. 25th Hour 2. Catch Me if You Can 3. Minority Report 4. Spider-man 5. Kannathil Muthumital 6. The Ring 7. Punch Drunk Love 8. Hero 9. Two Towers 10. The Pianist Everyone's heard of all the films on here, except for probably Kannathil Muthumital so FYC: An incredibly powerful melodrama involving the Sri-Lankan civil war and one of the most horrifying movies I saw as a kid. It's also from one of my favorite directors of all time (Mani Ratnam). Probably gonna do a rewatch of this myself. Gonna try to watch Femme Fatale, Solaris, Windtalkers, Far From Heaven, Demonlover, Unfaithful, and Devdas.
  5. Main thing I got out of this too. I remember watching him play Short Round in Indy 2 and getting annoyed that he didn't re-appear in any of the sequels and even more annoyed when I found out he practically didn't have an acting career afterwards. Really hope he actually gets to have one now (if that's what he wants). I think this movie would've failed without him and Yeoh.
  6. Considering that both the stories and the effects of blockbusters have gotten worse since Avatar, I don't think thats true.
  7. She isn't progressive at all lmao. Just look at her upcoming non-blockbuster roles on top of her already playing in an Air Force ad. She's just a feminist, which is a pretty standard opinion to have.
  8. This movie is getting Parasite-level reception from audiences. A24's campaign wouldn't have to be that strong if the movie maintains audience buzz into the fall.
  9. Pretty good opening but I feel like releasing EEAAO right now wasn't a good move. It's so crowded and will probably impact the movie's legs. Really thinking this should've released in August. Would've boosted it's Oscar chances too.
  10. The pre-Avengers and GOTG films look better than any 2018-2022 films from them. Just compare Asgard in Thor to Thor 3. Night and day.
  11. Did they use FPV drones in this movie? They didn't. So it doesn't rule.
  12. Sure, there are outliers. But The Batman is also a 3 hr long superhero movie with little action. Not exactly as much of a 4 quadrant crowdpleaser as this is trying to be.
  13. The Fabelmans Killers of the Flower Moon Empire of Light Thirteen Lives Avatar 2 The Son Babylon She Said The Greatest Beer Run Ever Broker Alt: Elvis Only way a foreign film is getting in is through critics pushing it imo (like the last couple times) and I think Broker will be a much bigger hit with critics than Bardo or Decision to Leave. Inarittu has an easier in since he has industry clout already, but I think the work abuse allegations will bite him in the ass. I think the win would be a toss between Thirteen Lives and She Said, if both end up getting nominated (probably gonna be the worst two films out of the ones I listed too lol).
