Didn't this win an oscar?
Also, basically all Oscar bait are failures since all oscar bait is pure shit
The real questions should be are there any oscar baits that are actually good?
The problem here is calling every single movie that wins an Oscar or is a serious drama "Oscar bait", which is far too broad and reductive. Oscar bait is supposed to refer to a specific set of identifiers of a type of film. Not just every single movie that isn't an action film or a kids film.
The most stereotypical, Weinstein Company/Miramax level of aiming at Oscars to put on your resume and push a major campaign on the voters will have some majority of >Biopic of inspirational or controversial figure >Period setting >Actor playing a character or real life person with a physical disability or mental illness, or some distinguishing gimmick like being made to look ugly, or be gay, etc >Weepy drama with loud acting moments >Dealing broadly with some topic like racism or abuse or sexism >The Holocaust >Released in last two months of the year >Heavily advertised to the Oscar voting crowd
It was a make-up win for the academy snubbing Fargo

Which in turn led to There Will Be Blood being snubbed but The Master was anti-scientologist and too many oscar voters are scientologists. And then Inherent Vice was a stoner comedy that could never win best picture. And then Phantom Thread had a controversial ending and the academy wanted to give an oscar to Del Taco for making a film about a woman who fricks a fish. And then they obviously weren't going to give it to PTA for making a coming of age teen comedy about a teenager who falls in love with a 25 yo mess.
And now they've probably forgotten that they owe him an oscar anyway
I tend to not care for biopics unless they are doing something interesting with the subject, too many are just template with a different wikipedia page being used. It's hard to actually capture a long career or life so I like when they take an original approach more about the feeling than the broad events catalogued.
See >Bohemian Rhapsody
vs >Rocket Man
How is boyhood decent outside of the fact it took 12 years to film?
King's Speech was incredibly generic but I guess that fits as being decent since it wasn't horrible but certainly wasn't good
Smith was so bad with this >Seven Pounds >Ali >Concussion >The Pursuit of Happyness >Collateral Beauty
Eventually it worked with surprise surprise, a biopic in King Richard.
That was definitely one of those "thanks for being a big name for a long time and stuff" career awards right? It was like nothing, the King Richard role. It didn't really call for a particularly distinct performance and I can't say as I saw him as Richard Williams, just Will Smith.
>Clint in full gib Oscar I'm DIRECTING mode >Leo in full gib Oscar I'm ACTING mode >Biopic of controversial figure >Shit reviews >Not a single nomination >Not zero wins, zero nominations.
What a botch job.
I never saw this movie but saw it was slammed by critics - to anyone who saw this, what made it so bad? Cheesy? Too on-the-nose? Bad acting? Bad writing? All of the above and more?
They're still pushing this garbage on us but luckily no one gives a frick anymore and the movies are bombing. Last year alone we had Fabelmans, Babylon, and Empire of Light. All trash
They're more cynical now. Fabelmans was a more cynical film than I expected (though not exactly about cinema, more about his life/family and also his relationship to cinema), and Babylon is cynical, while being massively indulgent.

I agree I loved it too, but looking back at it it is pretty simplistic and unreal compared to if it was made today
If it were made today the white cop would be 100% villainous rather than a mix of horrible/heroic. The Black folk would all be intelligent and amazing, with no flaws whatsoever. I haven’t seen Crash in a long time but I don’t remember what was “unrealistic” or “silly” about it.

Picture this: it's a busy office setting with people buzzing around, typing on their computers, and talking on the phone. The Black person is sitting at his desk with a puzzled expression on his face.
Now, in the background, you can see a whiteboard with some complex equations written on it. The Black person, with his signature absent-mindedness, starts staring at the board intently, trying to make sense of it all. He's squinting, scratching his head, and occasionally pointing at random numbers and symbols.
Here's where it gets really funny. His colleague, who is known for being a bit of a smarty-pants, walks by and notices the Black person's struggle. They stop, and the smarty-pants colleague decides to have a little fun. With a straight face, they ask the Black person, "Hey, what are you working on there?"
The Black person, still completely lost in the sea of equations, looks up and replies, "Oh, I'm just trying to figure out the meaning of life." He says it so confidently, as if solving the meaning of life is a normal task to undertake during office hours.
The smarty-pants colleague can't help but chuckle, clearly thinking, "Wow, this guy really doesn't have a clue." They play along and say, "Good luck with that! Let me know if you crack the code."
