It's Art Basel time.

I'm a bit irritated how apple wants to gain costumers with this movie when it's not even exclusive on their platform

Thanks I watch it right now. Montgomery Clift is really handsome but a bit dickish so far. Elizabeth Taylor is drop dead gorgeous no wonder he falls for her head over heels. Edit: Ok I'm halfway through and I fear he's more than "a bit dickish" 🙈🤣 I can clearly see the parallels to KOTFM. This Montgomery dude is really good you can tell exactly what he's thinking just by the look of his face. Overall a surprisingly watchable movie. Looks like he had a troubled short life. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/09/scandals-of-classic-hollywood-montgomery-clift

I got my copy of "The Heiress" I also bought again "Dance with wolves" - this time the theatrical cut. I've heard this cut is much better than the overlong extended version (too many unnecessary scenes what hurts not only the pace of the story but weaks it). I'm just too curious which I like better 😁 "A Place in the Sun" is on paramount+. What's the connection here to KOTFM?

Stunning

^ Now I want to watch it very badly

Theatrical or extended cut? Just curious 😁 Pls give reviews of The Heiress and A Place in the Sun. I'm not very much into such old movies (beside from the aesthetics). But if you say they're worth the watch I'll give it a try

^Also watched "Dance with wolves" the other day and now I'm really wondering how people are complaining about the length (and pace) of KOTFM when this fuck*ng overwhelmingly successful movie is 4 damn hours long AND VERY SLOW PACED (I watched it in 2 days to be honest lol). Loved it by the way. Any thoughts? I have no idea if it's aged well.... Loved this little fella Also what is it with Hollywood letting white men standing thoughtful in cornfields and touching it at some point? lol However the visuals in this movie are simply breathtaking Sometimes it almost felt so authentic like a documentary.

🧡🖤 @Sugarwater It just sucks people can't live together side by side in peace. I won't ever understand why we have to steal, hurt, suppress and murder each other. I'm beyond sorry your folk is going through the same shit for ages because some dumbheads still feel superior.

Loved it. And loved Tom Blyth as young Coriolanus Snow. What a divine evil creature 😍

^Speaking of climate change I wonder if DLU director Adam McKay is secretly dreaming of another Leo collaboration with this new project. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I LOVED Don't Look Up so I wouldn't mind another movie of them. Adam McKay to Direct Climate Change Drama

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Available on VOD December 5, 2023 [Updated] UPDATE: Apple/Paramount have switched the VOD release date of the film to December 5th, 2023. That’s right, ‘Killers’ will be available to rent this coming Tuesday. The date change no doubt could have to do with its impressive NYFCC win or just the fact that it’s not been doing well at the box-office.

Now that I have finally watched both movies I think I liked KOTFM better overall. Not just for Leo. Franz Rogowski (german actor) beating his strong american competition at NYFC awards is quite surprising. #me putting PASSAGES asap on my watchlist Best Picture Race: ‘Oppenheimer’ or ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’? With today’s Best Film win at NYFCC, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is now very much in the race to win the Oscar for Best Picture. The only film currently standing in its way also happens to be the frontrunner, and that’s “Oppenheimer.” How great is it to potentially have an awards season with Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan going head to head. Their films deserve all the love that they’re going to be getting these next few weeks. ”Killers of the Flower Moon” is richly atmospheric and character-driven to a tee. What ‘Killers’ does is hold and fascinate you in a step-by-step fashion, and it radiates profound moral grief and heartache. It’s three hours of scheming and murder, edited via multiple different genres — romance, western, whodunit. The way Scorsese tells the story is also rather unconventional. You’re never sure where the story is headed or why, nothing is obvious. What ‘Killers’ amounts to is a real and lived in world and it’s absolute fire-in-your-belly cinema. It’s also very measured and matter of fact in its clinical execution. It’s one of Scorsese’s steadiest, and most methodical depictions of morally toxic individuals. “Oppenheimer” is Nolan’s boldest, most dense film and one that comes into clearer focus on subsequent viewings. I’ve seen in three times and it only gets better as a film. Even at three hours, the amount of story that Nolan packs into “Oppenheimer” cannot enough convey everything that he has to say. “Oppenheimer” closely resembles “Dunkirk” in the way it manages to weave countless storyline structures into this magnificent whole. This is a messy, sprawling, operatic statement from Nolan. It’s also technically masterful. Incredibly exciting to behold, a mosaic of intellectual cinema drenched onto the screen. There’s so much going on, in almost every frame, that it’d be foolish for one to believe that he or she can fully grasp it in just a single viewing. I can’t wait to see it again. Here’s your chance to chime in. I gather many of you have seen both films, hopefully on the big screen — which one deserves it more? Both are 3+ hour epics with some of the finest filmmaking of the year, but what’s been the bigger achievement? I’d have to give a slight edge to Scorsese’s film. Don’t get me wrong, both ‘Killers’ and “Oppenheimer” have flaws to them, but their ambitions and the risks they take are soaringly exciting. Forget about “Barbie,” both of these films marked the year in American cinema.

Not Leo but his new bestie 🥰

Leo being supportive of Lily again

Even the girls of Lainey seeing it LOL Another big winner is Lily Gladstone, who won Outstanding Lead Performance for The Unknown Country. Leonardo DiCaprio wasn’t nominated, but as he has done all year, he showed up for Lily, and this is EASILY the most I have liked Leo outside of his performances. It’s almost endearing how willing he is to be there for Lily’s sake, if not his own. Source Although I wonder if they realize they are as dickish as Cal putting Jack/Leo down with the "almost" line.

I guess I have to watch PAST LIVES and MAY DECEMBER next.

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Available on VOD January 25, 2024 A VOD release date has been set for Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The film will be made available digitally on January 25, 2024. That’s just two days after the Oscar nominations get announced — Paramount/Apple clearly trying to bank on the hype. It’s also almost four months after its October 20th theatrical release.

It's probably for the best. Not every successful movie has to be turned into a freaking franchise. Margot Robbie Says A ‘Barbie’ Sequel Might Not Happen Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” grossed $1.4 billion worldwide which then led to Mattel immediately greenlighting 14 films, all now in various stages of development, this did not include an inevitable sequel for “Barbie.” Margot Robbie’s recent comments, expressing doubts about a “Barbie” sequel should not be taken seriously. Here she is speaking to the AP: I think we put everything we had into this one. We didn’t build it to be a trilogy or something. Greta [Gerwig] put everything into this movie, so I can’t imagine what would be next.
