Rhianna just had a baby in May so she probably didn't put the usual time into these two songs.

I hope you realise Rihanna doesn’t write her songs.. never has.

This rumour was started by some people to hype F4 as they were expecting F4 cast reveal this year.

Ya know, when I first heard the rumor this summer, I thought it was cool, but a little out of place. Then I started becoming more excited. But still thought it was slightly out of place. When this popped up, I was slightly disappointed, but then thought "eh-ya know what, it's too much too fast". Again, I thought it was a bit out of place so it's probably good to have dropped it.

 

One of the best things about the first BP (well among the other "best" things) is that it works completely as its own entity and franchise.

Infinity War's ending was probably the saddest of any cbm blockbuster.

 

It did perfectly fine.

 

And I don't buy the argument that Titanic doesn't count because it was historical. The ending was dark and as depressing as it gets.

 

Reaching a bit when people obviously knew that there would be something to bring them back in the next film. Still really like the film, though!

Yeah. Suspenseful? Yes. But I wouldn't really call IW's ending sad because it was anything but permanent.

so in their final role: it’s essentially part funeral.

This  

 

 

And speaking of funerals, I assume that because of COVID we’re not gonna get some Tony’ funeral, where we get everyone showing up in that scene to pay their respects. Which, as a fan, I find so profoundly disappointing, because that’s how it always is in the comic books when someone big dies. From a Watsonian POV, you can hand wave it as the Wakandans don’t want anyone in their country. But from a Doylist POV, this just sucks.

So nothing in the past 20 years. My point exactly

It took 20 years between Silence of the Lambs and Get Out for a horror movie to get nominated for Best Picture. Just because it hasn’t happened in a while, doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

 

PS/Mod Note:

 

can we lay off the anti-Grace talk? it doesn’t feel constructive, it just feels mean. The best thing to do with her, is to just ignore her existence.

Exactly my point.

@Cap let's make the title a little more positive lol?

Add critic Anne Thompson to the list if raves.

 

 

 

I foresee Black Panther, Avatar, and Top Gun all getting nominated for BP in a desperate attempt for viewers.  The last few Oscar ceremonies have had absolutely abysmal ratings and they've pretty much slid into culturally irrelevancy now.  Its like Will Smith reminded everyone 'oh yeah, thats a thing still' when he got mad and slapped Chris Rock.

 

I don't think its a bad thing to nominate movies like this if they're good enough, but I think it may be too little too late now after a solid decade+ of shunning movies people actually watch.  Plus, the culture is gravitating more towards streaming and TV shows.

It’s the emotions within the viewers that are mixed, but the reaction to that experience, including the emotional roller coaster, are overwhelmingly positive

OK, I'm blocking anyone who continues to post anything about you-know-who.  😐

Nate Moore, one of Feige's liutenants and his right hand man for this movie, just deconfirmed one of the biggest rumours surrounding this movie this year. I'll spoiler tag the interview just in case:

I know thumbnails have to catch the eye on Youtube but my god.

Have some respect ya'll. She's an RT certified critic. Her opinions have an effect on whether people think a movie is good or not.

[jedijake]

I like the new thread title. Much more fitting!

[filmlover]

A+ thread title. What a true Queen deserves.

TG:M has grossed more than the past 13 Best Picture Winners combined.

 

AVATAR grossed more than every Best Picture Winner that has come out following its nomination combined.

People were shook after Infinity Wars ending. Most casuals did not assume the infinity stones would bring everyone back. All they knew is that half the universe got ashed.

 

I remember dead silence in the theater with lots of confusion.

 

No one was laughing while saying "oh they'll be back". That's revisionism.
