Ironically, I would’ve been fine if Mel Gibson had gotten a best actor nomination for BRAVEHEART, I don’t like him but it is a masterful performance
EVERYTHING else tho...WOOF!
spot on review of AMERICAN BEAUTY, I think. It is definitely worth noting how many people involved in it pretty much have no career anymore.
I sometimes wonder if part of Braveheart's popularity was also due to the score and the cinematography (it certainly does look impressive), but much of the rest seems flat.
You're also right about the cast of American Beauty.... Annette Bening, Chris Copper, and Allison Janney are the only three who appeared in the film that still really have careers.
And although we disagree on Fargo (although I'll still say that Secrets and lies was the best in that 1996 lineup), I still feel more power to you, because I know what its like to be in a boat like that when you know deep down in your bones that something isn't good regardless of everyone else says and people treat you badly when you speak the truth. (Call it the Seinfeld's- Elaine- on- The- English-Patient effect) And I admire your tenacity of sticking to your guns. That's entirely commendable and a mark of honor.

I used to pride myself on hating the most beloved/best reviewed film every year- BRAVEHEART, FARGO, TITANIC, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, AMERICAN BEAUTY, Sometimes I felt like Charlton Heston shouting out the ingredients of Soylent Green as everyone side-eyed me and kept walking on.
It all got rather exhausting.
(I bet someone’s gonna reply to this with how much they love FARGO- That’s fine, you do you. Me personally, I would spill a pineapple Shasta on the master print if I ever got the chance.)I'd rather focus on the fact that I agree with you on two of those: Braveheart, which started fine but quickly became overextended and wearysome, and American Beauty, which is pretty much a puckered dead zone. I wrote up a review once of my dislike of it.
QuoteThere are many times when I have divulged with common public opinion. This is one of them. In 1999, this was much praised and won Best Picture. It has become secured since as some sort of a modern classic. But the truth of the matter is that, even before recent scandals and everything, it does not hold up at all, and lets off a queasy air.
Maybe the fact that the Kevin Spacey character admits that he is dead in the opening words of the film that gave audiences some sort of distance from the material so that they could just watch waiting for the other shoe to fall. But it does not excuse the fact that one of his character's prime motivations, to try to seduce the underage best friend of his daughter , is perverse and squeamish at best, and brings up plenty of disreputable moral currents. And the way its presented is that the audience is expected to cheer him on which really feels horrible.
What also feels off is that aside from Spacey, most of the characters are shown in the broadest terms as grotesqueries. Now that definitely should apply to the Chris Cooper character, an absolutely appalling mess of a man, but the film's shrill insistence in seeing the others as cardboard cutouts is wearying. That Annette Bening, in the film's standout performance, manages to push past the cliche of the unfaithful, neurotic wife, and finds depth in it is a testament to her skill as an actress. Most aren't that lucky and check into several convenient boxes: dissatisfied husband, teenage beauty, moody daughter, rebel, smarmy lover.
Ultimately though, what is additionally damaging to this film is that this appeared only two years after The Ice Storm, a film completely ignored by the Oscars. It too was consumed by the subject of the dark side of suburbia and the desperate, often confusing ways of relationships and lust. But whereas that film approached its characters head on in an adult, nuanced perspective, this one just only touches the surface. It offers no new shocks, only the same old, same old, dressed up in a different way.

