I typically like to see the Best Picture nominees, but I genuinely have no interest in seeing the two musicals or the Bob Dylan biopic. It looks like SUCH a generic biopic and I don't have much interest in his music, so was genuinely just going to skip it, but may have to go ahead and watch some of them anyway. Isn't everyone sick of biopics at this point?
The Brutalist and The Substance were good, Emilia Perez is an absolute joke of a film, it being nominated for anything other than a razzie is ridiculous.

I haven't finished the last act yet, but I'm surprised I don't hate it as much as some. I think the idea is at least a good one. I'm just going to have to see if it actually does something with the idea in the 3rd act instead of just more annoying musical numbers. If it progresses the plot instead of just adding more musical scenes.
I didn't hate it as much as most people. The 3rd act isn't exactly the direction I was hoping it would go in, but it at least did something with its premise. And most of the music is kept pretty brief.
Omg, I liked Wicked. I can't believe it. Well, I liked everything except the singing, but even that I could forgive most of the time knowing that it's basically a musical play put to screen. One or two of the musical numbers were stimulation overload. But the story sucked me in with its contributions to the Wizard of Oz lore, the origin of the Wicked Witch of the West, timely and highly socially relevant plot elements, of course. And the two leads had tremendous chemistry, I thought.
If someone had told me it featured a talking goat (voiced by Peter Dinklage no less!!!) I probably would have rushed out to see it.
I did not like Nickel Boys. Apparently an historical atrocity obscured by poor choices in filmmaking. Had potential to be Shawshank Redemption esque, but decided to be artsy fartsy and incomprehensible and to even be vague and weird about hiding the apparent violence. That shit gets on my nerves. If it was bad the audience needs to know.
And f#ck, I don't think Brutalist and the Bob Dylan movie are going to go digital for another couple weeks. Like the 18th and 22nd or something.
