I regret watching Knives Out and will never watch Glass Onion or Top Gun Maverick. Never.

Top Gun: Maverick is a fantastic movie. You're so close minded, Tree

Glass Onion getting a nomination is laughable.

That surprised me, too

Have you seen that piece of shit?

Yeah, but I wouldn't call it a piece of shit. I'd call it silly and I'd complain that it takes about an hour to get moving, then gets silly again shortly after that. And I'd say that Rian Johnson didn't understand what was compelling about the first movie, so the sequel just ends up being very superficial with no guts or heart or hunanity

ok not a piece of shit but a turd?

I'm just so sick of Cruise and his whole action movie star schtick, and of all the remember ___ reboots

You guys hating on the piece of shit that is Glass Onion forced Farmer John to log off. I hope you're happy.

Hey I never said it was good! I said it was "fine" and maybe "fun", I can't remember.

I'm not comparing them. I hate them for different reasons.

You then went on to say that it was "a blast". There's no coming back from this, I'm afraid.

The Academy would be wise to award the Oscar to Top Gun. Enough of these artsy fartsy winners.

Jorge · **Posted:** Tue January 24, 2023 6:33 pm

Coda won last year, one of the least artsy fartsy (and worst) winners in recent memory

I'll see those last two this week, I guess. And maybe fucking Avatar, but I'm not happy about it

I can see the members of the Academy reading CODA as an artsy fartsy art-house film, absolutely.

You don't have to see these movies. You can say no.

We all have our crosses to bear, Burt. I'm a consumer. I must consume. It's all I know

Western Front is OK, but I didn't feel there was anything novel about it. Not really worth watching unless you got nuthin better to do than to be reminded again how hellish war can be. I'm sure it's better than Glass Onion.

...Western Front looked to be well made from the trailer, but... war is bloody dreadful, innit? I can't imagine it being an enjoyable viewing experience.

Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?
