Do they consider sequels to be adaptations of the original film or something? Noticed both Glass Onion and Top Gun Maverick are in the adapted screenplay category.

Maybe because they use characters from the original?

I have zero interest in seeing The Whale.
If not for Brendan Fraser I’d have negative interest in it

It was some high grade fucking kino. The direction, how the cinematography makes it feel like a stage play, the acting (Fraiser is a fucking talent). It handles grief and loss and complex feelings about hope and nihilism in a pretty neat 90 minute package. It worked for me, it was a good movie.
Man, is "Everything Everywhere All at Once is the best movie of 2022" actually going to be the mainstream take? Might have to pick something else to maintain my hipster cred.

Yes. Because they're based on previously established material, and that includes story/characters established in a previous film.
Aronofsky is extremely my shit and I accepted this with just mother!, I’m going to see and love The Whale
I held out for a long time, considering himself way too far up his own ass, but after mother! I had to just admit that Aronofsky is very much my thing.

I would like to see Ke Huy Quan win, and I think he could win almost solely off the narrative of "child star returns to acting".
Best supporting actress I feel like is gonna go to Angela Bassett, not even because of Black Panther so much as the fact that Angela Bassett somehow doesn't have an Oscar. The only thing stopping it would be because it's for a big superhero movie.

This is extremely uncharitable, but my perception of it at a glance is "We made this conventionally attractive man fat and told a human story, aren't we brave."
Maybe someday I'll correct that perception, but I'm not really too fussed over it.
I don't know that I'd consider Brendon Fraiser "conventionally attractive" at this point. Also hiring a 600+ lb actor is going to really limit your options.
I found that the movie's obsession with lore really took me out of it but your mileage may vary.
I would agree. Even though i love the series as a whole and while the fights in three are mesmerizing, i want the lower stakes of the first movie. That first film is such a tidy package.
I view the John Wicks as a Stunt Spectacular with a vestigial plot. I don't really need it or care of it makes sense as long as they keep getting dedicated stunt people to have as much fun as possible.
I'm definitely not equipped to wade into the discourse but I have seen a lot of frustration over the film's obsession with fatness.
I could see how one could parse the film as being concerned with obesity and fatness and how it must be a story about lazy man too fat to connect with humanity, how he connect with humanity in spite of man too fat? But it's not really about that. It's more about loss, and regret, and not healing from grief.
It connected with me because I've been there. . I've seen people I love fill the void of loss with self destruction and its heart wrenching, whether if it's an eating disorder or alcoholism. And yeah the movie is overly broad in a lot of places, but the acting and directing and blocking really elevate it. It's not a movie for everyone and it's not something i feel like is some life altering movie that you'll never forget, but it was a pretty good movie.

I'm alone in the house tonight. I guess it's finally time I should watch EEAAO. Which incidentally I read as someone screaming as they fall off a cliff every time.
the problem with the bad lore in John Wick is that every scene where someone isn't getting kicked in the face is terminally fucking boring
the opening fight of John Wick 3 rips and then John Wick exits the screen and someone in a suit wanders on screen and somberly says "I'M THE ADJUTICATOR" because every fucking character in this movie has to be The Noun to let you know that worldbuilding is happening

Nah, he was just doing kick flips outside and they asked if he would come on the show and play Tony Hawk in a skit, since he looks a lot like him.

It's the specific 'wander into the desert following a constellation to meet this guy' is just so so stupid.
