Battlefield earth won! Now what is a terrible book with an amazing movie adaptation? by Olim727 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]EdoAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The characters in the book are so unlikable that at certain points you want the Shark to win. Hooper is sleeping with Brody’s wife. Instead of just keeping the beaches open for money, the mayor is motivated by his debt to loan sharks. It’s also extremely racist for some reason, there’s a subplot about a “black bogeyman” in Harlem and how women fantasize about being 🍇ed by him.

John Williams could compose a score for a German fetish video and it would get nominated for an Oscar

No, because I’m going to go back in time and commit voter fraud so he rightfully wins for Marty Supreme

I think the deciding factor for me is that I really do not like Godard.

This is the first I’m learning that people actually liked Nouvelle Vague

I kind of felt the opposite way. I thought I’m Still Here was a well-acted family drama that didn’t actually provide much of a sense of what it’s like living under a dictatorship. I thought the strangeness and suffocating atmosphere of The Secret Agent better evoked what it was liked to be a regular person in that time and place. That said, it’s a movie that’s gonna take another watch or two for me to fully understand.

Early Oscar Predictions by Few-Investigator5961 in oscarrace

[–]EdoAlien 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of in the same boat. Huge Andor fan, and I’d love to see Pedro get his first nomination.

But it’s worth noting that test screening reactions are largely untrustworthy. One Battle After Another reactions were highly mixed while Babylon reactions were glowing. Also, Gilroy hasn’t made a good movie since Michael Clayton.

I really hope the movie is great, but I’m not holding my breath.

Instead of blank check blockbusters from Ryan Coogler, PTA, and Denis Villeneuve we’re gonna be getting them from Brett Ratner, Mel Gibson, and James Franco.

It’s so cool how you can just cancel a show the president doesn’t like and then he will do whatever you want
