Tweetweek: 1917, Movie Real Estate, and 'The Bad Place'

by Nathaniel R

So we were at the first screening of 1917 yesterday at the DGA theater in NYC and as you may have noticed if you were online, the Oscar pundits and online film press collectively went berzerk for it, immediately declaring it was going to win everything, it was best this and that... even of the decade! 'Nobody's ever done this before' (uhhhhh. people have been doing continuous take movies since at least Hitchcock's Rope in the 1940s and probably before that and one of 'em just won Best Picture five years ago!)  For the record we enjoyed it and it is quite technically impressive... but deep breaths people. "Consider" your opinions before tweeting them out before the credits of the thing you just watched have even stopped rolling!

I'm not going to share the generically breathless super-hypey tweets (they all sound pretty much the same) but more 1917 reactions are after the jump, plus The Bad Place, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Dick Tracy, Cats, and Best Real Estate Envy movies. So read on for more curated tweets...

 

it's funny because it's true. The End.

LOL at Glenn Kenny.

I'm interested to hear more about Richard Madden - this never struck me as a great-performance movie.

Is releasing a brutal horrific war movie on Xmas Day actually a good idea?? Does pple really go for such movie in the holiday season??

I never ustand this super late releases tink? At least Little Women makes sense as a festive holiday treat, but 1917? Clemency? Seberg??

War is and always will be the biggest Oscar bait, right?

Is George MacKay a serious contender for Best Actor race or is the field too crowded?

November 25, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterMirko

I've loved watching George MacKay since he was a tiny Lost Boy in the supreme Peter Pan adaptation of 2003 and Clive Owen's older son in The Boys Are Back (2009), and I've been following him ever since. He's only gotten stronger as an actor, and I'm dying to hear how he fares in his very first truly mainstream release since Zwick's Defiance in 2008.

He was just absolutely lovely in Pride, harrowing in For Those in Peril, charming and buoyant in Sunshine on Leith (singing and dancing, though singing is definitely his stronger of the two), and heartbreaking in Private Peaceful.

I hear he's aces in the new Kelly Gang film, so here's to a McKayssance sometime soon! :)

Manny isn't an "-aissance" a revived or renewed interest in an actors career or success? Mackay jasn't have a dip or period of disinterest. Not sure what you mean by McKayssance? I am confusion.

It was just for humor, America.
