Anyone else watch Severance? Deeply weird, but quite good.

Starting my annual Oscars movie watch.  Granted having already seen 2 (Top Gun and Elvis) is higher than normal.  I had zero desire to see Elvis, but I actually really enjoyed it.  WAY better than Bohemian Rhapsody.  Still behind Rocketman for most underrated musical biopic in recent years.  And I say that as someone who bought Queen tickets recently.  Bohemian Rhapsody sucked.

Started with Banshees of Inisherin.  Never been a big Martin McDowell fan.  I love the Coen brothers, but he feels like he took the Coen brothers dark humor/dark drama slider, and moved it a little too far towards drama, while still trying to be funny.  Instead, it's just awkward lighthearted moments in a boring movie.

To rate the other two, Elvis was surprisingly great.  And Top Gun is the best movie I've seen in a while.  And I say that as someone who never really liked the original.

I'll update as I watch

  • Top Gun: Maverick

I Thought Top Gun Mav was great and enjoyed it

I tried to watch Elvis but gave up cause I really didnt enjoy it at all

Not sure Top Gun has enought diversity to get Best movie but Elvis does

I've only seen two of the best picture nominees, Top Gun and Everything Everywhere.  Enjoyed them both, I think the latter is much more likely to win an Oscar over the former, just based on history.

Everything could have been about 45 minutes shorter

I'm sorry, but I thought Top Gun: Maverick was way over the top. To many unrealistic things that made it almost unwatchable for me. I haven't seen any of the others.

I thought it was very entertaining.  Only thing I'd add is just a lot more scenes with Jennifer Connelley.

Everything Everywhere All at Once was pretty easily my favorite movie I saw last year. The only other best picture nominees I saw were Top Gun and Banshees, and both were entertaining but didn't really hit the same. Also can't imagine either Top Gun or EEAAO being anywhere near as good on the small screen.

I felt so sad after watching Elvis.  I hadn't realized how he was like a race horse tied to a fence post his whole life.

I'm not a fan of the original, but I LOVED this version.

And Jennifer Connelly makes everything better
