Not saying he isn’t talent. I didn’t see him in the role but he’s clearly a great singer and actor but the fact that his only Broadway credits before this were shows his father has produced just sits weird with me. And how we are all okay with it. How it’s like oh you just need a Tony award winning producer father to get ahead in this business. I don’t know. I think the show - at least on stage - is boring and repetitive. And the trailer is not my thing."

That's a lie and it's important to point that out. Marc Platt had nothing to do with The Book of Mormon. Facts matter.

"Daddy does have friends so"

This is the most embarrassed Ive ever felt for anyone on this board. The fact that you simply won't admit that you told a LIE that was debunked in 30 seconds is shocking, hilarious, sad, stupid and deeply disturbing allll at once.

You lied. Admitting fault is what actual adults do. The fact you refuse to give it up is astonishing.

I think you’re being dramatic. Modern audiences are perfectly able to sit for longer films. There have always been longer films. I can sit for a longer film. I’m an avid film goer. The product needs to warrant a longer run time and attention span. I think it’s sad that modern directors and editors are less judicious and unable to critically look at their work and make appropriate cuts. IMHO In The Heights could have easily shaved 20-25 minutes off. I found myself looking at my watch after the first 90 minutes.


I think what I find bothersome is the norm infilms nowadays is to run longer than two hours. I think film makers have a harder time making edits. When you realize an effective film or play can tell a remarkable story often in 80-90 minutes there had better be good reason for all the extra padding.


I’m not a fan of sci-fi, action or any of the marvel universe stuff but I know those films are insufferably long. I don’t know how people do it. Especially with how overstimulating and loud they are. But I’m not a fan of the genre so it’s not possible for me to understand. The receipts speak for themselves. People can and do sit sit for it.


I have no issue with long theatre because there is an intermission. I don’t like missing parts of a film. Long films and film musicals used to have intermissions. When I saw A Chorus Line at the movies as a kid there was an intermission. When I saw Reds and Dr Zhivago at the movies as preteen there was an intermission. Back when movie going felt likea special experience. Now it often feels very guttural. I just hope with baited breath that I’m not placed in a recliner next to someone eating chicken fingers or loaded potato skins or someone who brings a blanket, falls asleep and farts through the movie.

IT'S A PROVEN FACT THAT AS PEOPLE GET OLDER THEIR ATTENTION SPAN GETS SHORTER. FOR SOME, THIS STARTS WHEN THEY HIT 50, LIKE YOU.

But I have no problem paying attention to longer works as I stated. Must you scream?

A film version of Dear Evan Hansen that's over 2 hours? This should be interesting.

September 24th

Is this garnering any sort of award buzz? For a movie thats being heavily promoted Im hearing nada.

I follow a Lot of film twitter, and there’s maybe 4% who even have DEH in the conversation. Unless Ben is beyond extraordinary, he won’t be nominated - with the backlog of films and just the interest in and quality of the competition this year, Best Actor is way overcrowded. If the film would have been made and released for last year, it’d be a whole different story. Adams and Moore are big question marks as to Supporting - it will all hinge on So Big for Moore, and what exactly Adams gets to do at all (there are very unconfirmed rumors that Anyone/Map has been replaced with a new song - I hope that’s not true. The new song, likely over closing credits, may have a shot for Best Song.

I still don’t know how TIFF is doing the allegedly worldwide streaming on Sept 9 - whether truly worldwide, how many slots open, etc. Agree it all depends on the TIFF reviews, Day and date Sept 9. DEH would have been catnip to Hollywood Foreign Press, but so long Globes

Don't be so quick to judge the person who said ACL had an intermission when they saw it. I have heard of instances where theatres have inserted their own intermission in various films in an attempt to get a few extra $$$'s in concession sales. This practice is highly frowned upon by the studios and is actually in violation of their license agreements for the showing of their films but, unless someone complains or notifies them, how are they going to know?

I agree, honestly I think Steven Spielberg and his version of West Side Story has far better chances for awards love (except the Globes for obvious reasons) than Dear Evan Hansen.

The 2022 Golden Globe Awards is still happening. NBC announced months ago it is cancelling plans on airing the ceremony. The Golden Globe Awards are still happening, nominations will be announced and the ceremony will take place. Until further notice, the ceremony currently has no television broadcast.
