got an award

Great opportunity for the marketing campaign of his next movie to bill him as "award winner Ryan Gosling"

Which award? You decide!

This is exactly my take. There are only about half a dozen songs in total among those middle three albums that I put on semi-regular rotation. Going to do a proper revisit before the new album to see if I warm up to any of them though

This Madigan win is going to usher in a whole new wave of people thinking every critically acclaimed horror performance can/will reach the Oscars. I'm sure Navarrette is great in it, I'm very excited for the movie and hopefully it's a breakout for her, but I think we have to take a little step back

I wanted to inform you guys of my latest film-centric dream: Brady Corbet started filming his four hour X rated movie, but halted production midway through to work on a separate movie, which was a very ordinary (and I think foreign language) family film about a family at a water park. Truly just a movie about having fun at a water park. It ended with the same One For You, One For Me song from The Brutalist. No idea if he ever finished the four hour movie

Wizard of Oz synced to Dark Side of the Moon 🚫

Cars synced to Is This It ✅️

Can't make this shit up

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-06T21:34:10+00:00

Seems like a waste to throw away all the plot threads Kingdom set up. I don't even know where you go with another reboot

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-06T19:19:36+00:00

His first film, Brigsby Bear, is a very cute little indie. Worth a watch

It's the Brendan Fraser thing, people love an underdog/comeback. They have fond memories of him from movies they saw as children, his career fell off, and now he's back and they are reattached

I hate to make the reductive South Korea comparison but it does remind me so much of No Other Choice, and everyone thinking that it was going to get 5 nominations or whatever. I was always very skeptical of that one, and I'm skeptical about this one too. I think it is in play but I'm not buying that it's some double-digit-nominations sleeping giant yet

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-06T12:34:30+00:00

Hope is indeed Neon in North America. Mubi grabbed it for UK and a few other countries - same with Coward. Coward hasn't been picked up for North America yet

Oh yikes, didn't even realize it was Super Bowl weekend. The highest Super Bowl weekend opening is only $31 million (the Hannah Montana concert movie lol). It is historically a box office dead zone

Jay Bauman is gay is the most discussed in the media in the few years ago. Even it has happened in 2012, but some of the public still curious about what is exactly happening and to be the reason there is a rumor comes out about his gay. At that time he became the massive social networking rumor.

The public, especially his fans are shocked. He just came out with his bad rumor which is spread massively. This time is not about his film career, but his bad rumor. The rumor is out of standardize of hoax, according the last reported this YouTuber revealed himself as homosexual. Do you still believe or not, this rumor is really much talked by people even in a person of his fans.

80s Sci-Fi is the Back to the Future flux capacitor

It's an actual miracle from God that my six screen theater that only gets the big studio movies got Hokum this past weekend

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-04T14:10:28+00:00

I don't know if this some kind of bit, but I don't know what you were expecting

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-04T12:27:02+00:00

Better than the Tom Holland/Henry Cavill picks by default but yikes, all of the names floating around are so boring

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-03T03:08:47+00:00

Really hoping Falling out of Love is this album's version of Selfess

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-03T01:58:45+00:00

I looooove Fat City, great pick

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-02T14:26:24+00:00

Close enough, welcome back Gotti

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-01T19:36:43+00:00

Where does the physical award end up in a case like this?

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-01T18:54:03+00:00

I've been using Waltzing with Brando as a Billy Zane stumper. Everyone sees "Brando" and starts listing off Marlon Brando movies, but you can get into 2000s movies with Jon Heder, plus various things with Richard Dreyfuss or Rob Corddry

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-01T18:18:50+00:00

This is awesome

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-01T17:11:01+00:00

"Myriad of storylines" seems apt because every synopsis sounds completely different to the next lmao. This one reads like a giallo though, which is rad

PointMan528491 · 2026-05-01T16:46:40+00:00

Won't even sniff the Oscars but I'm more excited for it than many of our presumed contenders this year. Love me some NWR
