Cant get behind this. I was actively rooting against Joker. Just a rehash of a couple old Scorsese movies.

I haven't seen it (which, I guess, means I shouldn't complain about Honeyland not winning, but whatever). It's on my list to watch, though.

Bong winning 4 oscars in a night is an unbreakable record I think
Its a throwback in that its just a good damn movie, and a ride and not a portrayal of characters thats become very rote in American cinema. Its got some complicated ####ty people

And Joaquin's speech is why he shouldn't win, how much was he acting? He's a fruitcake playing a fruitcake. Everyone else plays actual characters and I'd even put the snubbed Deniro, Murphy and Sandler in front of him

Dude. They bring in colonies of bees to continuously rape the almond trees, and then you feel entitled to drink the ground-up tree babies that are ripped from their parents. You specieist monster.

Drinking cow milk is pretty gross if you think about it.
A bowl of cereal is so damn good though.

It is good enough to keep my wife (who I'd guess actually "sees" about 50% of the typical movie we stream at home) from picking up her phone and playing her usual mindless game while watching. It's a bit weird, but definitely well done, and gripping enough that I forgot I was reading subtitles just a little bit into the movie.
Eta: Oh, and I don't think there's any chance I'd have been able to get through either The Irishman or Marriage Story had they been subtitled from a different language.

The Parasite guy’s speech for Best Director was fantastic. Best moment of the night.

I don’t and am on my phone but should be all over the place soon. Was super thoughtful and very touching.

I very rarely watch subtitled movies, and when I do I have a very hard feeling fully engaged. That wasn't the case at all with Parasite. It hummed right along and was easy to follow.

hell. YES.
caught it last night after dinner ... not a second was wasted in the entire flick - it zips and bends and twists and entertains the whole way thru ... the subtitles were a verrrry minute price to pay for such quality enjoyment.
if this were an American production i could easily see it coming from the Coens ... it has that kinda vibe to it.
can't really chat about any of the goings on, 'cuz spoilers start pretty much from jump - but the performances were all spot on, great job from the whole cast - never felt as if i wasn't a fly on their collective walls - for as sleek and stylish as the aesthetic was, it also had a firm sense of intimacy, if not flat out voyeurism.
can't recommend enough, it was such a great ####in' ride!

Said the same thing to my wife essentially. He wasn’t acting - he’s perpetually unhinged.
I watched Joker recently. It’s not a good movie, and his acting isn’t anything special. Not memorable. Definitely not rewatchable.
Then again, I didn’t enjoy The Irishman either.

Once you stop drinking it for a long period of time and try it again it tastes really gross. I developed a minor intolerance to dairy so I just didn't drink it, when I tried it again it tasted like a weird milkshake

After seeing it my daughter texted, "You NEED to see Parasite!" She has good taste so figured it must be really good.Haven't seen it yet.

It’s in the running for the best movie of the decade yet alone year. Well worth seeing even if one doesn’t normally watch foreign movies.
Haven't seen it yet.

Good question. This had a massive crossover success so I could see it not being remade. It certainly could be. There’s nothing about it that wouldn’t translate to the US (which is part of the appeal).
Oh I forgot that Adam McKay and Bong are working on an HBO tv show adaptation based on it.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's interesting that this is the first Best Picture winner I've actually seen since The Hurt Locker.
Edit: Actually, I saw five of this year's nominees: Parasite, Hollywood, Joker, Marriage Story, and Irishman. After looking back at the past decade or so, most years I watched either one or zero of the nominees. The last couple of years were just brutal.

I’m not saying it’s my best of the decade but it’s been ranked very high on a lot of best of decade critic lists. Moonlight, Social Network, Mad Max seem like the few movies every critic has in their top 10.

I was really rooting for her to sweep both of the Lead and Supporting Actress categories.
Dern and Zellweger both had great performances though so they were both deserving winners.

First time i ever turned the Oscars off (OK i was only half watching - BB marathon, i'm a sucka fuhdat - anyway). I must be getting old, but the luckiest people in the world kvetching & kvelling about the jerrrrrrneeeeeees of life, world, art and, most importantly, memememememememememememememememememememe has lost its considerable power to charm me. But i am digging this whole "nominate fascistly, vote guiltily" phenomenon. Since i never watch anything til it makes it to a streaming service anymore, i'm not invested anyway. Go Dolemite!

I watched it last night, and Parasite felt like a good version of what Peele was trying for with Us.
We just need to stop with the Americanized remakes.

I had that thought after I posted it. I am hoping the accolades and attention it's getting will make it less likely to have a remake.

They keep trying it: Let Me In, the upcoming Downhill, etc.. I guess they must make enough money to keep trying, but I can only think of one American remake I thought was better than the original and that was about 20 years ago with The Ring.
