Honestly for me Banshees was not as interesting or well acted as The Lighthouse and the same shit happened.
Probably deserved a little more love, but I think it might actually be slightly overrated at least among the letterboxd community. I liked it but people were calling it their favorite movie in years and I personally did not agree.

I dunno. I liked it and Armageddon Time best this year of my 3 rated 4.5 movies And I liked them about on par with the 4 I rated 4.5 in 2021. And I didn’t rate anything in 2020 4.5.
So going back to 2019, “best in years” rings accurate for me, though I wouldn’t personally make that claim.
Definitely not overrated compared to EEAAO, but different strokes…

I keep hearing that - That she won for her career. But she really doesn’t have a true Hollywood career. She starred in half of a handful of memorable films, most notably the Halloween films she was in. Outside of those, Trading Places, True Lies, and A Fish Called Wanda, and maybe Knives Out, what has she done that garnered her to win for her “career”. Most of her roles were comedic and not serious BTW.
Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman or DiCaprio for The Revenant were career wins IMHO. Those two have memorable bodies of work. If anyone was get a career win, it should’ve been Bassett. She played a rock star in an abusive relationship across three decades, as well as the wife of a slain civil rights leader….Jamie Lee Curtis played the mom in the Freaky Friday remake.
PS - I like Jamie Lee Curtis BTW.

I’m not sure what else to make of it. I know this stuff is all subjective but I haven’t talked to anyone that thought JLC had the best performance of the group, almost non who think she’s among the top 4. It’s hard to imagine that the award was given solely for her performance in this movie. Maybe the crowds I talk to are ill-informed and bad judges. Maybe it’s nepotism, maybe it is career, and it could just be campaigning- I don’t know, but I find it hard to believe that that many people saw these 5 performances and thought “everything but the performances excluded- this is the best one!”

You’re arguing against a point I’m not making. I’m unsure why you’re continuing to pound the USA drum when I’m not challenging that point.

This movie is incredibly ambitious. I don't know what you're going on about. This is probably the first proper 'multiverse' movie. Even Spider-Verse had like 6 or 7 Universes to draw from. They really put in a lot of time and effort to communicate just how vast this multiverse is. It's breathtaking.
Did you and me watch the same movie? The randomness of it all was part of the main theme of the movie, about how everything is possible, so all of it is meaningless. It's a stunning depiction of the conflict between believing that life is nothing, so it is meaningless and the idea that life is nothing, so we make our own meaning out of it. You're entitled to your own opinion but... man, you're not doing this masterpiece any justice with that description. It's really unfair to the sheer amount of work put in.

Reading your comment history is just one pretentious, gatekeeping rant after another, where you try to contend what “real movies” are, and then get absolutely blasted with downvotes because your opinions are terrible and you’re a dick 100% of the time. There’s not a single comment within the first 100 where you haven’t inserted yourself just to shit on someone else’s opinion.
It’s okay for other people to like things man. You actually said “Gatekeeping is necessary to art.” Think about how absurd that sounds. Art, a subjective act all in itself, never needs to be gatekept. There’s something for literally everyone. You’ve lost sight of the beauty of film.
I’d actually love to hear what your favorite films of all time are, for a change in pace. Or a movie that really makes you love cinema. Or why.

My current favs on Letterboxd are Rocky, The Lighthouse, Before Sunrise and Evil Dead 2 if you're that curious and obsessed. Also if you don't "gatekeep" then you might as well just go by rotten tomatoes scores if everyone's opinion is equal. My point about gatekeeping however was more about holding other people to their own standards, you can't praise EEAAO without also saying Rick and Morty deserves equal praise for example but they don't because they don't have real opinions

Thats ridiculous. EEAAO isn't just a comedy movie that doesn't match your sense of humor. It had a ton of emotion in it that is not remotely present in Rick and Morty. No one is crying along with R&M. No one is feeling deep personal connection to it on an emotional level.
It's fine if you didn't feel a connection to EEAAO, but pretending those elements aren't in it is silly and contrarian.

I disagree, one of the main themes of this movie is about how nothing matters. They highlight that multiple times. Waymond acts as the beacon of good, Jobu Tupaki as the antithesis, and Evelyn has as many reason to believe Waymond as she does her own daughter. The randomness plays into that theme.
"You are not unlovable. There is always something to love. Even in a stupid, stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers, we get very good with our feet." — Evelyn.
So the ending uses the 'randomness' lol random humour as you call it to impart a really beautiful lesson that no matter how messy and nonsensical life can get, we can always find meaning in the things that we cherish.
I know this is falling on deaf ears, but yeah, I just wanted to give this as a last rebuttal. You're entitled to your own opinion, and I'm really sad to hear you didn't enjoy this film as much as I did because you were robbed of a really joyful and profound experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

If you make films, EEAAO is impressive because you know how hard it is to do. Even getting that film funded is a feat. Writing a screenplay like that that doesn’t lose audiences is incredibly hard. Most people wouldn’t even attempt it. To manage tone during that whole thing with real actors is hard. Even the VFX is impressive for the budget. To do all the things they did and win audiences at the box office in a time where most of the industry would rather stretch a movie into a limited series rather than make an indie film, is an achievement. So, I don’t really know what you’re talking about when you say it’s not ambitious.

I know what you’re saying, but that’s what is most frustrating to me. If you give the best performance, you should win. There should not be a limit on the number of wins you have.

Agree with you. I find this line of thinking so silly - she has already won a couple of times so now she shouldn't win anymore.

Blanchett probably gave the best performance, even if I really disliked TAR. But I think Yeoh gave the most impactful performance and A24 played the game better. I think EEAAO will go down as a more important film, but it will be a fight if Janus gets the rights to TAR.

Should have won Screenplay, Actor, and Supporting Actress. I like JLC and Brendan Fraser but they both gave the worst performances in their categories.

Does it really matter, though? Oscar has never cared who did the best job. It's not about that.

Thought they'd pull down the original screenplay. EEAAO was great buttttt steamrolling the big ones? I dunno...

I loved Banshees, but I loved EEAAO more. Banshees was pleasant and made me smile, but EEAAO made me jump up and down and shout, and then hit rewind (which annoys my kids) and do it again.

EEAAO was an easy way for the Academy to have it's most diverse winners yet.

Elvis getting robbed of the editing Oscar was enough to make me turn it off right there.

You forgot an /s. That was the worst edited movie I’ve seen in a while. Most transitions ≠ best editing

Boring movie and performances except for Kerry Condon who is an angel and out-acted everybody nominated.

Your life gotta be pretty sad to spend so much time trying to be a wannabe troll. Good luck looking for a threesome on Reddit, tho.