OMIGOSH! Please put “MOVIE OMNIMORE” in your profile byline!!! THATS A GREAT TERM!!!!
(Like mine says “greater than a real vampire!”)
I also tend to stay away from modern films by and large. Every now and then I’ll watch some thing from 2010 onwards, And many times the films are just so absolutely terrible that they will depress me for days
Just followed your suggestion.
Regarding modern films, its just so hit and miss. Although I catch up with brand new releases (so I don't forget about watching them in years to come), I otherwise rarely venture beyond 1996 or 1997 anymore. (83.6% of the films I've seen this year so far come from this point or before and last year it was 90.1%) I don't know, I was born in the 1990s and, if based on generational stereotypes, I'd pretty much love modern films, the films of today, because they are pretty much made with today's young in mind. But I run hot and cold, and my tastes lean older . I see modern films I love (Just from last year, Little Women, Motherless Brooklyn, The Farewell, 1917, Ford Vs Ferrari, The Good Liar, Just Mercy, Richard Jewell, Parasite, Where'd You Go Bernadette, Yesterday, Downton Abbey, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were all films that I personally admired), but other times I see films that are merely good (not great) praised to the high heavens, and sometimes downright bad films lavished with all the attention in the world. And if you try to say that something well liked isn't so great, you kind of become an enemy of the people in some quarters. I posted my Jojo Rabbit review elsewhere and it was about one half kind comments and one part acidic comments. but even that's better than some other treatment I've seen.
One issue is that I tend to prefer films that are well put together, are character and plot driven, rather than by effects, films where consequences come from the choices the characters make. It's not to say I dislike all modern blockbusters, but I prefer dramas and low-key comedies. But even the dramas, not the ones mentioned above, but others, have occasionally had something off about them at times, like a feeling of superiority or of clammy self-importance that is unsatisfying. And also, I'll freely admit, the vast majority of the actors and actresses I like watching the most are either dead, retired, or over the age that Hollywood usually seeks to cater to. There are some good young actors and actresses out there, but they are so much at the mercy of fluctuating quality that it isn't even funny.
And yet I keep trying. I still have two more 2019 films rented from the local video store yet to see before Sunday, both small scale dramas: Frankie with Isabelle Huppert, Marisa Tomei, Greg Kinnear, and Brendan Gleeson, and Clemency with Alfre Woodard.

Re: JOJO RABBIT
This past year I wrote a comedy about Nazis and vampires so I was kind of interested in maybe checking it out, but I read a scathing review on the website JEZEBEL
Interestingly enough though, most of the comments were ripping on the author for ripping on the film.
(It’s also to be noted that a lot of the writers on that website are kind of up their own butts.)
I'll leave the idea of seeing the film up to you, but just take it as a precaution. A lot of people handled it a lot better than I did. As for film writers, I generally prefer writings that are down to earth and personal, instead of high and mighty. But maybe that's because I'm a film omnivore, perfectly comfortable with praised films and often seeking out neglected and ill-treated films to see if they are better than reputation.

That Jodie. She certainly makes some choices, doesn’t she?
Maybe, but I like her all the same. Would be nice if she got another big juicy role some time.

Oddly enough though, I kind of have a grudging fondness for movies that you can spend (at least) twice the duration of listing all the various plot holes contained within afterwards.
ie I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
A good example of that for me was 2005's Flightplan, essentially an action version of The Lady Vanishes on a plane with Jodie Foster. Cuckoo plot, but smoothly handled enough that it was enjoyable.

Krakowski wasn't in the version I saw, but she's on the original cast recording.
For some reason or another, the cast album of Grand hotel on CD was held up for two years after it debuted on Broadway. By the time it was ready to do the recording, one of the opening night cast members from 1989 had passed away, so a replacement filled in.

I HATE THOSE!
Same. I also dislike another type. The films that you see that you might like when you first see them or you think are OK, and the longer you think about them the less effective they seem and the more you dislike them.

I just reread that post about CAPTAIN FANTASTIC and it merits a second YIKES!
It kind of sounds like Vincent Gallo decided to do a remake of “the great Santini.“The only reasons i saw it because people were talking about it and because of the acting nominations. i wished I hadn't seen it, and its one of those films that gets more offensive in retrospect.

