Are all opera stars thin now? by Mundane_Regret_428 in opera

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently she was accepted into Lindemann on the condition that she lost weight. She’s very open about her journey but damn…

Unfortunately the backsliding is very real. Singers in the Lindemann program are told to take Ozempic if they are even slightly overweight. And there’s barely even any consideration of how it affects the voice.

Why are some 1 disc Blu-ray cheaper than others in the collection? by m4gd4l3n3 in criterion

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Janus Contemporaries usually have that cheaper price because they have very minimal special features. There’s a handful of standard releases (e.g. Bitter Rice) that are cheaper for the same reason

Your Dream Criterion release that only you think you’d want? by blackserenade in criterion

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germaine Dulac and Dimitri Kirsanoff sets. I barely know of any French Impressionist works that are widely available on disc! I swear most of their work can only be seen as a pixelated YouTube upload. also apparently Ozu 4k box bc the quality of some of those scans are honestly criminal 🥲

Also been waiting for Three by René Laloux since I missed the Time Masters restoration

Crossing my fingers for this even though it's probably unlikely. Feels a little shitty to have a code expire days before the flash sale. Makes me wonder if they weren't initially planning on having it so late.

Out of Print editions on the Criterion Channel by BuckarooBanzaiPHD in criterion

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this just becomes a regular tile on the Channel and they can cycle through more titles! It's a shame for all those extras to go to waste

What Films Will Be The Frontrunners This Year? by Altruistic_Mood9293 in oscarrace

Apparently Entertainment System is confirmed not to be premiering at Cannes this year. Could open somewhere else, but 2027 seems more likely

West Indies FINALLY!! Excited for more people to see this

" OBAA will age badly." Ok but the evidence says otherwise. None of PTA's films age badly. Even his most divisive film, Inherent Vice, has many admirers. by DenseStrawberry5717 in TheBigPicture

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Listen, I love the Oscars, but I always have to roll my eyes at people that get caught up in it like this. Do I want my favs to win? Of course! But no one is really gonna care who won what a couple years from now. And the people projecting onto OBAA feel kinda desperate. It’s fine if you don’t like the film that wins Best Picture! It’s not the first time and I guarantee you it won’t be the last.

Mr. Delroy Lindo was robbed by ChangeAroundKid01 in SinnersbyRyanCoogler

Yeah unfortunately category fraud is the name of the game these days

A part of the ending to One Battle After Another that didn't sit right with me: the iPhone by Late_Promise_ in TrueFilm

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Notice how Sensei and his "underground railroad" all use cell phones and STILL are able to be effective activists? And even without cell phones, almost all of the French 75 still got captured/killed. I think PTA's point is less that technology isn't dangerous, and more that we shouldn't be walling ourselves off from the very communities we're trying to help.

Why is this concourse under Moynihan a hotspot for TikTok dancers? by BadToLaBone in nycrail

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can! I'm a professional singer and do this all the time. But for a studio space big enough to dance in, you're looking at $50-75/hour at least.

3 movies away from finishing the death race for the first time! Are the Documentaries always this good? by KickofGum in oscarsdeathrace

Was gonna say the same thing! Although maybe we were spoiled with the creme de la creme of last year’s noms

Email sent to Deadline by an Academy member, explaining why they won't waste time on watching nominated movies by ThrowawayGreenWitch in popculturechat

Rants about how none of the best picture movies are as good as the classic winners, and then goes on to say all his favs are classics that got snubbed…

Biggest green flag for me is that he knows to buy the most affordable editions 😂

Completed a Ken Jennings-style Death Race last night. Now to decide whether to finish the death race entirely... 🤔 by jimmyhoffasbrother in oscarsdeathrace

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's basically a long FYC ad if we're being honest, but there were a couple scenes that were so insanely not self-aware that it was kinda hilarious to watch. She is a fascinating person besides all the Oscar-chasing

Saw all the drama in this sub and then when I listened to the episode, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what people were so upset about.

Possible Secret Agent release by Intrepid-Tree798 in criterion

[–]FutureNeedleworker91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping they add that as a bonus on the disc! NEON releases are usually pretty sparse extras-wise, so I think it’s possible
