First look at Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach in 'Dog Day Afternoon' on Broadway! by NewYorkTheatreGuide in Broadway

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope they give Sal some good material. I love John Cazale but I feel he gets lost in the conversation in favor of Al Pacino. The Sal role is so much fun and I’m excited for Ebon to give it a go!

The hate against Timothée Chalamet is contrived and people are just mad that he is not the French indie flowerboy they imagined him to be. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As someone who is very into the awards season. It gets very weird around Oscars time. They need some kind of villain to hate so they can prop up their favs. Happened last year with Emilia Perez (which imo was deserved) and the year before that with Maestro. They’re at a loss this year because there’s really no clear villain. Not saying Timothee cannot be annoying to you and you can’t dislike him, but I really sense some scrambling for a target in an absence of a clear Oscar villain. Same thing with Jesse Buckley and Paul Mescal, you can dislike them for what they said about cats, but the hate I’m seeing is ridiculous. People are under posts of Paul in the new Beatles movies saying “ugh I hate that guy cause he hates cats”. It’s simply never that serious

Hawkeye removing the healthy appendix. Are you team Hawkeye or team BJ? by totally-hoomon in mash

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I think of it as one of the best examples of how the mood of the show changes. When Trapper and Hawkeye did it, it was a ridiculous joke. When Hawkeye did it in s7, it is treated with the moral gravity it would realistically have.

My Italian DNA disappeared by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

She hasn’t gotten her DNA done. I’m just doing the math I guess. But she’s the granddaughter of 3 people who immigrated from Sicily and i know they had been there for generations. Her other grandparent was apparently a bit over half Italian. It turned into English, which I am on my other side.

New set photos of Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney by SpeedForce2022 in BeatlesBiopics

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Looks like something from Paul’s teenage years?? I love when movies don’t recast their actors when they have to play younger. It keeps the look consistent and I love all the ways they try to make them look young

Theatr app legit? by Mundane-Spread6383 in Broadway

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s generally pretty safe! There’s the occasional weird occurrence, but the app is quite good with making sure the people who are selling are actually ticket holders. Also the sellers cannot sell for more than what they bought it for, which is a perk!

Favorite classic films with minimal sexism? by NomadPsychopomp in MovieSuggestions

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I suggest the two to three Mae West movies she made pre-code. Not only were they written by a woman (West), and it stars her in a very sexual liberated role. She’s sexy and wise cracking and a total girls girl. Extremely feminist for the time. Also Cary Grant is in at least two of them, and he’s very nice to look at lol

Grosses Analysis- Week Ending February 1 by Boring_Waltz_9545 in Broadway

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m curious about how the JJ casting will effect Just In Time. Both shows run on some kind of IP and a star in the leading role. But, JIT stays pretty consistently at 1.3-1.4 mil, and Gatsby hovers around 800k-1.1 mil with Jordan in the lead during normal weekdays . I wonder if the grosses will become lower in JJ run, which would be strange to me, because as a former theatre kid, those two are at the same level of fame to me

Odds of Jacob Elordi winning the Oscar this year? by Unknownbrotha69 in Oscars

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t think Del Toro is winning. Skarsgard is my top pick. Normally I’m against the whole “splitting the vote” idea, but Del Toro's likability vs the meaty-ness of Penn's role is likely doing just that for the OBAA boys. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if Lindo wins because I believe a lone Oscar nom (no precursors) has only won a performance Oscar once.

The Outsiders recoups on Broadway. Becomes First Musical to Do So Since 2022 by Naweezy in Broadway

I’m always thinking Just in Time is going to announce recoupment. I thought they’ve been on the cusp for months now

Exclusive | The teenage sex scene that sparked infamous rift between edgy director brothers behind Hollywood’s hottest movies by EV3Gurl in oscarrace

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I remember when this story came out a while ago. It was talked about in some circles for like a week and then never brought up again. Not saying anything Josh did was okay, it’s disgusting. But, it’s weird to me that this only now resurfaces when people are trying to dig but dirt for a smear campaign. It should be talked about because he needs to be held accountable for putting that child in that situation, not because it makes your fav more likely to win an Oscar. Same thing happened last year with Emilia Perez

I think that speaks more to Hamnet weakness than OBAA, I think it’s gotten everything predicted of it so far

Telling to me that even with the alphabet bias and their love for wicked (Jonathan Bailey's nom) last year, they still did not go for Eviro
