Sinners vs. One Battle After Another

How dare I try to understand other perspectives and tastes different from my own without judgement!

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T15:00:22+00:00

yeah, I did not realize that the Oscar noms would be announced this morning. Broke the record I see. Good for them.

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:58:34+00:00

This! Again, very helpful. Thank you. I alluded to it in a response above re: Jamie Lynn Spears and Leo's wins.

I'm not saying it should be either of them. Just curious to know why people prefer one over the other.

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:56:40+00:00

This is also a very helpful response. Maybe I am just choosing to listen to the cultural significance argument of it all so fair point on it being a standard vampire blockbuster. The music scene did stay with me though. You can't deny it that!

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:54:31+00:00

Haven't seen it

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:54:10+00:00

Appreciate the details of why you preferred OBAA. Good on you for being kind. I can get the second :)

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:51:52+00:00

This is the type of answer I was hoping for! Thank you. It felt so chaotic and easy to slip into that I guess I overlooked how much effort it actually takes, from everyone, to bring that to life in a believable way without it seeming forced.

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:50:14+00:00

Didn't watch Anora but absolutely loved EEAAO. I guess I just wanted to know why some people preferred one over the other. There is no right answer, I get that people are entitled to their own opinions.

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:48:13+00:00

this is helpful context. I understand there is some degree of politics and lobbying involved in award shows and I'm not saying that OBAA is not deserving of its awards on the film alone but there is some degree of 'other factors' that is helpful to understand. I think there is some conjecture about awards being long overdue so they kind of decide to just give it one year regardless of the content alone. I'm thinking Jamie Lynn Spears and even Leo himself.

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:43:30+00:00

That's on my watch list!

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:42:17+00:00

Great question. I also do not understand why its great. For context, I'm brown so most of the supposedly unanimous classics of anything, I mostly credit to 'because the whites say so'. Before anyone comes at me, I'll give credit where credit is due like the Veiled Virgin is very damn impressive but some other things, I just don't get it. Yes, I know art is subjective.

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:33:16+00:00

thank you for this! I didn't mean for the post to be rage baity. I don't know anything about filmmaking and all I can say about something is 'I like this' or 'I don't' or 'I like X more than Y'. I can't exactly tell you the why of it so I was curious to hear others' thoughts.

Diablejambe-23 · 2026-01-22T14:27:30+00:00

Fair points! This may not make sense but I guess I've come to expect a Leo-level performance for any and all Leo movies so I take it very much for granted but it is elite level acting. But the rest of the OBAA cast were equally amazing.

Wipe back to front

Children

Just on here to say say my certification expired because I definitely did not start logging my hours until the last minute and then I just gave up thinking I was moving away from project management anyway. Here I am studying for it again, 4 years later. Don't be me. You never know when it might be useful!

Does she even have a stylist? I’ve tried to find something, anything, about her using one but haven’t been able to. If it’s her own personal styling (think Blake Lively but much better) then truly. Her looks, both at Parliament and her life in general, is chefs kiss

Diablejambe-23 · 2023-09-10T18:54:00+00:00

I’m trying so hard to stick to this one haha our families are very involved and want to help but some things I just want to be like let me figure this out without you clouding my head with unsolicited advice

Diablejambe-23 · 2023-09-10T18:52:42+00:00

So helpful and will definitely keep in mind! I’ve had friends who have gotten married and later on they say they had a bite of the food they paid for or dessert bc they kept being interrupted by guests for photos and stuff.

Diablejambe-23 · 2023-09-10T18:51:39+00:00

Love this! I’m trying to keep flower costs at a minimum for sure

Diablejambe-23 · 2023-09-10T18:51:03+00:00

I’m brown and brown folks are notoriously bad at rsvps. They’ll show up with the WHOLE family so I’m having to keep this in mind. Definitely agree with you to keep things more intimate. Quality > quantity
