I read the book and was blown away. I do think some parts were taken out for the film which Iām not sure how I feelā¦.but I will probably still watch it. Sarah Polly is such a good artist, Iām sure she did the story as well as it could be.

I watched Everything Everywhere All At Once tonight and Iām soooo confused. I mean I got the point but there was clearly a lot of metaphors and hidden stuff in there I was going bonkers trying to figure it out. In the end I just decided to go with it and I loved it but Iād really like to know what the writer and director were trying to tell us!!

I loved it too but it really does have that āwhat the hell did I just watch?ā kinda vibe, not unlike Donnie Darko or Memento.

Watched it last night.
No comment. Just didnāt care for it. Maybe because Iāve watched too much Handmaids Tale.
Trying to be Oscar ready.
So we watched the Whale tonight. I thought it was pretty good. Okish. I did like it better than Women Talking though.
Excellent acting in it.

Iām in the minority with my opinion on this one. I actually turned it off. Right after everyoneās fingers turned into hotdogs. I just couldnāt stick with it. A friend whoās opinion I greatly value told me it was the best movie he has seen in years. Iām not sure what I was missingā¦except about the whole thing.

We manned it up and suffered through it. I bet it wins Best Pic.
I didnāt get it. I didnāt like it. But I did think it was cool when someone told me that was Short Round from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I had no idea

I was told that, too. My response? Short who? I saw Raiders so many years ago. Kinda forget itā¦

I KNOW there has to be some deeper meaning in the symbol of the circles/bagelā¦ā¦I just didnāt get it. I need a film student to sit me down and explain it all to me.
I did like it though. It was certainly unique. But it was not what I expected at all. I thought it was going to be more Matrix like. Even the beginning seemed more alternate universe spy like and then bam it was about love and family. Soooo confused. LOL

Iām STILL emotionally affected by The Banshees after watching it about 6 weeks ago. I really hope it wins some awards.

I like interesting pictures with meaning. Sick of the same old films. Iāll give it unique for sure. Maybe I wasnāt in the right mindset.

I used to get that way with Westworld, WTH was that all about? I ended up Googling different breakdowns/summaries and I really enjoyed reading them. Maybe try that with EEAAO?
I imagine the Women Talking book was pretty intense. Sarah Polley made a beautiful bittersweet film. The acting is phenomenal. Few actors say more when saying nothing than Frances McDormand (who was an Exec Producer). Also, our Cinematography friends did an excellent job. (Reminds self to look the nominees again).

I have not seen Everything, Triangle, All Quiet, Fablemanās. Based on other award shows, seems like Everything is the fave. I voted for Banshees ā¦ I like moody, evocative, superior acting, quiet and impactful.

Donāt waste your time with Triangle. 
I donāt think youād like it. I really loved Banshees quite interesting and beautiful. I wanted Elvis to be my fave. The actor did such a great job and I love those kinds of movies. But in the end I didnāt want to like another Top Gun movie. But if Iām honest with myself I enjoyed every minute of it. So TG gets my vote. But Everything Everywhere will probably win. I think it would be great if Banshees won.
Thinking of maybe squeezing in
Tonight. Sheās up for best actress. But Iām not too crazy about watching all the horribleness, sex, and drugs etcā¦ā¦

My daughter suggested I would love Triangle, so will let you know when we finally watch it. The sadness of Marilynās life, I would need to be in the right frame of mind to watch.
I LOVED Elvis, especially his acting. He was wonderful. But not for BP. Tom Cruise has a lot of sway, so he could definitely win BP, I LOVED it as well, but am still a purist in my Oscarsā¦but the tide has turned I believe there and I am okay with that.
Now I need to figure out where to stream if indeed I watch. Idk, it is a lot of my life to give. Lol Sometimes just the highlights or reading is enough for me lately.
Certainly Oscars has generated good buzz here and everywhereā¦good publicity folks hard at work!!

We DVR it and fast forward it. We only care about 5 or 6 categories. And of course Jimmy Kimmel.
Maybe Elvis can get best actor.

For the life of me I donāt understand why thereās 10 movies up for best pic. Itās crazy. Theyāve done that the past 2 or 3 years. I think they could narrow it back down to 4 or 5 tops.
