lol "Past Lives" "Best Picture" shout might be a long stretch, cuz I'm not sure those Oscar goons will allow indie gems from one studio win back to back Best Picture. But it is definitely up for Best actress, best director and best original screenplay, these are tenable for it. If A24 are feeling lucky, they can "sell" it as a foreign language film and they will have a shot at that.

I don't want to jump the gun here, but I'm like 60% confident that Best Picture is between Barbie and Oppenheimer, not necessarily for the film itself, but the build up and them releasing the same day might be the biggest rizz, Hollywood has seen in years. Barbenheimer was such a pop culture phenomenal, their are chatters in some quarters that it surpassed, "the BB finale" and "The Red Lady resurrecting Jon Snow" moment in recent pop culture history...it was that big! Just look at the wiki page! Yeah, no movie is touching those 2 for best picture. KOTFM would have tried, the marketing of that get as e be.

But "Past lives" is/was one of my fave films from this year, i am hoping i can do a top 10 list this year, it would be right up there.. special special film 💚🌟

I feel past lives might get nominated for best picture. I still see posts about it on twitter, Facebook and TikTok tipping it for an academy award.

The major backlash it’s getting now is that it’s almost a copy of an Indian film “96” made as far back as 2018. Past lives writer tweaked the “96” story a little bit to have their own version.

It will most likely get nominated, but winning it, is another matter all together as there are some many factors in play riding against it, and i for one, don't think the film's message or theme is "socially conscious" enough to get best picture.

The little matter of it not been an original screenplay with the "'96" issue is also there.

This people no go allow Matt Damon rest with this franchise.
I don't know what story they want to tell again about Jason Bourne but more Bourne films is appreciated nonetheless.

MCU might have done indelible damage to the superheroes lore with the nonestop nonsense they have been for the past 2 years.

But takes like this irks me, like let's us all pretend like "CBM" didn't hold the industry down from like 2008 to 2019 at the very least, like people were not packing cinema halls full to see these movies, like multiple CBM released didn't earn 1 bn greens or more, like "infinity war and Endgame" weren't world event on their premiere dates!. It this wasn't "Real Cinema" then what actually is??

I like Martin Scorsese but and i have tried to find a reason to defend these statements and his obsession with CBM not being "real movies" but I can't really find a tangible reason, so i think him and the industry might be jealous of the overwhelming success of the CBM in recent times.

Variety is the spice of life, and these "arsty" flicks and CBM flicks can actually exist side by side.
I want to know why someone killed native Americans in Osage county but i also want to see Batman beat the sh&t out of gotham and Arkham insane inmates too 😒

he's similar to the people who believe animation is for kids.
They have this old mindset but it's their preference anyway.

I think say na only me see this nonsense today.

The plausible explanation I'll chalk this to is plain jealousy.

That's why weirdly somehow they all flock to Chris Nolan and praise him cos he's the ONLY remaining auteur artist with similar pedigree as them that could fill up theatres just with his name alone. They also tend to forget he has CBM history too when they start their CBM bashing.

Imagine a probably once in a lifetime performance from Di Caprio and a massive project from Scorcese with over $200mn struggling to even make back it's budget at the box office.
Of course, they'll be envious and pained.

Even the said worst of the worst of CBMs in its weakest time in history still make their budgets and some more.

Lily Rose Depp..... Never thought I'd see this name on a major movie for a while. grin grin

But Robert Eggers name on the director chair? He's one new rising and promising filmmaker I like seeing.

I was thinking it's the sequel to Last Voyage of the Demeter, only for me to check on Google and end up disappointed.

Honestly, that movie needs a sequel. However, this looks promising. Atleast from the way I see it, they want to focus on the story/plot and less peeshun peeshun.

Lol, this is a reboot or reimagination of the 1920s NOSFERATU movie. Prolly the first Dracula adaptation.

On the story, Robert Eggers has never really been one for all out action. He's more on characters and plot. Even on The Northman, man found a way to make it even boring for most people with the unorthodox style of storytelling. And many people were expecting hardcore action like all recent Vikings adaptation. 😂😂😂

I recently purchased the T1 Uniform Jacket, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. The ordering process was smooth, and the jacket arrived promptly. The packaging was secure, ensuring that the product reached me in pristine condition. T1 Uniform Jacket

Yeah. He first auditioned for Robert Pattinson's The Batman, he lost. He auditioned for this Superman. Same result.

I reckon this will be a good motivation for an origin villain story. grin grin

This place still haven't gotten any better, chit chats everywhere instead of rating and dropping movie reviews for people like us to pick from and download.
Toor


I dislike post like this. Oga, nobody owes you nothing. Nothing. Nada. Zilch!! You won't drop movie reviews. You won't drop ratings. You sit in your room and expect others to do the job for you while you "pick from and download" because you've seen slaves/professional movie critics? Or because you're a movie god we'd cater for?

Do you have boils on your hands or are you visually impaired that stops you from dropping your reviews or rating movies or seeing movies and talking about it?

You won't add to the thread, but use your scrawny fingers to chat shît about few others that strive to keep this thread moving. GTFOH!!

Just like Cillian Murphy who missed the role of Batman, but ended being The Scarecrow in Nolan's Batman trilogy. Even though his roles weren't necessary, they still fixed him there

This people na premium clowns. That's how they were making a positive spin for Mission Impossible 7 with a $300mn budget for a $570mn global gross.

Exactly the same clowns that was putting a negative spin on THE HUNGER GAMES few days ago for a $45-50mn 3-day opening weekend, for a $100mn movie.

How is this good for a $200mn film with $50mn for a 5-day OW??
Seems the rules are different for everyone. 🙃🙃

Yes, the TV show.

Uhm, TV series and TV shows are one and the same. Prolly a mistake.

I dunno if the show is your thing tho. I was only suggesting it if you're curious of her acting chops and her most recent work was that controversial project. And well uh, the copious nud!ty from Lily Rose Depp. You go see bress taya. 👀👀

I really don't know. Probably early 20s. I believe she's old enough for HBO to showcase that much amount of nudity throughout.

It actually got to a point where the nudity became boring cos person don see the same bress numerous times it had lost the initial effect. grin grin
