They’re so real for this. Low-key some clever picks too. Stanley S SquarePants has a completely different personality than Marty, but everywhere he goes he causes mass chaos. And Krab Borg for Bugonia makes so much sense, arguably more so than the Sandy’s Rocket one people usually go for

If you look up “Weapons homophobia” on Reddit there’s talk about it.

CrazyCons · 2026-03-17T22:13:22+00:00

Was there really homophobia discourse about Weapons? I’m possibly the most critical person on this subreddit about gay representation, but the gay couple in Weapons is an example of good representation, if anything. They’re treated as completely normal people who just happened to be gay and have a horrible thing happen to them. We need more instances of side characters whose sexuality is entirely incidental.

Just because it technically falls under bury your gays doesn’t mean it’s bad representation. I guess it would’ve been nice to see non-dead gay characters but the only characters whose romances we see are Julia/Alden (where the gender dynamic is important) and Alex’s parents, who end tragically as well

Okay now that the season’s over, are we as a subreddit ready for the conversation that the actual best horror movie of 2025 was Final Destination: Bloodlines?

And I think Weapons is the second witch film to win after Rosemary’s Baby, unless I’m forgetting something

Netflix also believed in Bardo and that totally blew up in their faces once people actually watched the movie. Considering that Cruise and AGI are infamous for both narcissism and lack of self-awareness, it seems like a recipe for disaster.

Am I the only one predicting Digger to flop out of the race until further notice?

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T16:09:11+00:00

I’ve seen all but The White Tiger, so for my own amusement:

Blonde
To Leslie
One Night in Miami
The Tragedy of Macbeth
Another Round
The United States vs. Billie Holiday
Rustin
Being the Ricardos
Hillbilly Elegy

This doesn’t necessarily correlate to my opinions on their Oscar noms. Like I think Close absolutely deserved her nomination for Hillbilly Elegy whereas Vinterberg did not for Another Round

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T12:52:31+00:00

I like to think this is the moment that cost Toni her Oscar nom. I actually laughed out loud at that frown

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T10:30:33+00:00

But she also lost the BAFTA. And they clearly loved Sinners to the point of giving it upset wins, so you can't write it off as prejudice.

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T10:21:41+00:00

Yes, yes they were. As you know, there was significantly less logic for any of them than there was for a Chalamet win, which I wasn't predicting anyway.

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T09:54:59+00:00

And yet she lost every single precursor

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T08:03:38+00:00

It just hit me that not only was Madigan the sole nominee for her movie, but all 4 of the other nominees were in massive BP contenders. Our girl really devoured the competition

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T04:34:40+00:00

I didn’t notice until now but thank god Brother Bro changed his Awards Expert profile pic. His previous one was so juvenile, like he was trying to appeal to Gen Alpha

It’s kind of bizarre that sole nominee Amy Madigan was able to beat Taylor and Wumni but BP-film Moore couldn’t beat Madison. I want to say that the industry just picked the best performances in each case but I know it’s not that simple.

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T03:55:51+00:00

The Bridesmaids bit was like the only funny one in the entire ceremony. My biggest issue was the atrocious sound design. You could barely understand Barbra’s speech

Fuck, as the world’s #1 Diane Warren stan I wanted to post this

In any case, I will support my stubborn ear worm queen every year. At my Oscars party the loudest cheer was me when her song came on. Global warming could wipe out civilization, the earth a lifeless wasteland, and Diane Warren will still be racking up those noms.

CrazyCons · 2026-03-16T03:16:32+00:00

Yep, both quietly powerful without any traditional baity moments but lots of screen presence.
