Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have

I don't like EEAAO but all the stars are aligned for it to happen

[epilogue]

Just as long as it isn't a war movie remake.

I only care about The Oscars because it means another On Cinema Oscar Special. I might have to do another marathon leading up to it.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The correct choice is Tar. That’s a masterpiece. They will give it to EEOAO because it’s a fun light feel good movie.


But the real movie is Tar.

Best International Feature Film - Argentina 1985

[Farmer John]

Were there a lot of visual effects in Top Gun: Maverick? It seems odd that it got a nomination for that. I thought it's whole deal was that everything was practical.

[VinylGuy]

lots lots of special effects. The fact that you dont notice them is a testament on how good they are.

[The Argonaut]

I'll give my international feature vote to The Quiet Girl (Ireland)

[Jorge]

As much as I like Argentina 1985, it's wild that they didn't nominate Decision to Leave. It would've gotten my vote for International and also Editing

Good point about Top Gun's visual effects but I'd give that to Avatar 2

[VinylGuy]

I'll give my international feature vote to The Quiet Girl (Ireland)

i should watch this one, seems its way better than Argentina, 1985.

yeah, Avatar 2 is groundbreaking to say the least. I picked TP2 because i loved how they integrated them.

[spike]

i've seen all the best pic noms except avatar 2

[The Argonaut]

I'll give my international feature vote to The Quiet Girl (Ireland)

To be fair, I've yet to see Argentina 1985 or Close.

I feel Arg 1985 is fine, but its main strength its the theme, which the oscars just love it
