Idiotic that Green Book is being considered ādivisive.ā Not questioning the accuracy of the writerās statement, just exasperated by the Woke-Wars syndrome that has resulted in Green Book somehow being a thing of controversy.
Cheney as a power-hungry tyrant behind the scenes? Gee, how thought-provoking. Never might have seen him that way without this, uh, take.
The trailer for āViceā looks pretty good:
Personally, Iām looking forward to reading his obituary.
Not sure how a historical non-fiction drama (Farrelly already said that itās not a comedy) is a) both a comedy and a drama (from paragraph 1: "the interracial road-trip drama Green Bookā); and b) divisive.
I saw it recently, and itās an amazing piece of work. Christian Bale inhabits Cheney, as do the other members of the cast. It also reminded me of how much I despise Bush, Cheney and the rest of his Administration; only Trump could make them look remotely sympathetic. These were horrible men and women who trod on the Constitution as though it was toilet paper. And the beat goes onā¦
Iād never seen previous A Star Is Born nor knew anything about it. Wife had read it was good so we went to see it last friday at the low cost theater.
Might have been great acting and music, but holy shit what a sad depressing movie!
āViceā topped all contenders Thursday, in nominations announced at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, including best picture, comedy and best actor nominations for Christian Baleās nearly unrecognizable performance as the former vice president.
The comedy take stands outā¦as unusual.
Iāll watch anything Christian Bale is in, heās amazing.
Itās been remade four times now. I saw the version with Judy Garland and James Mason.
Iāve avoided the others.
Iām disappointed Will Ferrell didnāt play George W.
It says they classified The Martian as a comedy as well, so it seems they have some very strange ideas about comedy. I guess if the movie contains anything mildly humorous that makes it a comedy?
Fair enough, that flew by me. Sounds like a goodie at any rate.
The production companies lobbied to get that in a category where it had a batter chance of winning.
I had a very similar reaction to Quinton Tarantinoās Inglourious Basterds having been marketedāat least someāas a comedy.
āthe man that got awayā - now thatās singing
I took to calling him Darth Cheney well before he became Vice President to GWB. He was clearly an extremely ambitious and power-hungry corporatist (and evil tyrant) all the way back to his days in Nixonās White House. Thatās where he and Rumsfeld really got their start, and learned the ropes. In the singularly corrupt orbit of Richard Milhouse Nixon. Tag-team Evil Empire brokers.
Is it any surprise then that he turned out to be among the most heinous individuals of my generation?
I didnāt much like it but better half loved it. Even more depressing was one of the early iterations with Judy Garland where the failed husband walks into the ocean to kill himself.
@valgalky23 I love the actors Bale and Adams, remember them from American Hustle where they were partners in crime, so Iāll watch it for them. For the subject matter alone, I wouldnāt,
Not just singing, but acting. Watch that number again, as a scene (itās on YouTube, along with two earlier, rejected versions): the singerās rehearsing this new song, and even as sheās exploring the power and emotion in the music and the lyric, sheās experiencing the joy of discovering this phenomenal number, the joy of performing it. Itās a marvel to me. She was a marvel.
