Movies

No offense, pal, but I think you're talking out your butt...

Posted by: Apokalips (a.k.a del_NQY_Apokalips) on Sep 26, 13:32 in response to darknightz's post WOW. No offense, but if this gets some kinda oscar, then...

Having read your opinion in the quick reply above, I would have thought you had see the movie.  But you haven't seen it.  Yet you claim you would be incredibly surprised if it gets any oscar consideration.  Do you know anything about Oscar consideration?  The film is a drama.  That you haven't seen.  Dramas are generally the thing the Academy considers.  This is not "Dumb and Dumber".  What a ridiculous statement for you to have made.  If you had heard that "Vampire Movie" or whatever its name is had been abuzz with Oscar consideration, I might have cause to agree with your skepticism.  But this is David Fincher directing a drama from a Sorkin script based on a social phenonemon (Facebook).

No offense but I question the legitimacy of anyone who thinks the Academy wouldn't be considering this film...

I don't live in USA, so can someone please enlighten me why [SOCIL] is apparantly tracking so good? What makes YOU interested ? :-) {nm} Skauge Sep 25, 05:46

Fincher is a brilliant director, Sorkin an amazing screenwriter and the subject interests me. Enough said. {nm} lesana Sep 25, 06:09

Already seen it and it's one of the best movies of the year without question. {nm} secretstalker Sep 25, 06:24

It's overtracking for very similar reasons to why WALS2 was overtracked. shadowking Sep 25, 06:43

Well, let's wait and see if SOCIL will have been overtracking. In the meanwhile, for director, advantage SOCIL. For trailer, adv. SOCIL. second gary Sep 25, 07:01

I'm looking forward to seeing it, but I still have a hard time believing it's going to bring in a lot of money {nm} ChrisEW Sep 25, 07:18

same here {nm} JMT Sep 25, 08:16

But WALS2 has a big advantage in re cast (in terms of mainstream draw) {nm} medusa Sep 25, 09:17

I agree with everyone that thinks this won't bring in that much money. darknightz Sep 25, 08:29

I always think of it as shoulda been independent film with limited release, and maybe a surprise (small) breakout. edzep Sep 25, 08:34

No idea why it's tracking well. Looks terribly trite and neutered (PG-13). Eisenberg is basically Michael Cera - Both one-note actors {nm} HarryWarden Sep 25, 13:05

its getting excellent reviews by many criticts and industry analysts that its a likely oscar contender and as well likely to be a bo hit {nm} apextek Sep 25, 13:54

WOW. No offense, but if this gets some kinda oscar, then I would really start questioning the integrity of the Oscars. darknightz Sep 25, 14:45
