Somehow I think Hollywood will win, but not for the right reasons


It finally dawned on me what Tarantino was going for, clear Oscar bait. There is absolutely nothing remarkable about it whatsoever, it’s decently made and acted but it was extremely disappointing.

The Irishman is clearly the better movie, but Hollywood will win because it’s a love letter to the golden age, nothing more. What a joke.

they were both good.

I fell asleep during Hollywood and Marriage Story.

In that case, you might have missed the ending. Both films end with white text scrolling upward over a black background. The text showed the people who were in it, the characters they played as well as the cast. Quite riveting stuff.

reply

Are you joking? About scrolling text being riveting? Or I missed an opportunity to see 2 great films?

reply

There's nothing riveting about closing credits.

reply

I've always watched closing credits. It used to be just because with no internet I wanted to see all the songs, but I still watch just because someone needs to appreciate assistants, booms, and all who never get any credit.

Nothing about the Oscars changes our lives. Don't invest too much in it.
