Dune easily takes this cake bruh... I hardly see anyone winning Cinematography.
have you seen "The Tragedy of Macbeth" . It is on par with Dune's cinematography imo.

I remember telling you that "Don't Look Up" would be a big hit. I'm relieved to have been proven correct.
Yeah i remember but is it best picture material?
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 3:38pm On Feb 08, 2022
I thought "Dune" had this wrapped till i saw "The tragedy of Macbeth" omooo..the cinematography was too clean.

Andrew Garfield is getting this.

TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 3:33pm On Feb 08, 2022
I'm surprised "Don't look up" made this but so many good movies here. I'm rooting for "CODA", "Drive my Car" or "Dune".

"The Fallout" 2021

After about 10 mins into the movie, i could decipher the direction the movie was going to go, and it went exactly how i predicted so i just skimmed my way through it... totally forgettable.

some can save tho or make it more interesting to watch tongue
We talking about female right? Someone like Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and Jodie Comer
I have seen bad movies from Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson that had terrible plots that thier performance couldn't save. The success of a movie hinges about 80% on the plot and screenplay.

Because of the generic plot
Kaycee7:
Plot was generic ash, characters were walking clichés and the execution was just lazy.
ha...Thought as much. More points to "Good actors can't save a weak plot".

The 355 (2022) 5/10

The 355 is basically a B-movie that is saved from being listed in that category by its veteran cast. It's probably the cliché-est spy action movie ever made.
The actions scenes are just decent and the plot is predictable even to anybody that's seen a couple of average spy action flicks.
Literally the only reason to see this movie is if you just want to see the actors on screen. Or if average spy action flicks are your jam.
Jessica Chastain, Sebastian Stan, Lupita Nyong'o and Penelopè Cruz? This looks somewhat like an A class casting to me, so how and why did this movie fail?

Yea. I get your point.

What I'm trying to say is that some mid budget movies are specifically designed for theatres.
I'm not necessarily talking about Indie movies or B-list. Those are the type of movies that mostly depends on film festivals.

Independent films from minor studios are usually the ones who depend on film festivals for its promotion and hopes of bigger industry players to buy them or distribution deals asides from Awards bait films.

Movies released by traditional studios like John Wick, Old, Malignant, A Queit place and the likes are not designed for festivals as they're not even Award movies. Some movies are targeted at Older audience. Older audience means less money.

PS: when I'm talking about mid budget I'm not talking about films produced by IFC, STX, ScreenGems and many unknown studios. I'm talking about WB, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Legendary, UAR, MGM and to a lesser extent A24.
Not those tons of shitty B, C and D-list movies released yearly.

You can read up this article to get clearer view of what I'm saying....

Yup...I have grasped your point even without opening the article �.

Bruh these are mid to low budget movies. Doesn't mean much whether you give them promotion in film festivals (Cannes/ TIFF) and the likes.

The bone of contention is the budget used in production and marketing. DUNE was promoted in film festivals, will you now use this analogy to claim it's a small movie.

Distribution company doesn't matter whether it's coming from juggernauts like WB or Disney. The budgets, the scope of the movie and director attached or genre determines its status — big, low or mid. Case in point WB releases tons of mid budget movies every year.
Screening doesn't mean much for Big budget movies because they know they will make a killing with or without, but it means a whole lot for mid and low budget movies, because this practically help them guage her successful it will be, a mid or low budget movie that does well in these festivals have big VOD companies or distribution companies fighting for thier rights to the movie. Why big budget movies even bother screening at these festivals is because of awards nods, beacause most of the penalist at these festivals are also on the voting board of awards. In essence what i am saying is that movie festivals aren't restricted to mid or low budget movies alone, but they need and utilize it more...but i am beginning to see your point.

Bruh you are mistaken. Mid budget movies have always had their share in the theatrical market. Things only changed in the past 3yrs and got worse after Covid.

Examples of low to mid budget movies doing great in theatres in the last 4/5 yrs:

The Conjuring Universe
Split
Get Out
Joker
It 1&2
Uncut Gems
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Knives Out
Hustlers
Crazy Rich Asians
Little Women
Ford vs Ferrari
John Wick etc...

Them over plenty sef wey I fail to mention. And most of these movies have also been critical hits and Award winners asides of being box office hit.
Bro, Most Mid to low budget movies have always most of the time have one route..Screen at a movie festival - have a pre screening, have limited release ( some skip this) and then go to DVD or VOD. The ones you see that have a wide spread release are those that have favourable "pre screening" so they will know they will likely make a killing if they do a wide spread release so they will strike a deal with a film distribution company say Sony releasing pictures or Warner Bros pictures, these companies will in turn promote and distribute the movies worldwide, so will you still term these movies as "mid or low budget" , putting the distribution company in perspective?

Sadly True..... Mid budget movies are dead for now in theatres. They've been shifted to Streaming as audiences only care for big budgeted spectacle.

Audiences are also beginning to grow a taste for high budget TV eg... GoT, WOT, LOTR, TLoU, Mandalorian, Peacemaker, WandaVision, Halo etc.
Mid Budget to Low budget movies market has never been theatres. Thier niche was direct to home DVD and with the introduction of VOD, they switched to this. Any mid budget or low budget movie doing a theatrical release is planning to fail financially, thier best bet is a limited run then straight to VOD and it has been working wonders for them, just look at A24.

[color=#0000ff]Would you mind checking the state HQ or the closest GPO to you? Maybe your item was routed to the wrong post office.

You may as well send the customer service a mail to know the state it was sent to. That'll assist you on where to look. [/color]
Why does this happen more often than not along with a ton of other problems using NIPOST? The last complain I had was that and I kid you not, "The truck bringing packages to the south is down" ..does it mean they have just one truck bringing goods down south? A whole federal government establishment don't have a back up truck? It is so so absurd.

There was a day I checked comments on AE and most of the "none delivered packages due to logistics" complaint was from Nigeria. Even 3rd world developing countries like Brazil have packages delivered in record time through their national postal services. AE would have ran out of business by now paying refund if Nigeria and NIPOST was thier only service area and delivery service respectively.

The post master general keeping saying they are trying to rebrand the image of NIPOST but it's like nothing it's been done. and i know that not all the NIPOST staff or offices are inefficient but must are, so it's the case of "99 rotten egg and 1 one good one" so the whole bunch is rotten.

People are now taking the pains to pay for shipping so as to avoid NIPOST wahala. I didn't bother looking for goods with paid shipping back then, now are days, I just calculate shipping along with the product I want to purchase before I search for the products.

These bike dispatch riders are becoming more efficient locally and I know it's a long stretch, but if they mistakenly hack international dispatch from sites like AE, it is over for NIPOST if they don't step thier game up by then.

The Shape Of Water
This lost steam towards the end, not Guillermo del Toro best work but it was a fair watch. I liked the opening scene and the opening score but i never understood the Oscar nods tho.

"Mass 2021"

This was basically one scene and practically 6 cast but it's the best thing i have seen this year. Dealt with an heavy subject matter with an impeccable flair.

Emotionally wrenching and stellar dialogue.

cool
None is getting "Best picture" No movie in the MCU past or present can touch "Avengers Infinity war and End game" and those didn't get best picture so i highly that these will. But "Shang Chi and the 10 rings" stand a chance at Best VFX and "Best Film editing"

And did they snuck in "Black Widow" as a joke?? They can submit it for the Golden Raspberry award. It has a better shot at that.

Renewing spent shows with no more value like The Flash" and "Riverdale" each year should run any business to the ground so I'm not surprised.