They just keep coming. 2019's Best Picture nominee Jojo Rabbit curdled my blood.
QuoteLook, filmmakers over the years have made some crazy, bold satires. I saw one last night just before this one from 1970 that was a bold take on skewering racism, and that film worked because it was as pointed as an arrow and hit its aim directly. Jojo Rabbit, on the other hand, misses its aim, and while sequences work the film is not satisfying in the whole. In fact, at times it is downright appalling.
It kind of feels as though it was made to try to top the "Springtime for Hitler" sequence in The Producers in daringness, but the reason that scene worked was due to the aghast reaction shots from the audience, giving the viewer a degree of release. This film lacks that in its opening scenes depicting the training of the Hitler Youth, and I could feel my blood running cold while sequences of screaming crowds were calling out for Hitler against the backdrop of the German version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand". It goes too far. It edges past bold satire, and becomes downright offensive. This film is no The Producers, or To Be or Not to Be, or Life is Beautiful, or The Great Dictator, all films that aimed with direct precision.
Perhaps I am more sensitive than most here. My Great-Great Grandmother was tortured in a concentration camp in the 1940s, simply because one of her parents was Jewish, and according to all accounts my father has told me, she was a devastated broken shell of a woman afterwords who could barely speak. She died in the 1970s, living with over 30 years of terror on her soul.
Moving back into the film, I think you can see why, even though we know the Boy will turn against Hitler and the Nazi cause before the end of the film, why this left me so nonplussed. Every anti-Semetic comment made by the boy or by the other villains was like a knife in the back, over and over again. And while the whole Hitler as imaginary friend routine leads to the best use of the F-word in a film since 1976's The Front, it does not make up for all the pain that it created for me throughout the film, and every one of those scenes screeches the film to a halt.
It also violates the sweetness of some of the later scenes. Toward the end, when its clear that the boy has made a change, there is something sweetly stirring and poignant about it that normally I would embrace in a film. I'm a sucker for sentimentality. But its just left lying there, impacted, because I can't forget how offensive the film was at the start.
Two performances help to make this a bit better than it deserves: Thomasin McKenzie as Elsa, the young Jewish girl who change's Jojo's mind about the Jewish people, and Scarlett Johansson as Rosie, the boy's resistance-fighter mother, one of the best screen mothers in recent memory. Their two scenes alone together are luminous. But the mixture of the twee and and the tasteless never finds its footing otherwise. And only the pain of treating so much evil flippantly and sloppily remains.

I've been catching up with a few of her films today that I hadn't seen before. She is one of our living greats.

I fondly remember 1970's WATERMELON MAN as a kid of about 7, it was on all the time back then Tough in this pc era it's unlikely that comedy will ever see light of day again
It's currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Don't think this one was brought up: Vic Morrow's daugter is Jennifer Jason Leigh, so good in films like The Big Picture, The Hudsucker Proxy, Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle and Dolores Claiborne.

I also enjoyed his script for The Thrill of It All, especially the scene with Doris Day's first TV commercial, where she gets distracted by Reiner himself playing a character who uses the words : " You Pig!" and thus introduces the commercial by saying "Hello, my name is Beverly Boyer, and I'm a pig."

These guys did four films together: "Silver Streak" (1976), "Stir Crazy" (1980), "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" (1989) and "Another You" (1991). It might have been six if they had co-starred in "Blazing Saddles" (1974) and "Trading Places" (1983).
They were originally going to co-star in 1982's Hanky Panky, but Pryor left the production, and the role was turned into a female part which went to Gilda Radner.

I think Hopkins was actually nominated for Best Actor again that year too.....just another one of those choices by the Academy that makes me go

7 hours ago, TopBilled said:I agree with you about 1119...his casting felt gimmicky for some reason. Like oh he had already played one monster (Hannibal Lecter) so let's have him play Nixon as a monster.
1111 is on YouTube. It's a lot of fun. Universal, which controls Paramount films of the 1930s, issued a restored print on DVD.
Regarding Hopkins in Nixon, he got the part over the following people: Tom Hanks, Gene Hackman, Jack Nicholson, Gary Oldman, Tommy lee Jones, John Malkovich, Robin Williams, and Warren Beatty. It seems that Stone cast Hopkins on the basis of Remains of the Day and Shadowlands, not Silence of the Lambs. I kind of feel that the film is a modern day attempt at a Shakesperian type tragedy, because Nixon himself, I felt, was portrayed as a deeply flawed individual brought down by paranoia, but also one who recognized the dangers involved in the era he was leading the country and who did try hard.

It's no Wizard of Oz, but its still a rather fun time to be had. Nipsey Russell and ted Ross were great fun, it was a pleasure to see Lena Horne again, and Mabel King was darkly amusing as the Wicked Witch. Plus those sets are great.

