It was bad enough when the Queen Biopic was all over this thing, this was even worse.

Yesmar_ 01/24/23 7:06:33 PM #60:	Yeah, that's puzzling. There's something to be said about the value of good narrative construction even in a big popcorn movie that doesn't have sparkling dialogue, and I think this is an underrated aspect when people judge writing. I wouldn't begrudge a screenplay nom for Avatar or Black Panther for instance. There's just nothing to Top Gun's story though. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!

I wouldn't begrudge a screenplay nom for Avatar or Black Panther for instance. There's just nothing to Top Gun's story though. I mean that's what really gets me right, it's not that I have contempt for good writing in popular films, it's that Top Gun has bad writing in a popular film in my opinion but it's treated as something that's worthy of being called "real cinema" when you have these same people decrying stuff like superhero movies which are just the same shit but better, and it makes me roll my eyes out of my head at the pretentiousness of it all. Top Gun's a perfectly serviceable popcorn flick with some really great action in it, but aside from the true movie magic that's found in its cinematography (again, the thing it WASN'T nominated for) it's just the same old shit as the MCU or whatever, except worse in just about every way I can imagine <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:971071880] in Oscar Nomi...

LightningStrikes 01/24/23 7:43:32 PM #63:	I dont decry Marvel films for screenplay and I also get why Top Gun is there. Strong character-driven blockbuster, BP nominee, not much competition as it was a very original-heavy year. What replaces it? Avatars script got more criticism than Top Guns for sure. Setting that to one side, what else, Wakanda Forever? Not really seeing it. Of course if you rank the nominees it is definitely in fifth place but it makes sense as to why its there. Now should it have gotten Cinematography over Screenplay? Absolutely. Cinematography was the one wacky category this year though. I can think of three big snubs with that, Nope and The Batman. No idea what wins now. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc <cite>LightningStrikes posted [p:971072534] in Oscar Nomi...

LightningStrikes 01/25/23 6:24:44 AM #78:	Yes while the British Isles is a geographic term dating back to the Romans it is not legally recognised anywhere (both UK and Irish law just say these islands) and for the last few hundred years has a lot of colonial implications which means that Irish people definitely do not identify with it. Martin McDonagh himself is both British and Irish though, and the film is a UK/Ireland co-production, so the British side of the industry is still going hard for it. Although with that said they are also going hard for All Quiet on the Western Front which got 14 BAFTA nominations so its not just about nationality. --- I just decided to change this sig.

Felt it lost some of its thematic weight at that point.</quote>Yeah I agree with this. Once, uh, permanent choices were made I felt like the movie turned a corner that I wasn't really comfortable with which damaged the theme imho.

It also ties into the analogy of the Irish Civil War, where you had people who had just until months ago been on the same side suddenly killing each other for no real gain or even much point to the conflict. That was a permanent harm that created a societal and political split that still exists in Ireland to this day. --- I just decided to change this sig.

masterplum 01/30/23 8:46:39 AM #92:	I also will say my other biggest issue with banshees is it was extremely hard to understand. I liked that it didn't spell out the allegory or plot, but the language itself was hard to parse. The combination of extreme accents and regional dialect led me to rewinding a few times trying to understand what was just said. I actually completely missed ~~The molestation~~ because it was spoken about in regional euphemism. My spouse had to point it out to me. I don't think that is a knock against the movie in general, but it made it less enjoyable to watch. (I could have put on subtitles but I just hate when subtitles describe non verbal sounds. It throws me off) --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdWiElvIQAAQpBt.jpg <cite>masterplum posted [p:971203384] in Oscar Nomi...
