A industry that was made to show all kinds of movies being used to show just films from just one studio is pretty much the definition of that industry going downhill. Just because you'd prefer that doesn't change it. And maybe you should try watching those other movies too.

One joke got a really big laugh (wrote what joke it was in the spoiler thread). Awkwafina and another character I wont mention got consistent laughs. Annoying guy filming the bus fight got some laughs too. I think I heard some people whisper "whoa" twice during the last act but not too sure.
The joke about Awkwafina's character doing a honor thesis at Berkeley got my theater crowd going wild (and would not be surprised if that happens during every show here). Only joke that got a laugh out of me too.
Was supposed to go watch this in the weekdays to watch this but me and my roommates got nothing to do tonight so we just booked a show that starts in half an hour lol
European critics were pretty mixed/lukewarm on Power of the dog (Hand of God on the other hand getting raves) so that's where the bad buzz came from.
And Belfast rose in your predictions? The movie ended up being overshadowed by two other Telluride premieres yesterday and I wouldn't be surprised if it kept getting overshadowed throughout its festival run.
Having listened to the Dune sketchbook tracks, I think we can safely put Zimmer down for a score nom. I'd even say he has a shot at being the frontrunner (funny that Desplat is doing the score for both Anderson and Del Toro films this year since Zimmer lost to Desplat's scores for both these filmmaker's previous films).
It's called bad campaigning. I don't remember the last time MGM got a BP nomination and as I said before, WB likes to focus on one movie each year (and this year it's Dune, but it could be this if Dune flops hard). But still kinda weird there considering that they did take both joker and just mercy to TIFF in 2019.
