@TheCineMoments HOW THE FUCK WAS SHE NOT NOMINATED FOR ARRIVAL?!?!

Amy Adams has been nominated for Six Oscars and lost ALL Six 🤯 Here are the six times she was nominated and who she lost to: 2006: Junebug (Best Supporting Actress) Lost to: Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener) 2009: Doubt (Best Supporting Actress) Lost to: Penélope Cruz (Vicky Cristina Barcelona) 2011: The Fighter (Best Supporting Actress) Lost to: Melissa Leo (The Fighter) 2013: The Master (Best Supporting Actress) Lost to: Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables) 2014: American Hustle (Best Actress) Lost to: Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine) 2019: Vice (Best Supporting Actress) Lost to: Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk). Her performance in Arrival (2016) is considered to be one of the biggest snubs in recent history, as she wasn't even nominated despite being a heavy favourite.

@tszzl doghshit take.

the dune movies were doomed from the start to be good and not great due to the casting of chalamet as paul. he does not have the gravitas for a child-god and is much better suited for kind of silly coming of age movies

@Q89013841 @MattZeitlin Yeah that's why the best directors alive keep casting her right?

@MattZeitlin She's a very limited actress who got extremely lucky landing Euphoria, but some reason has legions of shooters that will attack you for pointing this out

zendaya is an interesting modern celebrity in that she's insanely famous, she's famous for being an actress, she's in lots of movies, but she's never really starred in a hit* or "opened" a movie. *challengers is a borderline hit, and she's not the star of spider-man or dune

@podcastistan @shri_shobhit read a book idiot

@shri_shobhit Sounds like a reductio ad absurdum. There's a million possible reasons for that finding. An asteroid wiping out the dinosaurs would be very low on my list. But hey! Science, right? No need for rigorous honesty! Just feelings, ya feel?

The reason we know dinosaurs existed, and were wiped out by an asteroid, is that no matter where you dig in the world, you’ll find a distinct layer of clay. All dinosaur fossils are found below this layer, and never above it! This layer has iridium that is very rare on earth but found in asteroids. It is called K-T (Short for Cretaceous-Tertiary) boundary

@srnorty @_h2rtkos @maxtmcc 'I am not going to read....' yeah, we know. Dumbass.

@_h2rtkos @maxtmcc I am not going to read those books, but thank you. I am simply pointing out that cladistics needs to be used for its actual purpose & not elevated to some sort of trump card that beats all other considerations.

one fact that I feel like has really not penetrated the public consciousness to the extent that it should is “birds are dinosaurs.” and not in like a “they are distant descendants” way, in a “dinosaurs did not go extinct” way

@picblk @kabrieltwt lol Nic Cage

@kabrieltwt They do this all the time. Usually with white movies and black characters.

What am I looking at?

@TonyBWood dope thread

Cyclops as the 2026 Best Picture Nominees 1. Bugonia

@GregSchenk2026 @davidicke 'he saved astronaut' 'look at Banner Michael' dipshit

@davidicke Why hate ? He saved astronaut something NASA couldn’t do. They also use his rockets to save hundreds billions dollars ,his NeuroLink Company helps stroke handicap and blind victims and model Y best selling car in American whose stock probably in your pension fund.

You don't believe this bullshit do you? I guess you must. Yes, he's running all those companies, posting on X like machine gun fire, doing endless interviews, playing video games (or paying others to play them for him), and still claims to spend '80%' of his time on engineering and design. You may believe him, mate. I don't. Not for a second.

@BeingTeJan @triley603 @NolanAnalyst Regardless of the idiotic restraints you place on 'genre' it's still the best film ever made about a Super Hero. (Spider-Man 2 is very good however)

@triley603 @NolanAnalyst Spider-Man 2

Christopher Nolan on the making of The Dark Knight Rises: “There are no good third sequels, basically. Rocky III maybe. But they are very difficult. So my instinct was to change genres. The first one is an origin story. The second one is a crime drama very much like Heat, and the third one, we needed to blow up bigger, because you can’t scale down. The audience doesn’t give you any choice, but nor can you go back and do what you did before. So you’ve got to shift genres. We went for the historical epic, the disaster film, The Towering Inferno meets Doctor Zhivago.” Source: Tom Shone’s book “The Nolan Variations”.

@web3queen__ Jamie, duh.

All 6 in one room… who comes out alive

@LodowskiMichael @QOD2099 @the_spy_wonder At the point, after X-Men vs. Avengers, I'd argue Namor has become more of a Black Panther antagonist. (No, the movie version does not play in this take whatsoever)

@QOD2099 @the_spy_wonder Yeah The Wizard has been a more consistent threat where Namor keeps changing sides all the time

person who’s never read a Fantastic Four run in his life

@bbwluvr1488 @BlackMajikMan90 fuck you, you unfuckable dork.