The Black person nods, still completely oblivious to the fact that his response was a bit unconventional. The camera zooms out, showing the contrast between the busy and serious atmosphere of the office and the Black person's hilarious attempt at tackling life's biggest questions.
It's a light-hearted moment that captures the essence of the Black person's character, showcasing his endearing naivety and adding a touch of comedy to the film. You can't help but laugh at his obliviousness, but at the same time, you can't help but root for him.

your implication that if it were made with the black or female gayz would somehow make it more realistic or free it of bias is ridiculous.
I can't believe it worked. Brokeback Mountain should have won that year and Crash should be long forgotten. Instead it's the go-to "Shit BP winner" comparison.
The scene where Matt Dillon explain how his dad is not getting job for being white is so fricking cringe. Also, why they portrayed every black as a moron here?
Also as bland as Green Book is I still don’t consider it the most embarrassing BP winner of the last decade when the year before the academy rewarded a film where a woman fricks a fish
You’re moronic, but so is that movie. Such obvious nonsense. I remember watching this in school and the one girl is all, “since when is Persian Arab?!” and I go, “since 1970, when Islamic rebels took over the embassy in Iran. Don’t play coy and pretend that your specific regional origin is the problem and not your barbaric religion”
The teacher wasn’t thrilled but appreciated I knew history.
Saw this recently. It’s like a film student made a list of elements that make a heartwarming story and turned each point into a scene. Very forced, hallmark shit
Netflix's first attempt to break into "real cinema". A solid movie though nothing special, but it got pretty ignored in the end, Oscars were still firmly against films on streaming platforms.
It's good because it was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who is actually a really competent director who happens to work in a lot of random shit for some reason, like a modern day Soderbergh.
This film is a fricking masterpiece though.
It was snubbed because it was netflix back when Hollywood was refusing to accept streaming as a legitimate medium.
It's like the exact opposite of oscar b8 because it actually takes risks and does a bunch of shit that hollywood was way too scared to do (back then at least). >all black cast >set in africa >no white saviour, no racism tropes overshadowing the story >about very violent child soldiers raping and being raped
I know it probably won all the burger awards but it is funny to me how in every corner of the planet people see this as an accidental comedy of how self-centered and delusional americans are.
You have no idea how big this country is do you?
You're basing the entire country on 1/50th of it, and it's the 1/50th that no other state has any respect for. You're judging a house by its septic tank.
I think that one is really good, and one of Eastwood's best films after the 2000s. It makes a really good job portraying the basis of american ethos, but a lot of moronic libs mistook it for "militar propaganda" just for having the main character enlisting in the marines (eventhough in the film it's obviously a bad thing and just lefts him braindamaged). Of course it was islamophobic but what were they expecting? It's fricking Clint Eastwood, he's still a moronic republican
I love it when obsessed non-Americans come into a thread, don't follow what the thread is supposed to be about, and just post about their own seething at America.
It's more amusing seeing the Amerigays coping and seething over the fact that someone on the world dares to even consider America as the shithole that it really is.

Wait, so are Americans black or are they Indians? Your posts are getting a bit confused. Are you just saying random insults until something sticks? I hope your mother comes by soon. You really need your afternoon nap to calm this temper tantrum down.
You got pleb-filtered by a Clint Eastwood movie? Seriously? It's not jingoistic, pro-military or whatever else idiots who had an axe to grind accused it of being.
The frick are you talking about it totally is, why the frick would you even make a movie about a piece of shit like Chris Kyle in the first place, he was just another meathead who enjoyed killing people and expeced your thanks and undying gratitude over it. He was the living human example of everything wrong with the military industrial complex. >b-b-but clint easteood bro!!!!!
Ok? He can make a shitty movie, Mel's done it too.
The film is about the man you homosexual, what mindset do you have to be in to think he's a hero of any sort and make an entire goddamn movie fellating him? A jingoistic one, there's no other way to look at it. It's Clint jacking off about how great America is using one of America's worst fricking decisions in recent history, that being diving headfirst into the War on Terror because "BAWWWWWW THE TOWERSSS" and cheney wanted oil.
>The film is about the man
Ok...a movie being about someone = "fellating" them? >It's Clint jacking off about how great America is

Yeah no. Most importantly at no point in the movie does the war get questioned. Let alone wars in general. Or even the topic of when and why to fight gets opened. This is military porn and the ptsd subplot is just to vindicate soldiers after the war itself was shown to be futile.
And I'm pretty sure the army rejected his claim for the shot distance.

