Comments by "Connor Webb" (@connorw2k) on "Top 10 Movies That Are Better Than Best Picture Winners" video.

  1. Debatable.
    14
  2. I think they're specifically talking about other nominated movies being better than eventual winners but honestly I have no fucking clue.
    8
  3. Roma was wayyy better than Green Book.
    5
  4.  @mariogamefreak1  You found it boring. So what? It had an intentionally slow pace. People will be bored, but that's not the movie's fault. If a thriller is boring, that's when being boring is a problem. But Roma has a simple story. When someone finds a movie like Roma boring, it's due to personal preference. Anyway, from a technical standpoint Roma was far superior to Green Book.
    4
  5. Slumdog isn't absolutely awful. It's still really good. Logan isn't MCU. It's Fox. Black Panther isn't racist.
    4
  6. Doesn't mean it's not well made
    3
  7. Rocky won a year ahead of Star Wars...
    2
  8. And I don't think anyone enjoys being bored so I'm not surprised...
    2
  9. Well, it doesn't seem like you take note of a movie's cinematography, production design, sound (Roma's sound was incredible if you saw it in a theatre - just throwing it out there), etc. Am I right?
    2
  10. Ya
    2
  11. Lol what??
    2
  12.  @rambunctiousrohan  Nah it's not that. I like it. But I thought Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, and Django were all better.
    2
  13. I'd say Green Book was also better than Vice and Black Panther.
    2
  14. Ummm... regardless of whether or not it ended racism, it's still better than Vice at the least.
    2
  15. It didn't?
    2
  16. The Emoji Movie over The Shape of Water, you mean?
    2
  17. Wouldn't you say an organization that looks at Motion Picture Arts & Sciences should praise a technically flawless movie?
    2
  18. Umm... Birdman won. And it was better than both of those.
    2
  19. I didn't know devout Catholics used technology.
    2
  20.  @artemisstrong5113  Yes
    2
  21. They were both great movies.
    2
  22. No. Both were
    2
  23. Well Crash was not a great movie. Especially considering the competition
    2
  24. Hell yeah brother
    2
  25. No it hasn't.
    2
  26. Birdman wasn't boring.
    2
  27. Score Editing Screenplay Eisenberg Garfield David Fincher Winklevoss twin compositing The hacking scene The club scene
    2
  28. Birdman was a bit better.
    2
  29. Annie Hall was a great comedy. Star Wars was a great sci-fi movie (and I guess Close Encounters was too but a bird died and that pissed me off).
    2
  30. You think Lady Bird is better than The Shape of Water? You think Lady Bird is the best movie out of all those nominated?
    2
  31. Wrong year
    1
  32. Shakespeare in Love sucks
    1
  33. "definitely"
    1
  34. this one
    1
  35. Any person with common sense would know not to make an argument on an "if" statement.
    1
  36. Arguments are made on things that happen. Not on things that could have happened. You are trying to argue why it IS a bad movie rather than why it COULD HAVE BEEN a bad movie, right
    1
  37. MrVhatever It could have been a bad movie that could have been horribly overrated (IF IT WAS ABOUT A STRAIGHT COUPLE)*
    1
  38. MrVhatever you clearly don't understand that conflicts existed in the movie because the characters were gay. You clearly don't understand that there was a certain level of tension because they were gay. You clearly don't understand that the fact that they were gay developed the characters. You clearly don't understand that there wouldn't have been a movie if it weren't about gay guys.
    1
  39. That's relevant....
    1
  40. I would understand if your source was The Onion
    1
  41. What does that have to do with their part in Zero Dark Thirty?
    1
  42. Boyhood sucks
    1
  43. Titanic was a really big technical achievement, so I don't know if it was about how great the movies were. Honestly, Best Picture is an award for movies that achieve something on a grand scale (or at least it used to be about that). That's why I think Titanic won.
    1
  44. American Beauty is still a great film. 1999 was just a great year.
    1
  45. @Diego Pisfil Ya it is
    1
  46. @Diego Pisfil Lets not think on comparisons. On its own, I think its still a great movie.
    1
  47. @Diego Pisfil I don't think its forgettable. And I wouldn't call it empty spectacle because I don't think its a spectacle to begin with. It feels very contemplative.
