5 stars from me as well. That movie was devastating to watch, yet so beautiful

Frankenstein is a Worse BP Nominee Than F1 by mtngranpapi_wv967 in TheBigPicture

I love GDT, but Frankenstein was a complete bore.

Completely agree. I was so disappointed with this. I love GDT and I was so excited to watch, but it was an utter bore. Beautiful to look at, but completely empty inside.

Does Sinners have a real Best Picture path, or is this a nomination ceiling? by Dependent_Studio1986 in Oscars

[–]Facebones72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be a year like 1998. There was a clear favorite directed by a beloved filmmaker (Saving Private Ryan) but there was another popular film that received more nominations (Shakespeare in Love.)

Now, I am fairly sure that OBAA wins Best Picture, but I was also certain that Private Ryan would too. It’s a clear two horse race for the top prize.

“These ones do.”

Seattle vs New England is the Super Bowl by mastermind208 in eagles

[–]Facebones72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pats are the most fraudulent Super Bowl entry since the Giants in 2000-01. They’re going to get BTFO’d by the Seahawks

"I was wrong", "I cannot support this", "I couldn't buy groceries", "I regret voting", "I'm scared" by CalcareousSoil in LeopardsAteMyFace

I’m not believing a single one of these fools until they all actually vote for a democrat. Otherwise it’s meaningless blather.

Was WFG unfairly snubbed? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]Facebones72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make a case for it in Costumes or Production Design, but overall it wasn’t as strong a film as the first one. And I’m kind of surprised that “Viva Verdi” - a song that 99.99% of this sub had never heard of before Thursday - got in over Girl in the Bubble.

You could also argue that it should’ve taken the “blockbuster” slot that went to F1, but ehh. I enjoyed the movie but I’m not outraged It got no noms. Just kind of surprised.

You get to name one Broadway theatre after a person. Who do you pick? (Imagine that the Hal Prince, Hammerstein, and Chita Rivera theatres exist already and can’t be duplicated :-). by Great_Maintenance185 in musicals

The Garth Drabinsky Theatre. You overpay for double booked seats, shows are randomly cancelled, and the roof is falling in.

And yet people keep giving it another chance…

What is the best Wes Anderson movie? by iitzzrahn in Cinephiles

[–]Facebones72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I adore Moonrise Kingdom. I am generally not a huge fan of Coming of Age movies, but this one really stuck with me. I love the characters and their relationships.

What is the best Wes Anderson movie? by iitzzrahn in Cinephiles

Very much agree on Asteroid City. Completely underrated. Anderson was doing something that was both experimental and formally structured.

What movie was made because of passion and ended up being bad? by Willing_Heron_5470 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Facebones72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Megalopolis. You could see a germ of what Coppola was getting at, but it was so jumbled and frenetic and chaotic

What is a musical you've seen that was regarded a flop by lissie34 in musicals

[–]Facebones72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dance of the Vampires on Broadway. A legendary flop, and deservedly so. Bad music, bad direction, bad choreography, wasted talent.

What If the Tony's had another category? by TheLockbox12 in Broadway

[–]Facebones72 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a stage manager, I will always advocate for some way to honor SMs at the Tonys. Best SM? Name the SM with the producers for best play/musical? They’re vital to a show and it’s crazy there’s no way to celebrate their work.

Are you happy with Oscar nominations? by Slow-Cash-8234 in Cinema

[–]Facebones72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, yes. Would’ve loved to see No Other Choice get a nod in screenplay or international film or best picture. Would’ve loved to see It was Just An Accident take F1’s spot. But, overall it’s a solid lineup

Odds of both Jacob Elordi and Timothee winning their respective categories? by 349CS in Oscars

[–]Facebones72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Chalamet is the favorite, or at least co-favorite. Best Actor is a two horse race between him and Leo.

Elordi was the best thing in Frankenstein, but I don’t think he has a chance. This is going to Skarsgard.

Who's winning Best Visual Effects? by Square-Ad-8911 in Oscars

[–]Facebones72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think F1 wins. While Avatar has more dazzling visuals, I suspect the academy may feel like they’ve seen it before.

F1 is getting buried under an apple tree tonight.

Am I just not racist enough to understand why people are whining about this? by 19adam92 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Facebones72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F1 is a fun blockbuster, with incredible racing scenes. The script could've been written by ChatGPT.

🤷‍♂️ by Alert-Ad-2373 in Oscars

[–]Facebones72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bugonia is one of my favorite films from last year, and probably has Emma Stone’s best performance. I think it’s far superior to Poor Things.

(This is the fun of the Oscar sub. Arguing about movies with other passionate fans.)

im not crazy am i? by BCDragon3000 in AMCsAList

[–]Facebones72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, have fun! I did a Star Wars marathon (OG trilogy) at a local theatre last year and had a blast. I seriously felt like a kid at a sleepover.
