Re: 2024 Emmy Awards
Okri wrote I've been meaning to watch Baby Reindeer, but I wonder if the ethically fractious part of it will turn voters off. Especially when they can just vote for Masters of the Air or something less discomfiting. When it comes to Emmy voting, I have no idea. What I do know is that the people who...

2024 Emmy Awards
Crazy to be talking about the Emmys again so soon after the last category. I have a feeling it's going to be an underwhelming affair full of sweeps. I think the category(ies) to watch are in the realm of Limited Series. This is a very zeitgeisty format. One award that I think has to be pretty locked...

Re: The Official Review Thread of 2024
The Fall Guy reminds me a little of Free Guy. Different actor and director (although it's not hard to see them swapping) but a reasonably fun, fresh piece of summer entertainment. The big difference between them is watching Free Guy I realized the limitations of making a movie from that kind of scen...

Re: New Developments III
Greg wrote Trying to predict Trump's mind, including the VP choice he will make, always appears to be a lost cause. Bloomberg is now reporting Trump’s final four are Doug Burgum, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, and JD Vance. Which means he’s probably picking JD Vance, right? I was wondering why Doug Burgum...

Re: Dune, Part 2
danfrank wrote I, of course, also prefer films with strong stories and themes I can relate to. There are certain films, though, that are just so cinematically captivating that I can overlook the story weakness and just enjoy the cinematic ride. Dune 2 fits that bill, as have other films like Mad Ma...

Greg wrote And now, DeSantis just signed a law criminalizing food he doesn't like. What do you make of DeSantis' meeting with Trump? After the Kristi Noem meltdown, I don't see a strong VP candidate for him. Everyone else comes with significant problems (besides the fact that they're all obviously ...

Re: Dune, Part 2
Mister Tee wrote No doubt, had this film come out last Fall as intended, Godzilla Minus One wouldn't have had a prayer of winning the effects Oscar. It's fully likely Dune will take the prize next Spring, and I'll have no issue with that. Other nominations in the glamour categories (film/director),...

Re: The Official Review Thread of 2024
Zendaya weekend! Denis Villeneuve's Dune franchise just isn't my thing for a few reasons. It has a lot of ideas but they're more spoken about in hushed tones than dramatized. I don't necessarily want it to be a series but I think a lot of its ideas would be more successful in a serialized format. Th...

Re: Challengers reviews
Big Magilla wrote Zendaya is fine but it's never explained why her character is so cranky, or as one of the twins said in their YouTube review, so mean. Haha, I'm glad you said this because the biggest issue I have with the film is Zendaya although I think her role in the film is interesting and ul...

Re: Challengers reviews
If Challengers wasn't thrillingly directed, it would still be a good movie. It's a strong script with a compelling love triangle. All three characters are equally important (not always the case in love triangles). And it's very well-plotted. I either never knew where it was going or it got there in ...

Haven't seen any of his films. Should definitely remedy that.
