I enjoyed some bits of the show, but between the insane running time and the self-indulgence it is not a surprise that the audience for this thing is dwindling. There's simply too much good TV nowadays and Jimmy Kimmel will always be a lowest common denominator type of host.

Also it was pointed out to me that Al Paccino spent far more time onstage presenting on the Game Awards than he did here, and I find that amazing tbh

Whoever made the decisions regarding the In Memoriam segment should be fired.

I did go back and check the year for Sideways and Giamatti absolutely should have won for that over Foxx in Ray nobody even remembers Ray Musician biopics should never win awards, they're dime-a-dozen

Sideways is a masterpiece for sure, always fun to watch. I do think he's significantly better in Holdovers, top of his game. But in general, comedy and a certain mix of quirkiness does seem like it has a tougher time winning awards.

I think the major reason I'm bummed Opp got director and best nods is that it just feels like a significantly safer movie to make. Would never have thought someone would make a Barbie movie that is as phenomenal as it was. That they got permission to take the plot where they did, all the production stuff, etc. Would have been nicer to see it get more nods to reward the risk. Opp is a very inherently interesting story (guy makes big boom), but imo the risk they do take (let's focus on everything around the bomb and not really the bomb itself) they drop the ball on entirely with a nonsense scooby-doo villain subplot with RDJ. They got me in the seat because of the initial story, but then told it in a boring way. Killer's of the Flower Moon did something similar, but the twist (movie about white guys taking land) ended in a twist I felt really worked. Still, yay Godzilla. Yay Poor Things.

Gaius Marius posted:She was the lead of the movie. The fulcrum of the movie. The emotional heart of the movie. And she gave a better performance than Stone did. She was loving robbed and anybody who voted for Stone should be ashamed. She should've been but she wasn't in the movie Scorsese made, which was just another rehashing of the Goodfellas formula. There was an article talking about how the role got beefed up after Gladstone was cast, getting up to 100 minutes of screentime, except the movie is 206 minutes long. She spends the third act of the movie on the brink of death.

I have to imagine there's a cut of Oppenheimer out there with no explosions in it at all and it's for sure a better version of the movie than what the real one drat good movie but could have been great with some tweaks

It was a loving slog and a half, and I thought she was imminently about to be killed off, and she was the only reason I sat through the first half so I gave up. Her character just slowly dying through the back half must have been somehow even more miserable than the first half.

It's funny how there's theoretically a two hour cut of Oppenheimer that leaves Downey out completely and it's probably a better movie.

There's a really great question asked about how a person grapples knowing they contributed to a weapon like that, and I think a lot of actual rumination on that got lost in the movie's weird focus on Strauss's point of view. Left me kind of wishing they had gone way one or another more fully.

Left me kind of wishing they had gone way one or another more fully. Nolan likes to lean on other movies/books as a writer and apparently settled on Amadeus for this one.

You know, I never really thought about it until reading the last few posts but in retrospect, yeah, I’m not really sure what purpose the Strauss plot line served other than to insert some semblance of a villain into proceedings. Maybe the book goes into it a lot deeper/better but I’m not sure it translated to screen all that well.

She spends the third act of the movie on the brink of death. Hari doesn't appear in Solaris until an hour and eleven minutes. I guess that means she isn't the lead, or the heart of the movie either. I cannot get inside the mind of someone who watched Killers and thought it was just another Scorsese gangster film. It's a complete and total failure to understand the film

I don't even really remember that character(Strauss) from the film (I haven't watched it since the theater run) If I was going with memorable supporting actors in it... Damon more than RDJ for me. Or Branagh as Bohr

Killers is infinitely better paced than Oppenheimer which just loving meanders up to the point I turned it off (1.5 hrs or so).
