[laughs]

Uh, but I think it's really, I, I think it's a very, people were expecting that fun, bright, bouncy first movie, and it's a darker thing.

But I think it makes a lot of, a lot of interesting comments on society today, and, uh, even if you say, "Why didn't Cynthia Erivo, why did they get snubbed, or Ariana Grande?" How do you not give this movie, I mean, technical awards like, like production design and, and costumes, and, I mean, it's an eye-popping spectacle.

It's amazing.

So I think that's a major snub.

And as you said, I think Jesse Plemons in Begonia was a snub.

And, um, yeah, there's, there, there are a bunch of snubs, you know.

Well, enjoy the Oscar show, nevertheless.

[laughs]

Uh, but I think it's really, I, I think it's a very...

Yeah.

Yeah

... a ticket.

So if you have a Netflix subscription or a Hulu or an Amazon Prime or a Paramount Plus subscription, and you're paying 9 to 13 bucks for that a month as opposed to going out with your family and spending 100 bucks, and in some cities, you know, you gotta pay for parking, you know? And I mean, you're talking about $120 where you're spending 9 to 13 bucks, you know, if you, 9 bucks if you want the commercials on Netflix, 13 if you want premium package, and you're getting all these movies, and they, and they're coming there a few weeks later.

So what advice would I give? Um, to, to answer your question, which is, I gave you a long preamble before I gave-

Mm.

Um, I liked it, it, it was-- It stars the same people who did Poor Things.

I liked this movie, Begonia, way better than, um, than Poor Things.

I think it was interesting.

It-

I mean, it's an okay movie, but I don't think it's worthy of the most nominations.

And if you would've asked me how this movie would fare in the actual Oscar ceremony a few weeks ago, I would've told you that, you know, I don't think it's gonna win that much.

But ever since the BAFTA Awards and what used to be called the SAG Awards, and it's now called the Actor Awards-

Yeah

... a ticket.

And I mean, you're talking about $120 where you're spending 9 to 13 bucks, you know, if you-- Nine bucks if you want the commercials on Netflix, 13 if you want premium package, and you're getting all these movies, and they, and they're coming there a few weeks later.

So what advice would I give? Um, to, to answer your question, which is, I gave you a long preamble before I gave, I gave you the answer.Um, it's not so much the movie theaters, it's, it's the studios that have to churn out this stuff, these big blockbuster movies which people don't want-- which people wanna see on a big screen, um, or just something where, like, they don't wanna wait.
