Gotta be honest - I usually (always?) see EVERY BP nominee ........but I am pretty sure I'm announcing my retirement at the ripe old age of 213.........when I see this trailer........and the one for Belfast .......like I have negative interest and slight internal pain.......unless it wins BP.......then I have to come out of retirement...... Fnck........ This won't win BP, but Belfast very well might...

Underestimate West Side Story being a potential BP nominee at your own risk and peril.

Despite the excellent (a little bit force) trailer
I hope this will be for Spielberg, what Mame was for Lucille Ball

Lincoln lost me, but Munich was awesome. Hopefully Spielberg/Kushner are on that wavelength again.

in theory this still feels so pointless to me but the trailers have been gorgeous. If only Spielberg had cast anyone other than Ansel Elgort still not buying it yet as a strong BP contender but for techs absolutely. Prod. design, cinematography (Kamiński still going strong), costumes, sound. It's going to look and sound amazing.

Yeah, it looks gorgeous, but I love the original because I do think Woods and Beymer do have chemistry even if he’s not the strongest actor, and she’s not Latina. Even before everything his mess of a personal life, I never cared for Elgort, and the trailer no matter how much they try to hide him just makes me laugh that someone would risk it all for him.

Mmm, I know it’s early still, but the reactions seem very promising. Getting a little more excited now.

Others have mentioned Moreno. That’s pretty cool. Would be cool to get both her and DeBose nominated. Three nominations for two actresses in two roles in two movies.

They've given Moreno "Somewhere" so one would assume she kills with that.

This has probably made me more excited to see it than anything else. Just to hear a great energetic performance of an all-time classic blasted out of theater speakers like that, crowd sounds pretty high on it. Although I suppose they'd still be happy to hear it again even if the movie stunk. "America" really is just the best.

Didn't really care for this film even if it's Spielberg. Now I'm curious.

Uhm sooo, apparently like 40% of the dialogue is subtitle-less Spanish. That's going to majorly divide audiences.

SO excited by the reactions. Cannot wait to be there in the theatre (hopefully) opening day.

If the Jets don't need subtitling then nobody does. Feels like the kind of thing Spielberg would do, put English-speaking audiences in a position where they don't understand what Maria, her family, the Sharks are saying at times either, so you're experiencing it for yourself and have to look past that.

Like those scenes in Bridge of Spies with Hanks (and us) often not knowing what the people around him are saying. I think it sounds like a great and bold choice.

Oh I know it's the point, just not sure how well general audiences are going to react to it.

It feels weird. I had it on good authority Spielberg’s last few movies were getting pulled.
