I'm not sure if you have watched season 2 yet but in one of the episodes I think 5 or 6 whichever one they do the photoshoot in there is a kid wearing a Tan visor

Im in the middle of season 2 and there is actually a group photo shoot with Fields and other GA players and Bailey is in it.

It was pretty solid. I thought the kid that portrayed #5 did an awesome job

He's my favorite character. I also like the time travel assassin guy as he was Ed Kemper in Mindhunter.

Oh and just for posterity, TOTAL BS THAT ROMA DID NOT WIN BEST PICTURE.

Hollywood studios bought their way out of that embarrassment.

This was one of the worst years for best picture that I can remember.

I did not see many of them but I have a hard time believing any were close to Roma.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

It should have gone to Roma or BlackKklansman. I liked Green Book but it wasn't as good as those; I probably would have given it to A Star is Born over it.

I haven't seen Vice yet so I can't commit. But Bohemian Rhapsody, Black Panther, and The Favourite were all definitely not the best. And If Beale Street Should Talk should have gotten a nom over some of them, or at least gotten one as well.

They need to make a Moon Knight movie. And Ghost Rider could be remade. Those characters of done correctly could be epic. /nerd

I was so desperately hoping Netflix would make a Moon Knight series.

Mindhunter needs to hurry up and get season 2 going.

The actor does great in Umbrella Academy

Jerry, umbrella academy. What u think.

Jerry, umbrella academy. What u think.

Only about 5 episodes in and I like it, I'm a big Robert Sheehan fan because of Misfits. I do think the big strong guy looks a bit goofy, looks like somebody shoved pillows in a sweater. Lol

Reminds of Puppet Master actually...

Have you watched Train To Busan yet?

I have a couple friends that said the same, and a couple that loved it.

I am disappoint. I have not. Shame

Guess I'm way over the zombie genre. It has to be a super fresh take to get me.

RE: Bill Simmons' theory for why Roma lost is that the old guard in Hollywood hates Netflix because it's shaking things up.

I'm pretty sure I've read some pretty big names in Hollywood have come out and said they don't think Netflix/streaming services movies should be eligible for the Oscars. So I don't doubt Simmon's theory.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Why would they nominate it then?

 

[bignewt]

Why would they nominate it then?

They pretty much had to, it was too good. But there was no way in hell the old guard studios were gonna let it win. Similar thing happened to the Weinsteins in the 90s.

 

[n_huffhines]

Why would they nominate it then?

It was a weak year and this movie is a good candidate in any year, based on what the academy values. It would have been completely outrageous to leave it out.

Supposedly they were grumbling about the fact that they "bought its way" into the Oscars (by purchasing just enough theater time simply to qualify for the Oscars), but it's not the first movie to do that and it's a dumb thing to be upset about. Who cares why or how long it's in the theaters, that's not what the Oscars should be about.