It really depends on the film. There are some films that run about two and a half hours or maybe even three that feel like they need every minute of that time. But others with long runtimes begin to really drag about 30 minutes to an hour before the end. Films years ago generally handled the longer runtimes better. Quite a few films nowadays run for considerable runtimes but the results are hit and miss. i do tend to prefer efficency.

everyone stay calm, I am hijacking this thread...
I thought about bringing this up in the I JUST WATCHED thread, but it actually kinda fits with with our conversation re: THE POSSESSION OF JOEL DELANEY, and also i feel like I'll get more of a response here.
I also note that the following is a direct result of my having too much GD time on my hands as a result of our present situation.
So, I watched BLUE VELVET this weekend for the first time and it made QUITE an impression on me (review in the I JUST WATCHED thread)- I was also struck by LAURA DERN in the film, which made me recall the 1991 film RAMBLING ROSE, which was also (I think) filmed in my hometown and for which DERN and her mother DIANE LADD received OSCAR NOMINATIONS- the first and only instance of a mother and daughter being nominated in the same year or for the same film, which I thought was really sweet (I also had really liked DIANE LADD in WILD AT HEART- for which she was also nominated)
I was about 13 years old, and I really wanted to see the film because- from the little I had heard- it was a Depression era PRETTY WOMAN-meets-THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER sort of comedy...but even after DERN and LADD got nominated- the film played NOWHERE LOCALLY (I doubt it played on many screens) and did not show up on cable and we were all confused. (this was, again 1991- the days before the post 1996 WEINSTEIN ERA OSCARS where the BEST ACTRESS LIST was more often than not mostly/largely/somewhat comprised of actresses you had never heard of in films someone would have to pay you to see.)
I was also STUNNED that DIANE LADD lost (to Mercedes Ruehl for Godsakes) as it seemed like HER YEAR.
And then that summer, RAMBLING ROSE played on PAY-Per-view, WHICH YES, WE STOLE.
And I think my Dad, my sister and I sat down to watch it and HOLY ****.
Not only do I doubt this film would be made today, IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE, and I say that as a very left-leaning sex positive type.
There is a scene where ROBERT DUVALL fondles and [sorry to give you this visual] suckles upon DERN'S bare breasts in front of his children- albeit unknowingly, while the children comment on said suckling.
there is also a scene where DERN engages in a sex act with a 12 year old boy.
In the years since, RAMBLING ROSE has remained pretty much unseen and un-aired, but it just strikes me, like JOEL DELANEY- as a valid case citation in re: "HOLLYWOOD REALLY HAS NO MORALS or DECENCY," an argument that- while those making it are usually awful- I have to say, I can see their point from time to time.
DID ANY OF YOU ALSO SEE THIS PIECE OF TRASH? AM I REMMEBERING WRONG???
And speaking of films that offend, there was a film that rubbed me the wrong way on a moral basis that got praise a few years ago, and that was one I brought up in the worst nomination comment: Captain Fantastic from 2016. i listed Viggo Mortensen's performance among the worst in the Best actor category largely because of the offensiveness of the film. The performers did what they could with that film, but that script was bonkers. It was basically a celebration of fatherhood.... if your idea of a good father was this crazed man who drove his wife to suicide, who walked around fully nude around his young children and among strangers (and isn't there a bit something odd about having a then 56 year old lead to a full frontal nude scene), forces them to live off the grid, gives liquor to clearly underage kids, robs a corpse from a grave, forces his teen daughter into reading Lolita, encourages them to rob from stores, spit on all forms of normal society, denies them normal holidays, to kill animals by slitting their throats, and has not let the kid's grandparents see them at all. Oh, and a 7 year old kid was shown nude from behind twice. The film was a monstrosity.

I don't understand awards. A couple of comments. Personally prefer Iggy Pop (James O.) to Jennifer A. Like Martin S. but Cape Fear and Night and the City didn't need remakes. This thread brings up films I haven't thought of for years. Some were good, some are great, and some qualify as atrocious. The film that started the thread was a dreadful curio. As for awards, performances, etc. in films are memorable, while whether they received an Oscar weren't. I am sure some actors/actresses/etc. would like to forget certain films. For example, you think Tom Hanks wants to be remembered for Bonfire of the Vanities?
i was reading an article earlier in the day about the leadup to the Oscars for the 1993 films. (the year Hanks won for Philadelphia) and one industry person was quoted saying that it was a miracle that Hanks emerged from Bonfire of the Vanities unscathed. For some reason or another, I've heard rumors that Hanks becomes puzzled when his other 1990 film Joe Versus the Volcano comes up, which is strange, because not only is that film charming, but it also performed better on every level than Bonfire.
