Re: Thread for BABY REINDEER
Just finished it. Over the past decade or so, there have been some fantastic comedy routines-slash-performance art pieces that navigate meaty material. I’m thinking things like Hannah Gadbsy’s Nanette or Jon Robins The Darkness at Robins – which, incidentally, tied for best comedy show at the Edinbu...

Thread for BABY REINDEER
Just putting this here as a placeholder because I think it's going to merit a lot of discussion.

Re: 2024 Emmy Awards
I've been meaning to watch Baby Reindeer, but I wonder if the ethically fractious part of it will turn voters off. Especially when they can just vote for Masters of the Air or something less discomfiting.

Re: The 2024 Tony Awards
a) I've heard surprisingly positive reviews for basically all the nominated musicals. I thought the technical achievements of Water for Elephants would take it b) I've basically cried uncle when it comes to jukebox musicals. It doesn't help that a couple of the recent ones have become heavily stream...

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/25/laurent-cantet-film-maker-who-tackled-diversity-and-class-in-france-dies-aged-63 Haven't seen any of his films. Should definitely remedy that. Oh, you absolutely should. The Class is probably my favourite of his, but I find Time Out exquisitely calibrated.

Re: R.I.P. Barbara Rush
Riffing off of Tee's story A Woman of Independent Means ran for only 10 performances. It was written by Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey, who was married to Olivier Hailey. Oliver Hailey was also a Broadway playwright - he'd had three plays on Broadway. His three produced plays combined runs.... 3 performa...

Re: Cannes 2024
I think that might have been for daninwa, but I'll bite. Firstly, I want to emphasize that I am being absolutely genuine when I speak about how happy your enthusiasm for Megalopolis' potential makes me. It's fun to be optimistic, particularly about art. That said... what people will go see have chan...

Re: Cannes 2024
a) dws, thank you for the post. Very interesting. b) I have to admit I viewed the three big European festivals very distinctly before. Berlin was for English language films before their international release. Cannes was for the titans. Venice was like Cannes on easy mode. c) That said, I wonder if F...

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
Genuine question: when you compare the length of time a host like Bob Hope takes vs Jimmy Kimmel, is it genuinely that much different?

Re: The 25th Annual Who'll Be Back?
Fantastic as always. We often talk about the internationalizing of AMPAS as who it can potentially include. We rarely talk about it as who it might exclude because that both seems more fraught and largely unknowable. But I can imagine some performers and filmmakers falling into that cultural gap. It...

Re: Dune, Part 2
I thought it was pretty extraordinary. It tells a more complete story than the first one (yeah, it ends with a To Be Continued type moment, but it felt more natural) and the visuals are wall-to-wall stunners. Villeneuve has complete command of this material and that cinemagicians he employs do stagg...

Wasn't the recent Ari Aster film on that level (expense wise)?

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards
I'm always optimistic to be honest. But I also think I liked 2023's crop slightly less than you.
Only time will tell.
