Can't wait for those Hollywood woke idiots to create a man-only category and kick out women in the name of equality. It's hilarious. Maybe then they will learn something?
Just remember that Best Actress category exists since the creation of Oscars. Even back in 1929 they respected women.
To understand how "gender neutral categories" work at the Oscars - just look at Directing and Screenplay categories. Men win them like 95% of time.
So instead of women having 10 nominations in Best and Supporting and 2 Oscar wins every year - they will start getting like 3-4 nominations and zero wins. And men will have 6 nominations and 2 wins.
Of course woke idiots and press will whine, scream and demand for women to be presented more. Like they do with Directing category. But voting is anonymous and when Oscar CEO will count the numbers - male actors will have majority of votes. And then male actors will win.
Acting categories will look like:
Best Actor
Bradley Cooper
Paul Giamatti
Nicole Kidman
Emma Stone
Denzel Washington
Best Supporting Actor
Colin Farrell
Andrew Garfield
Colman Domingo
Benedict Cumberbatch
Annette Bening
With Bradley Cooper and Colman Domingo winning
I liked this one the most. With Expanse i was bored a lot and did not like characters.
It was sad when this one was cancelled.
Many bad movies got money by the way.
The Curse is boring crap. It was ignored by everyone. They promoted it a little like they have to. And then it was forgotten the moment it came out. There was no hype, nothing. Because no one watched it. Same with Maniac.
I like "watchable movies". I don't care if it's blockbuster or low budget. If movie is interesting to watch - I will watch it.
I used to try to watch all those awardsy movies that they pushed so hard during awards season. To be "in the game" when awards happen and to root for some. And then I stopped torturing myself with watching all that boring crap.
I watch movies when I see trailer and I'm interested in what is happening. I watch trailers of those Emma Stone movies and tv shows and have zero desire to watch it. That's why I call them unwatchable. I did give it a try and started watching that Manic show with Jonah Hill and then The Curse. I could not get past 1-2 episodes. So boring it was.
Many people still don't know how box-office works and think that studio gets all those Worldwide grosses. Not knowing that in countries that is not USA and Canada studio gets only 50% of grosses. Other 50% take local theaters. China gives away only 1/3 of grosses. So out of those 83 millions overseas - studio got only around 40 mill. Plus 34 in USA = 74 millions pure grosses.
And add that they all spend millions on promotion. They could easily spend like 50 millions promoting movie. All those dresses, premiers, interviews, flying actors around during awards season... Studio pays for it. Emma Stone is not flying for her own money in UK or Australia to promote movie. Studio hires private planes or pays first class.
In the end movie probably broke even. It didn't flop. It also wasn't huge success.
You just don't know how box-office works.
It made 34 millions in USA. On a budget of 35 millions. And only because it was conctantly hyped during awards season.
Other Lanthimos movies are count as success only because he manages somehow to shoot them on incredible low budget.
The Favorite has budget of 15 millions
Kinds of Kindness has budget of 15 millions
Lobster is $4 million
Actors are probably working for free or few thousands because they want awards.
Never. She knows her place. She is C-lister washed up actress of 42 years old. Whose star days were 15 years ago. Now she has to produce herself tv shows to give herself job. Because she can't find job otherwise.
He is still A-list singer. And rich one.
She would be long time forgotten if not being married to A-lister. Not to mention 2 small kids. So she will tolerate all his infidelities and screw ups.
That's why I could never take seriously those Mad Max movies and Waterworld etc.
When it's obviously barbarian societies. With no food and gasoline resources. And those people have been in that barbarian stage for a long time. Which means they do not go to school, no one teaches them something. And you have to be smart and have knowledge how to make gasoline, how to repare things.
Yet all bad and good guys have unlimited source of gasoline to ride their adventures. No one ever eats and needs eating.
No one usually needs to drink water in the freaking desert.
While we saw in many apocalyptic shows that gasoline is the main problem people have when everything collapses. And eventually when show is long enough then we see how in few years characters start riding horses because of lack of gasoline. But in Mad Max they have working cars and bikes decades after collapse.
Again, if you will watch those festival and awardsy movies - it will not make you smarter. You keep thinking you are smart and deep because you "watch a Tarkovsky movie" or watch Yorgos Lanthimos movie.
You keep mentioning brain as you really think you are superior because you watch them. That is the most funny thing.
He was drunk as hell. He knew numbers would be over the roof.
Because it's funny. Because people don't like JT and glad he screw up.
