It's not offering anything new or different. Logan did dark and serious without this level of blatant awards season campaigning. But I understand why you feel the need to prop Joker. Dismissing your silly argument is not tantamount to saying a movie is better or more important than another. But going by your logic, I can now laugh at all the fanboys who fawn over Hans Simmer and claim that he should have multiple Oscars. I would respond, but "not offering anything new" and "Simmer" suggests to me that you are trolling me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The real problem with fandom is it causes so much stupid, juvenile behavior. And it seems to have descened into pure tribalism. It's not about supporting a film, it's about ripping down other films. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are seeing a real level of toxicity building between the Star Wars fans the Avatar/Cameron fans. Even some of the studio (Disney, WB, etc) stans can display toxic behavior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 13 minutes ago, Barnack said: What a fandom win mean ? What is the difference to say Denzel Washington fanbase and Jurassic Park fanbase here ? A Denzel fan still acknowledges that Mr.Washington is one man. Frequently you may see comments like, "I'm so glad he/she won 'x' award!". The fan doesn't feel any inherent ownership of the win, why I don't know cause I've had this same thought when and actor/actress won while in something I liked. Perhaps because it is the inverse of the below. I'm sure you have as well. Jurassic Park(insert franchise here) is a franchise you as the consumer actively participate in beyond the movie ticket. One might buy comics, novels, toys etc etc and therefore you feel like an active "owner" in the property and invested in its continued success.

That’s basically what happened with Green Book. It’s probably the most controversial Best Picture winger since Crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of bad Oscar decisions get made becuase Oscar Voters seem more intent on sending some kind of "Message" then in actually rewarding merits as a film. And then you have some real WTF decisions like "Shakespeare in Love" a pleasant, fun but not really great movie winning against "Saving Private Ryan" and "Elizabeth" two vastly better films. 1998 has got to be the year of the bad Oscar choices...

(I will edit my post and correct the spelling of Zimmer's name.) I'll just say, in my opinion, Joker takes on a character study about a mentally ill man to show the callousness of soicety. That is very new to CBMs. The fact that is dark and serious is an aspect of the movie, but it is not defined by it. As for the blatant award campaigning, I mean it was invited to Venice. Phillips did not ask to be invited, they just were. Logan was never even up for discussion, as awesome it was. Have a good day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how a director like that will get invited to a festival without them seeing the movie first, I am not sure how they would see the movie without having the distributor submit it first. The festival received 1,500, 2,000 movies they pick some of them to get in competition, you have to pay a fee to get in there you do not get invited out of the blue no ?, https://www.labiennale.org/en/cinema/2019/regulations Invited has in the sense: after asked if he can compete to Venice, filled a subscription form, sent the movie and paid a fee received he then received an invitation to participate?

"Phillips didn’t call the programming director of the Venice International Film Festival and ask for “Joker” to be in competition — they were simply invited and accepted." In the Golden Lion acceptance speech, Phillips said a early cut was seen by an executive in WB Italy and she sent it to the director of the festival. Then the film was invited.

Sorry but I'm not praising Phillips for simply making a CBM version of movies we've seen already. I did not say Phillips personally asked for anything. Obviously, the studio decides if a movie will get an awards campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, that how festival work, the studio submit the movie, send copies and if the jury pick them they get in, Venice didn't sent an invitation out of the blue, it was after WB demanded one.

In a decade, people will look back at this era as the one that killed the value of cinema. "This era is the best it will get" and "this era killed cinema" are pretty contradictory statements but okay I also think people shouldn't put too much stock in a festival that was happy to give an award to a literal convicted pedophile who fled America to escape justice for his horrific raping of children Edited September 10, 2019 by SpiderByte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
