Let's see how much that audience score helps The Last Duel Come through, Ridley's "fuck you" tour!

LOL! It's fewer than 50 verfied ratings on the Rotten Tomatoes audience score right now. The audience score is next to useless at the moment. How the fuck can you judge audience score for RT on less than 50 people . It could literally be a bunch of Jennifer Lawrence's friends at the moment inflating that score. You need the number of ratings to jncrease significantly to take it seriously. Let it get into the hundreds, then thousands and then there might be something worth considering. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the audience score stays significantly higher than the critics score, but this is a completely useless stat to report at this moment in time. The verified stat is especially useless considering only a few thousand people will actually see it in theatres. The all-audience score matters 10x more for Netflix titles.

metacritic is now at 52% with 37 votes. so it looks like this will be getting close to Bohemian Rhapsody levels, and unfortunately for McKay it isn't a Queen biopic.

My question in the other thread was how can you nominate this movie and not nominate HOG? To me, it would make no sense at this point.

Because McKay has a better track record with the Academy than Ridley does. Members don't look at a movie and go 'I'd love to vote for it, but sadly it has a shit Metacritic score!'. If they like something, they'll vote for it, and they have already clearly shown they love this kind of movie from McKay.

Having seen it, and mostly hated it, however I can easily see it being a player. Despite the trailer, it does have a dramatic heft to it for the Academy to place the "importance" factor onto it, and the humor is really no more juvenile than it was in Vice and The Big Short.

Don't tell me what to do.
Edit: that was my first impression of the movie, posted in the movie's thread, but it ended up appearing here instead.

Regardless of the critics response, this movie will be eaten up by SAG and Academy members, there's already been vocal support about it from filmmakers like Barry Jenkins, Judd Apatow, and Sean Baker.
Expect some surprise nominations like DiCaprio and Streep come Oscar nominations morning.

This movie will be another shining example of the clear dichotomy between critics/elitist cinephiles and general audiences. The vitriolic and sometimes unjustified hate regarding this movie makes me think that it will be eaten up by the industry folks, SAG members and Academy members, thus expect some surprises about the acting nominations (DiCaprio, Streep, and even Rylance) come SAG and Oscar nominations mornings.

Got my booster on Friday and felt really awful after that, so I haven’t braced myself enough yet to watch this.
I can’t believe how much this quote made my eyes roll though.
I do think that the media should talk about it more and not to both side-isms when they do, but talk about breaking your arm to pat yourself on the back. This isn’t very encouraging to me to watch Don’t Look Up.

So yeah, the discourse on this movie on social media from Hollywood figures against the critics is pretty hilarious. Where was this outrage when The Day After Tomorrow was getting drubbed?

The general public just absolutely loves this movie. I think it will do very well with the Academy. Critics be damned.

There could definitely be backlash against McKay and Sirota for their annoyingness on social media, but so far this whole us (the people that believe in climate change that are the heroes) vs. them (the people who didn’t like DLU because they’re either elitists and/or people who don’t care/believe in climate change) seems to bs working at least on social media. Real life may definitely play differently like when I was young and thought Snakes on a Plane was going to be the biggest thing ever because of the Internet. I’m trying to follow JangoB’s advice of just breathing, but he brought up a lot of good points to as why it might actually win too. The Oscars taking place so late this year might help too. I still don’t think any of the other Best Picture nominees besides Dune are going to have as many regular movie goers knowing of it like DLU, and a little more time probably isn’t going to change that with Belfast, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, The Power of the Dog, and West Side Story. And if the pandemic gets even worse by then or stays the same, I think that also helps DLU’s chances. On the other hand, I mentioned the backlash, so the further away the Oscars are, the more chances McKay and Sirota have to say the wrong thing. Also by that time hopefully there’s not another huge COVID surge, and things begin to seem like there’s actually an end in sight.

It's not just the filmmakers being precious, it's the critics being precious about their "verdict" over the movie as well. I mean these are the same critics that rate Marvel drivel some really lavish high praise ALL THE TIME and many people around Hollywood don't view that as art EITHER. I mean I LOVE Tom Holland's spiderman and I loved No Way Home but I couldn't help but notice the critics' hypocrisy in simply glossing over a million ways that movie was definitely NOT a piece of high cinematic art, just because it succesfully pushed some of their nostalgia buttons... If you can be random deciding what's art and what's not, then, well the Academy is MADE UP of people MAKING this form of art. They can decide to rally behind something they feel is important too if not quite as artistic as ideally the artform should be. They will be happy to give a big FU to these critics, I'm feeling like. And it's not a bad movie at all; it just conveys it's theme straightforwardly but it also FREAKISHLY captures the current zeitgeist in almost REAL-TIME. And many people are responding to that and that's that.
I don't know about other awards but Mark Rylance sure is stealing away Best Supporting Actor this year (calling it right now) and it will be VERY WELL-DESERVED imho! Naysayers be damned.

So this has been number one for 7 days now. Cobra Kai just dropped so it should dethrone it. If not and if DLU is still number one then...

Personally I thought it was less condescending than McKay's other two films. There aren't celebrities explaining the plot to viewers or freeze frames with snarky voiceover so that's progress. It's not as bad as some are saying but it's not good either. There are good things about it.

Okay, so Cobra Kai did bump it out of the first place spot but it is still number 2. So that means DLU is Netflix's most popular Oscar contender because neither Tick Tick Boom nor The Power of the Dog stayed in the top ten for more than seven days. I think Tick Tick Boom was in there for three days and then dropped out. The Lost Daughter debuted at 3 and a day later it is already 6. It will drop out of top ten in two days.
