Everything Everywhere All At Once

<3

lol I'd like to see this movie inspire a whole bunch of shitty knockoffs a la "Pulp Fiction." Imitators, start your engines! (Not you, OGs Spike Jonze/Michel Gondry, just keep doing whatever it is you are up to).

Get Morty

Wrong supporting actress won

Good title for what's happening now.

I liked this piece by Justin Chang, who's ambivalent about the movie but happy for its success: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2023-03-12/oscars-2023-everything-everywhere-all-at-once-best-picture

Yeah I liked that as well. Obviously I feel much differently about the film but that’s a thoughtful disagreement there instead of whatever screed Wells has.

Good piece, sticks the landing with a quality Dad-pun. In theory I like the idea that more than prestige Oscar-bait films can win best picture; they don't need to because people can already tell they're prestigious. So while I can't imagine ever seeing this movie a second time and struggled with it the first, I like the idea of it winning more than I like the movie itself. Even if somewhere in the multiverse murk I feel it moves us one step closer to Pomplamoose winning an Oscar.

I agree with this on paper but ... seeing Hsu unabashedly cheering for JLC's victory was a nice consolation

LOL, they're totally going to EGOT now

Meantime most of the core cast is in this:

speaking of fwiw I've seen next to no comic book movies.

Good thread

I liked EEAAO a lot, think it’s the best action comedy since Hot Fuzz etc. but I also think it’s an interesting adaptation of the fantasy of fixing our problems by exploiting another land that we see in things like The Tempest and earlier 20th c sci fi.

I was hoping that someone would have thanked Kathleen Malone of the 2005 Cincinnati IRS office.

_Still need to read that multiverse book mookieproof recommended.
