May Movies: Aladdin, Godzilla, John Wick & Rocketman
Mark Vader replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall Archives
The point is that the movies with political messaging and so forth, are the ones that are recognized and glamorized for being "cutting edge" and "thought provoking" and hailed as "the greatest ever made". Hollywood loves to reward movies that are in step with their ideology. How else does a movie like "Argo" win tons of awards or "Get Out" gets a best picture nomination. Yes, the big budget movies get all the box office receipts, but they are viewed as frivolous and not viewed as serious awards material. If they did, then movies like "The Dark Knight" would have gotten a best picture nomination. The Box Office receipts keep Holly wood rolling, but the year end awards do matter to them as well. -

How often do those movies get nominated for best picture? -
I think Duke Williams & David Sills V, have a realistic shot to make the 53 man roster. Robert Foster, Zay Jones, John Brown & Cole Beasley are the only WR's I see as locks to make the team. Probably Andre Roberts too since he is a KR. After that there are 2-3 spots at the WR position that are wide open.

I love what Matt Reeves did with the last two installments of the recent Planet of the Apes series, so I would be very interested in seeing his approach to Batman. This however, is just a sorry way to go. -
I'm not saying the Sharks didn't get robbed on those non-calls, they did. That was clearly delay of game, and a blatant slash on Haley. I just hate that everyone will be talking about that play at the end if the game, saying how the Sharks only won because of luck. It ruins a very thrilling game.
-
Which is why I hate that this non-call takes away from the Sharks persevering and forcing this game into overtime. That is the play that everyone will remember.

Wow! The Blues have every right to be furious, that looked like a hand pass. I'm thrilled the Sharks came back and won, but the controversial ending feels uneasy.

That is an interesting take. Adds more to the mystique and power of Ghidorah. Unlike in the older movies where the monsters would be controlled by beings from outer space. -

Political messaging and social awareness has become more important in movie making, than artistic vision and talent. Sad but true fact. -
Impressive

Same here, and the early buzz is very positive. -
Called my mom today, and thanked her for all she has done for me and my family. Love you, Mom.
