According to one of the Oscars twinks from Youtube: BREAKING: The Billie Holiday movie is now titled: “Lee Daniels’ The United States Vs. Billie Holiday Based on the Book Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs by Johann Hari”

It was a joke.

When did the Oscars become the Film Twitter awards? I have not seen and don’t plan on seeing Mank until I have seen Citizen Kane, but it’s now not getting nominated while PYW and Sound of Metal are? I’d much rather live in a universe in which that’s the case, but we’re talking about the academy here — the same academy that nominated Ford v. Ferrari last year over a number of more inspired choices.

The Irishman has a 94 on MC. People did love it – it was just up against fierce competition. Nobody loves Wank. Wank is all alone.

Good critical reviews don’t indicate love. You can respect what a movie is doing, acknowledge its objective achievements, and still not be excited about it. People weren’t passionate about their love for The Irishman.

Why shouldn’t Luca go through the torture of seeing it just like the rest of us?

Okay, I will watch Mank very soon.

That being said, you can predict without having seen each and every movie that’s come out. And, even though I have seen more criticism than praise for the movie, I still think it’ll do well — and my personal opinion of the product will not change my prediction😊

News of the World, the movie with no buzz according to this forum increased 60% at box office yesterday and was #1. Some films are getting good WOM during the holidays, others are showing disappointing young results.

Wait, News of the World beat WW84? That’s rich! So much for Warner Bros’s “encouraging results” last week! What an absolute flaming dumpster fire flop WW84 has turned into!
