Instead of doing a list of Oscar predictions filled with films I didn’t care for,I’m gonna do a thread of the films that I thought deserved recognition in some categories instead (🧵 below)
The funnest thing is that the OG video is just a Japanese driver driving the slowest bus in existence but someone sped it up and added Cantonese cries for help on top of it,one of the best edits online of all time
I'm begging you to understand
Showing this to your hairdresser will get you the same haircut... But it will not look good on you. You will cry.
It will take years to recover.
Just don't.

So happy he’s now successful and accomplished but man the unimaginative casting of Hollywood as endless variations of Gus Fring is honestly such a waste of his good talent
It makes me so bloody angry millennial twitter tried to spin Licorice Pizza with some bad faith reading into some taboo film when the film is so innocent and honors one of the greatest actor’s legacy and his collab with PTA
RIP to the poor souls who’s also making great short films this year they got no chance against celeb self jerk shorts and if they win over them they gonna be attacked by the stans

Lynch was philosophical about the reasons for that decision: “Snootworld is kind of an old fashioned story and animation today is more about surface jokes. Old fashioned fairytales are considered groaners: apparently people don’t want to see them. It’s a different world now and…

Remember when Dunst’s MJ is about a working class girl escaping poverty trying to survive minimum wage jobs and shitty bosses while pursuing her career as a actress in Broadway,and she actually has a life outside Parker,remind me what Zendaya’s character is all about again? Lol

Parasite being the only Korean film on the S&S list pretty much sums up why I think despite all the progress being made by Bong being recognized world wide ultimately most western audiences are content to just stop there

How many of you have genuinely tried to fly?
GENUINELY.
How many of you have researched, trained, and truly TRIED to fly?
NONE OF YOU.
Why?
Because you think it’s impossible.
You’ve never pushed yourself because you believe the goal can never be achieved.

Alex Garland discourse is evolving into another “I knew he was always bad from the beginning” discourse like Soho did to Edgar,Men may be very much what people say it is,but the contrarian take that Ex Machina is also a “im one of the good ones” movie is so weird lol

It’s kinda weird that whenever Rohody is in the red blue and white armor he always gets manipulated and controlled by the villain in IM2 & IM3,I think even the films suggest it to be a propaganda front for the military,that’s quite literally a plot point in IM2😭

Reading the full Céline Sciamma interview and the most egregious thing isnt even the 3 hour movie bit. Immediately after she says that she's laughed more at TikTok that at movie theaters and that tiktok is like owning the means of production, then compares it to Agnes Varda films
