Have not seen Spectre yet but Writing on the Wall was a pretty terrible song. Even worse than Die Another Day (which at least made me laugh a lot).

Negative review from AA Dowd/AV Club incoming (he thought it was the worst film of the Craig era). Tallerico also seemed mixed. Guessing the final score will be low 70s.

I'm guessing that's because the same guys who gave this full marks also gave Spectre the same rating.

Funnily enough, guild screenings for the movie were today.

Thank the movie gods. I don't have to pay to watch this piece of shit. And now I finally understand why non-critics I follow were able to watch it last week. Edit: Lol, I didn't see @AJG's comment. I wish I watched it earlier.

So, are we getting a talking shark in this?

I think that story is still true. One of the sources who someone who literally knew the programmers. Could just be one of those films that Americans like a lot more than Europeans. I mean we have had practically no reviews from the European press so far.

The way the action scenes were edited was good, actually.

I got an ad for some show called The Conner on Twitter and holy shit, John Goodman lost so much weight he looks almost unrecognizable.

Lol, no.

This is not how the Oscars work lmao.

Yeah, I was wondering this too. I feel like both should be able to coexist, but idk. I think $100 mil by October 1st is still a pretty probable goal.

LMFAO, the opening credits song is a Celdweller song? I honestly thought Clouser was involved with that song, but never would've thought Celdweller would be involved in a movie like this.

@Jake Gittes Watching this movie called Robin-B-Hood and it contains a Don't Go Breaking My Heart reunion (although not really one I guess since Don't Go Breaking My Heart was made after this). Funniest bit is Daniel Wu's character falls for Louis Koo's character in this.

That does not change the point I made. The Oscar do not choose to nominate the most obscure films of the year and give them awards. This year was maybe the one exception, but practically every release released last year was one no one gave a shit aboit. I mean just a year ago we had Joker and two years ago we had Black Panther and Bohemian Rhapsody (and films like Green Book and Ford v Ferrari which were smaller hits films a lot of people did watch). And when we take audience ratings especially into account, the taste of Oscar voters really does not diverge much from that of general audiences. You just don't like that the Academy doesn't vote for that one specific franchise you like.

Hollywood has awarded something a lot of people watch in the cinemas a bunch of times. You all just grumpy they don't have the same tastes as you guys.

Just on a cam recording, this movie looks fucking beautiful. Put me on the hype (and BP win) train.

I so want to watch this opening day but I don't want to pay for it. Couldn't Universal execs have put this shit on Peacock instead of Halloween Kills?

Because both of them made awards specific prestige films afterwards and not a superhero blockbuster. If Del Toro went onto direct Hellboy 3 or something instead of Nightmare Alley, no one would be calling Hellboy 3 a Best Picture contender.

It's still too late for the Academy to start adding categories for this year's right now. If they wanted to make that change they would've added it earlier this year. And few people said the same thing about Black Panther at this point of time just like few people said the same thing about Joker at this point in time. Unlike either of those, this has no Oscar buzz at the moment. And get that "you're being sexist" shit out of here. It's just annoying. If Villeneuve or any other acclaimed new director was directing a Marvel or DC superhero movie, yeah we would be saying the same thing.

You're really desperate for this movie to get Oscar recognition. It's too late for the Academy to start adding categories.

Curb and Sunny are still pretty hilarious. But otherwise, yeah.
