Saw The Fablemans - Odds-on favorite to win Best Picture Oscar

[BigJay]

saw it in the theater today

2.5 hours. Very slow. (A few slight spoilers down below if you think you’re going to watch it)

If it were directed by a guy named Smith instead of Spielberg doubt it would be up for any awards.

First 75 percent of the show focus some on the son’s obsession with filmmaking but it was mainly a slow crawl toward the inevitable divorce of the parents (played by Michelle Williams and Paul Dano - two actors I really like but they just didn’t click for me here)

There were a few interesting storylines and funny parts but they were few and far between.

Disappointed because I was looking forward to this one because of
and I rarely get to go to the movies in the theater anymore.

Critics have completely opposite views on films than the rest of us do

They like garbage & we don't lol

every year of the 6-8 movies nominated I've only ever heard of a couple

i try and watch some of these movies differently since they are "oscar nominated" but typically come to similar results

This means I won't go see it. However, going to the movie lit to see this...

I didn't know about this movie till now. Is it based on a true to life story?

Sort of, it's inspired by true story of what if Elon Musk made a doll.

I just watch the trailer and I like the dance part of Megan

Yep

I learned my lesson when we went to see Hugo, and it was absolutely horrible, yet they nominated it for awards

Lately, I just go to the theater if it's an animated, Marvel, or DC movies.. Well, I made an exception for others like the TopGun.

We actually went to a live play while in Colorado of 'A Christmas Story'

I look at the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. If a movie has a low % from critics but a high % from the audience reviews, I immediately rent it. I've never failed to like a movie like this.

How was the remake of Top Gun ? I’ve mentioned before on here the original movie is in my top 3 all time.

Wish we could find a trigger on a betting system that worked this way.

It was great. Perfect example of a movie that’s 10x better to see in a theater