    1
  48. @Diego Pisfil I wouldn't say it was clichéd in 1999.
    1
  49. @Diego Pisfil Maybe it is a bit overrated, but I can't say for sure since I haven't seen it in four years. Maybe someone else, such as Russell Crowe, deserved the Oscar over Spacey (also can't say for sure since I haven't seen The Insider in five years). But outside of awards talk, comparisons to other movies, and the praise from the general public, I still think American Beauty is a damn good well-crafted film.
    1
  50. @Diego Pisfil I'll keep defending the movie if you want.
    1
  51. It just did
    1
  52. Annie Hall is a great movie too
    1
  53. The Artist overshadowed by Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.
    1
  54. @Diego Pisfil You know it's a fucking joke, right?
    1
  55. Why should we even try? You've just proven that you don't give a shit about film.
    1
  56. LMFAO
    1
  57.  @haydensofield5560  Lol
    1
  58. The Dark Knight came out a year after No Country
    1
  59. Lol nope
    1
  60. Film critics don't run the Oscars so what are you trying to say here?
    1
  61.  @themellonman9886  I see
    1
  62. There are tons of people saying The Social Network is garbage, that it's boring, that it sucks. No it isn't. You clearly don't remember it. Or you don't have interest in the technical aspects of filmmaking. It's one of the most fast-paced films other than some action movies. The script is one of the best ever made. I suggest watching it again.
    1
  63. Not The Avengers or The Hobbit
    1
  64. So many people like The Social Network over The King's Speech. You're claim also couldn't be more false.
    1
  65. They're all 10/10
    1
  66. I agree with them on The Social Network
    1
  67. Remember when The Hurt Locker won? Remember when Bigelow won Best Director? Remember that being before Zero Dark Thirty coming out?
    1
  68. were you there in 1978?
    1
  69. Interstellar wasn't even close to Birdman. Or even Whiplash.
    1
  70. @Diego Pisfil You clearly don't know much about filmmaking.
    1
  71. You never will
    1
  72. That probably is why they gave it to Moonlight, but I fucking loved the movie. Even better than La La Land. And the point of it was to tell the story of a gay black boy. I mean, come on did you really have to ask?
    1
  73. They're both great tho
    1
  74. @Diego Pisfil Opinion.
    1
  75. @Diego Pisfil lmfao
    1
  76. @Diego Pisfil Explain how it hasn't aged well then. Its a WWII movie, which are still being made to this day. Its not a movie that does or doesn't age well. Its a product of its time about that time.
    1
  77. @Diego Pisfil I suppose
    1
  78. There's more to movies than simple plot synopses.
    1
  79.  @bandgeek89  The Social Network had great editing, and a great score.
    1
  80.  @bandgeek89  Sucks to be you
    1
  81. I don't think so. But The Wolf of Wall Street should've been nominated for and should've won Best Film Editing.
    1
  82. Shawshank should've won Best Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography (possibly - I haven't seen Legends of the Fall), and Original Score too.
    1
  83. Well if they didn't find it boring there is nothing to forget.
    1
  84. @Diego Pisfil I've seen your comments on all the Oscar videos this year. They're biased as fuck and they suck. Just saying.
    1
  85. Writing was better in The Social Network tho
    1
  86.  @Kore_Memories  Ok
    1
  87. Lmao
    1
  88. Alright
    1
  89. For actor? Hell yeah.
    1
  90. That is to imply that Crash was the second best...
    1
  91. So what if you're Indian? Ya, the movie takes place in India and the main character is Indian. So what?
    1
  92. It's not a documentary. If you're looking for authentication and accuracy, there's a doc called Born into Brothels that was filmed in Calcutta (I believe).
    1
  93. Meanwhile, Slumdog Millionaire is a fictional movie. It may not depict the people accurately, but maybe it wasn't all concerned in doing so in order to tell the story.
    1
  94. You scared me for a second
    1
  95.  @elonmust8859  disgusting
    1
  96. I don't know if Avatar was better than The Hurt Locker...
    1
  97. Debatable
    1
  98. No Country was from the previous year. Slumdog Millionaire won the year of The Dark Knight.
    1
  99. I'm pretty sure you're just a Star Wars fanboy who knows nothing about Oscars. You are probably just upset that they didn't pick your fetish in 1977.
