I'm glad we can talk about how lifeless Malek is, and I like the guy a lot. But he's got such dead eyes that he might as well be a cgi character.

Despite being fired for not showing up to set and having multiple accusations of assault and pedophilia against him, Bryan Singer will probably make about $40 million from Bohemian Rhapsody. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/heat-vision/bryan-singer-stands-make-40-million-bohemian-rhapsody-1181130

Having finally seen the Favourite, I think it may win some hardware. Costume drama, Trump allegory, and Emma Stone- it checks a lot of boxes.

Generally speaking, the Oscars seem like a total shitshow and like no one has any idea what they're doing. but Lady Gaga is cool quote:Either today or tomorrow, the Academy will start leveling with what it is planning for the 91st Oscars on February 24. The Academy tweeted last night that all five nominated songs will be performed during the telecast, and insiders said that reports that only two — the Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper team-up “Shallow” from A Star Is Born, and Kendrick Lamar’s “All the Stars” from Black Panther — would be performed, were premature and only reflective of a proposal.

Also, Rami Malek is an awful actor and I can't believe that bug-eyed creep is going to win an Oscar.

Green Book is a touching film about an Italian man who learns to be only a little bit racist and teaches his black friend to love fried chicken.

Its so bafflingly amateur it’s hard to believe it’s directed by an industry veteran, gross rear end in a top hat aside. The shots are either super flat, or overly dramatic for little to no reason. The lighting is often done up like a horror film, and for some reason this is a look they found okay. But it shows how good Queen’s music is that it can make a big ol stinky turd into a best picture nominee. I posted a few of clips in gen chat that really sum up how poo poo it is there is nothing like this scene in the rest of the film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_s5nZ1PcOU&t=51s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9TLuJCjtlc&t=331s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM7qNm_Mmrw&t=134s

The movie (and those clips) looks awful but it's hugely popular and my local arthouse theater keeps playing it. I like to think screening it helps them subsidize all the other worthy films, which I'm okay with.

Pretty impressed by how incompetently this is shot. Actually Malek doesn't even look half decent here either. Would be a sham if he won.

I just watched Widows, and it is like a movie made within the world of Ocean's 11. It's weird because it's trying to deal with real issues in Chicago while also having Liam Neeson's almost supervillain like millionaire thief. It's like it takes place in a Chicago that still has real Chicago problems, but also plays by outlandish movie rules. It's weird and I can't tell how I feel about it, but it's A LOT.CelticPredator posted:The whole movie is lifeless.

The DGA awards were last night, and Cuarón won for Roma. Meanwhile, in what was undoubtedly the most unexpected win of the night, Bo Burnham took the First Time Director award for Eighth Grade. This was over Bradley Cooper, who was the only nominee who was also nominated in the Feature Film category and was the favorite leading up to the event. Awards are loving weird.

that one bohemian rhapsody scene making the rounds on twitter is probably the worst editing i've seen in a major motion picture outside suicide squad.

No, that honor goes to Vice, which is barely a loving movie at all, but rather an Urban Dictionary page rendered into the corpse of a screenplay.

it's a screenplay issue. it's not like a change in editing would've made it a better or more coherent film.

Everything I've seen of Bohemian Rhapsody makes it look like a parody. I almost want to see it because some of it's actually pretty funny. But what the hell is going on with Malek's teeth/mouth? I don't give a poo poo if it's more "accurate" or whatever, it's annoying and it looks stupid.

He's very clearly struggling with the prosthesis, too. I don't know what possessed everyone to think that was a good idea.

I watched Tom Hardy get into a fish tank and eat a live lobster last night, and I'm appalled this performance hasn't been recognized by the Academy. I'm completely serious.

Tom Hardy is really just having a blast in that movie. Before it came out he said his "favourite" 40 minutes had been cut out, but you know full well it's just more goofy poo poo like that.

It's a genuinely good performance that keeps you watching what would have otherwise been a DC universe quality movie. I'm glad Mark Kermode broke away from the critical groupthought and essentially said it's a bad film that he ended up quite enjoying. I didn't really have any desire to watch it until the early reviews came back saying "Yeah this isn't good, but you kind of have to see it". Good on Tom Hardy.

-Green Book if you want a hatewatch -Cold War is immaculately gorgeous & should be seen on the big screen, but it could leave you feeling cold, though it does hit that 90-minute sweetspot. -The Oscar-nominated shorts obviously have the most variety and probably the choice you are most likely to have fun at.
