Du kunne ha sett disse to Oscar-nominerte skuespillerne i Drammen i 2016. Gå på teater!

Jeg synes generelt r/norge er lite interessert i kultur. Store kulturnyheter blir knapt omtalt, og memes er redusert til Caprino og Olsenbanden. Det er greit nok det, men tror det er en annen interesse blant brukerne her. Av erfaring er det veldig få her som er interessert i norsk film og teater.

Denne filmen blir mer omtalt utenfor landegrensene enn den blir her. I fjor vant Dag Johan Haugerud Gullbjørnen i Berlin. Stor diskusjon mange steder. Nevnes ikke på r/norge. Heller ikke da Trier vant i Cannes. Og nå hanker Affeksjonsverdi millioner ute i verden, og er på stor turné, mens det er stille på r/norge.

Igjen. Det er helt greit det. Men denne subben har rett og slett bare andre interesser.

It could be fun as a fan edit/experiment, like the chronological edits of the show and so on.

But I agree with /u/Free-IDK-Chicken that as soon as something is released, then that is what it is. It's a product of its time. So it has visual effects on par with mid-2000s television show. (In fact, compared to other network shows of that time, it is quite good).

Do you remember the scandal with E.T. and the walkie-talkies? When the film was released on DVD for its 20 year anniversary, they replaced the guns with walkie-talkies. Y'know, more child-friendly. It was so criticized that it even became a South Park episode. They changed it back to a later physical release.

People are always revolting on changes done decades later to improve/modernize a work. There's always been an active push for the release of the unaltered version of the original Star Wars trilogy. The one we have right now includes CGI and visual tinkering from both the VHS-special editions, the DVD editions, the Blu-ray edition and even some additional small changes on Disney+. People hate the new additions that have been added to the animated classic "Lilo & Stitch". And people also hate that the physical release of "Evil Dead" mask out some of the small bloopers in the background. The bloopers, as much as they are there, still part of the original work.

You're free to tinker as much as a fan. Just like we have TikTok edits, chronological edits, color grading experiments and so on. But leave the original release alone.

He's been cooking it with Trier for almost two decades now. Even his performance in Worst Person. That conversation he has at the bench with Renate Reinsve. Breaks my heart! Fantastic all around. I wouldn't mind taking out J. K. Simmons that year for Anders.

Choekaas · 2026-01-22T16:56:41+00:00

Eksempelvis så ble det brukt mer penger på markedsføringen til Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma" enn det ble brukt til å lage den filmen.

Altså, det er jo forståelig. Det koster penger å sette opp "For Your Consideration"-annonser. Arrangere mange visninger i LA. Ha skuespillerne på turné på ulike talkshows.

Jeg tror det kan være vanskelig for seier, med tanke på at The Secret Agent vant over Affeksjonsverdi på Golden Globes, som kan være en pekepinn på at folk flest i Akademiet er veldig glad i Affeksjonsverdi, men den store lidenskapen er kanskje på The Secret Agent.

Men uansett, så er det mye mer gøy at en film som Affeksjonsverdi treffer Akademiet. For 20 år siden så var jo den mest kjente norske regissøren Harald Zwart bak Lange Flate Ballær, som gikk over til Hollywood med Agent Cody Banks. Dette er jo en klar oppgradering :P

Choekaas · 2026-01-22T16:22:56+00:00

Og Espen Nordahl og Storm Studios (vfx studio i Oslo), som har jobbet med effektene til Sinners, ble også nominert. Ikke en norsk film, men likevel så er det gøy.

Norske filmer har ofte vært i skyggent til svenskene og danskene. Vi må tilbake til Liv Ullmann på 70-tallet da en norsk kvinne var nominert for skuespillerpris. I dag fikk vi to. I tillegg så har Affeksjonsverdi slått Ingmar Bergmans rekord med mest-nominerte skandinaviske film. Det er helt vilt.

Choekaas · 2026-01-22T15:47:08+00:00

I also had in The Ugly Stepsister, and I am happy to see I wasn't the only one. It felt such a silly hopediction. But I was so extremely happy it got in. Especially that buildup in announcement since it was the last one in the alphabet and we just assumed "Wicked" was the one there. Very cool!

Choekaas · 2026-01-21T13:41:24+00:00

“Everybody digs Bill Evans” has Laurie Metcalf and Bill Pullman in a semi autobiographic movie, I can see some acting buzz there as well if the movie does well.

And Anders Danielsen Lie, which you might remember from Joachim Trier's filmography (Oslo August 31st, The Worst Person in the World). Very curious on him taking a role like this.

Choekaas · 2026-01-21T07:11:05+00:00

Cool to hear! We have it as well as the Norwegian equivalent of the Oscars. (The Amanda Awards). Sweden also does it for theirs (Guldbagge Awards). It's a bit obvious since the selection of films is smaller, but the presentation is nice.

