She looks amazing. That smile

Thanks for the updates.

I am not surprised "What I was made for" won. It really is a great song.

Paul Giamatti has won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actor in a Comedy/Musical for The Holdovers. Not surprised - and well deserved.

Poor Things has won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Comedy/Musical.

Lily Gladstone has won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Drama for Killers of the Flower Moon.

Oppenheimer has won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Drama.

And….that’s a wrap! The Golden Globes only ran four minutes over! Nice job!

I think the Oscar nominations come out in a couple of weeks.

Shall we do a separate thread for the award show season for movies?

Yes. For all the awards.

Box Office Mojo - U.S. Domestic 2024 Weekend 1

Hmm. I wonder which movie will eventually take over the number one spot from Wonka. Mean Girls?

Great job by the designer in recreating the original look of 1977 Superstar Barbie. There were a lot of winning looks on the red carpet this year, although Emma Stone wasn't one of them, IMO. I thought the hair and makeup were a little too understated with such a pale dress. It made her look washed out. A person's eyebrows shouldn't be the most memorable thing about their appearance. Don't get me wrong, I love Emma, I just didn't love this look for her. And now I sound like the fashion police, LOL.

I haven’t seen Poor Things yet, and now that Stone was for Best Actress Comedy and the movie won Best Motion Picture Comedy last night, I think I will put it on my list to see next in theaters - maybe next weekend.

I think it is worth seeing. Weird but interesting. Mark Ruffalo is really good.

There is no way I'm getting Mr Mac to see Poorer Things. I will have to wait for streaming.

Speaking of which, we streamed Blue Beetle this weekend and it was really fun. I do think the first half before he gets the beetle could have been cut in half. But once the action gets going, it's a fun romp.

Paul Giamatti has won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actor in a Comedy/Musical for The Holdovers. Not surprised - and well deserved.

Poor Things has won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Comedy/Musical.

And this is apparently where Paul Giamatti celebrated his Golden Globe win.

Yep….still in his tux and his award on the table with the food.

I want to see Poor Things so badly but I live too far north for nice things. And by nice things I specifically mean getting to see limited release movies before they become available digitally. I just hope it's available before the Oscars. I don't even need it to be on a streaming site I'll pay for it in iTunes if I have to.

I have similar issues here Though our theatre hasn't been updated since 1995 so often watching at home (with a pretty good home theatre set up) is the better option anyway.

Ours has been partially updated but it's still pretty dingy. I love going to the theatre, I just wish ours wasn't the movie theatre equivalent to a dive bar.

I am so thankful that we have a great cinema here in Hobart which shows everything, including quite a few major releases and most of the arthouse movies or special screenings. It has a range of cinema sizes. Two of the small ones have couches with cushions. Always happy to get to see a movie in cinemas 5 & 8.

I went to see The Book of Clarence today. A fun movie, dark humor and pretty well done. Lakeith Stanfield was excellent in two different roles, Omar Sy was great, and James MacAvoy and Alfre Woodard were both very good in small roles. A good movie, not a great one, but a fun 2 hours in the theater.

Peacock will be streaming Oscar frontrunner "Oppenheimer" (exclusively) beginning February 16th.

 

[Davy88gtbwxyc]

"Seeking Fire" is a docu about the FIRE movement - Financial Independence Retire Early. It's pretty cool, showing different people trying to save heaps of cash to quit their jobs early. The film makes you think about what's important in life, not just about money. It's easy to follow, even if you're not a money expert.

But, it's a bit too optimistic. The film doesn't show the hard parts of living super frugal. Also, it might not click with everyone, especially if you're dealing with money troubles.

Overall, it's an okay watch. It's inspiring, but don't take it as a complete guide to early retirement.

I went to see The Holdovers yesterday. Such a great movie. Really nice storytelling and performances.

I first saw Paul Giamatti in Howard Stern's Private Parts. He reminds me of Stanley Tucci who is one of those actors that kind of flies under the radar in terms of big names but is excellent in every part he plays.

I also loved how they it had such a 70s feel about it, right down to the Titles and Credits.

I’m excited to see The Holdovers when it’s available to rent on Amazon Prime. Speaking of Paul Giamatti, if you’re intrigued by American history, I highly recommend watching the miniseries John Adams. IMHO, it’s probably one of the best adaptations of that time period (1770-1820).

Da’Vine Joy Rudolph just won the Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe for The Holdovers. I’m pleasantly shocked. She was great, but I thought Emily Blunt was going to win for Oppenheimer.

Robert Downey, Jr. won Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe for Oppenheimer.

Shall we do a separate thread for the award show season for movies?

And just now she won the Critics Choice award. Will she sweep awards season?

I am between football games and am returning to the second game.

Maybe - and it looks like Oppenheimer will as well. But we know what happened at the Oscars as recently as in 2019 (Parasite, favorite was 1917) and 2021 (CODA, I think the favorite was West Side Story).
