Has Taratino not won an oscar yet? Lets hope his last movie is a good one, it would be a serious shame to have one of the best directors of post 90s to finish his career without one.

I remember lots of handwringing prior to the movies release that it might become some sort of alt-right/incel cultural touchstone, but as far as I’ve seen or read, it came out and basically everyone fell somewhere between “that wasn’t very good” and “that was okay I guess”. https://twitter.com/ElRafaFTW/status/1226730229722279937?s=19 https://twitter.com/YellowFlashGuy/status/1226737150277844993?s=19 https://twitter.com/Chandler_Ingram/status/1226845317573808128?s=19 You can find these people on Twitter.com.

Is there really any value in posting tweets like that? I’d rather be celebrating this surreal existence where the Memories of Murder guy became crown prince of Hollywood

Speaking of, if any of you Parasite fans haven't seen Memories of Murder yet, its an absolute much watch. Much better movie to me than Parasite, and I thought Parasite was fantastic.Its also streaming for free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3tw66BBdDw

Tarantino not winning for Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood means he'll get all the awards for his 10th & final film, which could possibly be a letdown compared to his previous films. Kind of like Scorsese getting his Oscar for The Departed or Peter Jackson for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

My problem with MoM (and some of Bongs other films) have been that they didn’t find the right balance - or perhaps mixture - of seriousness and goofiness... there are points in MoM that border on Keystone Cops despite the overarching subject matter being dark/serious. Felt like I was experiencing whiplash. Parasite seemed to solve that.

Jack and Jill and the Hill directed by Quentin Tarantino starring Adam Sandler reprising his role as Jack and Jill, with Quentin Tarantino guest starring as The Hill it will win all nominated categories including best pic/dir save one for supporting actor: al pacino

I guess you could have qualms with Nicholson's too Nicholsony performance, but its an incredibly good detective/undercover/mob movie.

I don’t really “get” Bong in a broader sense. In fact I find him kind of irritating. But Parasite was fairly clearly the best movie of the year and I was happy to see it win.

Yea Parasite was just laser focused and honed in a way that makes it a whole new level for Bong. Hard to imagine it not being the high water mark for his career when it's all said and done, I mean it would be for almost any filmmaker. It's that good.

Looking forward to some kind of scholarly or journalistic postmortem on Parasite's domestic distribution because film quality notwithstanding, its success is undoubtedly anomalous. The real question is: are we in new zeitgeist where there's a large enough audience to support big marketing pushes for dope foreign movies or is this just a glitch in the system, a footnote logged by the industry for the sake of their own dignity?

At least in terms of money, it's not that huge of an outlier. Every few years there's a Crouching Tiger, Life is Beautiful, Pan's Labyrinth that makes a decent chunk of change in America.

I think it's in part because there's very little middle ground between bland, kid-friendly blockbusters and art house pictures anymore. If an adult doesn't want to watch Frozen or Star Wars, there aren't a lot of mainstream movies for them to turn to, so they're a lot more likely to give something like Parasite or an A24 film a shot than they would have been five or six years ago.

Rewatching The Departed a little while ago it's legit excellent and deserving of its awards, it's just that it barely scratches the Top 10 for Scorsese cause he's set the bar so high.

It wasn't nearly as good as the movie it remade, and the movie it remade had better acting, on top of that. The year Infernal Affairs was released, Million Dollar Baby got Best Picture. Ask yourself if Departed is better than Million Dollar Baby, and then compare the better Infernal Affairs to it. That's the comparison factor that always hangs over Departed.

So I think I won the vote linked in the OP here, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. (It just means I follow awards season way too drat closely.) Really happy to be wrong on my big two predictions, though!

The Departed was basically the Academy giving Scorsese an early lifetime achievement award to make up for ignoring him for the last 30 years prior. But it was not the best movie that year (Babel , Little Miss Sunshine, and Letters from Iwo Jima were superior) Solaris 2.0 fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Feb 10, 2020 |

I don't know, I could totally see him devoting all his time to starting his own film festival or something like that. At heart he still feels like that movie store clerk that just has to show you these awesome films you probably missed out on. Or even spending the following 15 years putting out shorts that somehow all tie together when you watch them in the right order.

I heard all of these great things about it when it came out, but never had any opportunity to see it until it hit digital in January.

Even though I didn't care for it personally, it is still a slightly subversive choice to give Renee that nod for Judy considering its, even more than One Upon A Time, a movie about how Hollywood's capacity and proclivity to chew up and spit people out.

Solaris 2.0 posted:The Departed was basically the Academy giving Scorsese an early lifetime achievement award to make up for ignoring him for the last 30 years prior. At the end of the day, The Departed winning isn't a tragedy. It was a very good movie with 1st rate actors and a 1st rate director with a good story. Its not a travesty of a best picture win like Shakespare in Love or Chicago or Braveheart. coronavirus fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Feb 10, 2020 |
