OT: 119th Obsequious Banter Thread: April Foods Day

i need to see Nosferatu

It's well made and looks great, but I didn't connect to any of the characters and so I didn't get much out of it. Also didn't love the Count Orlock design.

I’ve seen Dune and Anora and enjoyed both. Anything else worth a watch here excluding the Dylan biopic and Wicked? @Magua

The Substance is probably my favorite movie of the year. Not for the faint of heart. Crazy ass body horror, but so f***ing original and Demi Moore is unreal in it. Lots of nudity between here and Margaret Qualley so that's fun too lol.

Conclave is excellent too. A lot more thrilling than you would expect from a movie about the Vatican picking a new Pope.

We were discussing movies with toe a few pages back. He also needs recommendations.

I assumed one tag got me both Maguas.

I thought A Real Pain was fantastic. It missed Best Picture (terrible omission), but I very much recommend over some of those. I might see The Brutalist in IMAX next week. I might be intrigued in seeing I’m Still Here, but truthfully, it’s a relatively weak year for the awards movies, as I see it. I’ve been wanting to see the animated movie, Flow, as well. It’s Latvian and non-dialogue.

I defer to @landsbergfan on Wicked. He’s seen it a dozen times so far, I believe. His family is like Herb Brooks: “Again.”

Wicked is the only one I’ve seen from that list. As many times as we have watched the movie, I’ve heard the songs 3x more.

Assuming by excluding it from the question of movies worth watching @JojoTheWhale already has plans to watch it?

I can't do musicals. There's something in my brain that just starts screaming immediately upon hearing that specific voice affectation. But I understand that's a problem with me, not the movie.

We fish off the same pier.

A Real Pain was indeed excellent. So was A Different Man with Sebastian Stan. I wish he got nominated for that instead of playing Mango Mussolini.

One movie that got ZERO love and I can't figure out why is Blitz with Saoirse Ronan. WWII Period pace, epic scale, has all the ingredients you would think would appeal in award season.

That explains why you haven't seen The Producers. Though I'd have preferred they'd kept Brad Oscar and Cady Huffman in their roles, rather than replacing them with Ferrell and Uma Thurman, when they'd kept every other main cast member.
