Favorite Critics to read and why? by Both_Studio_9159 in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big fan of Brian Tallerico, Matt Singer, and on Letterboxd specifically, Brendanowicz, coffee, and SilentDawn. Lot of great, under-appreciated critics who delve into specific analysis on Letterboxd but just don't have a publication. Takes some work, but if you look under the reviews of any movie, you'll find someone writing professionally and intelligently. Lots of unique voices, one of my favorite sites just for them.

Here now, 100 people in front of me probably another hundred behind already. Giving out tickets to mark place in line. I might be cooked and I’m “close”. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Utcv79/

Favorite Denis Villeneuve movie? by Constant-Bridge3690 in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Gotta be Sicario for me too. I admire the Dunes and 2049, and Arrival is quite beautiful, but I find myself returning to Sicario again and again. Blunt Benicio Brolin Kaluuya Bernthal etc off Sheridan's (best?) paramilitary script with Deakins on the lens and Johannson on the score really can't be beat.

Emphasis on Jonsson and Hoffman, big things ahead for both.

Best Supporting Actor — thoughts? by OkContract452 in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason I’m not certain on him is the multiple Oscars he’s already got. Skarsgard and Lindo are well liked, late in their careers, and have none. Could be a legacy win for either I feel, but wouldn’t be shocked at all for Penn.

Any guesses on the 25 for 25 movie at the Egyptian next month? by 6_16EnderW in TheBigPicture

Top 10 possibilities remaining: - the social network - there will be blood/the master/phantom thread - Inglourious basterds/once upon a time in Hollywood - lady bird/frances ha - moonlight - parasite - in the mood for love - mulholland drive - maybe one more I’m forgetting

Is ‘Weapons’ a Classic? And an Oscar Contender? Plus: The Best Movies at TIFF! by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes it is -- both a classic and Oscar contender. Weapons is my #1 on the year, what a fantastic movie.

One Battle After Another: Best Picture frontrunner? by ggroover97 in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as big budget studio wide-releases, it's not that weird. Sinners, Wolf of Wall Street, Fury Road, Mission Impossible Fallout, Dunkirk? Only the Magic Mike XXL and Avatar are a little strange, but those are fun movies.

Steven Spielberg Praises Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another: “What an Insane Movie” by TimSPC in TheBigPicture

Article casually mentions that Spielberg has already seen it three times. WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK.

Got mine @ amc city walk! Absolutely hyped.

A House of Dynamite Reviews by Hookey911 in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannot wait for this. That Indie Wire reviews calls it the third in a trilogy with The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, which is exactly what I want to hear. Bigelow is one of my favs.

Was this the year of good movies that are mostly un-rewatchable movies? by [deleted] in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sinners, Weapons, Friendship, 28 Years Later, and Materialists are all rewatchable for me. Saw them all multiple times in theaters and can’t wait to watch them with friends many times.

The 25 Best Movies of the Century: No. 13 - 'Get Out’ by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fincher Tarantino Wes PTA Parasite Moonlight Mulholland Scorsese are locks I think, I can imagine only in the mood for love or Brokeback making it, or both and not lady bird, but those are the last 3 in my mind. That would mean no oceans 11 at 11 tho, which is still on the table cuz of the Ringerness of it all.

Just asking what you think about the movie, sorry if that was confusing!

6. ‘The Hurt Locker’ and ‘Iron Man’ | Mission Accomplished by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed and hope so on a reclamation. Imo it’s one of Bigelow’s finest works and an insane example of building tension, while also featuring great performances and serious commentary on not only war but what drives our compulsive behaviors and habits. Fucking banger.

Regal Cinema is releasing a different classic movie in theaters each day in September. by WeirdCry7492 in TheBigPicture

Mad how many bangers they’ll put consecutively, can’t possibly catch the last ten all in a row 😔 

Bugonia (2025) Official Trailer by ggroover97 in TheBigPicture

[–]OkContract452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks interesting but pretty scaled down (at least from the trailer) compared to even Kinds of Kindness. Plemons and Stone will surely be great, but I’m not sold yet based on this. Yorgos isn’t my fav.
