Oscars 2024

glad Nolan won the DGA SO JUST GIVE THAT MAN THE FRICKING OSCAR

Finished The Zone of Interest.

Because I witnessed no Nazis die or suffer significantly on screen in the film, my review will be summed up in the immortal words of Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather from In Living Color's "Men on Film": HATED IT.

Watched Poor Things. Weird greatness. Liked it.

Well, Poor Things just cleaned up on Make-up & Hairstyling, Production Design, and Costume Design.

I guess strictly historical stuff doesn't win in those categories?

You owe me $100, Mr Half-foot.

Good! I’m glad Miyazaki won.

Oppenheimer dominated this year much like the fantastic Everything Everywhere all at Once did last year.

Glad Cillian Murphy was finally recognised for his talent. Some of you should watch his pre-Sunshine movies. Particularly Disco Pigs.

Emma Stone was the only big surprise I think.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting Emma Stone to win, but glad she did. I was thinking either Gladstone or Anatomy of a Fall lady.

I mean, it really couldn't be any other movie with Oppenheimer in the race. It's a pretty extraordinary film. It does seem the obvious winner for Best Picture.

Kind of crazy that Killers of the Flower Moon didn't win ANYTHING.

At least The Boy and the Heron and Godzilla Minus One came away with something... I guess.

Nice to see Stone, Oppenheimer and Godzilla win.

Emma Stone won in Poor Things because she didn't go full retard, it's a shoo-in to be nominated.

The character kind of started out full retard, but developed and progressed.

My first thought at the beginning of the movie was that she was kind of doing a Gilbert Grape.

Happy for Oppenheimer. It was expected, but still nice to see an actual good movie win tons of awards unlike last year where the dumpster fire that it EEAAO inexplicitly did the same.

Godzilla winning sfx is probably the big story. At least when it pertains to blockbusters. With budget becoming ridiculously inflated, many of them being north of 200 mill, this "little" film that only costs a mere 15 million beats them all. Hopefully it will lead to a change in the industry with how sfx are used. But that's probably me just hitting the hopium.

Anyway, Japan won big last night. Godzilla, The Boy and the Heron and, uhhhh, Oppenheimer I guess.

Hating EEAAO is a sign of low IQ, so I suppose it is no coincidence that Leech and ares hate it.

Spoiler:
I haven't seen it.

Really shouldn't say I hated EEAAO, as I did enjoy and laugh at some parts and some characters. But it's WAY overrated.

Boomers deserve the rope

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand EEAAO. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Evelyn's existentialistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Nikolai Berdyaev literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike EEAAO truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the scene where Evelyn has hot dog fingers, which itself is a cryptic reference to Stanley Kubrick's film epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the Daniels' genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have EEAAO tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
