Creed, the movie, not the band

Key-riste on a cracker. Why can't all popcorn movies be as good as this one?

I believe Stallone might finally get an Oscar.

Such a damn enjoyable movie.

I know, right? But seriously, it's so much better than we thought possible. And just so many many smart little directorial moves. Just terrific.

And the sound is fantastic and the score and the cinematography...

I think you'll enjoy it.

Hamilton22 said: "I was also genuinely surprised at how good Creed was. I've never liked boxer films (though I did like The Fighter) but this one blew me away. Stallone is my frontrunner for supporting Actor at the Oscars at the moment. Would be a great comeback story if he won."

When did the compulsion start whereby the second people see something, they immediately think which awards it should win? I honestly don't think about awards at all until they announce the nominations. Like, why is box office and awards how we measure the value of art? Like why not just be happy you saw art that moved you? This isn't really about Hamilton22, just a broader societal thang.

Entertainment Weekly is just as bad. They even go as far as to use global grosses when making a positive statement about something, but when they are doing the reverse, they say only made $XXM domestically. I do want to see Creed, though. I thought the Rocky Balboa movie was good, too.

What makes you think the people that saw the film aren't just happy they saw it? Only a small portion of movie goers care about the academy awards, much more people just see films because it interests them. Besides, Most people know box office success doesn't actually mean the film was good or not.

And to answer your question (which I'm sure you already know the answer to) it is because it's award season.My main question to you though is why do you care? The award season is a harmless hobby for some people and it's certainly not doing any harm.It's no different than people picking their favorite football teams for the superbowl. Not sure why you are upset about people trying to figure out who will get nominated.

Ps. I didn't say Stallone should win. There is no "compulsion". I said he is my frontunner right now but that could change as there are many films to be seen still.

It's just how our society works, haterobics.

Lol what? No it's not new. Like at all. It's been going on since Oscars,Tony's and just about every type of competition started out

Ended up catching this between events yesterday, and it was a lot of fun, although I didn't remember the backstory of Apollo's death (and I guess they weren't too keen on bringing Rocky IV into the mix), but it hardly mattered.
