You should give Anora a watch. It’s a fun ride.

I go to a lot of movies and very very rarely do I see someone get up and leave during the movie. But it seems to be a common thing on this board.

I have never done it. Only once—the final Die Hard—did it even cross my mind to leave but my wife wanted to stay.

I have only done it once (Mortal Kombat Annihilation)

I've see it twice. Both were early showings where old people just apparently picked random movies they knew nothing about

I wish I had "walk out of the theater" money.

If I pay for the experience, I am watching it,

I sat through Monkeybone. From trailer to credits.

Objectively the worst movie ever to get a wide release

Yep, I like most Leo movies also, this one was terrible, to be kind. You would have to pay me to ever watch that pile again.

I'm saying that he never went to the movie in the first place and his entire statement is a fabrication.

Crash won best picture

I bailed when they gave best picture to the movie about the woman who fricks the fish man.

The Oscars were created by Jack Warner to legitimize Hollywood people in high society, so it was never about the art. Now, it's about Hollywood sucking its own dick every year.

Also, I watched OBAA in its entirety. If you're a woke communist, it's the greatest film of the decade. For everyone else, it's scatterbrained virtue-signaling nonsense.

And I'm sorry, but Leo's love interest, Annie Fanny, looks like a frickin' dude..

I feel like you completely missed the many, many negatives they gave to the French 75 (or ppl in the group).

Those 'negatives' seemed mostly there to make the protagonists look quirky and likeable and cool, for the most part.

The big bads were still the most Christian, whitest people imaginable, with the same tiresome 'negatives' we've seen again and again. Nazi Hitler, blah blah blah.

The worst film ever awarded Best Picture came out in 1933, Cavalcade. That was 2 years after the second worst film ever awarded Best Picture came out, Cimmaron.

The Greatest Show on Earth
Green Book
Birdman
Chicago
The King's Speech
Driving Miss Daisy
American Beauty
Tom Jones!
The Broadway Melody
Around the World in 80 Days
The Shape of Water
The Great Ziegfeld
A Beautiful Mind

Bad movies winning is neither new nor unprecedented. Bad movies have been beating good ones since the second Oscars. Lesser movies have been beating better ones since the first Oscars. Every once in a while a movie you love wins.

I disagree with the particular sentiment in this OP, but he must be like 15 if he thinks the Oscars should be validating his taste every year. And if his taste said Green Book was the worthy winner for the 2018 film year, then he's going to have a rough go of it going forward.

In Paul Thomas Anderson's acceptance speech last night, he listed the nominated best picture films of 1975 (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, and Nashville). His point was that losing didn't lessen any of the great films nominated, it came down to how the voters were feeling on that particular day.

First time I streamed it I stopped after the first 20 minutes too. But I ended up watching the whole movie the second time. It’s a decent movie.

Crash is the worst best picture ever.

Not just for the hamfisted messaging

The acting, editing, direction, dialogue were all just horrendous. The proseletyzing made 2000 Mules look subtle. The blatant, overt stereotyping of every single character would have been amazing, were it a slapstick comedy.

Not a single character seemed real or relatable. . .or even logically possible.

Only major release movies that approach it's level of amazing incompetence are Monkeybone and Rebel Moon(pick one). None of them would have been considered for a participation trophy, much less a BP Oscar.

Don Cheadle was my favorite actor, until I saw this movie, ffs.
