By WoodenLung Go To Postkubrick so far:
Shining very good
Clockwork orange very good
2001: fairly good
Full metal jacket ok
Eyes wide shut kind of bad
Lolita very bad
Shining is my favourite movie of all time. Love Eyes Wide Shut too.
Think Fear and Desire is his second best. 2001 is 1hr40 of something incredible and then it disappears up its own arse.
Not really a fan of Dr Strangelove. Lolita p good. Good performances.
By n8 dogg Go To PostLolita p good. Good performances.
The 1997 one isnt very good either, but is still quite a bit better than kubricks weird version, where he somehow turns the book is a love story comedy.
By rossonero Go To PostYou guys weren't kidding about Fallout. That was a great ride.It's so good. It basically sets the bar for the genre.
Clockwork was my first one and probably still on top just for the fact that i appreciate my civics teacher introducing us to ultra-vioilence at the ripe age of fourteen
Just watched Past Lives. Good flick. Lee is sensational. Maybe too many bits of the two leads just staring at each other that try to compensate for a relative lack of chemistry between them.
Only seen four of the films nommed tonight (might do Poor Things later if time).
KotFM > Oppenheimer > Past Lives > Barbie

Happy MAR10 day, Dipro.
By n8 dogg Go To PostJust watched Past Lives. Good flick. Lee is sensational. Maybe too many bits of the two leads just staring at each other that try to compensate for a relative lack of chemistry between them.I think the silence was there to illustrate the gap in time that has passed and how they struggle to communicate (literally and metaphorically) after so many years apart. The movie is about how nostalgia makes you question your present even when it's void of any substance. I think those moments of silence hit that note home for me and the lack of chemistry is actually the point.

Was hoping to knock out Poor Things before tonight since it's been added to Hulu, but it's not going to happen.
Really enjoyed The Holdovers. Bet they scoop at least one of the acting noms.
Oppenheimer
Nolan
Murphy
Lily
Randolph
RDJ

I can see that. I think for me the ‘past lives’ angle is trying to sell these guys are spiritually connected in some way, and the fact their chemistry isn’t great gets in the way of that. Yours is a valid reading though - I like it more than mine!

Randolph has won literally every single award going. Pretty insane.
Giamatti could upset Murphy, dude is very well liked. Close run thing between Stone and Gladstone but I think the latter takes it.
I think it's selling both. They're spiritually connected because of their closeness as children and they hang onto that into adulthood many decades after despite growing apart into very different people.
Killers of the floor Moon did not need to be 3.5 hours long. Could have shaved off an hour of the first half easily
Kinda disappointed after watching it even the the ending is good.

Hope Oppie at least loses one of the main awards besides supporting actress
And Boy and the Heron needs to win over Spidey.

speaking of true injustica
By reilo Go To PostShakespeare in Love
ive no idea what that is, but just the title annoys me.
By reilo Go To PostShakespeare in Love
The most 4/10 film there’s ever been.

Widows, Fallout, Beale Street, Spiderverse and Eighth Grade were all far more deserving off the top of my head.
By WoodenLung Go To Postive no idea what that is, but just the title annoys me.It won Best Picture 25 years ago
Crash is actually a worse film than Green Book or Shakespeare in Love tbh. Genuinely fucking abysmal.
By Laboured Go To PostBut it ended racism?
We already talked about Green Book m8
By n8 dogg Go To PostCrash is actually a worse film than Green Book or Shakespeare in Love tbh. Genuinely fucking abysmal.Directed by a Scientologist who raped a woman.

yeah, most nominated films are from hollywood directors.
By WoodenLung Go To Postyeah, most nominated films are from hollywood directors.That's unfair. Only one of the directors of the best picture nominees tonight has been accused of rape.

By Laboured Go To PostRandolph is just super great. Like if she didn't win it now she'd just win it another time anyway.Loved her since I first saw her in High Fidelity TV series. Can't believe they cancelled that smh.

She was in that terrible The Idol show and she even somehow managed to make her material in that come out as the best thing in it.
By WoodenLung Go To PostBest original screen play will be anatomy of a fall. Bookmark this post.
But Nolan will probably win just about everything else. Big sleep
Wooden called it.
