Tarantino isn't a big fan of Blanchett (or her movies). He kinda dissed her a few years ago, so she's unlikely. My guy just pulled an 8.5 year old tweet with only 7 likes right out of his back pocket What the fuck are you on about . Are you slow? I could have just put a link to any article about the Tarantino/Blanchett thing, which was pretty fucking well covered by tons of news outlets at the time. I decided to link to a tweet, because it's fucking convenient and has an article link. The amount of "likes" is completely fucking irrelevant. It could have had zero likes, and I'd post it anyway. The point is so people can see the article link if they didn't know about the situation, to know that I'm not just talking out of my ass and making shit up. It doesn't matter if he said it 8 years ago. When people suggested Tarantino might cast Paul Dano, I also brought up the fact that he said negative things about Dano's performance in There Will Be Blood, and he said that over 15 years ago. Maybe he's changed his mind about Dano and Blanchett since and now is all about putting them in his movies, but it's relevant fucking information to bring up if someone suggests he may cast them. What exactly are you crying about? But if you prefer article links instead of tweets, here you go: variety.com/2015/film/news/quentin-tarantino-slams-true-detective-cate-blanchett-1201576955/www.indiewire.com/features/general/tarantino-opens-up-about-hateful-eight-disses-cate-blanchett-and-true-detective-and-more-184591/ew.com/article/2015/08/24/quentin-tarantino-new-york-interview/Is that somehow more acceptable now? The fact that I just had to write a whole paragraph explaining basic common sense to a presumably grown adult is extremely fucking annoying. Don't bother me with this type of nonsensical complaint again please. Thanks.

I very much doubt Paul Dano is in the frame for this. When Tarantino gave his thoughts about There Will Be Blood, he said that if he had to identify any weakness with the film (which he loved), it was Dano's performance, which he thought wasn't good enough to keep up with Day-Lewis ( he compared DDL in the movie to Muhammad Ali and Dano to Jerry Quarry, a journeyman boxer that Ali fought) . Now maybe Tarantino has since reconsidered his opinion on Dano as a performer in the years since, but it doesn't seem too likely that'd he'd let Dano carry his final film when he's been so openly scathing about his performance in PTA's most seminal work. Me talking about Tarantino probably being unlikely to cast Dano nearly a whole year ago because he was pretty negative about his TWBB performance on a podcast well over a decade ago . Can't remember anyone crying about this. Or is the issue that it's Blanchett I mentioned him saying stuff about this time?

You know you are free to block me Archie, as you obviously dislike my posts so much and get an orgasm everytime someone takes a pop at me. Or I can block you, like the other guy from last week if you want so you don't have to burn your eyes with incandescent rage every time you see me post Let me know buddy, because it's not like I get anything from reading your posts, so this may be a mutually satisfactory outcome.

Tarantino said this like 10 years ago or something in an interview with New York magazine. www.vulture.com/2015/08/quentin-tarantino-lane-brown-in-conversation.htmlOnly one of these is a Cate Blanchett movie

I think him saying " half of these Cate Blanchett movies" was the thing that people took to be kind of an attack on her career at the time. Like he chose to use her as an example of a star with a filmography filled with forgettable Oscarbait without a shelf life. It was an odd dig to single her out with, but Tarantino can be an odd duck. I don't agree with his take on American Hustle at all. Also, Blanchett's response to Tarantino was very classy. She basically said he's entitled to his opinion and not everyone is going to like what you do. Here's her response from another 8.5 year old tweet I'm pulling out of my back pocket. 29 likes this time

Nothing wrong with that neccesarily, but movies like Elizabeth, Veronica Guerin, Charlotte Gray, Carol, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Tar, Truth, Blue Jasmine, Notes On A Scandal, Babel, The Aviator, The Shipping News are movies that are made with at least the partial intent of finding success on the awards circuit. Hence the term "Oscarbait".

They were going for profits first. I mean, a fantasy series about Orcs and Elves was never the kind of thing AMPAS were known for going for. Peter Jackson just managed to craft the whole thing with so much weight and gravitas, that it made it impossible for the Academy to ignore.

Idk, I doubt half those films get funding if the producers don't think there's some awards potential in them. It isn't like Blanchett is a box office draw for British drama programmers.

Factually incorrect, New Line Cinemas specialized in making genre pictures, the only things they made that were remotely awards contenders were extremely small Indie style films. The LOTR being such a big Oscar contender was not within the design of the production, it just happened to turn out that way.

That's why I never mentioned the LOTR trilogy in the list of Blanchett Oscarsbait films mikediastavrone96 was referencing from my post. Because what you say is correct. I actually acknowledge that the LOTR films were never actually concieved to be Oscarbait. They just turned out be so high in quality and had an air of prestige about them, that they ended up being worth pushing for awards.

Yeah, it is basically insane to state that awards recognition wasn't part of the deal with those movies (which I find nothing wrong with btw). The Aviator wasn't made with awards in mind? Elizabeth? Benjamin Button? The Shipping News? Crazy talk.

I For some of those sure, but not the majority. I think people like Scorsese, Fincher, Field, Haynes, del Toro etc. made their films that Blanchett starred for the same reason Tarantino made his films: because they wanted to.

I wouldn't doubt the directors weren't in it just to maximize awards potential, but I would be very doubtful that part of the pitch meeting for most of those wasn't about how the studio's investment will pay off with acclaim and awards. Tarantino films are awards contenders largely because of his own name. Nobody would think on its face that Django Unchained would be an Oscar contender just based on premise. But a biopic about an aviation pioneer and film director suffering from OCD chock full of characters from the golden age of Hollywood? Yeah, that's baity.

His recent favourite, Leonardo DiCaprio, chases Oscar bait materials far more frequently. Everything he does is Oscar bait, he's just not half as good as Blanchett so he has fewer awards and nominations.

He singled out Blanchett because the concept of Oscar bait involves a level of mediocrity to the proceedings, stuff that Blanchett has always done with some regularity. A film merely doing well in terms of getting Oscar nominations doesn't make it Oscar bait. Leo seeks out first class directors, not acting vanity projects. Even the dour J. Edgar - a decidedly mixed effort - has more to recommend it as a movie IMO than something like Maestro, which is an abomination and Oscar bait incarnate.

The Wolf of Wall Street, KOTFM etc. are very cynical films

Um, I'm assuming no ...but then again I don't read Sneider so what do I know........I mean all I want to talk about is The Wild Bunch and stuff but MAR is mostly interested in discssing how boring Austin Butler is........um.....I probably misunderstood that Austin Butler discussion...........he's really good.....sarcasm

Sneider is getting that from a DeuxMoi post that recently said that it was indeed supposed to be Paul Walter Hauser but post-strike he wasn't able to do it, and QT is now looking at a 'controversial figure' who recently hosted SNL. So yeah, the common theory is Gillis.

I'm half-joking because I know contracts get signed and there are legal implications on everybody.......... but Hauser needs to break whatever contract he signed and hire a team of lawyers to have him play that part......imagine if it's a masterpiece and years later he's like "I was in some TV show about a dog or something....I couldn't get out of it............looking back that was a mistake"
