Been fine my whole life

 

[Mark Antony]

Maybe because I'm big on Sci-fi tv shows, ie Farscape, Stargate, BSG, Star Trek, Babylon 5 etc and have seen the concept done a ton of times I don't rate Bugonia as highly as other folks. I guess maybe that's how horror folks feel about Sinners.

 

[Magic33]

Teyana Taylor's character just gave me a sour taste about OBAA even though it was a really good movie.

Was glad she didn't win honestly

Would have been like Halle Berry in Monsters Ball to me.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I love Yorgos.

But the ending of Bugonia was just way to obvious, and way too telegraphed.

And ultimately left a sour taste in my mouth.

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

Watched part of the Oscar's last night and besides Sinners I ain't seen nothing and apparently I haven't missed nothing. I guess MBJ had his humiliation ritual at the BAFTA''s he good now

 

[B Sox]

One Battle is absolutely worth watching.

Really? Can't really say any of those shows really did the concept in a similar way. There've been average to classic conspiracy EPS with the concept but I think there's something to say about the premise as well. All those are futuristic space shows.

If anything, it's the acting by Plemons and Watson that took it to another level for me

I love Yorgos.

It's a remake that was inspired by Misery.

Yorgos was not changing that ending. Props on being able to tell all of humanity dies in the end cuz she's actually is an alien.

id spoiler that because i think people should still watch it. its a good movie.

i didn't even realize it was an adaptation until the oscars. so i get why he's not changing it.


but i just think the cultural context of the current moment, makes the "actually the deranged conspiracy theorist are right" hit different.

Great acting by those two of course. Of course they're all not exactly the same, I more just mean I'm overconditioned to these weird concepts at this point. I do love it, just saying just recently I literally watch the these humans are actually aliens conspiracy thing on Stargate which isn't futuristic.

Oh that angle. Well yeah but I did manage to leave the real world at the door while watching so I didn't let that creep in to my suspicions.

 

[rolaholic]

So that's where he was

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

One Battle is absolutely worth watching.

I actually plan on seeing that but forgot since it wasn't in the segment I saw. There's something else I wanted to see last year but I'll wait for the free. Sinners was my only mo in theater visit last year

I don’t get the hype around One Battle.
