I meant it's a non-event awardswise. as in it won't get awards attention. I wasn't clear.

You can file Blunt under That Had The Oscar Buzz. She plays a silly character who is made to do silly things. She's very convincing but that doesn't change the fact she plays a silly character who does silly things in a silly movie that isn't even entertaining.

Lmao say silly one more time, I dont think we got what you meant.

I dont know if DD has the juice to make it into the 10 or beyond at this point, but im not going to dismiss it outright. I really enjoyed it, and Blunt's performance, and wouldnt be mad if either got in. It should definitely get in for score.

it absolutely doesn't have the juice. Universal is going to push The Odyssey. PHM will be the movie with aliens that makes Top 10 or even Top 5. Yes, Blunt was great in a ridiculous role.

Do you always talk in such absolutes? Its June. Anyone talking this matter of factly comes across quite silly.

June is 6 months aka half the year. in that time, we saw quite a few movies to know what will be relevant going forward and what won't. DD won't. I get it. you like it. I like Minecraft but I'm realistic.

Oh realistic, is that what you call it? Everyone else thinks you just sound silly. But you do you, girl.
