Buzzy films that you're just not excited about seeing?

save urself from darkest hour, dear.

I have this weird relationship with The Post, in which for a day I despise how baity it is, and the next I'm super excited to see Streep killing it in a Spielberg flick.
Darkest Hour is a movie that, if it was directed by anyone else than Jow Wright, I just wouldn't care less. But I love Atonement and P&P, so here I am.
I'm not really feeling the love for Disaster Artist, Stronger, that Denzel Washington film, Last Flag Flying and The Florida Project.

Phantom Thread

Phantom Thread, The Post, Molly’s Game, All The Money in the World. Like, I would watch the first three movies, but I can’t stand Ridley Scott outside the Alien films, and maybe Blade Runner (still haven’t seen Gladiator).

I actually just watched Tangerine for the first time last week. I thought it was fine, though I was more impressed by the fact that it was shot on iPhones. What about it disappointed you? I also thought Florida Project was far better, more moving and funny.

The Post looks excruciatingly boring, but I'll reluctantly see it if it gets a BP nom. I will likely never see Molly's Game. I also wasn't too hyped for Three Billboards or Darkest Hour, the former was a pleasant surprise and the latter had its good qualities as well.

TheAlwaysClassy - I think Dafoe getting a Supporting Actor win would be most deserved. He has one particular scene in the middle of the film that I found impressive, and the rest of the movie, he's very sincere and has a commanding presence.
@tylerferrerosorel - I actually have not seen Thelma and Louise either.

I typically feel uninterested in a lot of the buzzy films every year, but this year in particular has already been lame as hell, and the buzzy films left to see don't look much better. The only two I'm still interested in are Call Me by Your Name and I, Tonya and even the latter isn't getting as much buzz as others.

I've not been a fan of Spielberg since Munich, so The Post just looks like more vanilla filmmaking to me and would only be interested in it for Odenkirk, Whitford, and Stuhlbarg. Not much else.

Darkest Hour is a no-go for me. I love Joe Wright, but this just looks like a parody more than anything else.

I like PTA just fine, but Inherent Vice was a huge disappointment for me, and Phantom Thread doesn't look that interesting to me at all. It looks sleep-inducing. I'm sure I'll still check it out down the road, but not looking forward to it (especially since I don't like DDL that much as an actor anyway).

I don't know. Pretty much anything that isn't the two I mentioned at the top really look that interesting to me. Will probably just watch those two in theaters soon, and then try to catch up on free movies I find streaming online.

I'm clearly a huge Oscar bait whore, because the only ones that occur to me right now are Victoria & Abdul, The Greatest Showman and Stronger.

The first one I saw yesterday, Showman I'm probably seeing later today, and Stronger I'll eventually get around to too because it's Gyllenhaal.

Tom Hooper could put out a gay Holocaust drama with Eddie Redmayne and I'd see it just to take part in the discussion.

And to diss it with proper conviction, of course.

Most of them. The only ones that look quite interesting to me are Molly's Game, The Post and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

i mean all of them except PTA maybe

Having now sat through it and subjected myself to what felt like Disney and Ryan Murphy Present: 3 Hours of Sia's Greatest Ballads... critics are going too soft on it.

Being an Oscar bait whore has its downsides.