    1
  100. You think the Oscars are chosen by critics. No they aren't. If you knew anything about the Oscars, you would know what type of people the members of the Academy are.
    1
  101. You think money plays a role in what are the best movies. They aren't. The movies that make money are the movies with huge marketing budgets. That's why Michael Bay movies still make money.
    1
  102. You think the movies they pick for Best Picture are boring, weird, and yucky. You'd probably vote for a mainstream movie that doesn't do anything interesting. Probably has a shitty script. But that doesn't matter to you. All you like are the action adventure movies that do the same shit every time. Have fun rooting for Black Panther to win Best Picture tomorrow, because it has little chance of winning.
    1
  103. Birdman, Whiplash, and The Grand Budapest Hotel were the best ones nominated that year
    1
  104. @Diego Pisfil Nope. Boyhood is one of the worst movies of that year. Birdman is a perfect movie and if you can't see that then oh well.
    1
  105. Raiders is the sort of movie to get nominated Best Picture though. So what do you say to that?
    1
  106. You just overrated The Dark Knight
    1
  107.  @marvelvsdc6624  I know but I still think thats a bit of a stretch.
    1
  108. Hell yeah brother
    1
  109. Quite the take
    1
  110. Shawshank technically didn't overshadow it at the time.... I wonder if people saw it in theatres if it would be a greater upset.
    1
  111.  @artemisstrong5113  Because McDonalds is a franchise?
    1
  112.  @artemisstrong5113  "My dear"? My grandmother is still alive and she doesn't even fucking say that shit.
    1
  113. no it isn't.
    1
  114. The Tree of Life came out the year after.
    1
  115. I really loved The Best Years of Our Lives
    1
  116. Interstellar didn't overshadow Birdman.
    1
  117. THREE BILLBOARDS!
    1
  118. I simply just wrote that, because I think it should have won as well.
    1
  119.  @gamingwithbombs  Because that can be measured...
    1
  120. Its also not impossible to really enjoy a piece of shit like Rampage or Skyscraper (Rock is on the mind). Those were so bad they were entertaining and I enjoyed my time watching those movies.
    1
  121. You sure you don't mean Toy Story 3?
    1
  122. Funny
    1
  123. @Diego Pisfil You haven't had a good film take since ever
    1
  124. The Sting was a hell of a lot better than American Graffiti to me
    1
  125. That pisses you off?
    1
  126. It's an opinion
    1
  127.  @BrendanJSmith  I don't see it that way
    1
  128.  @BrendanJSmith  Oh please. If its out of the movies nominated that year, anyone will tell us The Exorcist is better than both of them.
    1
  129.  @BrendanJSmith  I see The Sting on IMDb's list of the top 250 movies. American Graffiti isn't there. The Exorcist isn't even there for some reason.
    1
  130. The torture lasted for the first half hour of a two and a half hour movie. It didn't say that the torture was necessary. The torture scenes weren't even toned down. They were very brutal. If the CIA was behind it, they would not show an entire thirty minutes of their unethical actions. You're a fucking idiot.
    1
  131. Hell no
    1
  132. So was Moonlight
    1
  133. @Diego Pisfil Hacksaw sucked
    1
  134. @Diego Pisfil like seriously, your complaints about 1917 apply tenfold to Hacksaw Ridge.
    1
  135. ​@Diego Pisfil Are you quoting Billy Madison there or are you simply a man-child just like Billy Madison?
    1
  136. I don't agree
    1
  137. Social Network is though
    1
  138. "IT TOOK 12 YEARS TO MAKE"
    1
  139. I assume you are the one that gets people talking about American Sniper so people don't forget about it.
    1
  140. I don't know.....
    1
  141. no
    1
  142. Does Star Wars only overshadow Annie Hall according to you because you believe people haven't even watched Annie Hall? Because you also haven't watched it?
    1
  143. 1. This list wasn't made this year 2. Endgame isn't that good.