NTA but >Adam Driver being too held back while Gaga is too over the top >Al Pacino hamming it up like he's in an Adam Sandler comedy >Jared Leto in a terrible fat suit and bald cap doing an italian accent so bad it should be considered a hate crime
Also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O38-IuOmExU
I really don't get why you guys hate this, I liked it. Muh overacting isn't a valid reason save for maybe Leto and even then he was more fun than annoying.
The fact is that american sniper is not even a patriotic movie.I'm not from the US and I can clearly see the critique of how believing on such moronic principles leads them to fight in a stupid war that only benefits a few millionaries while they end up with severe mental illness
The real fact is that the movie isn't even relevant to the thread. It was not failed Oscar bait. And he probably just saw it recently, needed to vent that he saw Americans in a movie he didn't like, and picked the first thread he saw. That, or his grasp of the English language is so poor that he didn't even realize that he picked a movie that didn't fit the OP.
>schizo-gay talks about himself in third person as if he wasn't having a discussion with himself over a boring Clint Eastwood flick a couple minutes ago
The King's Speech is actually really comfy.
Spencer was alright. Kinda bland and empty, but it definitely had its moments. I suppose it felt pretty pointless but whatever.
The Queen was alright. Worth a watch.
homies want to be famous just like the other Black folk they see on TV (ex. Jay Z, Lebron James).
It was a title issue >The film's title was up for a possible rename due to a Motion Picture Association claim from Warner Bros., which had inherited from the defunct Lubin Company a now-lost 1916 silent short film with the same name. The case was subsequently resolved with the MPAA granting The Weinstein Company permission to add Lee Daniels in front of the title, under the condition that his name was "75% the size of The Butler". On July 23, 2013, the distributor unveiled a revised poster, displaying the title as Lee Daniels' The Butler.
I think it's hilarious how the academy jerks him off because he went from making dumb Will Ferrell comedies to political Oscar bait. In fact I find it funny how silly genre films that 10 years ago would justifiably be ignored by the Academy are now propped up as masterpieces if they check the right boxes (i.e. any political comedy from McKay, "Get Out", etc.)
Frick, even "Don't Look Up" got a Best Pic and Screenplay noms despite not being well-received. It makes one wonder how many dicks McKay's sucked during his time in Hollywood.
nope, great film. i too believed the chuds saying it was bad, until i watched it for myself and realized the chuds were just afraid of it exposing them.

why do zoomers see racism and 'y pipo gaze' on everything?
>why do zoomers see racism and 'y pipo gaze' on everything?
because it is there to see. Also im genX
>Also im genX
the only thing I see there is the subconscious desire to frick white men from a third generation Vietnamese immigrant concealed as 'wokeness'. don't worry, sweetie, I bet your yellow boypussy is soft and tight and good enough for BWC
My god that projection
you're just some chink twink who wants to every each of his holes filled with powerful white men's cum. you can't trick anybody with your "wokeness".
Mental illness
that's just your brain on /misc/ and autism
mental illness is being a repressed homosexual who has to conceal his strong craving for white wiener; a fragile man who can merely fantasize about feeling a 10 inch white wiener sliding up his butthole whlist a pair of strong white hands clench his buttocks and lift his tiny body.
You are really thirsty for some wiener anon
and you're thirsty for litters of the white man's syrup flowing down your throat and filling your belly and the innermost nooks and crannies of your soul. you and your vivid homosexual fantasies disgust me deeply. i pity you.
What's wrong with you? Were you raped as a child?
perhaps, but that's besides the point. the topic on hand here is your homosexual appetites that can only be quench by white wiener.
dude pol has rotted your brain;
>baked in racism
What does that even mean? Is it not allowed to portray Black folk as gang-banging thugs? Is it not "realistic"?
your implication that if it were made with the black or female gayz would somehow make it more realistic or free it of bias is ridiculous.
I can't believe it worked. Brokeback Mountain should have won that year and Crash should be long forgotten. Instead it's the go-to "Shit BP winner" comparison.
The scene where Matt Dillon explain how his dad is not getting job for being white is so fricking cringe. Also, why they portrayed every black as a moron here?
Libs like to infantilize black people
>because of her imaginary bulletproof vest.
no wonder you hate it. You are literally too stupid to understand it
>mistaking blanks for actual bullets
the real plot point is just as moronic
The opposite just happened on The Alec Baldwin movie, its become more believable with time.
It's better than Green Book.
