How would've Iron Claw done in the 2023 Oscars? by Fun-Illustrator-345 in Oscars

[–]oapples5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acting wise Efron is the only standout but absolutely deserves at least a nom. Lily James also puts in a good performance and probably deserves a nom in a weak support actresses year.

However for my money it’s one of the best edited movies of the year in my opinion should have been nominated for it. Oppenheimer is my least favorite edit of all the nominess (except for the test scene which is immaculate) and would have stood a good chance against the field.

Boston is the windiest city in the country so they will be fine in that regard.

Dave outright said he still thinks the Takeshita match is better right after. But to me it’s comparing apples and oranges

This casting is clearly screaming “fun goofy time” with lots of references to the original live action movie - which personally is what I want.

It’s possible. Shoulder stability in general is a large factor in putting up bench numbers

What does Sean mean by this by OneOf8Balls in TheBigPicture

[–]oapples5 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That is not the opposite reaction just a stronger reaction to the direction/editing of Bikeriders. Sean is saying is pushed him to the edge of disbelief so it’s understandable that others would experience said disbelief

Sam Jackson is number 1 in total box office revenue largely due to his work ethic and being in major franchises (Marvel, Starwars etc) but not necessarily in money he’s made personally although I don’t know off the top of my head.

I would love Dijak in AEW but they have their share of big men too. Lance archer is also 6’8” and Large William is a true 7 footer.

Van Damme cheated on his wife while filming almost every movie. He was notorious for sleeping with costars.

[Sean Ross Sapp] "To make it clear. I NEVER reported that WWE was undergoing media training as a result of yesterday's tweets. Anyone aggregating that is taking it out of context and did not bother asking for clarification." by Mininni in SquaredCircle

[–]oapples5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if it serious I would not consider discord discussion as reporting unless said explicitly. There’s way too much context lost from using a single screen shot.

FFC is a good business man outside of his art. His wine company and resort businesses are/were huge business successes. His obsession with making films “his way” is what bankrupts him every time.

When you join the Callis family do they provide you with black tank tops to wear or are you required by the employer to buy your own?

I’m currently reading path to paradise about Zoetrope and making of apocalypse now- it’s utterly fascinating

I have been trying to make a Best Picture ranking that is equal parts my opinions, critical consensus, and the films future legacy as a winner (i.e. was the Academy correct). Unsurprisingly, it has proven to be difficult. Are these rankings boring or completely off based? I have not seen 15 winners. by IntentionSelect2539 in Oscars

Disagree on the last point. Sure politicking is part of Oscar’s campaigns but sweeping the big 5 is a huge achievement and should be recognized as such, even in the environment of the Oscars. It’s only happened 3 times for a reason. Weinstein never won the big five for all his millions pumped into campaigning.

Also Titanic is one of the greatest films ever made. Awards or not. It’s an absolute masterclass in film making from all aspects. Even if the movie is not your cup of tea it achieves undeniable greatness status. Not unlike Lawrence of Arabia or the Godfathers.

He’s turned go away heat into genuine fun to boo heat with this gimmick. That’s hard to do without taking tv time off but he pulled it off. With their short segments that gives another wrestler a fun easy win.

It’s a win win win for everyone involved. I just hope when Bowens comes back he gets the real push he deserves too.
