Fraser was very good in a film that I found largely underwhelming and not one of Aronofsky's best. It was too stagey. Fraser was the anchor that held it together. The best actor race is a strong category this year. Of the 3 I have seen so far, I place Fraser as my 3rd choice. I thought I might...

Thank you for posting those images. Further proof that the film advertising and presentations of an era now passed, was far superior and so much more inviting. Growing up in Auckland, I recall seeing many of those films advertised. Some were at the Cinerama on Queen St. and some at other CBD...

This is really one of the most convoluted and messy film franchises from a slasher film series. Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street came with fantasy elements attributed to them, with FT13th part 6 turning Jason into an unstoppable zombie. They could bend and flex these series into...

I have an opportunity tomorrow to see it in Digital, but on a 17m wide screen with Dolby Atmos so may be worth it.

I don't know how Tony's character was portrayed in Laurents original play, yet having Kushner and Spielberg portray him as an ex-con who made an angry mistake, (this works in well with the salt factory rumble sequence and Tony getting triggered after trying to keep his cool), is not detrimental...

I won't get an opportunity to see this in 70mm, but digital will be fine. It hasn't been shot in the 2.20:1 ratio, but scope and it appears the prints have been cropped for this: https://www.in70mm.com/news/2022/nile/index.htm

He then would have umbrage with Spielberg for whatever reason. Its not the film itself. Has he even seen it?

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you feel the same way?

Nope! The is your own imperilistic opinion which is subjective.

I would be keen to know what aspects of Spielberg's WSS you find lousy, insulting and disrespectful?

I was reading the Hollywood terminolgy and the confusion created. You must be part of the Oscar PR team.

This is why these award shows are just really about pomp and ceremony. It promotes and endorses the industry. They may hold meaning for those that can agree with the choices made, yet since best is all subjective and time will mark a classic, (and classic for whom?), most of it is about...

And Spielberg's WSS is in nowhere near lousy. I like to see it as a film standing on its own, within its own merits. Its been 60yrs since the original version of the stage production. Many wouldn't even know of the original, or perhaps even the musical itself. A buddy of mine, same generation...

Not really, because it has already been made before so technically and objectively it is. I just didn't refer to it as a remake so to speak, but a reboot. I think Spielberg referred to it as a re-imagining or something similar.
