This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year AND DECADE in Cinema" -- 2019

Glamorous NYC locations, glitzy party scenes, movie stars delivering amazing well-rehearsed performances, and razor-sharp jokes about things like prostitutes and the morning-after pill - whats not to love, looks like another Woody classic!

largely awful as always

So, the live action remake of The Lion King is an animated film?

Not sure about Bale and Pryce, but otherwise we're looking at many Oscar nominees next month.

And maybe winners ... I had to go back and check and, indeed, nearly everything that won a Golden Globe last year went on to win the Oscar -- Green Book, Cuaron, Malek, Coleman, Ali, King, Green Book's screenplay, "Shallow" for song, Spider-Verse for animated, Roma for foreign film. The only single miss was First Man for original score.

is it wrong to expect a Marriage Story sweep

and ugh Supporting Actor filled with slumming stars

I hadn't even noticed that! so boring and shitty. Pacino especially really doesn't need to be in the mix

He would've been replaced by the similarly craggy Dafoe, probably.

There's no way that category doesn't have a median age of 67 this year.

I can see Dafoe making it to Oscar nod, just to seal his comeback.

er, nom

Don't nom my nod.

*sigh, do i hafta?* fuck the Oscars

i shared a GG link yesterday, saves bandwidth

So, the live action remake of The Lion King is an animated film?

It’s not live action and contains only animated performances so yes

who is the lead in the Mr Rogers biopic, if the Mr Rogers actor is Supporting?

Matthew Rhys as the ghost of Christmas past

was gonna ask the same question; settled on daniel striped tiger (likely josh gad role)

it's about an Esquire writer, sic

Mr Rogers is the savior

xpost why in the world would anyone watch that

it's about an Esquire writer, sic

Mr Rogers is the savior

I already had no interest in this movie, now I'm Bret Easton Ellis ovah heah

Consensus seems to be "decent movie that would have been intolerable if almost anyone else directed it"

Tom Hanks is phenomenal in it, all the Gondry-esque touches are cute/cool (but would have been better with Gondry), but it's mostly pretty meh

someone observed that the Esquire offices in the late '90s are seen as staffed significantly by women and people of color...

xp to whiney: because it's well edited (if painfully scored)

(and it is very much detritus)

Why would I want to watch a bunch of movie clips edited together for 14 minutes?

"Wow, what if someone made the montage that opens the Oscars but it had Midsommar in it!"

I love film, but I don't think I understand film fans sometimes

Yes, the Twitter guy editing Star Wars scenes is just like Godard's Histoire(s) du cinéma

sometimes i think you mostly like to argue

i'm with whiney here though, that edit is obnoxious

There is entirely too much Midsommer in there.

there's a top 25 list once you get past the intro, which i skipped entirely. or possibly don't watch it?

or possibly don't watch it?

capitulation!

or.... possibly do?

Even Film Comment succumbs to the detriusness of it all.

#1 no surprise

Souvenir at #6 is fine but still too low

Still a bit perplexed by how well High Life (FC's #7) is doing. Belated recognition of the director? It's probably in the poorer half of Denis's output, and among 2019's "lost in space" art films I liked Aniara more.

It's a sex movie imo

The car wash Sybian is about as sexy as a wrench set...

God, I forgot High Life existed

robots in dis guys

I wish I could forget High Life exists
