when did he win an oscar for this?

[mchookem 16593]

ohhh Trent could win another one too!

so...interesting that the trailer mentions 'director of Skyfall and 1917' but doesn't mention the movie he actually won an Oscar for previously. i mean i assume that was for the obvious reasons 🤨😒

Getting kind of hammered in the reviews.

The only good thing to come from Kevin Spacey being a predator is American Beauty getting canceled. 

How do you cancel a movie 20 years after it was released? Do you mean House of Cards?

Canceled in the cancel culture sense. It’s the movie Sam Mendes won an Oscar for directing, but they won’t even use it in his bio.  And I don’t have to endure the pain of accidentally seeing it while I flip channels anymore. 

Are you just watching OTA channels? It's on Netflix and two HBO channels this week. I have IPTV with every movie channel possible and AB is on constantly. One of the UK SkyTV movie channels was running it recently.

That and it's an overrated movie.

It's so beautiful y'all

road to perdition and revolutionary road are great.  away we go is underrated.  plenty to mention while still avoiding american beauty.  but that movie is also 23 years old so that might be part of it.  maybe they wanted to keep with brit-centric overlap.

Incredibly rewatchable.

And Skyfall is the best Bond movie ever.  Fight me.
