  1. Film The Redcafe Movie review thread

    Why wouldn't "better" actors want to work with directors like Lanthimos and Bong Joon Ho though? Seems unlikely. Seems more likely to me that other people just don't agree with you here. Ruffalo might not be the top talent of his generation, but he's a very competent actor. Personally I thought...
  2. Film Oscars 2025

    Two of them were huge hits, though. A few more were solid hits. You're never going to get 10 good/great films that all were huge hits. It's good that they are recognizing smaller films as well.
  3. Film Oscars 2025

    While I didn't think Anora was the best film out of the nominees, I think it was an inspired choice of the Academy. Conclave, The Brutalist and A Complete Unknown would all have been safer choices. Also great that Mikey won. The winning supporting performances were obviously very good, but the...
  4. FA Cup 5th round: 28/2/25 - 3/3/25

    Not much in it tbh, impossibe to say how much say given he he falls like a deck of cards.
  5. Film Megalopolis | Francis Ford Coppolla | Adam Driver

    Regarding what he said in response to the Razzie noms, I don't really think it's far fetched to read that he thinks in an industry where everyone plays it safe with no risks a movie [MEGALOPOLIS] that takes said risks would perhaps be harshly judged exactly because of that. And that certainly...
  6. Film Megalopolis | Francis Ford Coppolla | Adam Driver

    It absolutely will not be seen as a great film. Unless what constitutes a great film drastically would change. Are Razzie's really notorious for that? I'd say they rather nominate bad movies that also are high profile. Looking back over the last 20 years of worst film nominees there's not...
  7. Film The Redcafe Movie review thread

    Saw this a while back. It was well done, but it reminded me a bit too much of Dark, to the point that after the film it certainly made me like the film a lot less.

    Yeah, obvious red if a bit unlucky. We won, move on.
  9. Film Oscars 2025

    Conclave took the ensemble SAG, and it has the momentum going into the final stretch. It was a very good movie, and it feels very compatible with the Academy. Definitely a strong contender now.

    I don't think we should compare to last year as I think the directives this year has changed and the on field decision should stand to a higher degree. The West Ham decision was a farce, and I think they even admitted it was a mistake. For me the bottom line here is that it wasn't clearly and...

    Look, I'm not saying the decision itself was incorrect. I hate diving, and Young should be booked for exaggerating the fall. But the communcation around VAR this season has been that the on field decision should stand unless it's clearly and obviously wrong. This wasn't, hence VAR should have...
  12. VAR, Refs and Linesmen | General Discussion

    And what. I was replying to someone saying it shouldn't be a foul because the player went down in a way that said foul wouldn't cause. This is true for a large number of fouls, even what you would call actual fouls, so it's not a good argument for it not being a foul.
  13. VAR, Refs and Linesmen | General Discussion

    Exactly, this is the right way to go about it.
  14. VAR, Refs and Linesmen | General Discussion

    I'm just saying that it's not necessarily not a foul just because someone falls in a way that the foul wouldn't cause. Most of the times players go down in a way they just wouldn't have if they remotely tried not to go down.
