OT: 74th Obsequious Banter Thread: Remember That Mike Vecchione Guy?

Perhaps. I can’t say I really follow that stuff in depth. That’s the first time I saw him talk outside of a movie role in a long time.

He also suffers from MAJOR anxiety.

I'm not saying i'm disagreeing with the notion that the role isn't good for people's mental health though, I just think he's always been off.

So wait a second,

Gigi Hadid, one of the world's most famous models, is a potential juror for the Harvey Weinstein case?

How is that possible? What are the chances of out of all of the people in NYC that she be one of the potential jurors?

*We all know that she won't be chosen, especially because the media was given permission to name her.

That's absolutely brilliant. @LegionOfDoom91 is going to LOVE that.

I'm no film critic but Uncut Gems not getting nominated for one single Academy Award is a sham.

Also, while I enjoyed Joker the fact that it leads all films with 11 nominations is also a sham.

Francesa got robbed of a Best Supporting Actor nomination.

Oscars usually choose relevant movies and rarely impactful ones, though they slip in and don’t win a lot. 5-10 years out they look dated.

It also feels at times like a legacy award where they feel an actor is just “due” and get the award machine going. Phoenix is one of the best actors of his generation, same thing for Brad Pitt. Not saying noms weren’t deserved, but is this really what they should win them for — which is basically a foregone conclusion? I think they’ve done better work. Or conversely, they give it to an up-and-comer to anoint them.

I’m not saying HC here but in general it feels like a lot of hysteria is basically people wanting everything & anything to be nominated. At least that what I gathered from people complaining on Twitter today.

I like movies that probably aren’t critically acclaimed because they’re fun watches but I don’t mistake that for being serious award worthy.

Whichever one is running the promo currently

If neither are offering free money for rides then whichever one is closer

I don’t think playing the Joker in a serious take is good for one’s health these days. Phoenix is looking like a whack job recently.

He looked/sounded like crazy at that Oscar’s or whatever the other day & I believe he got arrested at some climate change protest thing the following day or whatever.

He habitually goes through these cycles of insanity.

By playing the Joker he probably had to act the least of all the Jokers. He probably has to act hardest when he's trying to portray a sane person.

Both are functional and I make no distinction between them

This Ukranian mom is very nice. Her daughter is really quite smoking hot also. And bat**** crazy.

Joker getting 11 Oscar Noms is, pardon the pun, f***ing comical.

Should have been nominated for 2: Best Actor & Best Score.

He’s a bachelor for at least another episode.

You joke, but it is, at the least, a plausible possibility this season that he isnt.

Isn’t that the premise of every season?

No, generally they have to wait until the end and then choose a woman (or man, for the bachelorette). There isnt really an 'out' clause for them.

You know who is a lot of people's heavy favorite? Lizzo.

heard a new show is on, called hot and heavy. think it may be right up your alley.

Facepalm.

Facepalm.

For the Craig films Chris Cornell >>> jack white/Alicia Keyes and Adele. I forget who did spectre but it wasn’t memorable. This is probably going to be not memorable.

Seeing it today.

Also 100% agree with the Joker take. Can't see why that was nominated for Best Picture. I thoroughly enjoyed Uncut Gems and Knives out more, and thought they deserved noms even though they were unlikely to win.
