Yo Zed, have any luck getting tickets for The Brutalist or Cloud? Got everything else I wanted. The Brutalist was the first one I tried to get and it sold out in less than a minute. I got tickets to: 'Speed', 'The Brutalist', and 'The Fall'. Missed out on 'Anora' and 'Cloud' ): At least the website didn't crash this time. Oh yeah, website was surprisingly a smooth run. I'm just glad I get to finally see a Paul Verhoeven Q+A, especially for a top 5 favorite for me. Looking forward to seeing Terrifier 3 in a sold out Egyptian Theater crowd. Even though the runtime for the new one is a little over 2 hours (128 minutes).

Will Sean Baker be nominated (finally) for Anora? Is it more of an agreeable film to the academy than his other movies?

Even though I thought it was his best, I feel like it may be a bit taboo for the older Academy voters due it's sex worker depiction. Really not far off from Red Rocket regarding the risqué factor.

Red Rocket, though most of the scenes seemed low key, had that consistent quiet anxiety and tension. I feel like the Florida Project got its due even if it wasnât a big movie or anything, but Red Rocket was too beyond the pale for most. Who knew Simon Rex could carry a movie? Truly one of the all time great canât-look-away performances.

i think Anora will be deemed too unrealistic because there is no such thing as a Russian-speaking community in Brooklyn - they are all 100% assimilated (!!!) as we all know

The oligarch family in the film lives in Russia. A lot of the Brooklyn scenes show to depict strip clubs and the Armenian community.

Wild. Board really is life. It really just feels like home at this point. --I wish I could multi-quote on this forum because I would have quoted Z here-- The Z man... holy shit!! What immediately comes to mind is trolling other message boards... this one time I think we did Lambgoat as US presidents lol. Tiger Uppercut! demo was cool as hell. An all timer. Alright, this is the film thread so a few Jason X thoughts: -had forgot about the David Cronenberg cameo, how did that even happen?? -nipleless android boobs are cool -frozen face smash might be the best kill in the entire franchise

Also, Iâm happy to delete/edit my shit since I realize now using Cut was probably a bridge too far and I know folks might value their quasi anonymity more than me
Apologies upfront if that was a bad move on my part
Guess I just had flashbacks to the RL Stein shit and got over my skis

Speak No Evil got Americanized to the point that it kinda turns into Straw Dogs. Thought it was pretty good mostly due to James McAvoy.

The 2013 'Evil Dead' pissed me off. By the end it's alright but what the fuck.

I also dig the hell outta 2013. Evil Dead Rise you can keep
Rewatched the first two Mad Maxes in the past couple of days. Unreal the jump in quality from the first to second, and I do like the first but goddamn

I won't speak anymore about this movie that I sort of despised, but I also just finished 'Mikey and Nicky' and liked that a lot. So there's that for ya :)

Mikey and Nicky rules. Elaine May doesn't have much of a filmography but I really liked what I've seen. That movie really nails the male friendship interplay without the overindulgence of Cassavetes' usual work (I'm particularly thinking of Husbands here.)

i love Mikey and Nicky and cannot stand Husbands, but yeah i wouldn't call that his usual work - more of a blemish on his filmography
i watched Tempest for the first time recently and idk why i had this idea that it was some corny '80s movie because it is actually very good

A buddy of mine caught a screening of The Substance. Said it was mostly elderly people there for some reason and most of them were just completely bewildered by the whole thing, he loved it!!
I watched Robowar last night. A Predator/Robocop ripoff directed by good old Vincent Dawn (Bruno Mattei). I knew exactly what I was getting into and it delivered the goods. The ''predator/robocop'' was basically just a dude in motorcycle gear... kinda looked like they bought the leftover costume from The Wraith and added shoulder pads lol.
The ending was surprisingly poignant.
