@MattD He really had a thing for steeldrums in the 80s. I noticed that if there's anything steeldrummy in the 80s, it's actually from Horner indeed. But he did make millions of things in general anyway.
I watched this movie many years ago.
The genre could be drama or thriller, I dont know for sure.
A young woman falls in love with a older man. I think she worked as a waitress in a small restaurant. However the man later appears to be married.
He also visits the younger woman at her house but h...
Hmm, I didn't really recognize The Force Awakens as that interesting or significant beyond the original Star Wars soundtrack, which is great, but well, which we also know already.
I was rooting for Everything is Awesome last year as I hadn't seen Glory, but when they performed it last year I was all yeah, if that doesn't win the Academy is dumb and deserves whatever hate is thrown their way.
Swear to GOD if 50 Shades gets a fucking Oscar I'm done.
Hmm, I don't know, Chris Rock certainly improved my opinion about him a bit. Other than that, hmm, well, a bit, I don't know, forgettable? Meh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway...
I want to thank everyone who participated in our Oscar chat event this year and wish you a good night!
Now I have my third whisky glass still half full (or half empty?). They rushed that quite a little towards the end, no?
And I'm probably already doing soliloquy. @steelerfan where are you? :'(
Priyanka Chopra will portray the main antagonist in the film adaptation of Baywatch, directed by Seth Gordon, co-starring Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, and Alexandra Daddario.
@DrRDizzle She has pretty face, that's it , nothing else and I do love acting of Priyanka Chopra (she is versatile and one of my fav from India). But i am not into Baywatch
@DrRDizzle I don't give a dam to Oscar and you missed Oscar chat event to discuss this ;P
Acting categories are separated by gender since they have been established (1929 for leading role and 1936 for supporting). I've seen several articles questioning keeping this gender separation on the basis of equal rights (ex. this or this).
I'm wondering if the accusations of sexism have ever ...
it is not a newest film, felt like it was made around 60~90ies.
not a black&white, but a color.
The main plot is that in an intelligent african american officer who wears suit(attorney? detective? not sure) come to investigate series of crime, despite of cynical attitudes of town people about a...
In Hitchcock's Strangers On A Train when Bruno visits Guy after murdering his wife the latter wants to go the police. Bruno stops him, saying that he will be arrested for involvement, i.e. they won't believe that it was Bruno's initiative. Guy later says the same to his fiancee, when she finds ou...
In Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?
I saw the movie 2 times, still it remains a doubt in my mind. Is there any indication in the film why he would do that?
@SQB As per google, "Fantasy is a genre of fiction that uses magic or other supernatural elements as a main plot element, theme, or setting. ", there was no magic in the film and no supernatural stuff either. — Ankit Sharma48 secs ago
It can be migrated but end result will be duplicate close
@AnkitSharma Maybe that's the best option? Then it'll improve M&TV's Bahubali searchability rather than SFF's, and won't set a precedent for people asking about that film on SFF.
@randal'thor On a trivial knowledge one user even asked the same question over Hinduism.se , even when this film has nothing to do with religion and asking for the story of the film.
This inspired me to ask my first baahubali question
I have heard that the name and places of Baahubali: The Beginning are taken from real history. But I have also heard that its quite inspired from Mahabharata for the character of Kattappa which is inspired from Bhishma and it did felt like that. So how much of the film is based on actual history ...
Movie Name : City of God (2002)

Top 5 biggest Oscar surprises: 1. Stallone losing 2. 'The Revenant' losing 3. "This is Ennio Morricone's first Oscar for Best Score" <gape, blink blink> 4. Inexplicable 'By The Sea' namedrop 5. Trump only mentioned twice
I watched yesterday some parts of Punisher: War Zone on Netflix and I noticed that at least one sentence changed since last time some months ago, again on Netflix.
Spoiler of course...
I'm listening to the original English version. I realise now that I switched to 2.0 audio, while last time I...
In almost every movie in James Bond's series, there is always one girl who is entitled as Bond Girl. However, In the Skyfall, who is the Bond Girl? Is it Eve Moneypenny(portrayed by Naomie Harris), or Séverine(portrayed by Bérénice Lim Marlohe)?
A snippet from Wikipedia says:
There are femal...
I saw a movie for about ten years ago.
