The movie thread

I am still in shock that Ennio Morricone has only just now won an Oscar for composing. . And Leo thought he waited long.. he has no idea.

I didn't believe you, I went to google ... I thought he won for the mission

Wow, shocking!

Academy awards are like an old school tie..... Yet unfortunately people still use them to gauge success.... I watched about 30 minutes the other night and between cringing and yawning I went to bed.... About as useful as the Grammies

Yeah. I know hey.. shocking. . He has been composing since the spaghetti western days.. (whistles the good the bad and the ugly).. we talking some very very memorable music during the years.. it's unforgiveable that he only now won..

 

 

Not that the Oscars I think mean anything to him

The oscars are supposed to be an acknowledgement from your peers , like a Loerie in the ad industry, so I think it's definitely a tick box in the list of achievements.

I never watch it, I want to see Chris Rocks opening speech though, apparently it was good - should be interesting if race quotas hit the oscars.

It's like being the most popular patient in the nut house.

Kind of... But it is very biased towards the major studios..... And let's face it.. The only reason why game of spies (or whatever it is called) was nominated was because it's a spielberg film..... And then Chris rock.. The academy purposefully let him loose on his agenda of inequality so they could be like "look what we are doing now to address this".... The only problem is they caused the problem in the first place.... Sound like something local that begins with an A and ends with a C?

Your claim to fame?

Your claim to fame?

Of course, and I am glad you noticed, though I am sure it's a case of, "It takes one to know one"

its a small yet subtle thing..but take notice of the plethora of catholic churches in the background of lots of scenes

Good story, quite a slow start though.

That movie was brought up this morning by the "Auusie citizen journo" 702 has on in the morning in relation to the Cardinal Pell case.

It was honestly VERY entertaining. Not your traditional superhero flick. Very, VERY funny. Typical Ryan Reynolds, but as a superhero. 

Yeah, I dunno, I didn't enjoy Deadpool, actually I was ready to leave half way,....maybe I am just too old for superhero's! 

 

I did think The Revenant was excellent though, so no issue with Leonardo grabbing the Oscar there.

['Dale]

Ah the scenery from Revenant

Wow

 

Leo was okay

That CGIed teddy bear mauling scene was intense
