    Yeah, looks well made and is probably Oscar bait, but I don't have a lot of patience for musicals in general.

    The deal breaker for me is the fact that it's a musical.

    Anthony tends to be pretty objective about movies and knows his stuff though, to be fair...

    Just picked up the record for most Golden Globes won:
    Best Motion Picture
    Best Director
    Best Actor
    Best Actress
    Best Screenplay
    Best Original Score
    Best Original Song

    Unless Hollywood has another quirky night, then this movie should clean up at The Oscars.

    I havent seen it yet, and dont tend to watch musicals as a rule but this has me interested.

    Great movie. Very old school hollywood set in modern times. I actually like Ryan Gosling better than Ema Stone, but she really stole the show IMO.
    It was also great that everyone sang their own songs and played their own instruments in the movie.

    The freeway scene was great too.

    That's the appeal: old-school Hollywood movie...made in Hollywood.

    The Golden Globes missed the boat by awarding the Best TV drama series to 'The Crown' and not 'Game of Thrones' that had the best season ever of that series. I mean any one of the last two episodes of season 6 'The battle of the Bastards' or 'Winds of Winter' shits on the entire season of 'The Crown'. Not even close!

    The the fuck is "The Crown", and why is it being mentioned in this thread?

    Some bullshit overrated show on netflix about the current queen of England. As if the bitch had some fascinating life.

    Oh, fuck that shit. Think I'll stick to "Bojack Horseman" during my free subscription period.

    I'd rather polish Trumps yacht, then watch another bullshit biopic about "The Queen".

    Yeah, looks like a good deal, just don't have the time to watch what I already have and don't feel like throwing more cash at the cable company. When my contract runs out I may just ditch HBO/Showtime/Cinemax etc..., and go with Netflix instead.

    Just a browse on Google and it looks like it's way past my learning curve. :lol:

    I'd rather just pay for my TV if I have to think to much to figure out how to get it for free or for cheap. I've got Amazon Prime to, and I can't be fucked to figure out how to get it on my TV or even my computer. I waste to much time already in my life.

    You would infuriate me if you were my parent. Can you at least attempt to educate yourself on basic gadget shit? For your daughter's sake.

    For my daughters sake? She's the one we get to hook up the TV to the computer when we really, really want to watch something that's online or on Amazon. Once she leaves the house, we're back to walking dogs to pass the time. :lol:


    Really, I need less excuse to watch TV anyways. Not more.

    The cold hard truth and fact is, if Christopher Nolan had directed 'The Crown'....Anthony would be standing up, pointing at the screen, screaming "Oh my God!!! DID YOU SEE THAT?! What a tracking-shot!!"

    Btw, The Crown is officially the most expensive television series ever produced: US$140 million for 10 episodes. ...

    Um sorry. Christopher Nolan is great because of his track record. The minute he puts consistent shit on screen, he will no longer be great.
