From the Bunker

Quote from: RedHand88 on March 03, 2024, 07:33:29 PMHas to be said Independance Day is a great film. On Film4 now.

Seen Independance Day in a movie theatre in New Jersey.
At the end members of the audience shouted ''Go USA!''

I seen In the Name of the Father in Letterkenny a few years previous where members of the audience applauded and cheered stuff like '' F*ckin' right yeah!''.

Oh, the difference between reality and fantasy.  ;D

Watched Oppenheimer the other night, thought it was very good and while I knew the general history behind his involvement, this gave a bit more depth about him.

Got round to watching Aftersun. A very impactful film, a beautifully made emotional slow burner. A great movie.

Watched The Gift on iPlayer the other night.

A terrific film, well worth a watch.

Just started watching hunger games with the kids, on the fourth one now.

Cillian Murphy is 1/18 on to win an Oscar tonight for his role in Oppenheimer.  Christopher Nolan 1/80 for best director and best picture Oppenheimer is 1/100 to win.

It's mad how the media campaign essentially brainwashes everyone on who the winner will be in the weeks running up awards ceremonies. Murphy performance in Oppenheimer didn't stand out as anything special.

John Cena nude for the Best Costume Design award probably grabs the staged drama this time.

Watched Dune part one the other night to see what the fuss was about. Very impressed. Will definitely be trying to get out to see the new one now. It's game of thrones meets star wars meets lord of the rings.

On the ITV coverage last night they were trying to claim Cillian Murphy as British.  Many others media outlets have reported him to the first ever Irish born winner, Brenda Fricker forgotten about?

Best Original Song for What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish and wrote by brother Finneas McConnell isn't one of their parents or grandparents Irish?

I assume they are hinting at first Irish born best male actor... and not the Oscars in general.  The Irish born angle seems to distance Daniel Day Lewis from his Irishness.

Yeah, Daniel could get on the Rugby or Big Jacks team though

I thought it was top class all around and totally deserved the Oscar hattrick. The film succeeded on so many levels

There aren't that many really good films nowadays. Oppenheimer is really an exception. Creativity in the arts  is very weak. It's much easier to throw out another film in a series.
