Let's Talk Movies #36 - 2020 - Yep it is a new decade

[vgerdes]

Searchlight Pictures just released the poster for A Complete Unknown.

Good gawd. This just screams: “TIMOTHÉE WANTS AN OSCAR!!!”

Keep in mind that we also have serious Oscar buzz for Daniel Craig (Queer), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), Joaquin Phoenix (Joker: Folie à Deux), and Paul Mescal (Gladiator II), plus who knows who else.

If Chalamet ends up doing his career like Bradley Cooper, I’m going to be so disappointed.

I'm actually getting excited for this movie. I hope he does Dylan justice. As a Minnesotan born and bred, Bob Dylan is pretty iconic to me.

As for Timmy jonesing for an Oscar... I personally think he should have been recognized for Dune Part 2. But what do I know.

Lionsgate has put out another trailer for Megalopolis.

And…….we now have a second trailer for Wicked!

Bit late to the party but I saw D&W on the weekend

For a minute there, I thought you saw Davis and White on the weekend, heh.

We have some winners for the Venice International Film Festival!

Queer and Joker: Folie à Deux are empty handed! I guess we can add The Room Next Door (which still looks to me), The Brutalist, and Babygirl (especially Nicole Kidman) to the Oscar watchlist.

Meanwhile, over at A24……

Between Queer and now The Brutalist, has A24 buried Sing Sing for its Oscar campaign?

Box Office Mojo - U.S. Domestic Box Office: Weekend 36.

Notable opening next week: I guess….The 4:30 Movie?? Anyone a Kevin Smith fan?

I can hardly wait to see it .. I hate waiting though

It really is amazing that the show made it. Even the Monty Python folks felt attempting a live show was madness. And now here we are nearly fifty years later.

Donald Trump biopic 'The Apprentice' sets pre-election release date

“The Apprentice” premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where it immediately turned into a sociopolitical lightning rod. Trump's campaign blasted it as "malicious defamation."

And we now have a trailer! In theaters on October 11.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Guess what? We’re getting a sequel to The Goonies!!!!

 

[vgerdes]

I find it amusing that we got a trailer for "The Apprentice" on the day of the presidential debate. Well-timed.

Except the more I’ve thought about it since watching the trailer, the more I think The Apprentice will actually be terrible. October 13 is the same date that Saturday Night will be opening nationwide.

Saturday Night is expected to open in NYC, LA, and Toronto on September 27. I’m jealous.

I will watch this for nostalgia's sake so I hope it's good.

Is anyone excited to see the last showgirl? The article I read over the weekend said that possibly get used to hearing the phrase Oscar nominee, Pamela Anderson!!

It’s also said that once again, Jamie Lee Curtis also turns in a brilliant performance

Toronto: Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman Take Big Swings In, Are Serious Contenders for 'Queer' and 'Babygirl' — The Hollywood Reporter

The Hollywood A-listers have earned raves for their performances, even if some are less enthusiastic about the films in which they appear.

apple.news

I have heard the Kidman movie is not that great but I hear the Daniel Craig movie Queer is great

Craig leaves it all out there, literally and figuratively. It's a total transformation unlike anything we've ever seen him do before, at least onscreen (he's a wonderful stage actor too). Rolling Stone called it "the role of a lifetime" and "a milestone in his career," while The Hollywood Reporter's review described Craig's efforts as "a transfixing performance."

Babygirl is scheduled to be in theaters on December 25, which puts it in direct competition with A Complete Unknown (Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet).

Queer was just acquired by A24 for distribution. I haven’t seen a release date, yet, but a lot of people on the oscarrace subreddit are upset that it seems like A24 has dropped Sing Sing as their “big campaign” for the awards season. Apparently, Colman Domingo is fantastic in that film.

'Queer' is a pretentious, if visually appealing, slog


Though Daniel Craig delivers a gripping performance, "Queer" is more likely to leave you shaken not stirred.

From what I've seen on Reddit The Life of Chuck winning People's Choice Film shakes some things up Oscar wise. No one was really expecting it to win. I think Anora, Emilia Pérez and The Brutalist were the favourites.

Not at all shocked at a Tragically Hip doc winning there. They are/were one of the biggest bands in Canada.

I’m not sure now how the Oscars will shake up. Aren’t the Golden Globe nominations typically announced in early/mid December? The problem is when Nightb***h (December 6), Babygirl (December 20), and A Complete Unknown (December 25) are expected to release in theaters.

From what I understand Nightbitch isn't likely to be much of a player. The Life of Chuck does need to a distributor though that is true. Mike Flanagan has a deal with Amazon now for his shows, maybe they'll want to give him a shot on an Oscar run.

And……we have another teaser trailer for Megalopolis!

There’s an IMAX special event of this movie (with live interviews of Coppola and others) on Monday night, 9/23 in select theaters. I’m considering going seeing this early on Thursday evening. I’m thinking this will either be spectacular or FLOP. No middle ground.

It could be both. I'm expecting a record-breaking weekend because of the epic train wreck factor.

Well, coming out of the festivals, a lot of the critics’ reviews about Joker: Folie à Deux have been very mixed. But when I look at showings at the AMCs and Regals in my area (Northern Virginia), there’s times for almost every hour from 10/3 to 10/6.

I guess this means that Megalopolis has only about one week to make a statement. Saturday Night (10/11) is opening nationwide the week after Joker. And then we’ll be getting practically nonstop floods of everything that’s being campaigned for awards season.

For those of you who are fans of his work, here’s info about Baz Luhrmann’s next film.

And……we now have a poster for Conclave. I dig it.
