Oscars 2019

Bohemian Rhapsody is not “Oscar worthy”. I enjoyed the movie as I’m a massive Queen fan but judging at as a movie it’s incredibly flawed. Even ignoring that most of I didn’t happen like the way the movie portrayed.

This happened.

Then this happened.

Then this thing happens.

AIDS

Live Aid

It’s got the worst structure to a movie I’ve seen in a long time. I mean did anyone get anything out of this movie that they didn’t already know. The best part of the movie was the last 20 minutes...and shur you may as well look up the real thing on YouTube.

Oh I must have missed your solid argument and reason when you posted almost an identical response to a film in this very thread, compared to the one of mine you took such issue with :pac:

I must have missed the boards rules that require solid argument and reason with every opinion too!

I posted mine in the film thread btw, wouldn’t wanna derail a thread.

Aww did an insult hurt your feelings? Your response to my post was an insult. If you’re gonna dish it out, accept the replies turd lover.

You’re welcome xo

And there goes Bohemian Rhapsody's chances of winning Best Picture. Feel sorry for Malek who is now going to be forced to condemn Singer's actions over and over again for the next month.

I though Dexter Fletcher took over directing from Singer on it?

Yeah but the film was pretty much in the can at that point. Singer is the only credited director.

As someone with only a passing interest in Queen during the movie I was thinking, I don't think that happened or they have this out of sequence, wait what?.

Didn't Malek and Singer not have a run in during filming hence why Fletcher was brought on.

Even Ant-Man And The Wasp was much better than Black Panther

totally agree - I thought Black Panther was absolutely terrible. CGI was horrible, acting shocking, no real story or direction in the movie.
We all know why it go so much 'praise' and that is fair enough but as a movie its just cat.

They had runs ins during production but that's not the full reason why he was replaced. Singer was disappearing or not showing up for set, and then in December 2017 he said he needed take time off to tend to his sick mother (think she he'd said she was in New York, but he was then spotted in LA hanging around). The stories coming out about him around #metoo were not helping matters.

Since when did sexual misconduct stifle your chances in Hollywood.

I’m no fan of superhero movies but it’s not even the best one of the last year! Infinity War was better, Spider-Man into the spider verse is almost a masterpiece and even Deadpool 2 was better.

I have no idea how Roma is getting the acclaim it is receiving. The main female lead in there for Best Actress?!?! She doesn't act!! Jaysus.

Would win my award for most boring movie of the year

The only surprise win at the SAGs was Black Panther for cast

Black Panther won the biggest film honor of the night, taking home the best ensemble prize, SAG-AFTRA's equivalent of the best picture award.

Other big SAG Award winners included Glenn Close, named best actress in a leading role for The Wife, and Rami Malek, who was tapped as best actor in a film for Bohemian Rhapsody.

Also on the film side, Emily Blunt won the SAG Award for best supporting actress for A Quiet Place, while Mahershala Ali was named best supporting actor for Green Book.

Regina King was not nominated :P

I would put Emily as lead in A Quite Place

It's a very average movie IMO. And yes when I read Micheal Bay's name at the end it put me off even more than when I was watch it. Sandra Bullock's Netflix movie sounds like a different version of the same movie.

Oddly I kind of liked The First Purge (Micheal Bay link), because the ensemble cast were good, the script was crap but at least the cast was good.

I watched very few films in 2018. I just looked at this 2018 movie list on IMDB and I think I've only seen 6 of the first 100. Of those 6, Ready Player One was my favourite. Then The Christmas Chronicles.

Roma was beautifully shot but it was just far too boring. And I stuck with it to the end.

It's a fairly weak lineup for Best Picture this year, hope Bohemian Rhapsody gets it rather than the usual boring predictable stuff like Vice. Still, the worst year ever has to be 1998 when Shakespeare in love beat Saving Private Ryan and Life is Beautiful.

Frank O. Pinion · 30-01-2019 9:40pm

Has anybody else seen At Eternity's Gate? I don't think it's getting an Ireland/UK release until March, but it is "available" online. I watched it today, primarily because of Willem Dafoe's Best Actor nomination for his role as Vincent van Gogh. It's a beautiful film, and I loved Dafoe's performance. I actually hope he wins Best Actor. He's been nominated three times previously for Best Supporting Actor, but this is his first Best Actor nomination.

Actually the year before isn't great either as Titanic won over Good Will Hunting.