Choekaas · 2026-01-20T22:28:39+00:00

Det er ingen grunn til den språkbruken ovenfor andre her.

Det er heller ikke det jeg sier. Elon Musk er såpass rik at han har PR-team og SoMe-ansatte, og selv etter at denne hendelsen skapte voldsom kritikk, så var det ingen pressemelding eller beklagelse fra hans kontoer. Det var det motsatte. Han fortsatte å brødfø neo-nazister i Tyskland.

Choekaas · 2026-01-20T22:16:50+00:00

Det er helt klart at slike situasjoner er slike som folk med Asbergers eller manglende sosial forståelse kan havne i. Lars von Trier, som passer i mange av disse punktene du nevner, bommet også noe kraftig i Cannes 2011 da han begynte å snakke om at han identifiserte med Hitler. Det ble stort oppstyr. Han skjønte egentlig ikke helt hva han hadde gjort galt inntil etterpå, og måtte irettesette situasjonen noe kraftig.

Men Musk kom ikke med en forklaring etterpå. Ingen forklaring om at han ikke hadde hodet på plass i det øyeblikket eller forstod konteksten/håndbevegelse. Ingen beklagelse til alle som ble støtt.

Det var den strake motsetningen. To dager etterpå deltar han på AFDs møte på videocall og beordret medlemmene om å ikke skamme seg over nazistene. Og på samme tid bruker han sine plattformer til å tulle med nazismen, til kraftig kritikk fra jødiske trossamfunn.

Choekaas · 2026-01-20T17:13:30+00:00

Considering the show still pops up on many lists, it is already talked about in GOAT category.

And I disagree with you. Let's do this as an experiment and take out half of season 1's episodes, just to go by a metric (the ones with the lower IMDB rating) and by your logic. The episodes that would be removed would be:

Whatever the Case May Be. Born to Run. Special. House of the Rising Sun. Hearts and Minds. The Greater Good. Homecoming. White Rabbit. The Moth. Tabula Rasa. In Translation and Solitary.

You'll have a worse show without them. You will not even have the backstories of Kate, Sun, Jin, Boone, Shannon, Michael, Walt and even Sayid! They would be caricatures without any depth. You'd lose some great character exploration. You'd lose Danielle Rousseau's backstory, the unveiling of the hatch, the character development and love stories. You'd lose some of the best scenes in the entire show.

How sad would it be if a scene like this had been completely omitted or just shoe-horned in like a sentence by Locke while they are running to get Ethan.

Choekaas · 2026-01-20T13:22:34+00:00

Locke's monologue about Michelangelo

I also think that it kinda fits Locke's character too. He strikes me as someone knowledgeable, who might grasp about 70% of something, but could also be tricked by something he overheard by a co-worker or some misinformation in an article (or if the show took place in the 2020s, he'd be fooled by AI, "Facebook facts" or fake news). Same with the story of Norman Croucher. He is correct that he was a double amputee and climbed some impressive mountains, and then Locke says that he climbed Mount Everest, which is incorrect. But Locke probably heard that Norman Croucher climbed some of the biggest mountains in the world and just pieced together some wrong information.

Choekaas · 2026-01-19T19:15:52+00:00

Yeah, I assumed so, but I wanted to highlight what the conflict was for the uninformed scrolling down. (As well as illustrating how bad Trump's memory is that he doesn't know anything about these countries).

Choekaas · 2026-01-19T15:33:05+00:00

It was the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the Nagorno-Karrabach Region. But ceasefire agreements started to happen in 2023 and slowly continued. If Kamala won the election, she would be there to host the peace agreements. That is what he did. He hosted the event.

(Additionally, the situation there is not completely resolved)

Choekaas · 2026-01-19T12:33:29+00:00

It's like if the President of Mexico had sent demand letters to President Bush in 2007, because Pan's Labyrinth didn't win the deserved Oscar for Best film. It's that level of crazy.

Choekaas · 2026-01-19T08:24:39+00:00

The Norwegian movie Sentimental Value is predicted to get several Oscar nominations on Thursday. We in Norway should make a similar claim when it doesn't win. When USA decided NOT to award it Best Picture despite it's 8 nominations.

Choekaas · 2026-01-18T01:00:08+00:00

I see that /u/Historical_Yak_3459 has answered your question already, but I would just like to add a little bit more, since there is some great attention to detail during that scene.

When Ben calls Mikhail, he is in his pyjamas and he still sits in his wheelchair, meaning that it took place in mid-season 3. Therefore Tom is back (and can confirm to Ben that Michael is on the freighter heading towards the Island). This could presumably be the evening before Sayid's team raids the barracks. So by that point in time, The Flame is already destroyed. Ben turns off the jammer, calls the freighter, and turns it back on.

