Our Atlantic provinces posters are sure to concur.
@sheed36 “Right on, b’y!”
@OldCraig71 : “I should have had the lead role in that thing!”

sign sign everywhere a sign................
Big fan of John Candy,great laugh and a rather accomplished actor. In JFK,he was sweating for real as he was so nervous doing this role,he didn't want to tarnish the film.

I liked it.
crazy cameos though from Christopher Walken to Sean Avery??? I shit you not, lol.
Yup, I'm going to try take it in this weekend. Always like war movies.
I saw it and loved it but I must had been zoned out it seems… who did Walken play?
Just saw it tonight, makes you think. A little long, and perhaps I would have gone on more about the moral dilemma. A diverse crowd, in age, at the theatre tonight.
It was long, I agree and felt it during the final act. Another criticism is the same I’ve had with recent Nolan films where the music is far too loud and is non-stop.
The crowd when I went was also very diverse in age which was actually nice to see.
Now, going 180 degrees and full speed into sci-fi, so far I am really digging the Ahsoka series. Episode 3 had pretty much everything you’d want to see in Star Wars; Jedi stuff, space battles and light saber wielding.
I know he’s borrowing from Legends, but the world building Filoni is doing makes perfect sense. A line from an earlier episode where the villain says some legends are based in truths is a clear indicator of that. This allows some fresh stories while staying familiar for those who only know the movies.

What an incredibly stupid poll.
To cut off any director who debuted before 98 from being considered for the best director in the last 25 years is typical ageist nonsense. Leaving Tarantino, Scorsese, Del Toro, the Cohen brothers, Spielberg, Cameron, Winding Refn and countless others out of the poll stinks of man-buns and vapes lol.

Jeeze get a grip. They already have a best director list of all time, they're simply doing this one with a different flavor for their 25th anniversary. Your post stinks of generational insecurity. You and Salbutera would make great drinking buddies.
The directors you named have all been celebrated thoroughly, god forbid someone would celebrate the more recent ones.

My favorite was Gary Oldman playing Truman.. after having played Churchill some years ago. I hope he gets to play Stalin once to complete the trifecta

Can't wait to see Walken as President Shaddam the fourth. Best movie news I've had in recent years.
Say what you will about Villeneuve, he has a nack for properly selecting actors, a bit like Vince Gilligan on TV.
Except for Chalamet and Zendaya, the cast was chosen pretty well. Skarsgard as Vladimir Harkonnen was probably his best choice, but now with Walken as Shaddam, it's gonna be epic.
He just doesn't look like Stalin, even if you gave him a big fake mustache.

What's wrong with a best directors to emerge in the last twenty five years poll?

One could argue that the bracket approach is inherently unfair, but there’s nothing wrong with the subject of the poll itself, especially given that it’s in the context of RT’s 25th anniversary.

Iñárritu’s feature debut came in 2000, but I don’t think I see his name in there. Unfair poll!

The Chazelle and Waititi bracket was imo definitely weaker than the other ones. Some directors eliminated in the 3rd round would have likely won that bracket.

It sucks that we have to wait until next year to watch that movie. This is pretty much the only movie I was waiting for in 2023
