Is that just a sign of the times in that movies now are more spectacle than substance or did it win over something demonstrably better? It's all subjective of course, but I've only seen four of the nominees, and I thought Oppenheimer was most definitely better than Flower Moon, Maestro, and Barbie. Flower Moon was the only one that was close. Oppenheimer perhaps is made better by the strength of all its performances. I mean, there isn't a single weak link in it.
Generally speaking, I thought Oppenheimer was solid, but also typical Nolan with the pacing, build, and of course LOUD NOISES. That's not a bad thing, really. It's a tried and true formula.
Watched it last night. Just great writing and great performances. We loved it.I dug American Fiction
probably not best picture nomination-worthy, but still a good flick with some good performances
I don't like sand...it's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.How did the Sarduakar go from the most elite fighting force in the galaxy, who are anointed in human blood, the emperor’s chosen, the only fighting force able to take down the mighty Atreides to pretty much being Storm Troopers?
That's right, Joker has never had a definitive origin or name, though DC has many reboots and iterations over the last couple of decades so I don't know what the current state is. That's not to say that they are, or are not, different people within a specific reality. Note - there are easily hundreds, probably up to thousands by now, of Joker stories and his continuity has never been important, so there may be stories that completely contradict what I just said, but that's the character as I've ever read him. I think "The Dark Knight" captured this, we never knew who he was, his story was always changing.Went home and watched 2nd half of ‘89 Batman. Keaton is meh, but I really liked the movie as a whole.
Maybe better suited for the comic book movie thread, but in the comics, are there multiple Joker characters/origin stories?
A Joker with no real origin or motivation is a good counter to the Batman with a well-defined origin and motivation.That's right, Joker has never had a definitive origin or name, though DC has many reboots and iterations over the last couple of decades so I don't know what the current state is.

almost like it's intentional
There should be a different concession stand dedicated to depressing serious business movies, just alcohol, tobacco, and beef jerky.I'm on an island here but I like Killers of the Flower Moon alot. I will say I saw it at 11:30am in an empty theatre which allowed me to crush Bud tall boys and smoke my vape the entire time.
Totally agree. I need to smoke cigs if Im watching Michael Clayton.There should be a different concession stand dedicated to depressing serious business movies, just alcohol, tobacco, and beef jerky.
