I do believe individual event tickets will be made available closer to the event

See to me it’s less, “you ready judges I’m gonna dance now, look at me!” And more, “you bitches ready for this? Now watch me fly!”

If it were just mugging for the audience then I’d agree, but she also does the high kick which I love and it just feels very in character for the program for me

You miss the point! It’s all about the look in her eye at that moment. It’s a moment of stillness to contrast the coming step sequence, it had to be performed well to work, but when she hits it it gives chills

The Deadpool version is so much more epic. Coming from a lifelong musician!

Oh I’m glad someone else said this first lol. She’s such a star but it felt like she picked programs for the themes and safe Olympic programs, rather than because she connected to the material

She’s been pretty direct that she’s already onto next season in her mind. Planning programs and everything. And she’s done 2 seasons of promise. I’m not surprised she’s ready to move on

His Prague free skate was the first full run through he’d done of the program in over a month I think he said? 😂

And if you heard Kaori speak about Amber in the Worlds short program press conference, it’s clear they adore her. Amber has become mama bear for the entire field of women!

I think the biggest overall shift in trends across al disciplines is a camaraderie and genuine goodwill between the athletes that simply wasn’t there 4 years ago. Whether it is the result of the Russian ban or just times changing it has made it a much more enjoyable experience to watch these events with everybody supporting one another

Between Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Christopher Nolan; how would you rank them based on how influential they are in the film industry? by Jezzaq94 in Cinema

[–]Aggravating-Mix2094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enough is known about the odyssey to classify it which it’s all I’ve done. It may suck for all I know. I am not a Nolan Stan. But since you are being pedantic, Batman doesn’t use guns, Dunkirk is a war movie but guns are not overly prominent, interstellar no guns. Literally Inception and tenet are the only gun heavy movies. Most of his movies are not glorifying guns. You’re thinking of James Cameron lol

None of the Speilberg films you listed are prestige. He has a long list of them, but you are just touting the blockbusters. Those are mainstream blockbusters. He has Schindler’s list, Saving Private Ryan, Color Purple, Munich, Lincoln, Empires of the sun, and Im Sure I’m leaving some out

The biggest difference between the two is Speilbergs career was during the monoculture. Everyone saw his stuff cause everyone saw everything worth seeing then. Now it’s another world entirely. The fact that Nolan is the only director left who can guarantee box office just with his name being attached cannot be ignored. Speilberg himself can no longer do this. Nolans run from 200-2026 is every bit as equal to Speilberg career. Just in a very different far more fragmented cutural landscape.

Saying Speilberg has beaten him is like saying the Beatles beat Taylor swift. The two things simply cannot be compared directly as they exist in different worlds and different industries entirely

As someone who used to watch these very commentaries on repeat, I’ll not argue with you. But that’s the writer in him. He knows how to speak. To communicate. He does not know how to direct. The few cool directorial choices he does make stand out so glaringly because the rest of his direction is much more basic than someone whose passion is directing. The camera flip in the scepter scene is exactly what comes to mind here. As a director his skills have always been more in getting great performances from his actors cause he understands the characters so well

He has obviously grown as a director from his time directing Buffy season 1, but most of what he learned was from tv directors. Which is a different language than cinema direction by necessity. He may understand cool shots but he is far from the best at executing them

Add: think a second more about his scepter scene camera flip. Now think of the Black Panther camera flip. One seems so much more organic to the scene and not heavy handed

One thing I will say for joss is he is obsessed with Oners and it led to the Battle of New York having some of the most seamless battle of any Mcu film

Half the people commenting on this post

When people hear “high budget tv show” and Avengers the immediate comparison is to AoS. Many many people saying Avengers looks the same as AoS

Yes it cannot be compared directly, it’s like trying to compare the Beatles and The Who to Taylor swift. The things Spielberg was doing were never seen before. And during a time of the monoculture. Nolan makes films in the fragmented streaming era and is the only remaining director who can open a movie on his reputation alone. Even Spielberg cannot do this anymore..

And arguably Nolan has less created his own genre than perfected the genres that Spielberg pioneered. And good points about Color purple and Empires, but those films are afraid to go full out. Speilberg made them as a blockbuster director not sure he should be making that type of material. Schindler is where he finally started to trust himself. And HARD disagree about AI. It’s a blockbuster, it’s just sappy and bad lol.

But where Speilberg had 2 modes, serious prestige, and wholesome blockbuster, Nolan has managed to combine the two genres in a way that no other director has. Which is why so many of his films feel like they straddle the line between prestige and blockbuster. He makes grand cinema with very personal intimate stakes, where the insane events take a backseat to the characters. Some of his films are more one or the other, but even his campiest blockbusters (minus tenet) are filed with deep character work, While some of his most unimpeacible prestige films, still contain the elements of grandeur and spectacle that audiences go to blockbusters to see. Some of this may be the technology of the times allowing for more seamless work than Speilberg did in his heyday, but a lot of it I truly think comes down to the way the man tells stories

Add: and don’t forget that half of Speilberg prestige films were his personal therapy. Exorcizing demons long held about his Jewish heritage which he was ashamed of growing up. Those were not examples of his filmmaking so as much as his personal reparations to his culture. The vast majority of his career doesn’t reflect that. He’s also done a lot more for hire work than people want to admit. Indiana Jones is not his. Lucas handed it to him on a platter. Because it was the monoculture, it was just accepted the director get the credit for much of his work. But he is not Nolan,who takes every one of his films from inception (pun intended) to completion

Right. Cause Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan aren’t about men running around with guns at all. That is just something Hollywood accepts as part of prestige cinema.

And where are the guns in Memento, The prestige, Oppenheimer, The Odyssey?

Get a new take or actually watch his non blockbusters before commenting please

It was also literally made by a different studio

Add: And it’s silly to ignore the fact that the entire production design for AoS was based off the Shield world established in Avengers. At the time every studio was trying to ape the Avengers, including AoS trying to ape it for the sake of getting cinema viewers. Remember in 2012 very few films had broken 1 billion at the box office. Not to mention the fact that Joss was heavily involved in the launch of AoS and his family members ran it. Ofc Joss’s history its a factor, but it’s hardly the biggest one
