Serious response inside. {nm}

Posted by: DTXbro (a.k.a SenJohnBlutarsky) on Jan 23, 10:51 in response to Moviesnob's post are we going to have a serious conversation or is this...

Kris Tapley, AMC is not going to include ROMA in its Best Picture Showcase/Marathons notfabio Jan 22, 10:03

Deadline: Both AMC and Regal are not showing ROMA. AMC says it's because they were never licensed to show ROMA notfabio Jan 22, 10:05

i mean thats technically true but you and i know all they had to do was want to book it and they could {nm} Moviesnob Jan 22, 10:21

Yeah, it's definitely an "easy out" for them, they could have negotiated something over the past few weeks if they were motivated to. notfabio Jan 22, 11:19

all they care about now is academy PR and they dont care about any cost there {nm} Moviesnob Jan 22, 11:53

It doesn't surprise me pquicio Jan 22, 10:31

I haven't seen ROMA but if the Shape of Water can win - anything is possible {nm} jdolphin Jan 22, 10:36

Roma is the good Mexican-directed one {nm} professor zovek Jan 22, 10:53

It was by far the best of the nominated films this year. I have seen some modest backlash on here from a few folks and it is baffling. {nm} MiyazakiFan Jan 22, 11:55

Yeah, I don't understand the comments that it's boring, etc. It's a movie centred on domestic life that still manages to be epic in scope. RogerMore Jan 22, 12:35

it didnt have thanos or the millenium falcon {nm} Moviesnob Jan 22, 13:12

this {nm} CSBD Jan 22, 13:48

i will confess to an occasional thought of "do we really need a shot of *everything* that's happening, Alfonso?" but they all quickly passed {nm} professor zovek Jan 22, 13:42

"Tarantino and feet..." - heh-heh! {nm} CSBD Jan 22, 13:47

Roma was pointless. Not insightful, thrilling, educational, inspirational, or anything else good. Boring, meandering, small depiction of DTXbro Jan 22, 15:18

It's a look at women's lives during a turbulent time. History is not just about men...etc, but also personal Her Stories. {nm} Antibody Jan 22, 15:29

its pretty obvious neo-realism unless you're being willful about disliking it. Any life can be epic, moving and beautiful. Moviesnob Jan 22, 15:47

Who in that movie was admirable, inspiring, heroic, instructive, or even interesting? DTXbro Jan 22, 17:54

are we going to have a serious conversation or is this the animal house character talking? <spoilers> Moviesnob Jan 22, 19:12

Serious response inside. DTXbro Jan 23, 10:51

Serious response inside (comment system willing) . . . DTXbro Jan 23, 16:28

Not to me. Definitely not by far. It's very well put together, with some excellent set pieces. It definitely has its problems. goodvibe61 Jan 23, 09:55

Good. Why should the theaters bend over backward if Netflix doesn't want to be a team player. Forget them. LaForza Jan 22, 11:14

and i hope the cops catch whoever held the gun to AMC's head and made them run this Best Picture showcase for several years now {nm} professor zovek Jan 22, 11:26

Their business model is counter to going to the movies. Watching a movie on Netflix is akin to watching a sunset from inside your house. Catzan Jan 22, 16:33

I like that...*thumbs up* {nm} tealfan Jan 22, 17:11

yep, well said {nm} Moviesnob Jan 22, 19:19

I would argue sometimes it is best to watch the sunset alone in my house than in a crowded beach with a lot of people making noises. FabioParme Jan 23, 06:24

And the sand! It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. {nm} RogerMore Jan 23, 07:45

from a certain poont of view {nm} tealfan Jan 23, 08:56
