Movies: Poor Things, Barbie and Oppenheimer are stuck in La La Land

Just watched it and.... woooooowwwwww. I've heard stories from reporters/photo journalists and this movie nailed it. To get the shot, be part of the action, to not "interfere," and get out of the way of your own head. Wow.

The Jesse Plemons scene was way more tense than the trailer even let on. The absolue cold-bloodedness in his delivery.

Also, sooooooo weird hearing actual gunfire not audio-mixed to "sound powerful" nor was it drowned out by music. It stood on its own in an unnerving way.

What a good film.

I was deeply unsettled for days after seeing it.

I jumped a few times at the abrupt gunfire.

If Plemons isn't nominated for an Oscar it's going to be criminal. Same with Dunst. She absolutely nailed the performance and the character arc.


The wildfire scene offering gorgeous escapism and then *bam* right back into it. Ahhh. The whole movie was so good. Very disturbing, but so good.

I think more people should watch it. But in particular, the militia and the larpers

i like a lot of a24; midsommar is one of my favorite movies of all time. But even that didn’t feel as…devastating or horrific as civil war

much easier to watch Jesse and Kirsten bumble around on Fargo!
 
Joanne Woodward won Best Actress for Three Face of Eve in 1958. She's still alive. Holding an Oscar for 66 years surely isn't the record (it's probably held by De Haviland or Fontaine), but it's probably starting to get up there.

Edit:

All-time

84 Luise Rainer, 1910-1930-2014.
81 Olivia de Haviland, 1916-1939-2020.
72 Joan Fontaine, 1917-1941-2013.

Alive

79 Anne Blyth, 1928-1945-
70 Eva Marie Saint, 1924-1954-
67 Terry Moore, 1929-1957-
66 Joanne Woodward, 1930-1958-


Good bless Anne Blyth. I should go back and watch Mildred Pierce now.

In case you wondered what happens if you survive 75 years as an Oscar winner.

8 o'clock tonight on TCM.
 
Give a day or two and he will defend it saying the film is actually a stinging satirical masterpiece on the American Consumerism and that Johnny Knoxville is a modern day Harold Lloyd or Buster Keaton!

Then he will say the series went of the rails in the sequels because they are shameless money grabs!

:rolleyes::p
 
I mean, the toy car up the *** x-ray scene is certainly worth preservation for future generations.

Watched LA Confidential last night for the first time.

For someone with severe inattentive ADHD, I couldn't even walk away until it ended.
 
And even that would have killed him...methane would have choked him to death.

(Still love the film)
 
I finally watched Oppenheimer. Took me a little while to get into it, but once I did, I really enjoyed it.

I still haven't watched Barbie, yet.
