I’m bored, so I looked up the number of people who have logged the following movies on LB. Of course, they have different release dates and I don’t count movies that have yet to come out like TPOTD or “The Lost Daughter”:
Mass 4.9k
The “Belfast” numbers are equally embarrassing for what is supposed to be a frontrunner, but “Mass” is abysmal.
Mass was released in October and has yet to cross the 1K votes on IMDb. An abysmal amount of 978 people have voted so far. Add that to its disastrous BO performance (145k), and you have one of the biggest tanks of the year. I honestly don’t know how Bleecker Street hasn’t decided to release it on VOD until now. Literally NO ONE has seen this movie. It’s a shame cause I honestly LOVE this cast but this is just an absolute disaster.

Mass was released in October and has yet to cross the 1K votes on IMDb. An abysmal amount of 978 people have voted so far. Add that to its disastrous BO performance (140k), and you have one of the biggest tanks of the year. I honestly don’t know how Bleecker Street hasn’t decided to release it on VOD until now. Literally NO ONE has seen this movie. It’s a shame cause I honestly LOVE this cast but this is just an absolute disaster.
Spill, I wanna watch it so bad yet Bleecker wants to hide it from humanity. It’s ridiculous not to release digitally at this point.
. IMDB is the best, except for movies that star women and POC. That’s why I have settled with Rotten Tomatoes.
I checked the numbers on IMDB. The numbers are lower, but “The Last Duel” and “CODA” would move up a few positions and “Respect” as well. The rest is the same.
Dune 352k
The Green Knight 64k
Last Night in Soho 43k
The French Dispatch 30k
CODA 25k
The Last Duel 24k
Titane 18k
Tick tick Boom 16k
Annette 12k
Spencer 12k
King Richard 12k
Respect 8.1k
House of Gucci 6.3k
Passing 5.8 k
The Eyes of Tammy Faye 4.3k
Belfast 2.9k

I love The Green Knight so much. Hope it win Gotham awards.

Yeah, not to complain about first-world problems, but I hate that I cannot see this until, what, January? Is that when it comes out on VOD? An absolute mess.

I- 💀💀💀
Bleecker Street jail pls. I can’t.
I don’t take imdb ratings seriously, but why is Passing 6.6/10? I heard AwardsWatch panelists complain that the actresses are not “really white passing”, is that really a common complaint about the movie? I didn’t know that’s what people were focusing on (instead of the substance of the movie).

Trolls will review bomb any movie starring women and POC
And any person complaining about Ruth Negga not being “white passing” is straight up DUMB, STUPID.
That’s the whole fucking point of the movie, and the point of the cinematography.
Just saw Mike Mills’s C’mon, C’mon – there are a few “dead spots” where the movie is too slow but overall it’s an excellent movie. The boy is fantastic (and is a lead) and Joaquin Phoenix is exceptionally good, along with Gaby Hoffman and the actor who plays Paul, the bipolar dad-husband (he does great work with pretty much no heard dialogue). The black and white camera work is gorgeous, particularly the establishing shots of each of the cities – this film has tons of different locations outdoors and indoors. The interviews with the children are all fascinating. While the movie isn’t perfect it’s certainly very close to perfect. Phoenix could get a nomination, he is certainly better than you know who, and this could get Mills another Original Screenplay nomination too. Grade: A-
More and more I’m convinced Nightmare Alley could take Picture/Director/Screenplay. There’s not enough passion for Belfast or King Richard, and The Power of the Dog and Licorice Pizza both seem like they might leave audiences cold (albeit not as cold as some would tell you). That leaves a perfect opportunity for Nightmare Alley to come in and sweep, assuming it’s upper-tier del Toro and not another Crimson Peak.
If Nightmare Alley isn’t received that warmly I don’t know what will happen. Maybe Don’t Look Up could win Picture & Screenplay while Campion or PTA wins Director? Maybe The Power of the Dog or Licorice Pizza could prove their detractors wrong and win despite their divisive nature? Maybe the pundits are right and Belfast actually is winning after all? I don’t know. Anyone who says there’s an obvious frontrunner right now is fooling themselves, I think. But maybe Nightmare Alley could be it? We’ll just have to wait and see.
I agree, Del Toro won BP with ”Shape of Water” and it was handicapped by the Sci-Fi genre … I bet he wins about 4-5 oscars including BP
The voters like movies about ”Showbiz” even if its the dark and sleazy underbelly ; they also like retro movies set in the 1930-40s ..moreover, a Film Noir seems to fit the gloomy, pessimistic zeitgeist !
It’s also true that there’s no outstanding movie out there so NA could win by default
And any person complaining about Ruth Negga not being “white passing” is straight up DUMB, STUPID.
That’s the whole fucking point of the movie, and the point of the cinematography.
Exactly, I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard Sasha Stone and others on the podcast raise that complaint. She said that the director “Rebecca Hall” would’ve been a better fit for someone who’s white passing…. I mean I’d expect it from like some 50 year old redneck or something… But not from cinephiles/critics who should know better.

Sasha Stone fits more this description than the latter
