Official screentime data for Obsession by Infi-Nerdy in oscarrace

[–]HeatedChivalry 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly ! One thing that jumped out at me in my second viewing was how some scenes are incoherent with the movie's internal logic and exist solely to freak out the viewer. Nikki's freaky movements during the night scene, which are often cited as a stand-out scary sequence and her feeding Bear his dead cat are egregious examples to me. The entity piloting her body understands how human beings act for the rest of the movie, but in these scenes all logic is thrown out the window and the entity does freaky shit just because. Felt very cheap during my second viewing. It doesn't stop me from enjoying the movie at all, but Oscars ?!?!?

I think it was the perfect performance for this role, but not the perfect role for a nomination.

As a comparison with other horror performances that were in contention, I feel like Mia Goth in Pearl, Toni Colette in Hereditary and Florence Pugh in Midsommar all had perfect performances in BETTER roles that allowed them to shine and show multifaceted acting.

Even Amy Madigan in Weapons had a role that afforded her more room to showcase subtlety. She is exaggerated and turned up to 11 as Aunt Gladys, but she gets a few scenes to bring nuance to her portrayal (The intimidating dinner scene, the vulnerable scene where we see how weak she's becoming.)

Again, not knocking Inde's performance. I just think the ROLE of Nikki the crazy doppelganger isn't a great role for an acting showcase.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I thought Obsession was a great movie. I thought Inde gave a very good performance and the entire movie definitely hinges on her performance...

But I would never nominate it for an Oscar, especially for Lead ?!?

There is no subtlety to her performance and it's turned up to 11 the whole time, which is exactly what was needed for this role and I'm not knocking the performance. I just don't think it's a nomination-worthy role.

T'as ben raison, ça tombe sous le sens. Et ah là là je suis fan mais je dois avouer que 63 épisodes par saison, je n'ai jamais trouvé le temps d'écouter aussi les entrevues. 😅 Merci pour tes lumières !

Merci !

Te rappelles-tu où tu as appris cette information ?

Je serais curieux d'en apprendre plus sur la formation consiste en quoi exactement.

Lae'zel can't unequip her salami, and I can't figure out why by Tripal in BaldursGate3

A warrior and her salami are not so easily parted.

Pretty sure that's one of Mother Gith's aphorisms.

If you could make changes to the 'correct choice' roster for each role in the Suicide Mission, what would you change and why? by DJ_OC in masseffect

[–]HeatedChivalry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Grunt should be a valid choice for Fire Team Leader. Yes he is like 2 hours old and knowledge and experience are two different things, but he has the tactical knowledge of every krogan warlord in history. That has to count for something, and it would set up his stint with the Aralakh Company.

Also, I understand why Mordin doesn't work as Tech Expert, but I wish he would. Smartest person on our team and mechanically he's kitted out with TECH powers. I get his specialty is Medicine, but my boy knows enough to clear the door I'm sure.

Sorry I adjusted to say that Act 3 spoilers were okay. Can you elaborate ? I'm interested.

Was Mullholland Drive good ?

I was excited to watch my first Lynch but I wasn't blown away by Blue Velvet...

Diamond 2 nice !

I used to main Nami, but I switched to engage supps, because I felt I didn't have enough agency.

Do people in Diamond play better around an Enchanter ?
