He's gonna do a lot of normal stuff when that happens.Greg wrote
Trump is unable to make the almost half-billion-dollar bond necessary to appeal his New York civil fraud verdict. It appears the New York AG will start seizing Trump's property in about a week.

Re: The Official Review Thread of 2024
For the first 30 minutes, I found Julio Torres' Problemista irritating but as it went along I liked it more. It's the story of an El Salvadoran immigrant who comes to the U.S. for the opportunity to apply to work at a toy company and quickly afterwards finds one financial trap after another as he tr...

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Mister Tee wrote Not a revolution, but I'd say progress. What's closer to a revolution is the number of women nominated for Best Director. This decade alone (if we start in 2020), we've seen almost as many nominated (4) than in all of Academy history combined (5). Not to mention twice as many winne...

Beau is Afraid cost (I think) $35m and then spent a lot marketing it. It didn't make that money back at all.Okri wrote
Wasn't the recent Ari Aster film on that level (expense wise)?
I'd imagine this would have a better shot.

Re: Civil War reviews
I mentioned elsewhere that the film cost $50m which is A24's biggest budget to date. You have to imagine they wouldn't make an investment like this if they weren't sure about its commercial appeal and how to get it.

Mister Tee wrote For me, Alex Garland is one decent film a decade ago -- not much to hang hopes on. Film just premiered at SXSW. Early reactions are very positive. I'm going to wait for more proper film reviews (y'know, it's the SXSW crowd). I'm not the biggest Garland fan but 28 Days Later... was ...

Re: Oscar Ceremony
I just realized something. Jimmy Kimmel sort of pointed this out during the show but if they gave Al Pacino the Best Actress envelope again the same thing would've happened. He would've read out Poor Things. Because he 100% was not in a following the rules kind of mood that night. I know Al Pacino s...

Re: Oscar Ceremony
It seems like general consensus is mixed leaning positive, which is a triumph as far as Oscars are concerned. Maybe we're out of the retooling era. The two standouts seem to be Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" number and John Mulaney. Those are higher highs than most shows get. On the con side, Ji...