@BlackMajikMan90 And you refuse to condemn the people who literally celebrated his daughter's suicide. Fuck yourself.

And this is the problem with Zack Snyder. He refuses to demonize the ones who openly insulted and attacked countless people on Twitter, made highly threatening telemarketing calls to AT&T workers and sent death threats to countless people (myself included). He refuses to demonize those who are still openly attacking fans of the DCU and are actively and openly wishing his “friend” James Gunn was dead in the ground. Zack Snyder is delusional and one of the biggest hypocrites in the film industry.

@Fenrirtheicewo1 Moronic take.

Magneto has killed millions in the name of Mutant supremacy, women and children simply because they weren't pure Homo superior as he calls themselves.. he is literally super Hitler on drugs. Actually, no, it's more like 59 Hitlers running a train through the moon. Even Skull called him out.

@pat_pistol_ii feral hogs guy?

Top 5 Twitter days of all time 1) queen’s death 2) USA Hockey Gold 3) original Mary Kate Cornett 4) 21 savage outed as British 5) January 6th No questions #Thanks

@teachrobotslove dipshit take

You should ignore writers when they talk about what their writing "really means", because they're usually wrong. Frank Herbert wrote Dune as a warning against messianic figures, and against the concept of heroes themselves. He was frustrated people didn't understand this so in Dune Messiah he has Paul Atreides quote Hitler. But the truth is Herbert didn't understand. You can't ignore the rules of reality just because you insist they are wrong. Dune is an awesome story about the triumph of heroes because heroes as a concept is real, and cannot be destroyed.

@literaturedevil Imagine engaging with media through this lens. You are a fucking loser.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms -Non woke -Traditionally heroic character -No Marvel quips -No forced diversity -Highly successful anyway Coincidence?

@Slipshod19 @BrockHuard Dont even remember Easly

@BrockHuard I’ll ask the dumb question…tell them what?

Uhhh…who wants to tell them?

@MusicalWhiskey @EricYoungArt @LostHistory9 You are a fucking simpleton

Eh... It was just Boromir really, and it can be explained away by saying that "He had already desired great power before he literally held the ring, and he never really believed in Frodo from the beginning". The eagles are not a part of the free people groups that the ring was forged to have power over". Not sure it'd affect them at all.... or the mouse really....it's just a funny meme.

This meme needs to die. It comes from illiterate baboons who have never read the books and don't understand why using the eagles would be unfathomably stupid.

@SwainMarvel1 @syriangeekvibes @OmegaSupreme228 No, and 90% of people in this these replies seem to me illiterate simpleton, so I wouldn't take much from any of this

@syriangeekvibes @OmegaSupreme228 Is it confirmed that she’s gonna be Jean?

For the love of me I can’t seem to comprehend why people are upset that Sadie Sink will have her first appearance as Jean Grey in #SpiderManBrandNewDay Did we have this same energy when Tchalla was introduced for the first time in a Captain America movie? If we are gonna be real here, there is only positives that can come from this. Also you have to think of the fact that when it pertains to the mutant saga. Ideally you want to sprinkle in this stuff slowly. It would be a lot to just throw all these new characters in a movie and say “Here you go enjoy !!!!!” Yall just complain to much 😭😭

@IterIntellectus My guy: 3 things: 1) It was more that she was the King's than her (subjective) beauty 2) Helen is completely unimportant to The Odyssey, her entire story is in The Illiad, and 3) IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN CONFIRMED THAT SHE IS PLAYING HELEN Also, 4) Who. Fucking. Cares?

anyone with an IQ above 85 understands that the iliad and the odyssey are fictional epics. no one is debating whether her mom actually got knocked up by a god in swan form. we all know it's myth. but what people like this can't seem to grasp is that the books are real. the iliad is a real text. the odyssey is a real text. they have specific contents and those contents are not arbitrary. the elements in these stories exist to justify the actions taken in the stories. helen's not a real person, but she is a real character in the books, and her beauty is not up for debate. it's the causal mechanism for everything that follows. the entire premise of the trojan war is: "what happens when the most beautiful woman in the world is taken" not "a woman" or "an ugly woman." THE most beautiful woman alive. that's the load-bearing element of the whole trojan war. that's why agamemnon sends a thousand ships and why achilles and hector die. that's why troy burns. you remove that element, and the actions stop making sense. why would the greeks wage a decade-long war and sacrifice their greatest heroes over someone this ugly? they wouldn't and the story collapses. there's no "historical accuracy" for a myth. this is about internal coherence. fiction has rules and the rules come from the text itself. you want to make a new story with different characters? make it. no one is stopping you. people will judge it on its own merits. but when you take an existing story and remove the element that makes the plot function, you haven't "adapted" anything the story is ruined, there's no point anymore, people will be confused and won't understand the message of it. the history of one of the most important masterpieces of western culture will be desecrated, homer insulted, and you'll get your DEI golden star. well done