Green Book was such a nothing movie but it was massively carried by Viggo, to the point I'd say it's worth a watch just for him.
At least Black Panther didn’t win that year.
Also as bland as Green Book is I still don’t consider it the most embarrassing BP winner of the last decade when the year before the academy rewarded a film where a woman fricks a fish
You’re moronic, but so is that movie. Such obvious nonsense. I remember watching this in school and the one girl is all, “since when is Persian Arab?!” and I go, “since 1970, when Islamic rebels took over the embassy in Iran. Don’t play coy and pretend that your specific regional origin is the problem and not your barbaric religion”
The teacher wasn’t thrilled but appreciated I knew history.
lol
me get fat, me get oscar
not oscar, cholesterol, please listen, Mr. Leto, this is important
Has RDJ made one good movie since he became Iron Man?
so far not, will see of Openheimmer changes that
Tropic Thunder
Is it just me or has Oscar Bait fallen in quality ever since Harvey left the game?
It's about the same, the only difference is he's no longer front and center shoving his studio's bait pics down everyone's throats
Saw this recently. It’s like a film student made a list of elements that make a heartwarming story and turned each point into a scene. Very forced, hallmark shit
>Shia LaBeouf
Oscarbait already
yeah the people making Peanut Butter Falcon were totally shooting for oscar noms
I have no idea who made it, but it’s got all the marks of one
Its oscar bait and schlocky but i liked it. Im a sucker for sad moron movies because i am one
I am reminded of Shia talking about the moron telling him he was ruining his shot at a career in a diner lmao
this movie is so embarrasing
more like the painted turd eh?
Netflix's first attempt to break into "real cinema". A solid movie though nothing special, but it got pretty ignored in the end, Oscars were still firmly against films on streaming platforms.
It's good because it was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who is actually a really competent director who happens to work in a lot of random shit for some reason, like a modern day Soderbergh.
beasts was one of the best films i've ever seen. I love that film. The ending is absolute pure kino
>beasts was one of the best films i've ever seen.
You haven't seen a lot.
>You haven't seen a lot.
i've seen literally everything, Apocalypse Now was my favorite film at 12 years old.
And Beasts of No Nations is one of the best things you've seen? Then you just have shit taste.
>And Beasts of No Nations is one of the best things you've seen?
its great frick you
What's so bad about Beasts of No Nation? Not one of my favorite movie's of all time, but it was great. Are you homosexual?
This film is a fricking masterpiece though.
It was snubbed because it was netflix back when Hollywood was refusing to accept streaming as a legitimate medium.
It's like the exact opposite of oscar b8 because it actually takes risks and does a bunch of shit that hollywood was way too scared to do (back then at least).
>all black cast
>set in africa
>no white saviour, no racism tropes overshadowing the story
>about very violent child soldiers raping and being raped
excellent film
This is actually a really good movie even though it was Oscar bait
>Having a woman play a trans woman
What the frick how is this not cancelled?
>2005
People didn't go crazy until 2015
>having a trans woman play a trans woman
Transwomen are women so it's all the same or whatever. The movie is about nothing actually.
Failed at Oscar bait. But it allowed me to shake Clint's hand after he was leaving the set in Virginia.
This LOOKS like a biopic but it's actually an original drama with some fantasy, and a good one
If you haven't seen this .... its hilarious
I know it probably won all the burger awards but it is funny to me how in every corner of the planet people see this as an accidental comedy of how self-centered and delusional americans are.
This is failed oscar bait thread, not the seethe about american superiority thread.
>seethe about american superiority
Can't seethe about something that doesn't exists.
>you'll never be white
Are you okay? Do you need your diaper changed? Someone is a bit grumpy.
The planet's round, you fricking thirdworlder.
>fricking thirdworlder.
America is basically third-world.
California seceded and is effectively a third-world nation state.
>uhm... actually, California ain't part of America any more
Keep coping, amerimutt. You live in a shithole.
You have no idea how big this country is do you?
You're basing the entire country on 1/50th of it, and it's the 1/50th that no other state has any respect for. You're judging a house by its septic tank.
you'll never be white.
I think that one is really good, and one of Eastwood's best films after the 2000s. It makes a really good job portraying the basis of american ethos, but a lot of moronic libs mistook it for "militar propaganda" just for having the main character enlisting in the marines (eventhough in the film it's obviously a bad thing and just lefts him braindamaged). Of course it was islamophobic but what were they expecting? It's fricking Clint Eastwood, he's still a moronic republican
I love it when obsessed non-Americans come into a thread, don't follow what the thread is supposed to be about, and just post about their own seething at America.
