    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    I think the last line is the crux of the debate though. People aren’t choosing to nominate F1 because it was the best picture of the year, they’re doing it to recognize it was a good commercial film. There are now 10 nominees and only one can win so who really cares if F1 gets a slot so the non...

    Aren’t the nominees selected by the same academy members who vote? Seems they’re plenty passionate.

    Not to be the F1 white knight but I completely disagree about the passion of it. The backstory to Kosinski and Bruckheimer and Pitt working tirelessly to get the movie made with the support and endorsement of F1, the globe trotting, the technical wizardry of the filmmaking. This is a passion...

    That’s fine, I don’t really agree but that’s subjective. The bigger issue that going “it shouldn’t be nominated over x” film is a pretty reductive and pointless argument unless you’re comparing it to its contemporaries. It’s not keeping out some indie arthouse daring piece of film making, it’s...

    What does “worthy” mean? It’s a completely subjective art form and F1 is if nothing else an innovation and technical wonder. To be clear I don’t think it should be nominated as one of the best 5 or 10 films of the year but I also think you can’t compare it that way. This nom is more an...

    Yeh absolutely they are. The veiwership has been badly waning and they copped a lot of shit for not nomming the dark knight. Expanded the catagorey to up to 10 and basically gave a commercial nod to movies that are no chance of winning but were commercially successful. It’s just a modern Oscar’s...

    To be fair to F1 expanding the catagorey to 10 pictures was almost exclusively done to give movies like F1 a nom and increase viewership. It’s not really stealing a nom spot from anyone because if you don’t nom it we go back to 5 anyway. It’s the Dark Knight, Top Gun Maverick spot (same...

    Tarryn Manning was like ALMOST a movie star at one point. Also that directors name is Coke… wild stuff

    The Rip Story and production wise this is a pretty by the numbers action/thriller but it’s elevated a lot from Damon, Affleck, Yuen, Taylor and Sasha Calle. Especially the effortless natural chemistry between Damon and Affleck. It wouldn’t have been a wildly expensive production and frankly...

    Eeesh, Fincher movie with Downey Jr, Ruffalo, Jake and a host of others. It’s a slow burn but boring feels rough.

    Dumbo Christ this is a short movie. Gotta be like an hour long by the time the titles credits and end credits are taken out. This one has more racial stereotypes (especially American ones) than the previous two (although Pinocchio might have some 40s Italian stuff that went over my head)...

    There was a real art to trailers once upon a time. It’s now all algorithmed out to ensure max engagement across the quadrants. Sucks a bit, I used to love watching trailers
