CoolioD1

Ready to pull a Jackson Maine and piss on stage.

predictions. expecting a clean sweep my first 100% picture: oppenheimer director: nolan actor: cillian actress: emma stone supp actor: rdj supp actress: djr original screenplay: anatomy of a fall adapted screenplay: american fiction international feature: zone of interest animated: across the spiderverse documentary: 20 days in mariupol doc short: the last repair shop animated short: war is over live action short: henry sugar score: oppenheimer song: billie eilish cinematography: oppenheimer production design: poor things costumes: barbie make up: maestro editing: oppenheimer sound: oppenheimer vfx: the creator

the first two had characters survive. Ali Larter made it to the second one. i dunno, i'm pro killing every character. it's the fun of these movies. it's the point!

i wonder if it's a post-COVID thing that box office will start to become important again in crowning best picture winners, as the whole industry is kinda fighting for relevance rn. Even Everything Everywhere was the first indie breakout success post-COVID, which definitely went a big way to securing its win.

does anyone remember not long after the first one hit Jeffrey Katzenberg was talking about how Kung Fu Panda was gonna be this big six movie saga that they had already mapped out the whole plot? he was definitely lying about that but anyway two more to go.

This is a franchise where no matter how bad it gets I'll always enjoy it. even the fourth one nobody likes. it has a man's organs getting suctioned out of his asshole so still pretty good.

Dune 2 should i suppose make all the same nominations the first film got. Better reviews and box office will counteract the film's earlier release date. maybe less wins though. If it had stayed in November 2023 I think it would've only won visual effects. it would've lost all the head-to-heads with Oppenheimer.

i liked it a lot. My second favourite talking fetus movie after Blonde.

Today's kids want more "Fast" Eddie Felson movies, I think.

is the COVID info thing at the bottom of that tweet because they put the words "positive test" together like that?

eh, I like a couple movies Akiva has directed but I don't know about this one. Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin is the kind of thing that makes you think "oh that's fun casting" when you hear it but i wouldn't be shocked if he's just totally flat in the part.

Austin Butler as The Unknown in Wonka 2.

I was talking to my brother today about The Matrix, he just rewatched it, and it did occur to me that if The Matrix came out today I think it probably gets like 10 nominations. It's something the Academy seems more receptive to now. Maybe it doesn't win, but last year's best picture is certainly indebted to it.

I just watched Open Range for the first time like a month ago. Hey, that's a great movie. Sorry KCost i wasn't familiar with your game etc. this looks similar.

people are weird about him. actors are kooky idk whatever.

The Creator is obviously the achievement of the year in this category I guess the only thing holding it back is the fact that basically nobody cares about that movie and a bunch of Academy members probably won't even watch it. That's why best picture nominees usually win when they're nominated. Like Poor Things won the BAFTA and would probably take this if it was nominated.

1. Sicario 2. Blade Runner 2049 3. Prisoners 4. Dune 5. Arrival I should get into some of his old canadian movies maybe.

Armond White's contrarianism was a fun read maybe 15-20 years ago but nowadays he just does the same "WOKE MIND VIRUS" routine as 7 million other wannabe cultural commentators. you barely hear about his reviews anymore because he's just another one in that crowd.

Don’t understand why Maggie is going so hard against this one Tom Cruise isn’t even in it.

Damn, this after Harvey Weinstein buried Snowpiercer's release back in the day. Bong is never making another American movie again.

could be a dud could just be a weird/not commercially friendly movie that WB doesn't know what to do with.

it's bong joon hover.

damn i wish motherfuckers had supported The Creator. but i think he can bring a sense of scale and wonder back to the dinos in this franchise if given the opportunity to do so.

Yeah he's just gonna post it on youtube next week

Bob marley merch is a big thing if you want you can still call that a nostalgic toy commercial.