It's more amusing seeing the Amerigays coping and seething over the fact that someone on the world dares to even consider America as the shithole that it really is.
Wait, who am I kidding? You don't know what a septic tank is lmao
I'm not
The American educational system at all his glory lmao
Go die on a drive-by shooting, Tyrone.
>go die on a drive-by shooting
>on
Sorry, I'll write it on ebonics for you:
Yo, mah homie, u is gonna get smoked if u keep wit that shit, uknowwathimsayin'? U homie be tripping on dis shit fr, homie.
Anon, that isn't how you use the world "on"
Learn English; you're being embarrassing.
>tries to lecture other people about the use of prepositions
>uses prepositions wrong
why do african-americans always act so uppity even when they're obviously wrong? is it due to socio-economic factors? how would you feel if you haven't had breakfast this morning?
You fricked up, moron. I'll talk like a moron in an attempt to get through to you.
You don't speak English good.
You shouldn't be in an English-speaking website.
>my sister very tight and gentle
>make frick in her pussy, white man
go to therapy anon
Cracker be whistlin
>White "humor"
>shitskin seething
You can't expect better, their daily diet consists of doritos and monster
>t.
Wait, so are Americans black or are they Indians? Your posts are getting a bit confused. Are you just saying random insults until something sticks? I hope your mother comes by soon. You really need your afternoon nap to calm this temper tantrum down.
>It's more amusing... (incoherent babble)
How is this related to failed Oscar bait?
>(incoherent babble)
That was plain English, Raj. You should try to learn it before posting here.
>(incoherent babble again)
Is something wrong? Is it nap time? Maybe once you wake up you can post on-topic.
>Good morning, good sirs! Can us please continue speaking on the topic on hand, please? Thank you for kindness!
What's wrong, anon? You forgot to add that to your original post and needed to samegay? Someone sure is grumpy.
kek at all the assblasted americans
movie is shitty good goy propaganda
You got pleb-filtered by a Clint Eastwood movie? Seriously? It's not jingoistic, pro-military or whatever else idiots who had an axe to grind accused it of being.
It is though. And whatshisname was the worst possible choice to use for this broken hero melodrama.
Dude lied left and right to make cash
>American babies not getting circumcised? I didn't shoot muslim kids for this!
The frick are you talking about it totally is, why the frick would you even make a movie about a piece of shit like Chris Kyle in the first place, he was just another meathead who enjoyed killing people and expeced your thanks and undying gratitude over it. He was the living human example of everything wrong with the military industrial complex.
>b-b-but clint easteood bro!!!!!
Ok? He can make a shitty movie, Mel's done it too.
You speak of the man, not the film
The film is about the man you homosexual, what mindset do you have to be in to think he's a hero of any sort and make an entire goddamn movie fellating him? A jingoistic one, there's no other way to look at it. It's Clint jacking off about how great America is using one of America's worst fricking decisions in recent history, that being diving headfirst into the War on Terror because "BAWWWWWW THE TOWERSSS" and cheney wanted oil.
>The film is about the man
Ok...a movie being about someone = "fellating" them?
>It's Clint jacking off about how great America is
?t=92 This = Chris Kyle fellatio and "Clint jacking off about how great America is"
Try and use your eyes when you watch something?
>movie tries to tie in 9/11 with the war
>kyle says the war makes america safer and never gets challenged on that
>main complaint of the movie is that people at home don't care enough about soldiers
>all this homosexual shit about shepherds
>that half assed attempt at appealing to christians
Yeah no. Most importantly at no point in the movie does the war get questioned. Let alone wars in general. Or even the topic of when and why to fight gets opened. This is military porn and the ptsd subplot is just to vindicate soldiers after the war itself was shown to be futile.
And I'm pretty sure the army rejected his claim for the shot distance.
You just ignore the clip and keep blathering on? Is this a discussion or your blogspot?
This film is ultra lame
>seething this hard
you'll never be white, Raj
>all these knee jerk reactions from mutts
How the frick does anyone support the US military in this day and age right or left, american or not? Are we just going to act like the war on terror was one of the biggest most misguided waste of fricking time and money this country has ever experienced?
