Even though Cats is probably the best of those movies I really hope it wins to increase its legend.

I wonder when it'll be held. I heard it was going to be televised this year for the first time. This being the fortieth year.

Keanu for the RAZZIE® REDEEMER AWARD seems odd since everyone has accepted how great Keanu can be for at least the last few years. Other than that, this is the first time in a while the Razzies hasn't just felt like the "Popular Movies We Don't Like Awards"

It's kind of hosed up that Frankie Hayward got nominated for Worst Actress. It's not her fault that Tom Hooper is insane. She did the best she could under the circumstances.

Jennifer Lopez and Keanu Reeves needed to be redeemed for something?  Also I had no idea Fred Durst directed a movie. Trent Reznor was right, that dude loving sucks.

The only Keanu performance that drew actual mocking and derision was Dracula, and that was almost 30 years ago. The Matrix sequels weren't well received but it had nothing to do with Keanu's performance. I dunno, the guy has been consistently good but hasn't had a lot of opportunities for award-worthy work, I'm not sure how that makes him someone that needs to be "redeemed". And it's not like JW3 or Toy Story are the type of performances that are putting him on people's awards radar going forward, they're just good movies. And he's good in them, as per usual for Keanu. It's been this way for multiple decades.

I'll even go a step further and say they need to lay off Tyler Perry altogether. Dude makes films for Black audiences and has found a way to directly bypass mainstream white Hollywood to keep putting out successful work for decades now.

Keanu is, like most actors, good at a particular kind of role and not so good in others, and it took John Wick for people to realize “oh, maybe we should have this guy just be the gritty stern cool guy all the time.” He’s great as a villain in Man of Tai Chi, and I will allow him 1 (one) Bill and Ted 3 because he did it when he was young.

I haven’t seen any Tyler Perry movies so I can’t speak to their quality but I seriously doubt any of them are bad enough to wind up on a worst of the year lost alongside, like, Cats.

Keanu is one of those actors, like Nicolas Cage or Shelley Duvall, who don't adhere to standards of naturalism. They're offbeat and make unexpected decisions but carry a powerful charisma about them that gives them starpower. When directors don't know how to use them, they stick out and clash with the film. But when directors know what they're doing, they shine brilliantly in ways only they can. So with Keanu, he appears wooden and like he "can't act" in certain films. But he's perfect in The Matrix. He's perfect in a film like A Scanner Darkly. And he does have way more range than he gets credit for, it's just that range is on a different wavelength than what we've been conditioned to think of as "good" acting.

I've never heard of The Fanatic until now and I'm grateful because it sounds completely wild. It feels like one of the fake movies in Tropic Thunder.

Gotti had the same quality where Travolta is trying super hard to put himself back on the map and it just doesn't work because it comes off as forced, and even if he was good it might be hard to tell because the production values surrounding him are laughable.

From what I gather a lot of black people hate Tyler Perry, but his movies just keep making money because they're the only thing that acknowledges that middle-class black people exist.

Honestly, though I think Francesca Hayward did a bad job, I think that Tom Hooper overdirected her into being insufferable and stupid. So yeah, you might be right.

I didn't think there was a bad performance in Cats other than Rebel Wilson and James Corden, and even those two gave the performance you're looking for when you cast Rebel Wilson and James Corden.

I mean, what even is a good or bad performance in a movie like that? Is Ian McKellen suddenly saying "yams yams yams yams" good or bad acting? is Idris Elba saying "MAgIC" or "MCavITY" or "ME-OW" as he disappears good or bad acting? It feels impossible to say.

Ogmius815 posted:The secret of the Cats movie is that Cats was always stupid. I once spent an entire afternoon doing research to try to figure out why the hell anybody ever liked the original musical. While my bewilderment was never 100% cleared up, after a few hours I eventually found a forum post containing probably the best answer I'm ever going to get on the matter: quote:For the record, I agree that the set was cool, the choreography often fun, and CATS was one of the last musicals to produce a true, Top 40 hit song.

I've never even heard of Cats before the movie. Granted I only know that Phantom, Les Mis and Book of Mormon exist so that's doesn't really say much. But another poster somewhere explained that it's basically the most accessible show so tourists that don't understand English or non-musical nerds can go experience the whole Broadway thing without (presumably) waiting years for the tickets.

I've actually seen part of a performance on TV as a kid, the end of the Skimbleshanks song oddly enough. (Which is implied to end with a train crash!) It didn't make much sense then either.

If the range between Johnny Utah and Ted "Theodore" Logan isn't good enough for you, there's just no pleasing you tbh

Cats is a weird thing; a big part was that it was sold as a family musical, and was advertised super heavily to the point that I even wanted to see it as a kid. Memory was so poppy that it helped to sell to non theater people that the music wouldnt be as "complex" as something more operatic like Les Mis or as dark in tone as Phantom so it basically came off as being accessible.
