neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Bugonia w/my partner and ya know what? Seeing it for the second time really makes me appreciate how brilliant this movie is. Had Poor Things not happened, I believe this movie would have gotten a lot more Oscar buzz. Also why was the actor who played Teddy not nominated for more awards??
positive · AI labelView post →I reviewed POOR THINGS, which knocked me for a loop. What a joy of a movie, man. Alive with curiosity and cruelty, tenderness and delusion, realism and wretchedness. Amazing performances. One of the few worthwhile riffs on FRANKENSTEIN I've seen. www.patreon.com/posts/995019...
positive · AI labelView post →Saw Poor Things in a Curzon earlier this year. That's an EXPENSIVE way to watch a film. Two women next to me just having full-blown normal volume conversation whenever they fancied it. Eventually I went "hi, shhhhhh" and pointed at the screen. They reacted like they were surprised I'd even noticed.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm saddened to learn of the passing of Dr Elspeth King, the legendary curator of the People's Palace, and a fierce advocate for Glasgow and its history. This was fascinating on the release of the film adaptation of Alasdair Gray's "Poor Things". yoursforscotlandcom.wordpress.com/2024/01/10/p...
neutral · AI labelView post →I was really pulling for Gladstone, and I'm team "Poor Things is the Feminism 101 movie everybody said Barbie was," BUT Emma Stone is AMAZING at playing a baby, and I must give her credit for that.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the wake of Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos's Kinds of Kindness didn't make nearly as much of a splash. I finally watched the film on Hulu last night and enjoyed the hell out of it.
positive · AI labelView post →my dad asked me today if i saw "that movie with Emma Watson and Robert Duvall" and somehow i knew he meant Poor Things and i felt like a god
neutral · AI labelView post →Emma Stone wins the Academy Award for best actress for her role as Bella Baxter in “Poor Things.” The film was up for 11 nominations. Stone applauded the fellow nominees in her category, including Lily Gladstone for her performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Read more: wapo.st/3Teyf7k

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Poor Things and it had some amazing acting, which was unfortunately overshadowed by whatever the fuck that movie was trying way too hard to be
negative · AI labelView post →I have a fairly complete Alasdair Gray collection, btw, since we've been talking about the movie Poor Things. As a beginning writer, I was blown away by Gray, Angela Carter, and Nabokov because, together, they showed me amazing things I didn't know could be done in fiction.

neutral · AI labelView post →But also if you look away from blockbuster world, there are tons of interesting movie success stories since theaters reopened. Like, Poor Things made a bunch of money! Granted, that's among the cinemapilled, but if you cater to that audience and keep budgets in line, you can make a good living!
neutral · AI labelView post →Just saw “Poor Things” and I LOVED it. I feel like I could write ten essays on that movie. And Emma Stone was absolutely incredible. And the COSTUMES 🤩
positive · AI labelView post →I thought this was amazing film making. It various seamlessly from hilarious to gut wrenching. But this is the director of the great movie Poor Things and his artistry is here. It doesn't work for everyone. For me it did, including the end. But I am so angry at humanity, I've become a misanthrope.
positive · AI labelView post →I love directors who take six years to make each movie while Yorgos Lanthimos is out here celebrating each movie release by describing the next one coming six months from now. Poor Things: 2023 Kinds of Kindness: 2024 Bugonia: 2025 No clue how he does it. Or Emma Stone, to be honest.

neutral · AI labelView post →movie that answers the question "what if Poor Things was bad in all the ways you would expect Poor Things to be bad by simply looking at the premise?"
neutral · AI labelView post →my dad, reflecting on Emma Stone's Oscar, mentioned that he needed to see POOR THINGS, and when I asked him what he thought that movie was about he responded "a girl who is always hungry and eating things," so there's that
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think Poor Things was a brilliant movie, but it's the kind of thing I'd like to see more of. Carefully crafted, fucked-up but not afraid to be funny, not too long.
neutral · AI labelView post →Seen the film "Poor Things" today, which is an astonishing, lurid, phantasmagorical piece of cinema. Incredible visuals, incredible sound and music, phenomenal cast and Emma Stone's physical acting is amazing.
positive · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I haven’t posted in a couple weeks, but I’m back! Let me add, that I also watched in the last 2 weeks: The Yellow Canary 1 & 1/2 ⭐️ Hooper 2 ⭐️ Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing 3 & 1/2 ⭐️ Poor Things 1 & 1/2 ⭐️ Not a lot to brag about in that lot. #moviesareswell

neutral · AI labelView post →guess i’m not super excited about another Yargos/Emma film but actually all i can think about when it comes to those two is how someone on Letterboxd called Poor Things “arthouse Frankenhooker”
neutral · AI labelView post →my Oppenheimer opinion is that while there were better movies this year (Poor Things), it has been unfairly painted as a standard Oscar bait drama when it is a far weirder and more specific kind of movie than that, and also was very good
positive · AI labelView post →I love when I get out of a great movie eager to see a whole bunch of other films it reminded me of. Bride of Frankenstein, Young Frankenstein, Lisa Frankenstein, Poor Things, Brotherhood of the Wolf, The Substance, how do I even pick?
neutral · AI labelView post →Heading out to see 'Poor Things' later tonight. I know next to nothing about it and I'm super excited to go into a movie blind.
neutral · AI labelView post →Someone replied to this saying Poor Things is not a horny film. Are you listening to yourself
neutral · AI labelView post →Poor Things is pretty close to my perfect movie. Mad science. Feminism. Lavish visual design. Pastels de nata. It's not often they make a movie for the Shaenon audience, so that's nice.
positive · AI labelView post →‘Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken’ is a photographic vignette by Yorgos Lanthimos. Created on the set of the film ‘Poor Things’ in Budapest.
neutral · AI labelView post →I wrote about "Poor Things," a movie in which Feminism looks like Frankenstein's monster dating Billy Zane from "Titanic," and a movie about The Human Body in which somehow none of the people involved are familiar with the basic mechanics of a uterus: jude-doyle.ghost.io/untitled-15/

neutral · AI labelView post →Poor Things is the movie and I kept trying to appreciate it but it ultimately just made me absolutely irate and not for any of the reasons I've seen other people hate it yet either!
negative · AI labelView post →It’s the very definition of Not For Everyone but Poor Things is also a pretty explicitly feminist movie?

neutral · AI labelView post →Oh boy, tonight's movie is Poor Things. In related news I recently learned I got Know Your Meme'd for this tweet
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, Poor Things is a 5 out of 5 for me. Not much of the clipped bleakness I normally go to a Lanthimos film for but a five star film is a five star film, wouldn't change nothing. The discourse will be insufferable
