Like....Bro was so locked in!... insanely good actor.

phr0nesis:
Even though I will never watch Emilia Perez, I'm still rooting for Gascon to win the best actress category.
Gotta support men winning 3 acting categories, while leaving just 1 for the women.

Make the patriarchy great again 💪🏾✊🏾

Ballzproblem2:
🔥🔥🔥

Palehair:
Finally. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Viola Davis and Idris Elba are also starring and there have been a casting call for Nigerian actors living in Nigeria

oyaskii:
This is from your beef with the Conclave cinematography hive, some pages back? 👀 I respect and rate the hate to be honest 😩👍🏿.

But all this "Dune: Part Two" gas from you, only for it to lose to the ultimate industry plant "Emilia Pèrez".... Be there....👍🏿😅

abduleez1:
Werey..... If na you e no go pain you abi. 😂🤣😅

oyaskii:
Lead roles una 😩...you must really like her and desperately trying to be on her side, cuz she's like a tier C actress, who apart from this movie and a show, which she went overboard to impress, that ultimately failed, she hasn't been in anything decent or had that much lead roles...Her nepo status rather than her perceived beauty (according to you anyway), is the only thing keeping her faint career alive 👍🏿.

Bruv, there's nothing wrong with the look of her arms. She has well toned muscles. How do you expect a slim and fit lady to look like?

You could see she has curves at her back and some good level of b00bs for her body size.

Illusioneffect:
Yeah, you're right. Movies I think will make the best picture cut are more excellent as last year's.
1. Conclave (one of the best cinematography of this year too)
2. Dune Part Two
3. Babygirl
4. Blitz
5. Sing Sing (in my opinion, it shouldn't be here at all but a black guy movie has to be because it's 'important'
6. Anora (my pick to win considering it's Neon and had been winning awards left right and centre)
7. A different Man
8. Queer
9. Emilia Perez
10. The Brutalist

It's my opinion bro. If you pick DUNE PART TWO I have no issues with your choice. It's also top tier.

I've watched both and you can't tell me what my brain prefers more. I've rewatched parts of DUNE on TV this time, during December and yes I'll go with CONCLAVE.

While DUNE PART 2 is also really top tier and would easily be my pick if not for CONCLAVE, it comes a little unnatural in some instances with it's monochromatic tone. The fact that a significant chunk of DUNE shots is also CGI and practical effects heavy, takes the edge of its scenes as they're mostly not real world reimaginings.

Same way of you claiming to frame any part of DUNE is same way I feel with every shot of CONCLAVE.

So in that my write-up you could only find framing and shots as the reason for me choosing it? 🤦🏽‍♂️
I just find this your response funny especially you trying to teach me what Cinematography actually means — judging by the fact that I'm a cinematographer. 😂😂

Art is subjective and what I find visually stimulating can be very different from yours.

pu7pl3:
Bro what do you mean "filmed a scene by building vehicles and plugging them together"?

abduleez1:
Few shots why this movie tops any movie's cinematography this year.

The framing, composition, colours, saturation, hue, texture and the lighting is just PEAK artistry.

There is a general misconception that Hollywood actors constantly have massive pay days and are living the dream, which is so untrue in a number of ways. Only Tier 1 actors are actually living the dream and this is a very small exclusive list, the fun stops there really.

From B list actors downwards is hellish, some have to actually take second jobs, as acting might not suffice as a full fledged form of livelihood. They don't even get really acting gig to begin with.

All due respect to him, i wouldn't say he is tier 2 actor, let alone tier 1, so i can understand his frustration.


Mandy Moore put up a Gofundme due to the recent L.A fires, and fans were eating her up, saying she is a "millionaire", meanwhile she has had like 3 acting gig since 2019!...An actress from the hit Bernie Mac show from years ago had to open OF, just to make ends meet!

Why i do agree they are underpaid, but i fear tier 2 actors even have the cajones to push for better pay, and with the advent of A.I. and other tech, thier negotiating power just got down...

See the Actors, writers union strike last year or so, wasn't for tier 1 actors, No. Those ones can do one gig, and get the entire earnings for a tier 2 or 3 actor for their entire careers. Hollywood is showbiz, and it follows the same rules of showbiz. You have to be at the very top to enjoy the bigger chunk of the cake, and most importantly remain top...

abduleez1:
Uhm, as far as I know reshoots are pretty much part of the game for Hollywood blockbusters. 🤔

Anyways here are films with little to no reshoots at $300mn+

Avatar 2 & 3
Spectre
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom


Not to mention some movies with around $250mn production budget:

GOTG 3
Batman vs Superman
The Lion King (2019)
Fate of The Furious


$250mn isn't so groundbreaking the way you make it seem. Granted.... it's a whole lot of money. But Nolan literally made TENET at WB for $205mn & $230mn for The Dark Knight Rises (which was actually $250-300mn gross but benefited from tax credits).

So all this talk about Nolan getting a blank cheque is just over sensationalism.

SOZINN:
The impact of successful movies from Universal on Comcast stock is limited due to the diverse nature of the company's business segments. For a significant increase in stock value, the parent company must also achieve success across its other business divisions in addition to these film releases.

abduleez1:
That doesn't look like a blank cheque to me when some 2025 films are around $300mn. 🙃

SOZINN:
😂😂😂 ain't no way.

SOZINN:
Nah, can't have Storm looking like a bald dude. T'chala was willing to go to war with Wakanda over her.

abduleez1:
The teaser really got me intrigued....this solidified it.

Although I'd have loved the trailer not spoiling the plot with too much info....now I know she's a robot.

Anyways, I'm liking the career trajectory of Sophie Thatcher.....seems full with potential and looks like the next Anya Taylor-Joy to me. She was really good in Heretic. Can't wait.

"I like The Substance because acting"

"I like The Substance because cinematography"

"I like The Substance because directing and plot"

"I like The Substance because shock value"

Still waiting for a monicker to admit "I like The Substance because nudity"

abduleez1:
The guy annoys me the most. I don't watch his videos except one time I watched a few minutes of a review I can't even remember for what film. I don't even remember his face, just the name.
I just knew I don't need opinions from him and had an annoying voice.

His followers just reminds me everytime why I shouldn't take YouTube film critics seriously. They always go like "Critical Drinker said this and that" instead of watching it themselves.
