****** movie… dont lose 3.5 hours of your precious time. Dont get me wrong, I love Scorcese movies (Casino, Wolf of Wall street), but this one in fact is a total loss of a time like The Irishman was...


For some reason Scorcese cant get it right recently… and this is very unfortunate

I wish they would win an award for Killers of a Buggy OS

🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

List us your Top 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ all-time favourite OS bugs! We're itching in our seats!!

All very well deserved!! Phenomenal film.

I keep seeing the poster for Killers of the Flower Moon, but it's not grabbing me. Gives me the impression that it's a slow burn, which is not my preferred style of movie. But I've been wrong before. Sometimes I've ignored a movie for weeks only to discover later that it was fantastic!

I’m an art film fan, but this movie was difficult for me. I hated that a story that should have focused all its power on the exploited Osage instead became a vehicle for Deniro & DiCaprio.

I saw that is was 3.5 hours and just noped out. I'm not sitting down that long to watch a movie.

 

[JosephAW]

Yes but does nearly everything they create have to be rated MA or rated R?

 

[Bruce Patterson]

I had to turn it off - easily the most boring and disappointing movie that I have ever had the mis-fortunate of trying to sit through...

 

[Ghost31]

I haven't seen it yet because i have the same feeling long and boring. Oppenheimer was terrible.

I thought I must be crazy when I tried watching Oppenheimer and i completely hated it because of how boring it was

I envy those that can sit through that three hour movie, and actually be entertained

What if it was a miniseries with 3-4 episodes for a total run time of 3.5 hours

So are either good enough to win?

I felt it could easily have been a 2 hour movie without the loss of anything important to the story.

I would watch them over several days.

I don't watch 3.5 hours of tv/streaming/video in a normal week.

I’m waiting to watch it on the Apple Vision Pro…. Oh wait.. 2 hour battery life?

 

[Amplelink]

I'm reading this as I was about to watch it later tonight. I've been on the fence on whether or not to commit 3+ hours on this.

DeNiro and Lily Gladstone received acting nominations, so I"m hoping the acting is least good.

Same. Was intrigued, but will probably hold off now. I hate wasting my time on bad movies.

Just plug it into a USB-C wall charger, genius.

The Academy is BS. The Oscars are BS. We haven’t figured that out yet?

Hmmm hadn’t really thought of it like that but I can see it. Along a similar train of thought, I read the book nearly last yr-ish and was like Scorsese’s going to have it like casino showing how filthy rich these natives lived, these “whales like Ichikawa” lol

I was like this movie is gonna be so fiya, but alas , it was way toned down in that regard, as some are saying, a slow burn yeah, but it’s good.

 

[jimthing]

Napoleon only nominated for two design and an effects award doesn't surprise me, given it's been panned by most critics for a variety of reasons.

The film that got drastically snubbed is Barbie. Shame on the Academy.

Thing is, the film made a mountain of money and is very well made. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t have gotten nods for best director and best actress. It’s a blatant and sadly typical move by the academy, which seems to be composed of clueless octogenarians.

 

[ikramerica]

Does Apple actually win these awards? Does anyone from Apple get on stage if these films win?

Producers win for Picture. The other categories have more specific nominees or specialties

Glossy popcorn movies can have good acting but usually only get nominated for score, special effects, costume, etc

Killers of the Flower Moon was the second most boring film I have seen all year, right after Oppenheimer. Good grief was this a slog. Somewhere in there was an interesting story, but it just never came to the surface. I'm sure many other people feel the same way, but they feel like they're supposed to like it since it's a Martin Scorsese film with a-list actors.

curious what movies do you like? are you a super hero movie guy?

That might be the issue.

 

[Ledsteplin]

It was ok. Kinda slow burn. I kept losing my interest.
