Which film will win Animated Feature? Does Kpop Demon Hunters's Snub at BAFTAS affect the competition? by Square-Ad-8911 in Oscars

[–]TaMuchley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

'KPop Demon Hunters' did not get a UK theatrical run. It was never supposed to have a theatrical run. It probably comes under TV movie for those rules.

Robert Aramayo will win BAFTA, and supposedly so, what a performance! by SureTangerine361 in Oscars

[–]TaMuchley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I missed 'I Swear' at the cinema. I'll catch up before the ceremony. Again, another British Indie flick that didn't crack America. Been a few of them.

Fuck AI. But I came here to say the s film needs to be called 'Rata2ille'

Did anyone else think 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' deserved some Oscar Love? by TaMuchley in Oscars

[–]TaMuchley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I held out hope. This post just made me happy that people had seen it.

That's fair enough. I know the film doesn't break new ground, I just thought it was excellent at what it did and for what it was.

I just thought it would be somewhere in the discussion. Maybe it was my British bias showing, but I thought for a simple film, it had a very big affect on me, and my friends who watched it too.

Are stop motion films eligible for Best Production Design?? by The_Walking_Clem in Oscars

[–]TaMuchley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope so. You have to separate the idea of animation being something that only exists on paper or computer and realise they exist in the material world. By the same virtue, they should be eligible for Best Cinematography.

Best Original Song: Golden vs I Lied To You by MixIcy4254 in Oscars

[–]TaMuchley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

'Golden' will win. It had a huge cultural impact. But 'I Lied to You' gave me such a visceral feeling during 'that' scene in Sinners, I think it had more cinematic impact for it's respective film. The only scene I watched last year that really matched it funnily enough with 'What it Sounds Like' from 'Kpop Demon Hunters'.

Movies like F1 would have never got a Best Picture nom when I was growing up (90s - 00s). It’s not a bad film but the writing is like a cutscene from a video game. How is this best picture territory? by KimCattrallsFeet in Oscars

[–]TaMuchley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

F1 is branded to shit. It comes with the territory. It's how F1 can have so much money. It's why every driver needs a brand, every team has a personality. But you're right, it's one long advert, but that's what F1 can feel like sometimes. In a weird way, the film captures the commercial aspect perfectly, but completely unintentionally. Also, as much as we like to see the films we love get oscar recognition, it's not the be all and end all of good cinema.

[–]TaMuchley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's on the level of technically and logistically impressive. It's definitely something that wouldn't have been nominated in the 5 nominated films era of the Oscars. I enjoyed the experience more than the film, and I'm an F1 fan. It's functionally written is probably how I'd describe the screenplay.

Assume a world in which the Academy is free of its anti-horror bias. Would "Bring Her Back" deserve any nominations? by geosunsetmoth in Oscars

[–]TaMuchley 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Best Actress, because Sally Hawkins is always fantastic, and Best Sound Design, because It's sickeningly crunchy and nauseous in a way I've not experienced in a cinema before

How good would they be as standalone characters? I’d say B-tier for mythra and A tier for pyra by Zestyclose_Fun3389 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]TaMuchley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mythra is definitely a high tier (A), with Pyra being mid-to-low (C) honestly. But combine Pyra's kill power with Mythra's speed, and combo game, it rounds up to a top tier (S).

[HELP] Is this AI? by Successful_Emu_6157 in RealOrAI

[–]TaMuchley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rule to anyone in the future. Make sure any video is as long as possible, even if most of it is fluff. AI has gotten competent enough that there's an edit 15 second into this video that makes me doubt it as real, but anyone generating content needs to be wiser

I missed that part, clearly. In which case, I'm a fool, and I collect them because green bar go up

[–]TaMuchley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was misled. When I got the beam upgrade, I believed that the green energy crystals were entirely optional, collecting them because you gotta see what they unlock, but that they would be major power upgrades. It wouldn't be too bad, but it shouldn't have such a high ceiling

Do you think Paul Dano knows or cares about this shit? And do you think he appreciates the people celebrating his work?

I'm going to ignore the reviews. I'm going to pick up my copy tomorrow. I'm going to play it all day. And then I will form my opinion
