Safe to say that KJ loves La La Land.

Glad that all those Oscar-y type movies that people are forced to "love" around awards season (like Hidden Figures, Fences, Moonlight, Manchester By the Sea, Hacksaw Ridge etc.) were shut out.


La La Land is also an Oscar-y type movie. By the way, Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea are not the usual Oscar darlings; they are understated and not loud.

LOL. LLL is the exact kind of Oscar bait they most gladly go for. Self-jizz fest without any new artistic merit or original bone inside. It is well made, but it's the safest, most boring possible choice Academy (and other awards) will make in a very long time.

And I agree with i.hope that these two are not the usual Oscar bait. Neither is Hell or High Water. Those three are very much films that play on a lot of subtlety and are too occupied creating believable "broken" characters that enrich the movie history to really be focused on something that gets more trivial each year like the Oscars.


Eh. There are two types of Oscar-y movies. The ones that are shoved down your throat at Oscar season and then you never see them ever again, and the ones that are bonafide Oscar films that deserve the praise. That is what I was getting it. La La Land is in the latter.

Neither do you, but I admit Chippy is the least knowledgeable member (but most opinionated) on this site regarding movies.


Dude, you didn't even know Lion King was greenlit. I honestly don't think you even know what a movie is.


Yeah dude, good quip. Maybe Thegun can use it in his sell-out stand-up shows. I watch over a hundred films a year, and you watch, what...8? And I don't know what a movie is. Good one, fool.


You're so fucking boring. Like, do you even have an original quip? Because you've been doing the same shit for a decade now.

People don't care mch about LLL right now. In 3 months nobody will remember it. It's flavor of the moment. In Hollywood especially.

I'll remember it, and that is all that matters to me. And music lingers longer than visuals, so I expect La La Land to be around for longer than three months.

Thanks for the efforts Lecter, et. al. Too bad these results are terrible.

Lecter's Blunt/Stone joke was better than the Academy's Moonlight/La La Land debacle.

I like how the Oscars copied Lecter's Best Actress gag.
