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

I love him!

I know! 🤩 It’s criminal that he never got a Golden Globe or Emmy nomination for Andor. I believe Skarsgård won a Golden Globe and/or Emmy for the HBO miniseries Chernobyl.

The chatter on the various movie subreddits is that Sean Penn (OBAA) is the current frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor, with Skarsgård and Paul Mescal (Hamnet) running second and third. The fourth and fifth nomination slots are apparently wide open between Adam Sandler (Jay Kelly), Benicio del Toro (OBAA), Delroy Lindo (Sinners), Jeremy Strong (Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere), Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), and Jonathan Bailey (Wicked: For Good). 🍿

But does Sean Penn really need a third Oscar……and right now?

Finally saw ‘One battle after another’. Well made and well acted movie. Not really my kind but it became interesting after the first 1/4. Nice cinematography and editing too. Expect many Oscar nominations. Sean Penn will have a good shot at supporting actor. Leo was very good but the best lead actor race has not yet started.
 
Well, i finally watch the new naked gun on the airplane coming home… everything that was funny in the movie was in the trailer, the trailer was an A+, and the movie itself was a D or a C I couldn’t believe it. The premise in the storyline was so juvenile boy, but not in a sophisticated, funny way, like the original naked gun. I mean the villain had a toy to make everybody go crazy? What a stupid story line.

Yeah, I started watching it at home and thought it was stupid. Too bad.

It's also very, very familiar. The first Kingsman movie had an extremely similar premise.
 
New British film - Fackham Hall. Written by Jimmy Carr. Spoof of Downtown Abby.

 
I'll wait until they are both on streaming before I attempt that!
Me, too. I haven’t watched the first one yet because I’m waiting for the second to come out. I’ve read the book and seen the musical. I’ll read the Wikipedia article (I need spoilers or I get very stressed out) and wait patiently.
 
some theaters are having a wicked double feature. I'm tempted. I think I can live with the 5 + hr run time high off sugar and caffeine. I'm afraid it will be full of children who need a nap.

Yep. I’m seeing it offered at 11am on November 20 in most theaters.

Also, Wicked is currently available for free streaming on Prime Video. I’ll probably do that in preparation for seeing Wicked: For Good on November 20.
