First off, I've seen so much Disney astroturfing on forums lately. Like I guarantee if you scrub through SA you'll find some accounts posting a suspicious amount of "I sure do enjoy my Disney+ account(tm) fellow young people(r)!". This whole discussion is bought and paid for because Disney is terrified of losing relevancy. Beginning and end of story. But pretending for half a second that's not the case.

Anyway, is Capote PSH's only leading role? I guess he's almost the deuteragonist in The Master?

Saw Dead or Alive with a group as a student. The ending was the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie.
We also watched Ichi the Killer. It sure was something.

I've long meant to get back to Miike movies as he's well regarded but there was some barf-worthy stuff in those two flicks

Did a better picture of what happened with that The Thing prequel scrapping all of its physical FX for digital ever come out? Was it literally "durrrrr I'm a C-Suite guy and audiences won't accept non-digital effects; everyone's doing it!" or was it actually a cost thing or something like that

Sort of. I think the reasoning was that while the practical models looked good, they only worked from one specific angle and the whole set had to be custom built to accommodate them. So if they wanted more scenes then they had to make unique models and sets for each shot, all of which takes a lot of time and planning and gets expensive fast.

By comparison the CGI didn't look as good, but allowed for much more flexibility while filming and overall was just faster to do, and in the end time = money.

To be fair how many practical effect movie workshops exist today compared to in the 80's?

Meanwhile it seems like there are so many CGI sweatshops in the world that they are fighting over contracts to the point where they are willing to go bankrupt just to be the lowest bidder on projects.

The Barbie drama is frustrating because it seems to have devolved entirely into "because this movie is good, it should have a nomination in every category it could possibly be nominated in". But movies and performances can be good for different reasons. Supporting acting is different from lead acting. It doesn't mean Margot was less good than Gosling or whatever, it could just mean it's not really a "lead actor" sort of movie/role.

But people won't let that stop them of course, it's all about the thing you like winning the most awards.

EDIT: Also I saw Suitable Flesh last night and man was that dogshit. The gently caress was Jay talking about? Some not quite well enough acted or written for Skinamax-rear end bullshit.

I don't know how much of the pornobrained content that is ostensibly for zoomers is actually created by people in that demo. My brother and his wife watch Euphoria (using my Max subscription), and he told he that he could tell the show was written by guys in their 40s when one of the Halloween episodes had this high school student who was dressed up as Patricia Arquette's character from True Romance.

Obviously we can all be pleased that marvel and star wars are in the graveyard, but now is the time to think about the age to come. If you can get in on the ground floor of the next 10 to 15 year fad you're set basically
