Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Did you really order KFC, a wrap from another place and cheesecake last night after eating fish and chips at a restaurant?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

No wrap? It was a flatbread pizza without much on it for $10, a lot of it was just crust.

Not really excited but I might tune in

Are you excited?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

I've seen things maybe in movie theaters live where you can Tweet in something and some people get to appear on screen with their Tweet and probably picture.

Yes, I've seen something like that on certain TV shows too

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

I used to fix myself up for these things to actually happen, back in the day, but no such luck.

I'm too inhibited to want that to happen

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Very much so

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

It starts around 1100hrs Monday morning where I am.

I think it will be more like the usual show, than what it was last year.

I just don't care much for the films nominated and the ones I do like, will likely miss out. It will be all pc and woke virtue signalling as usual.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

It's been years since I've seen any new movies. That's why I don't get excited about watching

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

I thought Spielberg's West Side Story was terrific, but Campion's dog of a woke fest will likely rule the day.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

I remember you saying that you enjoyed it

I would probably like it, I'm a fan of the original

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

I started watching the original the other day, but I was rolling my eyes a little when I compare it to Spielberg's. Of course I need to see it as era contextual.

I think Spielberg made a mistake of offering the Somewhere number entirely to Moreno's character, but apart from that it pretty much ticked all the boxes for me as a cinematic presentation of a classic musical.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Yes, since Spielberg's is likely more up to date in comparison

Richard Beymer said he didn't know what he was doing when he played Tony, but I think he gives a good and natural performance

Natalie Wood didn't like that her singing was dubbed

I especially like the score

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

It is the score that enhances it.

Elvis was up for the role of Tony, but his manager talked him out of it. It was one of Presley's biggest career choice regret's apparently.

Both Wood and Beymer were dubbed. Both were cute enough and the film does have an interesting old school look about it now. Spielberg's actors did all their own singing and its more gritty and realistic looking.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

That's right, I forgot about Beymer's voice being dubbed

I think the portrayal of first love is true to form

Teens are at a vulnerable time in their lives, you're going through these changes and the hormones are surging

You're not taken seriously but your feelings are strong nevertheless, and it can be scary and exciting

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

It’s basically a R&J update.

Beymer was a few yours younger than Elvis, but Elvis would have bought more charisma to the role and sang himself. Beymer is a bit bland. Wood wasn’t!

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Yes, it is

I wonder if Elvis would have worn brown contacts to play Tony

Natalie did have star quality

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Tony wasn’t Hispanic, so it may not have mattered.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

He wasn't Puerto Rican?

ETA: That's right, Tony used to be a Jet. Maria is Puerto Rican

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

No! Tony was a Jet. He was a Polack.

That was the conflict, he wasn’t one of them, the Latino Sharks.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

That's right!

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Yes

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Not really a fan of the Oscars as in that one guy from the Odd Couple and that green grouch from Sesame Street.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Nah, I don’t get too excited for awards ceremonies to be honest.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

I'm excited to see how few people will watch it.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

No! Not like I used to look forward to it.

I may tune in this year, as I will likely be home and last year was the first time I refused to watch the dire thing in eons. I didn't miss anything apparently.

I get more excited about watching paint dry.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

No. What a dumb question. Many people don’t even care about the Oscars anyways.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

The Oscars care about themselves and it gets hyped up so much, it appears that it is such a big thing. Its lost all its allure now and constantly exposes Hollywood for the transparent phonies they are.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Hollywood (or Tinseltown) has always been a phony place.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

It is just so much more apparent now, because thematically, many films were bringing something new to the fore in the past. Now, its all recycled tropes and unoriginal presentations.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Like I said, Hollywood has always been fake.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

It has some virtue, and people still like what it offers. The fakeness just reflects what film is really all about, fake takes.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Hollywood for the most part is ego-driven and superficial since they often don’t have to deal with the same lifestyles as an Average Joe. Hollywood is run by people’s imaginations and they only includes little bit of real-world elements in their works maybe except for biopics and/or any documentaries. When you have a bunch of actors/actresses playing fictional people about 80% or more of the time, directors doing whatever without considering anyone else, etc. then get paid millions to do it, it’s bound to turn into an environment where a lot of ego gets inflated and they not be down to Earth. John Cusack once said “Hollywood is a whorehouse and people go mad”. That’s really saying something. It causes people to slowly (or in some cases quickly) slip from reality when they have access to sex, drugs, alcohol and everything else and then have to meet unrealistically high demands for the occupation and maintain a public image at the same time. These people deal with this every day almost and to have to put up a fake persona for the people will just continue to create more fakeness. More fakeness leads to a company or business going down that same route.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

The "wokeness", is now a flimsy shield to protect themselves from their own insecurities and egos.

They have to stand for something, even when they are so fake about it. Hollywood has lost its way 360degs a million times over and it all comes back to the same thing: hype, sensationalism and delusion.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Hollywood is very liberal.

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

And they push out and cancel those that aren’t. Or make it difficult for them if they don’t follow the phony narrative.

Hollywood has become its own worst enemy.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Are you excited about the Oscars?

Looks like Hollywood is pushing a liberal agenda through the entertainment it makes nowadays.
