As someone else with a film degree, there are movies that are far longer and have far more dialogue. Stop trying to make that into an elitist thing. Or go watch Jeanne Dielman on repeat until you can’t get off to high brow cinema any more
Danny Vliet “won 2015 Emmy for “Best in Interactive Media” as a Production Coordinator on Bravo’s The Singles Project.”
It seems worth mentioning that was a juried award, determined by a panel of professionals in each respective peer group.
Deliberations include an open discussion of each entrant’s work and, at the end, voters are asked to answer the question “Is this entry worthy of an Emmy award – yea or nay?” Only those with unanimous approval win.
Sure, but ‘production coordinator’ is not exactly a job which requires an extensive knowledge of and ability to critique film on a level higher than most people.
I mean I have zero issues with a 3 hour movie. Oppenheimer was not masterfully written and at some points the directing was plainly bizarre.
It was a good movie but it’s not a movie I would go out of my way to see again. 90% of it was just taken from his wiki page - it wasn’t deep or insightful.
Again, good movie, definitely doesn’t make my top 5 or top 10.
In a world where taping a banana to the ceiling is considered art, Oppenheimer can be considered a masterclass in writing and cinematography.
I agree with you tho, good movie, but not great movie.
wasn’t the banana taped to a wall? I think the banana on the ceiling is still up for grabs
You’ll need a stepladder or something, though.
I can’t get a stepladder, my mom is still married to my real ladder.
I have issues with a three hour movie if I’m watching it in theatres. Unless there’s an intermission
They don’t do intermissions in movies anymore for some reason. I don’t know why. I think it’s a good idea.
Depends where you go. There’s a local (not franchise) theatre in my town that still does them. I’ve heard from euro friends that it’s not common on their home continent as well.
Yeah, no. I have no problem with a dialogue-driven 3-hour cinematic tour-de-force. Oppenheimer was not that.
Also, let people like (or not like) things.
