Not seen Parasite yet but have heard good things. Only seen 2 of the nominees - Once Upon a Time and Joker. Thought OUATIH was mostly dull and one of Tarantino's poorer efforts, and Joker was good though has been overrated due to its comic book connection.

Also, they changed the Best Foreign Film category to Best International Film, so why wasn’t 1917 on that list, it’s British made isn’t it?

what the hell is an international film....?

Whether Sandler has been in turkeys or not shouldn't discount him when he finally does give an Oscar worthy performance.

Remember, De Niro was in Rocky & Bulwinkle.

Eh? It's incredibly rare for non-English-language films to be shortlisted, and this (the first ever foreign-language winner of Best Picture) was a comedy, not a dark and moody film.

Make a half decent film about a former king or queen, and you'll get at least a nomination.

I was an extra in an Oscar nominated film when I was at school.

Was it a depressing ‘mines closed down in the 80’s’ kitchen sink drama called something like ‘black hearts are mine’?

I was brought up just down the road from where the title character is from.

I thought Parasite lacked diversity.

Metro. If I take a walk around Llanberis then I'll start or finish it there (or perhaps with a pint or two!). It's close to the lake and parking so a handy place. Big mugs of tea too!

Robb - it was a blink and you miss it appearance!

I adore walking around those parts.

As for those mugs of tea - wow, superb. I was only there a few weeks ago. Ended up having fish fingers, chips and beans.

First time I went was 1994. We were walking up Snowdon for the Roy Castle foundation. I don’t think it’s changed in those 25 years.

Metro. It's a stunning area! Living so close I don't think I truly appreciate it as it's on the doorstep and you do seem to get complacent about things like that. I will do more of the mountains over the spring/summer though.

Joker is basically all about character portrayal, and Pheonix's performance in that regard is superb. I found the final part of the film disappointing though - but then I'm not much of a fan of the superhero/villain universe.

Parasite felt a little bit out of control towards the end, but I found it much more interesting. Lots of different layers to the story and different genres coming together.

Watching 'Once upon a time in Hollywood' right now and so far i am pretty disappointed. Normally engrossed in Tarantino movies and the drawn out dialogue but thus far it isn't working for me that much.

posted on 11/2/20

I tried to watch Parasite and nearly finished one hour of it but in the end that kind of movie is just not for me. I was torturing myself because I'd read good things about it so I just facked it off in the end.

Once upon a time in Hollywood was arguably a worse movie. I struggled to finish it. Watched half and then chucked it in favour of something else. Took me a week to muster the courage to finish it. Worst Quentin movie ever.

The Irishman was excellent and far far better than both these movies. IMO.
