Nah, I think you saw the wrong movie try again. She was awesome. Whether she deserve to win an award for that is up to you

That's a good one. Just watching Eight Mile, I felt parts of it resonating with the things I saw in lower-class urban towns. I wasn't necessarily a street hood growing up, but even in my limited experiences I could feel 8 Mile resonating.

Haha I do. When I saw this opening weekend, I was afraid to leave the theater.

Reply to How big is a high format movie file theatres get for their screenings, and can we also access these versions as consumers in any way? by niklasd2003
Kaleidescape is the best at home setup for watching movies. but is $9k and you still have to purchase the movies to watch. the quality is the same and sometime better than 4k disks.

Reply to comment by AmusingMusing7 in Horror movies - do they deliberately make characters so stupid things to stir the audience emotions up while watching? by geo_gan
This is the trick. Make a horror where the characters are not stupid but the monster is not stupid either….

I would agree with that but lucilla says it hurts maximus more.

Reply to Tim Robbins should have won Best Actor for The Shawshank Redemption over Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump by Scmods05
While I don’t think he should’ve won I would’ve accepted his nomination over John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. Not that I don’t like the role but he makes way less of an impression than either Robbins or Hanks that year.

I agree that it had absolutely nothing to do with Maximus not being noble.It may have been political, but it had nothing to do with nobility.

> A city is so multi-faceted it would be impossible to show it all and feel authentic. There are movies that show you slices of it and do a good job.
You can say this about anything.
Detective movies can't possibly capture what a real investigation is like, so they can show you only slices of it. Movies about families can't possibly show you all the dynamics that go on, only slices of it. Movies about wars can't possibly show you what war is like, only slices of it. Etc.

I can understand if it doesn't appeal, it's hard to believe anyone being willing to really do that especially these days when you can't properly operate a phone or a laptop with one hand - at least it's going to be much harder.

Reply to Anna Faris Joins Dave Bautista in ‘My Spy: The Eternal City’ by Bennett1984
My Spy was way more fun and wholesome than I anticipated. It isn't gonna change the game but it's a solid family comedy. I'm excited to see Bautista continue in the genre rather than get typecast.
