Started watching ‘The Whale’
Lasted about 25 mins
Anyone watch it / finish it?
What am I missing that the Academy saw?
I watched it all. My 10yr was strangely into it.
I’m with you, thought it was a bit meh, certainly not Oscar-worthy. All the characters were annoying, and the script was dull. And his wife put in one of the worst performances I’ve seen.

The Academy has been woke as fuck for as long as I can remember. Virtually every best picture winner of the last 20 years looks absolutely unwatchable shit in my opinion.
( apart from Million Dollar Baby and No country for old men )
I also liked Coda, Kings Speech and Green Book

Yeah that was decent. Haven’t seen the first two.
That still leaves 15 shit movies, I’m sticking with my sweeping generalisation.

@MN5 departed? no country for old men? argo?.....those are going back at least a decade though
return of the king just sneaks into the 20 year target
Never seen it, liked it a lot ( I mentioned it in my post ) and didn’t like it respectively.
Didn’t like the Lord of the Rings movies on the whole.

Anything with Ben Affleck is unwatchable in my opinion.

TBF, the Academy didn't like the movie, just the performance. People I know who have seen it say that's pretty average but Fraser is great in it. I haven't seen it so can't comment.
@MN5 said in Movie review thread...:
Yeah that was decent.
That's the wokest of all the movies listed on this page. You woke bastard.

Caught Bad Blood from '81 (about Stan Graham) on a vintage TV channel.
Bloody hell, what a bleak film. Totally gripping though and completely mesmerising at times - fantastic watch. 4/5

Down vote Mike. I thought it was great. Obviously not fast paced or uplifting but the performances were excellent and it was something original at least.

Not sure if it's woke so much as pretentious dribble. The woke shit is bigger problem in more mainstream stuff. By problem I obviously mean "the message" being placed ahead of plot, characterisation and, God forbid, entertainment.

Just on the Whale. I'm currently dating a doctor who reckoned that Brendan Fraser wasn't really fat enough for the role, even with the fat suit. She worked at a hospital with a "fat bed" and apparently he was relatively slim compared to those who used it. Now that is disturbing!