    1
  144. I think Cries & Whispers was the best that year.
    1
  145.  @jameshills7425  Yes it did
    1
  146. Not in the slightest
    1
  147. Mmmm yeah ok whatever you say
    1
  148. No it didn't
    1
  149. Zero Dark Thirty nor Argo were propaganda films.
    1
  150. @Diego Pisfil It also was no Parasite
    1
  151. The Truman Show wasn't even nominated Picture
    1
  152. @Diego Pisfil Why are you commenting twice on comments now?
    1
  153. The Godfather won
    1
  154. As well as The Favourite.
    1
  155. "they don't even nominate known movies" well yes they do. The only people who do not know the movies that they nominate are the hermits that don't get out from under their rocks when a movie other than some bullshit Marvel or some other dumb fun big budget movie is released in theatres.
    1
  156. Good thing too
    1
  157. "judges"
    1
  158. not even fucking close
    1
  159. @Diego Pisfil Harry Potter
    1
  160. not exactly
    1
  161. Naw Birdman was excellent.
    1
  162. Not in the slightest
    1
  163. Disgusting
    1
  164. i agree
    1
  165. The Social Network is better. Stop lying to yourself. You're just gonna cry yourself to sleep at night until you admit the truth.
    1
  166. I was just joking. It's intentionally over the top and cliche. Don't get offended. But since you mentioned it, box office doesn't determine quality. The King's Speech was released after The Social Network. The Social Network closed at the same time the Oscars happened. The King's Speech did not, and made quite a bit after it won. If it had not won, probably wouldn't have made more money. The King's Speech also had international appeal. People in Europe are interested in a movie about a British monarchy figure. They don't care about the Facebook creator. The King's Speech deserved Best Actor. Colin Firth was great. Tom Hooper directed the movie very well too. But I still think The Social Network was better because of the far superior writing and film editing.
    1
  167.  @spotmotion7452  I know its better. I ain't exactly gonna have a character from Parasite as my profile pic, now am I? But are you saying other movies should have won over Parasite?
    1
  168. @Diego Pisfil I know you think that but I was asking the other guy.
    1
  169. They're literally both on the same level. They are both perfect films. The best case scenario for that year would have been for those films to tie for Best Picture.
    1
  170. @Diego Pisfil Don't @ me, man
    1
  171. So did I
    1
  172. Is it opposites day?
    1
  173. Do you mean The Dark Knight>Slumdog Millionaire?
    1
  174.  @isakdahl7054  I mean, that is just the basic stuff that everyone loves. Something more implicit I like about it is that it all relates back to the girl from the beginning, basically. How what she said haunts Mark because he realizes over the course of the film she was right. He talks to her at the restaurant an hour in; in the club he asks Sean "do you ever think about her" as in the girl who inspired him to create Napster; and sending her a friend request at the end. Hard to say whether that happened in real life, but its great because it becomes its own thing in that way.
    1
  175. Hacksaw Ridge wasn't better than Moonlight. It was like the worst movie of the ones nominated that year.
    1
  176. Fargo is from another year
    1
  177. No. They were both great, but 12 Years deserved it.
    1
  178. @Diego Pisfil Don't @ me, man
    1
  179. "ex CIA"
    1
  180. Nebraska was so boring. There was only one memorable scene (to me, atleast) when Bruce Dern is talking about why doing the whole trip is so important to him.
    1
  181. Nebraska came out a year after Argo, but you know... Also, Room? I didn't even think that should've been nominated for anything other than Best Actress.
    1
  182. lloolloollooii I don't know... it had its powerful moments but they were far apart from eachother, surrounded by cheese
    1
  183. The Revenant.. ya.
    1
  184. I'm an expert on this. It won't.
    1
  185. Deserved Screenplay, Editing, and Score even though its boring? You contradicted yourself there.
    1
  186. @Diego Pisfil Harry Potter
    1
  187. ha!
    1
  188. I don't believe it's about what's gonna age better.
    1
  189. Disagree about Boyhood
    1
  190. So is Shawshank, I've heard.
    1
  191. no
    1
  192. YES
    1
  193. Nope
    1
  194. Be honest. It does at least come close to The King's Speech. If one is great and the other is also great (to the point of being referred to as a masterpiece), they're close.
    1
  195. Granted. I'm just saying it comes close whether you like it or not.
