Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

Oh someone somewhere definitely has a copy of Coyote Vs Acme which they'll probably release if disgruntled with a capital D

Re: 2023 Festivals/Awards Thread

six: How much did you have to bet on Murphy to win that much and when did you place it? The odds on the books over here were pretty shit once Murphy won the BAFTA, but he was a good value pick during that brief period after Giamatti won the Critic's Choice and it looked like it was going to be a re...

Re: 2023 Festivals/Awards Thread

Was a little surprised by the screenplay wins, as neither felt like the strongest of their categories.

And Emma Stone was a slight surprise, as odds favoured Gladstone.

I did win £100 on Cillian though, so I'm happy

Re: Tranny Tackles the Cinema: The Films of 3/8

You're not the only one.

I had a sneaking suspicion it would do well because kids have been starved of appropriate films in the cinema. Wish I had gone all-in on it

Re: Rate That Movie Part IV: Movies Never Sleep

Dune Pt 2 - 7/10 I very impressive sequel that tries to cover the dense first book, and doesn't quite do so. Once again Villeneuve captures the world perfectly, with incredibly cinematography and use of sound and music. More impressively, it never quite relishes in the war and battles, but instead ...

Re: The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

Odd, given how well Pearl was received. Perhaps it has a fest ready to go, such as SXSW

Re: Screening The Releases - March 1st

I think it was a hit on streaming, because financially the $400m global the first made isn't exactly amazing, but then again it came out when a lot of people were still worried about COVID. Deadline are predicting a global OW of $170m or so, which would be pretty impressive

Re: Screening The Releases - March 1st

Its Thurs number is $12m at the moment, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit anywhere between 80 and 90m at this rate

Re: 2023-24 Full Year Slates - The Shryke Draft

Agreed with Chien. I guess I missed that conversation too, but if it's coming out on separate release dates and sites like BOM and The Numbers are separating them, then we should too. Presumably, for the next draft we won't be lumping the Horizon films together, for example, as we wouldn't have for ...

Re: What Are You Watching Right Now? Episode 3 - Turtles in Time

My theory about older people is that they're so used to watching TV at home and talking through it that they fail to realise they're in a cinema full of other people. This happened to me last year as a couple decided to comment on everything. The great thing about the UK is everyone is so posh and p...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

I watched Heaven's Gate on New Years Eve for the first time, as I nabbed the Criterion Blu-ray for cheap. It's the full version. I was impressed by it. The scale is amazing, and the bitterness of the theme and the main character who isn't the nicest. I'd argue it's too long, particularly the opening...

Yep. Had a while ago, I think, but never bothered to commit. Now I've put almost every feature film I've seen on it. Strangely, my life doesn't feel any better.

Re: Best of 2023 So Far

I think a couple of my least favourite ended up in your favourites, Chien.
