    Fallout (Amazon Prime)

    My apologies for the hit and run question, but I don't want to spoilerize myself by reading the thread. How is Fallout? Are people enjoying it? I am shy about investing in a series if it sucks :) Any general opinions welcome! Thanks!

    Rust

    I hope she serves most of it.

    Bond 26

    That would be very inspired casting! Much in the same way that burning your house down is inspired renovations!

    Poor Things (2023)

    Incidentally, the Apple digital copy of Poor Things features a title slate at the very beginning. "Contains Tobacco Depictions" I find that hilarious, given the content in the film which includes full front nudity, (lots) of sex, stabbing cadavers, a man shooting himself in the foot, handling...

    Parents who ignore film ratings and take their kids to completely inappropriate movies should have their parents license revoked.

    Poor Things (2023)

    Agree to disagree. Bella shows a lot of compassion towards her fellow humans in her desire to improve the world. She seems on a constant quest to learn how to do that. I think you are ignoring several scenes that indicate that. She also shows Max love towards the end, asking him if he will...

    Poor Things (2023)

    As you pointed out yourself in another message in this thread, that's not entirely true. The scene you pointed out with the poor people 'in the ditch', as she said, completely contradicts your point. She makes several references to how humans can improve, and her desire to make the world...

    Poor Things (2023)

    Easily my favourite film of the year, and, one of those rare films that buries itself in your brain. I found it impossible to get out of my head after the initial viewing, so I saw it twice in theatres. Once released on streaming, it was an instant buy. The Oscars the film won in the early...

    I don't mind the little speeches so much, but there are always a handful of them that sound forced and not very sincere.

    Ehh. Once you say something like that, you can't really take it back and say sorry. I mean, you can, just don't expect everybody to forget what a jerk thing that was to say.

    It's puzzling as heck that the Academy has SO many different ways they've tried this, and they never learn their lessons about what works and what doesn't. I'm pretty sure that they messed it up so badly this time that they will hear about it - loudly.

    The story that Jake linked said it was a creative decision to have Pacino just read the winner, they were worried about time. If they had given him a line or two on the prompter, he would have read them.
