Re: New Developments III
Reza wrote Who is this madman and why would he even make such a statement in this day and age? Wonder how he would feel his home State getting nuked instead. Oh God. That's Lindsay Graham. South Carolina Republican Senator. You don't really need to pay attention to him. I think it's fair to say he'...

Re: The Official Review Thread of 2024
Indie roundup. I found I Saw the TV Glow silly, irritating, powerful, and sometimes all three at once. I don't think that's a bad thing. It's the latest from Jane Schoenbrun who directed We're All Going to the World's Fair, a film that becomes more important the more I think about it, and they're dr...

Re: Thread for BABY REINDEER
Sabin wrote Well, this is going to be interesting. https://twitter.com/briticoyemo/status/ ... dY0oA&s=01 And it wasn't. I just finished Baby Reindeer. I'll damn it with faint criticism. I wasn't a fan of the final episode, which is half therapeutic and half open-ended-cycle of abuse. There's n...

Re: 2024 Emmy Awards
Okri wrote 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. When it comes to Emmy voting, I have no idea. What I do know is that the people who...

2024 Emmy Awards
Crazy to be talking about the Emmys again so soon after the last category. I have a feeling it's going to be an underwhelming affair full of sweeps. I think the category(ies) to watch are in the realm of Limited Series. This is a very zeitgeisty format. One award that I think has to be pretty locked...

Re: The Official Review Thread of 2024
The Fall Guy reminds me a little of Free Guy. Different actor and director (although it's not hard to see them swapping) but a reasonably fun, fresh piece of summer entertainment. The big difference between them is watching Free Guy I realized the limitations of making a movie from that kind of scen...

Re: New Developments III
Greg wrote Trying to predict Trump's mind, including the VP choice he will make, always appears to be a lost cause. Bloomberg is now reporting Trump’s final four are Doug Burgum, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, and JD Vance. Which means he’s probably picking JD Vance, right? I was wondering why Doug Burgum...

Re: Dune, Part 2
danfrank wrote I, of course, also prefer films with strong stories and themes I can relate to. There are certain films, though, that are just so cinematically captivating that I can overlook the story weakness and just enjoy the cinematic ride. Dune 2 fits that bill, as have other films like Mad Ma...

Re: New Developments III
Greg wrote And now, DeSantis just signed a law criminalizing food he doesn't like. What do you make of DeSantis' meeting with Trump? After the Kristi Noem meltdown, I don't see a strong VP candidate for him. Everyone else comes with significant problems (besides the fact that they're all obviously ...

Re: Dune, Part 2
Mister Tee wrote No doubt, had this film come out last Fall as intended, Godzilla Minus One wouldn't have had a prayer of winning the effects Oscar. It's fully likely Dune will take the prize next Spring, and I'll have no issue with that. Other nominations in the glamour categories (film/director),...