The watchable ones. The ones you can watch and not torture yourself with boredom because they are "artsy fartsy" and you think it will make you smart and deep watching them.
While if you will be given task with watching 10 movies half of which would be awardsy and half some crap that got no recognition. And you would never be able to tell which are awardsy and which is crap. But when press tells you: "This is Depp Movie" - you believe it. You sit and watch it and be like: "Yeah, that's deep!"
It's very funny. They way people like you actually believe it's makes you deep and smart by watching those awardsy movies. And you attack people who laugh at them. From position of Superiority you believe you have. After all - you watch Deep Movies. You Use Your Brain!!! LOL.
I don't know. Looks pretensions and boring. I could barely finish the trailer. What is the plot?
They try to pretend is about murder. While whole trailer is some flashy scenes and looks like it's more about Portman's character being bored with her suburban life a-la Revolutionary Road. So she runs around and throws hysterics.
And Moses Ingram is playing again her character from Obi Wan that everyone hated. She really is a weak actress. She has exactly one face expression - like she despises everyone for nor reason.
Portman is playing herself again too. I like murder mysteries. But it looks boring and like it will not be about investigation. But more about "feelings" or Portman and Ingram's characters.
No. I mean artsy fartsy movies that are being made only to stroke the ego of fartsy director. And then they usually make no money because they are boring and unwatchable.
No, hon, if you will watch those festival and awardsy movies - it will not make you smarter. And it does not mean you are smart and deep. LOL.
What was that even about?
I call them - Unwatchable Movies.
She used to do movies that you can watch. And then she started doing those Artsy Fartsy movies that look so boring and such nonsense that I cant' even finish trailer. I tried to watch that tv show The Curse. Thinking maybe it's some weird comedy. But gave up in second episode I think. It was unwatchable snooze fest. So boring.
Oh well at least she get those stupid awards for them.
I kinda miss her in normal movies. her popularity went away fast. Same with Jennifer Lawrence. If you don't do movies that people actually watch for few years - you are forgotten.
He is not capable to accept anything. He is sociopath. Whatever he says is for public because he wants to be un-cancelled. Since MeToo is very obvious dying out fast and those cancelled perverts return to work. Armie Hammer surfaced from the rat hole he was hiding in. Azi Anzari and Louis C. K. are doing stand ups and Netflix.
In his mind he did nothing wrong. Like Chris Noth and every pushy womanazier boy - they all thought they were flirting. And they don't understand why suddenly all those people show up and complain.
Kevin Spacey thinks he was flirting with those men. And were playful and fun.
Like when man slaps the butt of waiters in cafe - for him it's nothing. "Whatever, she was pretty, it was a compliment. Why is she upset and police is here?". But when man will slap his butt in same way - he will go and punch him.
But I can guarantee that if some old ugly man Spacey has no interest in - will start putting hand on his groin and demand going out - he will not like it and be like: "Get out of me, old man". Same with Chris Noth and others. Like if some gay producer or person in power would do the same hunting Chris Noth did on women - he would be angered and feel violated. But when they do that - they think that everyone should be blessed and like that celebrity pays attention to them.
With Spacey I don't hear him apologizing to all his victims. That's the first sigh of all of this being fake. He had 7 years to have his defense work out. All he did is: "I'm soovvy. I will never behave like this again. Can we all move on?".
It's interesting that none of the Bridgerton actors actually became stars. It's been 4 years since it came.
I looked up that girl who was lead in season one next to this Rege Jan guy. And her face is all over trailer. Phoebe Dynevor. Nothing interesting she did after Bridgerton.
Then it was another lady all over trailer and promotion in season 2. Simone Ashley. And nothing again.
Shows that people like Bridgerton tv show and that whole aura. And don't care about actors. They change main actors every season and no one misses them.
What did David Caruso do? I only know him from from CSI Miami.
Everyone knows it's a flop. So they put in on Flop Month to quietly bury.
Should have put in in the late autumn and pretend it an "awards movie".
I thought whole movie that she was some 15 years old child too. And was surprised they took a child with them on that dangerous journey.
But actress Cailee Spaeny is actually 25 years old! Was probably 24 when filming. Her height is 5′ 1″ (1.55 m). She is smaller than average woman and that's why brain thinks she must be child. Same with Jenn Ortega. I thought she was like 13 in Wednesday and was confused why she was hanging out with guys who looked like 25.
Same with Ariana Grande. Someone said about her - she will be 30 and still look 12.
