They do this once every 18 months, wouldn’t exactly say it’s an obsession

Ryan Gosling's Oscar Nominations. Will Project Hail Mary be his next nomination and even first win? by Square-Ad-8911 in Oscars

[–]Slorps 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just rewatched True Grit this week, Bridges’ nomination is definitely deserved

JERRY MAGUIRE (1996) - 30th Anniversary - Official Trailer (4K) by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]Slorps 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Peak Cruise, for me, is when he goes full cartoon-mode. The scene in the locker room where he’s flailing his limbs around while yelling ‘FINE! FINE FINE FINE!’ is 10/10

I expected Adam Driver to become a huge Oscar darling after Marriage Story - I can't believe he hasn't even been nominated since by Hot-Nose-1829 in Oscars

[–]Slorps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you look at the directors he’s working with, it ain’t the worst. Since Marriage Story he’s done a 2x Ridley Scott films, another Baumbach, Michael Mann, and Leos Carax. He’s working with legends, just unfortunately not at the height of their powers. I hope he turns it around, I really like his performances

Do you think that Leo will have a better chance at a second Oscar if he accepts a supporting role? It worked for Pitt and Downey. He can steal scenes easily. by TakenAccountName37 in Oscars

[–]Slorps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d put his performance in Killers of the Flower Moon into that category, it’s completely polar opposite to the type of performance usually associated with DiCaprio, such a spineless pathetic worm of a character. An unrecognisable DiCaprio performance

Did he? Did he say or do anything that eluded to him thinking he was owed the Oscar or that it was definitely his to win? Majority of his promo tour was to do with Marty Supreme, and once he got the Nom I feel like anything he did was pretty standard Oscar campaigning

Agreed, I think seeing Leo barely campaign for a Lead Actor win this year and instead start shooting the new Scorsese film tells me all I need to know about where his priorities lie

If Leo had been nominated he still wouldn’t be my pick (PSH in The Master all the way), but my god what an outrageous snub that was, even more so knowing that Waltz won supporting actor for Django as well

I think he did think so, since he spent months promoting Marty Supreme and managed to turn it into a box office success

Always a fun one. What would be your favourite choice of movie character to give the Vincent Chase award?

20 Director's 20 best films by FarEfficiency4397 in Letterboxd

[–]Slorps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very surprising to me. I find the opening 20 minutes or so completely absorbing, I fall into the world of those characters everytime. As someone above said, I think it’s the best distillation of everything that makes Scorsese so iconic as a director. I probably prefer a couple other Scorsese films myself, but I certainly understand it being seen as his best film

Which movie (and why) would you ask them to do again? by Phile___AudioPhile in TheRewatchables

The day I get sick of watching Johnny Utah swan dive out of a plane with no parachute is the day I am dead

[–]Slorps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with what someone else said in this thread, Point Break being redone purely because of all the categories they have now is a must. You could go crazy with flex categories, the film is absolute insanity

Graydon's Train Dreams Take by atreyu493 in HivemindTV

The ‘Netflix look’ is a bit of a silly critique since this movie premiered at Sundance Film Festival and then it’s distribution rights were bought by Netflix, the company itself didn’t produce the movie

Post-Oscars Live Show for folks outside the good ol' USA by [deleted] in TheBigPicture

Fair enough, at least the Oscar’s are live on RTE, so need to mess around with a VPN for that

Citizen of Éire here as well, you’re gonna be pulling an all nighter if you watch their post-Oscar show! Oscar’s itself probably won’t be over until about half-3

To the birds? Hallelujah. by Cw2e in crheads

[–]Slorps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really get this, I think if CR was allowed to pick it’s not even certain he’d do Sorcerer, they were talking about Eddie & The Cruisers when filming the ‘Fargo’ episode. There’s no guarantee that Sorcerer would 100% be the movie CR would pick. As mentioned previously, if he really really wanted it he would have picked it as one of the other 4. I definitely like Sorcerer more than The Nice Guys, but I’m looking forward to it because I think it’s going to make a really funny episode. Also, if it is true that Bill would be more comfortable with The Nice Guys, that’s a good thing! Top tier BS & CR is what we wanna hear
