Reply to I watched The Whale (2022) and as someone who used to be morbidly obese, daddy issues, and had an eating disorder, I cried so hard by HistoryFreak30

The only thing I knew going in was a clip from the BAFTAs where Hong Chau tickles Brendan Fraser, and I was like, "what the fuck is this?"

But I watched it and it was an excellent film. I should have considered harder that it was an Aronofsky movie, so it wasn't going to be a fat suit tickle fight movie. Which was a real fear.

All the performances were excellent. I really enjoyed the scenes between Sink and Simpkins.

Reply to What are the Top 5 films you think got snubbed from a Best Picture nomination? by Positive_Yam_9125

I don’t usually look at what’s an Oscar winner when watching a movie. I go to movies to be entertained and to appreciate the art and effort put behind them. I don’t think movies need validation from trophies and award nominations. Some people who make the movies may think they need validation in the form of awards and nominations, but as a consumer, I could care less what’s nominated and what isn’t. A movie I like is a movie I like and that’s enough for me

She turned out to be a massively pretentious weirdo. Here's just some of the shit she's said.

> “I just want to drift. I’m just going to be a drifter… Maybe I’ll work in a tea shop. Or live in Amsterdam. Or be a nanny. Life experience only helps us as actors. I need new experiences to draw upon.”

> “My religion is the Earth, man. I believe in trees.”

> “I exclusively buy used clothes. I’m going to be a citizen of this planet, and I’m going to do my responsibility and live in stride with nature instead of constantly fighting against her.”

> “I think everything about my lifestyle is fairly alternative. I gather my own spring water from mountains every month. I go to a farm to get my food. I make everything from my own toothpaste to my own body lotions and face oils. I could go on for hours.”

> “I make my own medicines; I don’t get those from doctors. I make my own cheese and forage wild foods and identify wild plants. It’s an entire lifestyle. It’s appealing to my soul.”

> “I was 14, and my grandma is a naturopath, and she took my blood—she does live blood and cell analysis. She was like, ‘You should probably eat more vegetables, and microwaves are not great for you.’ And so I started doing research, and I haven’t used a microwave since.”

> “Another thing I like to do is give my vagina a little vitamin D. I was reading an article written by an herbalist I studied about yeast infections and other genital issues. She said there’s nothing better than vitamin D. If you’re feeling depleted, go in the sun for an hour and see how much energy you get. Or, if you live in a place that has heavy winters, when the sun finally comes out, spread your legs and get some sunshine.”

Oh and the best one.

> “I’ve always sort of wondered what it’d be like kissing my brother.”

I can only imagine her being an utter fucking nightmare to work with.

Ben Mendelsohn playing a guy with his shit together? Can't be real

*Nvm he's a troubled police officer. Definitely does drugs or has a drinking problem.
