But so were many other actors.

Eh people that get wrapped up on that gate keeping aspect of horror is whatever. The VVitch fucking slaps even if it isn’t the scariest thing to ever exist.

Do you live in a super conservative area or something? I would think that audiences seeing an A24 bloody horror comedy starring a bunch of mostly twenty somethings in 2022 wouldn’t be offended by two girls kissing (hell, polls indicate even a slim majority of Republicans support gay marriage these days).

Isn't there a shot where a character sneaks into the room in the background?

I’m probably stretching the meaning of the word. If I want to watch a movie and I can’t decide on anything new, then pretty much any Tarantino or Cohen Brothers film is this way for me.

Low humidity is amazing, but having no visible seasons sucks, and it not raining for 4 months at a time and the constant never ending sun sun sun just sucks the soul out of me.

Honestly when it rains i feel like I'm on vacation since i can't be at home. so moving to a cold rainy place would be so cozy.

Where in Rosemary’s Baby? I’ve seen it so many times but can’t think of anything like that.

I know when I saw the VVitch I could hear general discontentment from the audience. I loved the movie but I don't really know many people I would recommend it to. Even the other big horror fan was turned off because of the marketing of it being the scariest movie ever that A 24 will do. I fear Skinamarink is the same.

This is a good example of why the Oscars are a bad metric of movie history. Public perception and media narrative have such an undue influence on who wins (at the time) that it makes the award rather meaningless. All that context is lost as the decades move on and people forget.

Basinger was coming off of a few high-profile duds and was largely seen as on her way out of Hollywood. So, everyone loves a comeback story and voted for that instead of giving it to ( the relative newcomer) Moore. Plus, Moore’s nom was hampered by being in such a big cast. Not a traditional ‘leading actress’ part even though she is the emotional crux of that movie.

No.

Watchmen - it began with enough intrigue, then overstayed its welcome with long beginning and yodeling, then some assassin drunkard got murdered and investigation began - now, who the hell cared about if some bad dude, who amongst others killed fckin KENNEDY, got thrown from the window? Certainly I didn't and left the cinema after half an hour.

So waaaaaaay back in the old days when that movie came out on VHS my family had heard the rumor and rented it one weekend. We found the spot and spent hours rewinding and FFW around and debating it. Finally gave up after no consensus and went ahead and finished the movie, (where the true culprit is officially revealed). Man, that was a fun night though and a great memory.

Requiem For a Dream

Both films are excellent, but I can’t handle them more than once, they were devastating.

GORLAMI!

“Skinamarink is excellent, but you won’t enjoy it.”

I see.

Thanks!

Well, to be clear, the actor didn’t seem to be behind this video— some internet person took upon themselves. I’m sure Heather knows the terms of the agreement she signed; if there was grounds for her to have legal remedy, I’m sure she would have perused them already. But that doesn’t stop an interested internet fan from complaining on her behalf.

Again, all this is a best guess based on my experiences in this field. I have never personally investigated the terms of licensing for the Blair Witch Project.

An award based on all but literally shitting on artists is fucking stupid.

It also diverts potential blame from executives and production companies who are more at fault for releasing “bad” products. The fact that children can be nominated is disgusting.

I see. That makes sense. And IF that is the case, wouldn't that render any complaints moot?

In other words, when you sign over the rights to your image or voice for a film, for full payment up front (I seem to recall James Earl Jones doing this for the voice of Darth Vader, 10k in cash rather than residual payments) there is nothing to complain about later.

Or am I missing something?

It is actually based on a Swedish novel of the same name as the Swedish movie

>The broader context is it sounds like even after the huge and unexpected financial success of the film they didn't go back and reward the actors beyond their initial stipends.

This is common for small budget films that suddenly make it big. The actors sign a contract that grants them a lump sum instead of residuals. Sometimes the contract even gives them a choice: do you want more in your salary or do you want residuals? If the actors don't believe the film will make a lot of money, salary is the better choice.

I don't know the specifics of BWP contracts but industry wide that's pretty common.

I would imagine her original performance was non-union and their contracts likely equated to a work-for-hire agreement in which their up front payment represented a whole “buy out” and no further royalties would be paid. (Quick googling of articles written on the topic of their compensation seem to allude that is is true).

In that case I would imagine the production company owns the footage and the performances and so when it is licensed, all the money paid goes to the owner, with no residuals due to the performers.
