Is ‘Mickey 17’ the latest victim of the Oscars’ newest curse?
<p><p>Filmmakers and studio executives, be warned: a long-suspected Oscars curse may in fact be real.</p><p>Over the past 13 years, the vast majority of best director winners have followed up their wins with disastrous films that tanked at the box office or alienated viewers. These films ultimately brought the highs of a career-defining moment crashing down to the reality of the fickle and unpredictable tastes of modern audiences.</p><p>Take a look and a pattern becomes clear: Ang Lee’s Life of Pi (2012) follow-up Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016) was a box office disaster. Damien Chazelle’s La La Land (2016) follow-up First Man (2018) failed to connect. Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley (2021) didn’t come close to making back its budget after The Shape of Water (2018) dazzled the Academy. Chloé Zhao followed up the gorgeous Nomadland (2020) with the would-be superhero franchise starter, Eternals (2021). That one landed with a thud.</p><p>The heretofore suspected best director curse — seen as early as 1980 with the epic Western and studio bankrupting Heaven’s Gate, Michael Cimino’s post-The Deer Hunter dud — lurched into full view in recent weeks with Mickey 17, Bong Joon Ho’s big-budget, big-swing sci-fi bomb.</p><p>…</p><p>And hey, maybe the curse isn’t real and something else is happening here. Doherty suggested to THR that the best director Oscar may create a halo effect around the filmmaker, which can play a part in dooming his or her follow-up project.</p><p>“I wonder if the people working with the director — producers and writers and actors — are over-awed and therefore less willing to question his/her judgment because his/her auteurist brilliance has been validated by the industry’s highest award,” he said. “Back in the studio days, a mogul could tell the director on the payroll the film was too long and he needed to cut 25 minutes. And that was that. Who today would have the stones to say that to Martin Scorsese or Christopher Nolan?”</p></p>

If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.</p><p>Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films.

I contribute to <a href="/tags/tmdb/" rel="tag">#TMDB</a> but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in <a href="/tags/tvdb/" rel="tag">#TVDB</a>.</p><p>Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).</p><p>Check my accounts:</p><p>* Flagship server: <span class="h-card"><a href="/@youronlyone@neodb.social/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone</span></a></span> <br>* Instance: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://eggplant.place/@youronlyone/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone@eggplant.place</span></a></span> </p><p>~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?).

Megalopolis is a work of absolute madness
<p><p>The moment when an actual live human walked out in front of the movie screen to pose Adam Driver’s Cesar Catilina a question (which Cesar, in the film, proceeded to answer) might, in retrospect, be one of the less bizarre moments in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis. The director’s supreme dream project, which he’s been trying to get off the ground for four decades, arrives at Cannes trailing clouds of speculation, skepticism, and controversy. It bears the marks of all the years Coppola has spent trying to make it, with elements that feel like they’ve been patched in from different periods in his filmography: a bit of The Godfather here, a bit of Tucker: the Man and His Dream there. But the movie also feels older than that. Watching it, you sense the imagination of someone who came of age in the 1950s, with its visions of scientific progress, innovative design, and space-age wonder. How odd and curiously apropos that when we do see glimpses of Coppola’s city of the future in this 2024 film, it doesn’t seem too far from something we might have seen on The Jetsons. Megalopolis comes to us as the (perhaps final) testament of an artist now in his 80s, but sometimes it feels like the fevered thoughts of a precocious child, driven and dazzled and maybe a little lost in all the possibilities of the world before him.</p><p>There is nothing in Megalopolis that feels like something out of a “normal” movie. It has its own logic and cadence and vernacular. The characters speak in archaic phrases and words, mixing shards of Shakespeare, Ovid, and at one point straight-up Latin. Some characters speak in rhyme, others just in high-minded prose that feels like maybe it should be in verse. At one point, Adam Driver does the entire “To be or not to be” soliloquy from Hamlet. Why? I’m not exactly sure. But it sure sounds good.</p><p>…</p><p>Megalopolis is filled with quotations and lines that feel like quotations. Among the aphorisms that drift in is one attributed to Marcus Aurelius: “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” Interestingly, the quote does not appear anywhere in Marcus Aurelius; apparently, Leo Tolstoy once cited it as coming from the Stoic Roman Emperor, and everybody just accepted that as fact. So, it’s a fake quote! But a beautiful one nonetheless, presumably warning against the dangers of going with the crowd but also of the dangers of going mad in one’s opposition to the crowd. But hearing it in this film, I imagined an extra comma in there, between escape and finding: “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape, finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”</p><p>It totally reverses the meaning, but it would be in keeping not just with this movie but Coppola’s career in general. Over and over again, he very consciously leaps over the edge with each new project. He admitted to going insane making Apocalypse Now. I’ve written elsewhere that I thought he’d lost his mind with Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a movie I now consider a masterpiece. Surely the man who staked his entire studio on One From the Heart — the beautiful, woozy, unforgettable, financially dead-on-arrival One From the Heart — wasn’t thinking clearly. And so, he’s done it again, and perhaps exceeded himself. Megalopolis might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy every single batshit second of it.</p></p><p><a href="https://archive.is/tRLE1" rel="nofollow">Archive</a></p>

Ele está envolvido na produção de um filme ambientado nos anos 1950, sobre Partido Comunista Italiano e sua reação à invasão da Hungria pela União Soviética em 1956.</p><p>Giovanni é extremamente sistemático, tanto no âmbito profissional quanto no pessoal, o que faz com que as pessoas mais próximas tenham de embarcar em seus "rituais".</p><p>Vou ter que usar um clichê e dizer que a fotografia é maravilhosa. É interessante a alternância entre o set de filmagem de época com as cenas contemporâneas. Não há aquele tom cômico, apenas vemos aquele cenário com uma paleta de cores mais moderna, deixando claro nosso ponto de vista.</p><p>O filme entrega grandes atuações e, por várias vezes, tece críticas à Indústria do Cinema, incluindo as empresas de streaming.</p><p>Já na parte histórica, confesso que boiei um pouco, por falta de conhecimento desse recorte específico da Itália nestes eventos. </p><p>Portanto, fica a dica para quem for assistir, dar uma revisada sobre a postura do PCI frente a Invasão Soviética da Hungria. A única referência que eu tinha disso era a música "Poverty For All" da banda Ignite (cujo vocalista é de descendência húngara): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su-3wu0gjcg" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su-3wu0gjcg"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su-3wu</span><span class="invisible">0gjcg</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/filmes/" rel="tag">#Filmes</a> <a href="/tags/filmesitalianos/" rel="tag">#FilmesItalianos</a> <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#Movies</a> <a href="/tags/italianmovies/" rel="tag">#ItalianMovies</a></p><p><a href="/tags/neodb/" rel="tag">#NeoDB</a></p>
