Sam Rockwell is now the first cast member from the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie to win an Oscar.

Since "mute" appeared on Netflix, they put "Moon" back on streaming. In one scene of "mute", you can see in the background the Sam Rockwell character of "Moon" testifying on TV screens, along with his clones.

Kobe is an Oscar winner. Officially the GOAT

Just got done rewatching 10 Cloverfield Lane, great movie but it reminded me why I hate the ending so god damn much. Goodman still killed it though.

Death Wish is a good movie.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Death Wish is a good movie.

That makes me happy. Getting slaughtered in the reviews.

 

[Topkick]

Death WIsh: 85 percent of the audience like it on Rotten Tomatoes. The current anti gun rhetoric is driving the bad reviews in the media. I really enjoyed it.

Calling it a good movie might be an overstatement but it was a good, easy rebound for me after enduring Three Billboards last night.

Shape of Water looks creepy AF.

Same I didn't realized the Gal Gadot and Natalie Portman were so offensive. Anyone know if the Israelis would ever censor a movie based on an Arab/Muslim actor?

I’m not quite getting your post.

I didn't find Gal Gardot offensive. I don’t hate the actress, but she didn’t inspire me. I hate the Wonder Woman, the movie. I do blame the script, the director and everything that produced the output which was a empty story of a woman bounding around in a shiny bustiere while everyone was just extras. I found the treatment of World War I component shallow. Such a big budget to make one woman ‘look’ unrealistically good. I wished it made more sense even by Super Hero standards. So today I asked another woman’s opinion, I’ve been asking men, who all look at me like I’m overly harsh. I turned to my left and asked the quirky lady next to me. After having a fun chat to her about her doll collection, I asked her opinion on if she enjoyed Wonder Woman. Her answer was to scrunch her nose and reply, ‘Not really.’

I’m just not getting the high rating.

I think once you've thumped Arab countries everytime they decide to start a war, you stop sweating the small stuff.

Does this kind of stuff really need to be part of this thread? I refer to both comments here.

Good or not, that's an opinion. It became obvious though how biased the media can be about movie reviews when I went to see Death Wish Yesterday with 2 other people whom also liked the movie, and the theater was nearly packed. If you read the subpar reviews, the authors mostly make reference to gun control and violence and lead you to believe that no one liked it.

I've stopped taking reviews from critics into consideration anymore, overtime it became apparent to me how people's bias would show through in their reviews skewing scores. So now I watch trailers, read story summaries and see what my friends have said it.

I miss Ebert. For the most part he never let me down.

Looking forward to what Jordan Peele will do in the years to come. Rockwell is a great actor and I’m happy he was finally nominated but Willem Dafoe will make you feel good about humans again after you see him in The Florida Project. And he’s LONG overdue for a win (first of his 3 nominations was platoon over 30 years ago.)

Still glad Rockwell has the W. And if we are talking about overdue- Oldman finally takes it home.

Happy Del Toro finally won one. These Mexican directors are killing it- 4 of the last 5 have gone to the “three amigos” as their called (not kidding or being racist, that’s what they call themselves.)

Agree. And I liked it....it's just not going to win any awards, that's all. I was entertained and that's all I was looking for.

What stuff?

I can't watch movies with Israeli actors in them where I'm at because they don't play them in the theaters.

I was asking rhetorically if Gal Gadot and Natalie Portman were offensive.

 

[DC]

Hollywierd is offensive off screen for the sake of argument. As entertainment goes some good some garbage...mostly garbage. Since spending too many years around the life draining self serving entertainers I can say that none of them are worth spit or arguing about.

No @Serenity . Just no. Talk about movies all you want in this thread, but DO NOT attempt to turn someone's offhanded comments into something they are not. If you are somehow offended by what you read here, then stop reading.