Okay, this has been posted twice. I need a QRD
NTA but
>Adam Driver being too held back while Gaga is too over the top
>Al Pacino hamming it up like he's in an Adam Sandler comedy
>Jared Leto in a terrible fat suit and bald cap doing an italian accent so bad it should be considered a hate crime
Also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O38-IuOmExU
I really don't get why you guys hate this, I liked it. Muh overacting isn't a valid reason save for maybe Leto and even then he was more fun than annoying.
Scott wouldn't make oscar bait, he knows the academy despises him.
wtf i love the academy now
Cats
Can you blame them? Americans live so rent free in their heads that one single patriotic movie sends them into a rage.
The fact is that american sniper is not even a patriotic movie.I'm not from the US and I can clearly see the critique of how believing on such moronic principles leads them to fight in a stupid war that only benefits a few millionaries while they end up with severe mental illness
The real fact is that the movie isn't even relevant to the thread. It was not failed Oscar bait. And he probably just saw it recently, needed to vent that he saw Americans in a movie he didn't like, and picked the first thread he saw. That, or his grasp of the English language is so poor that he didn't even realize that he picked a movie that didn't fit the OP.
You're right anon
>schizo-gay talks about himself in third person as if he wasn't having a discussion with himself over a boring Clint Eastwood flick a couple minutes ago
The Kings Speech
>Won Best Picture
>Won Best Director
>Won Best Actor
>Cleaned up at the box office
How exactly is that failed?
some things are more important than money and awards like not being cringe for one.
Ok, but that's not what this topic is about.
Would a movie that’s nominated for a shit ton of Oscars only to be shut out count as failed Oscar bait?
Stuff like American Hustle, The Color Purple, The Irishman, The Turning Point, etc?
>American Hustle
I forgot that movie, got it was so fricking bad, and it was directed by a rapist
This stupid trash
>filtered by 9/10 will smith kino
NAKADASHI ASA
from the thumbnail I thought that was 12 years a slave lol
Why does Will Smith always have movie posters like this?
dead thread
/pol/tards ruin everything and ruined Cinemaphile
This thread was doomed from the beggining with that stupid topic.
>Gay couple adopt kid with downs syndrome
Oof, that's bad.
>Cumming: I will win an Oscar....Any Day Now.
I've heard worse but still one of the stranger title drops.
Step aside, the king of Oscar bait is here.
I feel like there's always a film about british royalty that comes out every year I only learn about when it gets three nominations at the oscars
Who the frick watches those?
You should watch some anglo history channels. It's like an entire country with schizophrenic delusions.
i'm trans and black, btw.
The King's Speech is actually really comfy.
Spencer was alright. Kinda bland and empty, but it definitely had its moments. I suppose it felt pretty pointless but whatever.
The Queen was alright. Worth a watch.
why do black people who write things INSIST on having their name in the title?
homies want to be famous just like the other Black folk they see on TV (ex. Jay Z, Lebron James).
It was a title issue
>The film's title was up for a possible rename due to a Motion Picture Association claim from Warner Bros., which had inherited from the defunct Lubin Company a now-lost 1916 silent short film with the same name. The case was subsequently resolved with the MPAA granting The Weinstein Company permission to add Lee Daniels in front of the title, under the condition that his name was "75% the size of The Butler". On July 23, 2013, the distributor unveiled a revised poster, displaying the title as Lee Daniels' The Butler.
Hows the movie? Im interested about the 1920s gangster era
it's shit and completely forgetable. i was amazed by the fact that Cinemaphile wasn't drooling over it and cumming on their pants when it came out.
This movie was so bad. And so was Big Short. It's really off putting how much the director sucks his own wiener.
I think it's hilarious how the academy jerks him off because he went from making dumb Will Ferrell comedies to political Oscar bait. In fact I find it funny how silly genre films that 10 years ago would justifiably be ignored by the Academy are now propped up as masterpieces if they check the right boxes (i.e. any political comedy from McKay, "Get Out", etc.)
Frick, even "Don't Look Up" got a Best Pic and Screenplay noms despite not being well-received. It makes one wonder how many dicks McKay's sucked during his time in Hollywood.
nope, great film. i too believed the chuds saying it was bad, until i watched it for myself and realized the chuds were just afraid of it exposing them.
Honest question are you still able to choose which words come out of your mouth?
Because I don't think you can.
I hate Cheney, Bush and all of them but this movie was so heavy handed it was impossible for me to watch because my eyes couldn't stop rolling.
Still kino, my fav movie of 2021.
The scene with the soup and the pearls is fricking amazing.
pretty much all of that hack David O Russell's movies
The Menu with anya taylor-joyless
Not remotely Oscar bait.