The only scene I remember is when a man climbs up a tower and sees a woman laying in a bed covered in spiderweb. He thought she was dead, but when he looked in the mirror the woman is suddenly standing behind him and attacks.
I think she is a vampire.
@NapoleonWilson Wow!! I guess that I should have tried to come in here lastnight. You were drinking and talking to yourself again, I see. Haha! Dammit! Sorry I missed it!! I'm here now!!
@NapoleonWilson Awww, aren't you just too adorable. I would have come in if I could. I didn't get home until midnight and then I crashed :(
I had to go get a flight so that I could console my boyfriend and fly back home. I mean, I was busy! ;)
I'm not even going to watch the Oscars. My sister told me that it was lame and forgettable and that they stayed on the diversity thing too much. She said Lady Gaga was good. I'm just glad DiCaprio won. I know that I'm in the minority.
@NapoleonWilson Yeah, I have no reason to watch it now. I'm not watching anything this morning because I don't really care about who was best dressed and an Oscar fashion breakdown ;)
@steelerfan Better than I had expected based on his previous moderation.
Though, he disappeared quite a bit towards the end.
In general it felt yet again a bit rushed. I don't think that initiative of shortening the whole thing that they started some years ago was really a good idea.
Neither did they really include any additional show acts, like e.g. a performance of all the nominated scores as they did some years ago. Or stuff like that.
I don't know. It kinda feels like if Will Smith gets nominated next year it will have an asterisk next to it. I don't know, just my opinion I guess ;) I'm kinda sick of hearing about it and I didn't even watch the Oscars.
So, we are finding out when we are going to Vegas today!!! Woot!! My dad should be calling me in a few hours!!
Sometime in Season 4, Reid changes his standard carry piece from a semi-automatic pistol (like all the other agents) to a revolver. I found plenty of speculation as to why, but nothing solid.
Is there any indication - either on-screen or word-of-god - for why the character made such a change?
@NapoleonWilson Exactly. I don't think Will Smith won, but he was nominated. I would just feel like a complete ass if I were black and nominated next year. I would just feel like I didn't earn it. Meh. Oh, well ;)
@NapoleonWilson Will Smith didn't deserve a nomination this year anyways. Sorry, I really have no sympathy for him and his annoying wife. The guy from Creed was the one who deserved a nomination, IMO.
Meh. But, I have personal feelings about the subject matter, so I don't know. He didn't deserve a nomination for that role by any means. I really don't have sympathy for multi-millionaires.
Mad Max came away with the most wins at 6, but they weren't for any "big" categories. Mainly artistic and technical, though Ex Machina won for best VFX.
@MattD Um, seriously, Ex Machina was really good, but you don't really need to give that film the VFX Oscar. Give it screenplay, or set design, or acting.
I dunno, read an article last night that made a pretty good case for why Ex Machina winning what it did was good because the film had a crazy small budget of only $15 million.
@DrRDizzle Eh, but can't CGI do anything perfectly realistic nowadays anyway? Didn't really strike me as that groundbreaking. Meh, maybe I just didn't notice.
@DrRDizzle I always forget that with every movie, because well, as I said, CGI is simply not distinguishable from reality nowadays in pretty much every film. But granted.
It was only up against two other movies, one of which was likely heavier on makeup, but it's more about world building, and in that end Mad Max achieved gloriously.
Looking at the numbers, Mad Max was up for 10 awards and snagged 6, for a 60% nomination to win outcome. The Revenant had the most at 12 but snagged a paltry 3, so only 25% nom to win ratio. Spotlight was up for 6 and snagged 2, for a 33% ratio.
@MattD Star Wars: The Force Awakens didn't deserve dick anyway. But I do really, really like The Martian, which I'm sure will have more longevity than The Revenant will.
Cinematographer is one of those thankless jobs noone ever cares about and where you then suddenly have people who surprisingly won like 3 awards already but you don't know their names at all.
@MattD I don't ever recognise his work, but whenever someone asks me about one of his films I'm always "Yeah, that was a really good looking film. Oh, it was Deakins?"
@NapoleonWilson Yes. Unfortunately. I hated it. I just wanted to strangle Anastasia. I couldn't relate to her at all. Don't even get me started on Christian Grey. Ugh.
