Movies

BAFTA nominations are wild, and while there are some weird omissions, this is probably way better than what the Oscars are going to announce next week...

Olivia Coleman snubbed for actress is insane. Can't believe that Lady Gaga's Gucci performance is the front runner right now with all the performances we've had this year.
 
I watched The Green Knight last night.

Lovely shots, really interesting film, but tricky to properly understand whats going on all of the time. I think I read that it is based on a poem?

Yep, an old 14th century poem I think. The story has popped up in other writers since but the original author is unknown. I loved the tone and pace of the film, and the shots were great, but it's definitely a hard story to adapt to film if you try to stay true to the source material without just using it as inspiration for a modernized screenplay. Overall I think it'll be a film I go back to and rewatch occasionally because I think I'll be able to get more out of it with each viewing. I really like movies like that, but it's tough to convince my wife to watch those kind 😉
 
I think there were some fans of the new West Side Story movie on here a few pages back, and I just saw that Covert Vinyl has one copy of the soundtrack in their 50% off sale if anyone was looking for it.
