12.25.19 Limited / 1.10.20 Wide

Four movies hitting theaters this weekend I want to see... El Camino, Gemini Man, The King, and Parasite. Can't remember the last time that happened, and of course I'll be out of town all weekend. Hoping I can at least squeeze in El Camino Sunday night after I get back, since that's the last day it'll be in theaters. Though, that's the same night as the Succession season finale, which I don't want to miss either...

Also, we could be getting the first No Time to Die (Bond 25) trailer this week, and it's looking more and more likely that the final trailer for The Rise of Skywalker will be hitting next week...

Yeah, I'll probably wait for The King on Netflix. I have no faith in Gemini Man, but am curious to check out the 120FPS and see how it's evolved since The Hobbit. I'm sure I'm going to hate it, as I walked out of The Hobbit half an hour in due to the frame rate, but apparently it's improved vastly.

Pretty good impression of Littlefinger by RDJ

Looks like it could be good, but am I the only one confused/uncertain why they went with that music choice for the trailer? Did they want you to feel somber for some reason?

Did you miss the sea battle or Dolittle in chains? It seems like a more somber Dolittle take for some reason.

Plus, isn't it Doolittle?

For some reason the YouTube frozen picture for the trailer makes want to think that Downey Jr is acting as Hugh Jackman playing Dolittle

He's a dude, playing a dude disguised as another dude?

Really like the direction they're taking Doolittle. Eddie Murphy was hilarious, but those got too silly.

This one has more of an adventure/quirky feel to it with some gravity. A good fit for a Disney film. This is something that might have gone to Johnny Depp 10-15 years ago, but RDJ is the perfect fit to pull this off.

Seems to me Netflix will have a pretty decent shot at taking home Best Picture next year. (The one it should've gotten for Roma.)

Yeah, that's my choice for BP as of now.

I do wonder if the Academy will purposely avoid voting for a Netflix movie. Maybe that didn't help Roma's case last year?

They're got this and The Irishman coming.

I disagree. I think the fact that it WON all those things shows that its the preferential ballot that hurt its Best Picture bid. To win Best Picture, you have to have people vote you number 1 and number 2. So beloved films don't have as good as a chance to win as well liked films. If a larger audience likes the film, you could get some number 1 votes and a lot of number 2 votes, whereas if its a LOVED film, but wasn't to everyone's taste, you may get a lot of number 1 votes and then lose in the 2nd round with a lot less number 2 votes. All the other categories go to the film with the most votes, no number 2 votes considered.

I am arguing that Spielberg had nothing to do with it. If that campaign against the movie was effective, it wouldn't have won Director or Cinematography. I just think its a movie that you either really love (its #1) or don't. Director and Picture used to go to the same film most of the time. Since the preferential ballot, its split the prizes a lot more. I am willing to bet Roma had the most #1 votes on the first round for Best Picture.

FANTASTIC trailer. One of the best of the year, easily. Hits theaters on my birthday, too!
