forgot about green book god damn the academy some smoothbrains sometimes

Depends if you like them or dislike them. Just noticed that after watching the movie. I feel like Pixar has done the family member being the villain thing multiple times and the whole family theme to death.

Green Book is fine, not terrible not great. CODA is the one I really didn't like

i remember thinking last years crop of best picture nominations being one of the worst in memory.

Damn the 1 year anniversary of that slap hysteria coming up

name checks out

EO is the best kind of E and the O.

Decision to Leave should win

but miami vice a classic and criminally underrated

Someone who's last name begins with F

you are so real for this

This. Not the biggest fan of EEAAO but I'd hope it would win before Fablemans smh

crazy. Coda a million times better than whatever tf green book was

the movie was rated low not because it was a "bad" movie but because critics was expecting it to be "light hearted, colorful, and fun" like the original show

I have a theory that if the movie came out under a different name and wasn't associated with "miami vice" it would of gotten way better reviews

Pixar has a lot of classics. Wall-E, Up, Toy Story 2. I think it reminds you of a Pixar movie cause it’s a genuinely cartoony story. And I think because it’s a cartoony story, people put it in a box, and think that it can’t qualify as serious art. But the reason I think the film is such a miracle, is because, despite the cartoony story, the characters and their relationships felt real to me.

I don’t know why a lot of y’all are just making loose comparisons to other films, and acting like that is actual criticism. It’s like when everyone criticized The Force Awakens by calling it a remake of A New Hope. Like, is that why you disliked it, or did you hear someone else say that and use it as a scapegoat? I disliked that movie cause the characters sucked.

I think the film is very refreshing. It has the light, illogical inventiveness of a film from the 80s, but it’s grounded with way more genuine emotion than most of those films had.

I don't hate it lol. I actually like it a lot (do think it was a bit overrated when it first released though).

I was just saying how it feels a lot like a Pixar movie due to its themes, tone, premise, etc.

yeah i don't understand the whole "EEAO is a live disney/pixar movie" a lotta ppl keep running with

The mother/daughter story in EEAAO and Turning Red is fairly similar and there is a Ratatouille homage in it so it's not too much of a stretch

Gotchu gotchu, all good. I take the comparison as a compliment anyways lol. Marcel the Shell was a movie from last year that reminded me of Pixar in all the best ways.

EEAAO and turning red came out like a week apart from each other.

And that doesn't really mean much when you can link plenty of kids movies to adult movies, usually movies in general follow a similar plotline

Pinocchio and Frankenstein get compared to each other
Monsters Inc and Matrix does
etc.

yeah Marcel is a film you can compare to a pixar movie 100% lol

Yeah but it’s incredibly reductive to say oh, these two films about Asian family dynamics feature cold, harsh, mothers, therefore, they’re basically the same. If you wanna play that game, where you just cherry pick a couple plot points, and use them to dismiss a film by comparison, we could do that for most any film. It’s very arbitrary.

Anyways, TAR’s gotta get a screenplay nom, right?
