Re: Christopher Nolan For Making A Bond Movie?

I used to be firmly in the "I would rather he focused on original stuff" camp, but now I'm not so sure. Look at his recent comments about how he's aware that he's privileged to get big budgets to do original stuff, or how he won't tackle the horror genre until he has a completely fresh idea that has...

Re: Soundtrack: Göransson Returns

I'm inclined to believe that, because Opp had the most leeway in terms of post-production time out of all of his movies. As he famously doesn't do reshoots, all that extra time until release probably went towards endlessly tweaking the edit and the music, both of which are relatively cheap tasks tha...

Re: Oppenheimer - Awards Speculation

Let's not pretend that Killers of the Flower Moon's reception, high placement on year-end lists, and award noms and wins, isn't being heavily boosted by two factors: 1. The extreme affability of the director, who comes off as a chill, teddy bear grandpa who is always there for you, and who is of an ...

Re: "Oppenheimer" Reviews Discussion

I came here to post that, only to see that [n]atalie has already done so. Damn, you miss nothing, do you? I think that that whoever at Metacritic is in charge of inputting the review scores took into account this article: https://variety.com/2023/film/columns/the-secret-weapon-of-oppenheimer-christo...

What would you change/fix about Oppenheimer?

First, I would show Mr. Nolan this: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TGEt81O_qaI/Uxns70ZKVEI/AAAAAAAACE4/V5v81OF9sT4/s1600/white-text-black-outline.png The haunting opening text is lessened by the presentation that makes it look borderline illegible. Like, black text on a partly-black background? Really? ...

Re: Oppenheimer - Awards Speculation

No, no, I wasn't calling you out or anything. It's clear that Lionheart was calling it a dud quality-wise and not financially (which is why I ninja-edited my post), so it's not like you misunderstood the discussion. I was just using the dud talk to segue into financial duds and how the box office's ...

Re: Oppenheimer - Awards Speculation

I mean, I love Oppenheimer as much as the next guy, and likewise hope it wins as much as it can, but at the very least there's competition in Killers of the Flower Moon . A Scorsese dud should not be competition. But yeah, you're right, it could win. Because of reasons There hasn't been a great fil...

Re: Robert Downey Jr. will play Lewis Strauss

The script: "This has become a trial about a trial!" The film: "Interestingly enough, this is no longer a confirmation hearing. It's now a trial! *pushes coat rack at Counsel in childish tantrum* About a trial!" + the rubbing of the coffee cup on his lips when he's on the sofa He brought sooo much c...

Re: Oppenheimer - General Information

https://youtu.be/Xt1sw_1pW4M?&t=639 Screenplay was originally four hours, cut down to three to maintain artistic control Judging by how closely the published screenplay follows the final film, the trimming obviously happened well before the start of production. In fact, although I can't find it now,...
