  1. All this Oscar talk isn’t quite as bad as when an MCU movie would come out with glowing reviews and fanboys would earnestly discuss best picture chances… but it’s not far off. Let’s talk again in ten months.
  2. Huh, surprised at One Love. In a genre that’s almost exclusively terrible it still managed to seem especially bad, but clearly there was an audience who was going to turn up regardless.
  3. Hysterical pre-review reactions seem par for the course now but despite that I can see how the first, as absorbing as it was, left headroom for improvement. The move to March now seems fortuitous - people haven’t had a big cinema experience for a while.
  4. I think it’s definitely going to be an irritating film but yeah, very easy to see it winning the year
  5. yes, and given how exhausted audiences are getting with inter-connectivity and perceived ‘homework’ that can only be a plus.
  6. The 60s setting would be a neat idea. Superhero movies now need something, anything, that separates them from the rest and that’s as good an angle as any if they really lean into it. I’ve long said they should do this with Bond for 2-3 films.
  7. Well, nice to see kirby’s ship has come in if nothing else. I’ll admit to being curious how they handle this following the previous lacklustre iterations which were already different in tone to one another.
  8. Still salty that jackman sold out and didn’t let Logan be his last wolverine appearance. there are dozens of us!
  9. isn’t this just business as usual for Sony? They’re not a studio one readily associated with quality blockbusters.
  10. like every other music biopic then. Why is it so hard to get right as a genre?
  11. Can’t wait! Tim Burton never misses so there’s zero percent chance this sucks!! 🤪
  12. He strikes me as a reasonably clever guy who’s cornered himself into only making movies for adolescents. Perhaps after this he’ll decide to aim higher. Anyway, lol at Cavil being used in the thumbnail of every terrible review even though it’s a glorified cameo. Guy can’t catch a break.
  13. I blame the studio at this point. 20 years ago there may have been a misplaced hope of getting the band back together, but seeing crypt-keeper Murray in that trailer I refuse to believe anyone really wanted… this
  14. Sigh. It’s a sequel to a reboot and they’re leaning harder into the nostalgia then ever.
  15. I’m fairly certain if I ever saw this my reaction would be: it’s no worse than half the other MCU shit that got a pass
  16. Still haven’t seen barbie, but the “gosling getting nominated and not gerwig or robbie proves the message of the film was correct” must be the stupidest award discourse ever.
  17. I for one will miss the “does this movie have a shot at a best picture nom” discourse on here every time an MCU movie came out
  18. In context I think it’s reasonable to say that not awarding lead actress or director noms counts as ‘not going nuts’ for barbie, I’m sure we can agree on that much
  19. let’s see how many actually translate into wins. Not nominating gerwig feels telling
  20. I had a feeling. If the globes didn’t go nuts for barbie there was no reason for the Oscars to
  21. Nice one Jonathon Glazer (adapted screenplay)! Blunt rather lucky IMO, but suggests Oppenheimer will get a shitload of noms as expected
  22. The quest to make the first good Jurassic Park sequel continues
