I've seen all of the BP noms except The Favourite, Green Book and Roma, and ASIB is my least favorite by a reasonable margin so far.


worse than bohemian rhapsody? i haven't seen either film but after seeing the infamous "bad editing" scene i can't imagine it being anything but terrible.

i might see green book sometime btw.


Sorry for my late response! I actually enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody quite a bit - a 4/5 for me. Rami Malek absolutely sells the film, it's a remarkably magnetic performance start to finish. He is also backed by a game supporting cast, which helps the film rise above the occasional cliche or "on-the-nose" moments of dialogue.

Black Panther is my favorite of the BP nominees I have seen thus far, though.

Haven't seen most of those, and of the ones I have seen it has been too long.

Not as good as The Avengers, Ragnarok, or Infinity War.

absolutely

I think it was a handful of factors. Bryan Singer's controversy being the biggest one, but there were also some fair criticisms of the film that people really doubled down on when it started gathering nominations.

I was actually reading a 1 Star review of Bohemian Rhapsody that essentially came down to "I liked the movie, then saw the controversy over it, and now I don't like the movie."

I should have been clearer but I meant Black Panther and just assumed everyone would and went to bed.

I just feel more folk soured on that (at least here) than BR.

Fisherman's Friends delivered. Don't think Board 8 would "get it" (a bunch of a fisherman based in Cornwall forming a singing group doesn't exactly scream "Must see", tbf) on a whole but fuck it, *I* enjoyed it. Laughs and some real heart in there. I think part of it is due to liking Daniel Mays (who was brilliant as Ronnie Biggs in the TV-miniseries Mrs Biggs based around his Mrs Charmian, played by Sheridan Smith, who is basically ITV's Golden Girl/MVP at the minute)

I saw Raging Bull for the first time yesterday. I can definitely see how this film is so highly-regarded, but I wouldn't say it's one of my favourite movies or anything. On a scale from 1-10 I give this movie an 8, but very close to a 9.

Ugh, I hate Content ID. My video on Ratatouille naturally got immediately blocked, so I have to wait for Disney to let it through. They let my Lion King video go through without a fight, so I'm sure this one will be fine once they get around to it...but I want a regular schedule.

Really, I should just let this one be late and establish a buffer period. Have a few episodes ready so it's fine if one has to go through this system. Since they have to respond within a month, being three episodes ahead would be a good goal.

Just saw Five Feet Apart and I have a lot of praise for it

The foreshadowing is abundant, however it is never forced down your throat. They handled that extremely well. The cliches I would say are not high up either. The story drags you in, it made me tear up several times and not just for sadness or romance itself, its just the notes in which they tell it and the gestures made.

Also Cole Sprouse is fantastic. The roles he plays are so suited to him or he just plays them very well and I have no doubt in my mind that his 'look' will be an iconic look coming up. He plays tension off very well, be it sexual or otherwise. I feel like his success with riverdale is going to boost him to really great things and I feel he is an actor now that will be a draw and attraction for me to want to see his movies

The Dirt is trying to be like 24 Hour Party people and ends up being Bohemian Rhapsody with significantly worse music.

It's almost incredible that a film so stupid could exist. It's not like it's idiotic by accident or unintentionally either. It aggressively leans into it.