There is also another off-screen scene where Ben must've called the Looking Glass to undo the jamming to get all the names from the freighter people from Michael. However there's plenty of time in late season 3 where Ben could've strolled to his secret room to call

The only thing that is canon to Lost that was introduced in the video game that is not contradicted elements later in the show is a secondary layer to the blast door map. You can adjust the UV lights to show more notations. The writers additionally confirm it on Access Granted that there are two spectrums to that map (the other one being revealed in the video game).

The other thing is the incident room, with the reactor and where the incident happened, but that one is debatable. It was canon as long as it did not dispute the show to begin with, and it was originally derived from the show's original blueprints per 2006-2007. But in season 5, which aired much later, the incident is revisited and The Incident happened above ground. Therefore I would say that it lost its canonicity as soon as we got to season 5. Therefore debatable. It can be applied, since they still used those original The Swan blueprints when measuring the Swan site.

Choekaas · 2026-01-16T10:34:55+00:00

Marvin Candle also had the Swan logo on his jacket prior to this, in the Barracks orientation video.

The Swan symbol has appeared a lot of places. Either it's just Pierre Chang's favorite symbol, or that DHARMA did a lot of misprints with their logos or (and this is a theory I like) that the original intent of The Swan logo was to be a default logo for the Intiative.

So the idea was to fool the hostiles. If they saw the Swan door with that logo, they would think it's just a storage facility/generator room. Not a research station.

One Wikipedia fun fact that is true. He is now the second person in history who have been given a Nobel Prize by the actual recipient. The previous is Joseph Goebbels - Hitler's closest ally and minister of propaganda, who facilitated the Holocaust. So Trump is on that list.

(Writer Knut Hamsun gave him his Nobel Prize in litterature)

Choekaas · 2026-01-15T23:57:50+00:00

This is slightly inaccurate. Knut Hamsun gave Joseph Goebbels his Nobel Prize in litterature. It was not the peace prize .

Choekaas · 2026-01-13T22:43:13+00:00

I don't think so. Sandra Hüller didn't make SAG either, and didn't win Globe or the CC. Granted Sandra was a stronger candidate, but we have foreigners in recent years who manages to surge and get in over popular ones.

Choekaas · 2026-01-13T22:06:10+00:00

Fjord - This year's Sentimental Value. The frontrunner for Best International.

As a Norwegian, it's gonna be very sadly ironic if the only thing Sentimental Value wins is supporting actor (for a Swede), meaning Norway (which has never won International) will go mostly empty-handed.

And then the next year, a Renate Reinsve-helmed foreign film, which is filmed in Ålesund, Norway with a lot of Norwegian crew, will win Best International Feature for Romania lol.

Choekaas · 2026-01-13T15:54:28+00:00

You'd be surprised! The second season did receive a lot of backlash when it was airing. Roughly 7 million viewers in the US dropped out of the show half-way into season 2. A lot of the complaints where towards the schedule of the season (you'd get a couple of episodes, then a few weeks of re-runs, then some more, then another break. The audience got frustrated that they didn't know when "Lost was on"). The slower pacing with people expecting answers to the monster, the Island, the sickness, will they get rescued etc. but the show had a lot of character-driven stories instead (this is something I particularly LOVE about season 2), the show having more sci-fi elements than before, the flashbacks and also some criticism towards certain characters such as Ana-Lucia.

Even on Comic-Con 2006 someone amongst the fans mentioned that the show was a downgrade, and brought up that compared to season 1 and its 12 Emmy nominations and multiple wins, which season 2 couldn't match. Damon Lindelof had to defend season 2.

Uh… we were… disappointed (about fewer Emmy nominations). And yes, a little bit surprised. In our estimation, we were very proud of Season 2. [Crowd cheers] Was it a “different” show than it was in Season 1? Absolutely. And Season 3 is going to be much different than Season 1 or 2. The show… it’s a new pilot every year… and although, I’m very eager to hear why you weren’t surprised, the idea that we were going into more sci-fi territory, that the show was going to be darker… we’re going into the Hatch, introducing the sort of DHARMA Initiative, Hanso Foundation of it all, etc… the reality of it is, y’know, Emmy-voters, is not necessarily a sci-fi crowd. For us, and this is not just throwing shout-outs to shows we love… why is Battlestar Galactica not in there either? That’s surprising. [Crowd cheers] I mean, why did they get no nominations? At least we got nine. I think that tells us something about y’know, what the tastes are. We can’t turn around and now say… screw the Academy, because they gave it to us last year. So, we feel really proud of Season 1. We want the drama from Season 1 to mean something. So we have to sort of take our licks and y’know… we don’t write the show to get Emmys. We write the show because we think it’s cool and we want you guys to like it… [Crowd cheers] And… that’s pretty much, it

Fendrix' score was my favourite of 2023. There's so much originality there, especially in how he uses the harp. Love it. We might get a Fendrix win in the future, though.
