The Oscars (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=290821)

TV shows have overtaken movies in popularity. Happened at least a decade ago when Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones were all the talk.

When I was a kid, we used to quote all the time from films. Or discuss memorable scenes from films. I can't remember the last time I did that with today's films. They're easily forgettable.

A grown man who has so little emotional regulation that he can't handle being disappointed by a sci-fi movie is unpredictable. IT IS NOT LIKE BOOOOKKKKKK :)

I think there was a very significant erosion in quality especially with Covid forcing producers to embrace the new reality of movie theaters. Great scripts dont always get matched with the best directors who pump $ into a star studded cast. So the market was flooded with marvel movies and sequels and kids movies.Agreed there were still great films from independent directors and it’s good to see the industry embrace them, but it feels like we’re finally hitting that happy medium again where a producer can get behind an original movie without the blockbuster gimmicks. I feel like this year was a really good step in the right direction for movies even if the top billing at the Oscar’s was a little underwhelming.

And credit to the Oscar’s for leaning into that. They seemed to very intentionally reward originality. Dune 2 was your Oppenheimer spectacle. A complete unknown was your standard overrewarded biopic like the overrated Elton John/queen movies (shame, since the complete unknown is legitimately good). Wicked is kind of that Barbie blockbuster. Anora and the brutalist are way more of a gimmick free movie which is a little refreshing.

Hoping there is movement there. The obsession is mediocre (at best) comic book and other misc IP based movies has been pretty bad. It is a weird business to be in especially with so much quality TV out there.

There's more to life than stuffing your face with 5,000+ calories per day as well

It sucks because I don’t have time to invest in binge watching TV series. I miss the escapism of the theaters but the super hero genre is just lowest common denominator bs that I can’t stand.

Yea never really saw it that way and it makes sense.

And it is not like music where so much is so accessible even if the popular stuff is not for you there is music absolutely everywhere.

There are lots of movies as well but the signal to noise ratio is a lot different.

Also, why does Deberg hate sex workers?

Deadpool & Wolverine was pretty good.

None of the nominated movies really interest me. Maybe A Complete Unknown as I remember the hoopla when Dylan went electric and I am a music fan. Just not a big fan of his music. I do recognize that he was a great songwriter and always had good musicians in his bands.

Sorry for engaging the troll, everybody. I occasionally remind people not to do that shit in DC, and here I go doing it in the main forum. :spank:

Oh, and apologies to whoever the **** FD is. Sorry I made your pussy hurt, champ. Maybe one day you'll read a really good book that doesn't have any pictures in it, and then perhaps you'll understand.

You know a clean piece of drywall adjacent to a movie theater hates to see this guy coming.

There have been dips that corresponded to things like covid and strikes, but the greater access to the mechanisms to create film + the need for more content has gotten films made that never would have in the past. Sometimes that means a really shitty movie, but it also means a surge in really creative ideas and interesting voices. The problem is what makes it to most theaters. I really hope you're right and studios are starting to recognize the value of of big studio movies with a brain and a heart. That particular kind of film is missed.

Eh, if you’ve seen all the clips you’ve seen what you needed to see. Long monologue then just a handful of bits in between. I watched on delay so I could fast forward past most of the other stuff which has always been boring to me.

I’ve never read the books so that would make sense. I thought it was incredibly directed with musical scores and everything, but yeah that would be frustrating if it veers way too far off course.

Have you watched the Max prophecy show? I’ve found it incredibly boring but imagine it’s much closer to the books.

I'll reply to this in the Dune thread in Media Center.

Oscars so white. Things have definitely changed.
