re: Oscar Voter: Blade Runner 2049 sucked, Phantom Thread boring and Dunkirk was not enjoyable

They filmed this too warm, it's not supposed to be bright and sunny with reds and browns it's supposed to dark and cold with blues and garish contrasting colors." Still not sure if I will watch.

Without giving away plot details - I will say they got some things right - the first interior shot had that classic, retro "worn out future" look captured almost perfectly. The fact that it was right after a dangerously bright (for Blade Runner), daylight outside scene. I immediately thought "this film is too bright" - and except for the scenes inside the Tyrell building, the lead character's apartment and the well-reproduced street scene, it was. "Too warm" is also fair, using your words to describe the bits you've seen of it.

They got some other things right and a few things horribly wrong (as I suggested earlier) - if you can watch it with heavily tempered expectations, it is worth it for fans of the original. I get how some like it. I can't get how fans of the original fawn over it and suggest this one is better - nonsense on a lot of levels. Again, big shoes to fill, IMHO.

let’s start with this ridiculous $300-million Academy museum. Think of all the great educational and other resources that could be made available to women and people of color with a fraction of that money. It makes me sick!

Because until society has given every minority more than every white person, no money should be spent on anything else. Jeez-isss

I find it odd people are taking issue with this line. It's a great point. Instead of paying lip service to black or female filmmakers, how about putting ACTUAL resources behind them? The voter calls out Hollywood's hypocrisy on the issue.

The Oscars are the end of the line for a movie. If you want to help diverse filmmakers, go to the beginning. Help people get into the industry and make their movies. Honestly, I enjoy movies from diverse perspective. I like a different point of view than my own.
