Other TV Series and Movies

[ohva]

This general thread is for articles, photos and thoughts on TV series and movies that do not involve the Swedes we follow.

You can find Vikings, House of Cards, Big Little Lies, and all movie posts relating to our Swedes in the actors' respective forums and threads.


Note--We regularly live chat TV series that have nothing to do with our Swedes, so you will probably see news more often on what we chat. But this thread is not exclusively for these series. Feel free to add whatever is of interest to you.

Currently what we live chat:

Outlander
The Walking Dead
Game of Thrones
X-Files
Lucifer
Grimm
Sleepy Hollow
Tyrant (if Fares Fares doesn't return to the series, we'll likely post about it here)

This won't be a 'spoiler free' zone. If you haven't seen an episode of something, be advised. But feel free to post only links if you want to conceal surprises.

Also, if you see something you want to keep here, save it. This will be one of our 'delete or archive' threads on an annual basis.

I'll start with our new mystery man in TWD. Entertainment Weekly was also running an interview with him on their radio station this a.m. Delightful guy, and he is from the same town as Andrew Lincoln, they go way back. He auditioned on Wednesday, got the job on Friday. Maybe Andy put in a good word for him.

I was so anticipating last nights romantic revelations I was completely drunk by 8:30pm. Next to Gurra, scruffy Andrew Lincoln is my second in command. Can't wait to see what Thomas Payne brings to the dynamic of this "New World"

[ohva]

It was a fun episode, something I don't generally say about TWD.

[viqueen]

Yes, it was fun. every episode is different but has a constant continuity. #Richonne

'X-Files' Creator Chris Carter Says Fox Wants More Episodes — It's Just a Matter of When

We live-chatted X-Files. We all agreed the writing was weaker than in the past, but we enjoyed this season anyway. Would it be missed if it didn't return? Probably not much. The ending was so open, it's obvious they are all planning to do another season soon.

Thanks to indies being on TV, I've done better than my usual one or two nominated movies:

Bridge of Spies
Mad Max
The Martian
Spotlight and Room

Also notable
Inside out and of course DOATG.

I hope to watch The Big Short tomorrow, even though I have to buy it. So that only leaves two I wasn't that interested in, Brooklyn and Revenant. Brooklyn is available for purchase, but it hasn't received good enough Oscar buzz for me to care.

I like all the movies I've seen this year better than anything I saw last year, so I hope they are all awarded well. Mad Max was my least favorite, but when I heard the director say it was a silent movie with noise, that helped me make more sense of the movie. Visually it's great, I loved Charlize. But I like movies with speech.

Bridge of Spies was better than critics want to give it credit for, and good acting too. The subject matter is complex, and it's a smart movie. Martian was to me the best top to bottom mainstream big production, the traditional Oscar type movie. I loved it, and Matt Damon. Spotlight was great, but great in the way the really good HBO made for TV movies used to be (but are not now). Room touched my heart tremendously. If we have to compare little boy movies, Room has it all over Boyhood last year, and it will linger with me. It should be more of a best picture contender than it is. I'd have given it the Spirit Indy over Spotlight.

Everyone says the Revenant will win, but I can't generate any real interest in it. I wasn't a huge fan of Iñárritu's Birdman either, it was a movie that I watched once and it never gave me pause to think, or feel, after I left the theater. Keaton was great, that's it for me.

As to Revenant, I agree with the brutally honest critic above, that shooting in terrible conditions should not be a criteria for 'Best Picture'. Park rangers worldwide must be laughing their asses off at the'bravery' of Hollywood enduring such rough natural conditions.

So my thoughts. See you Oscar night!

[ohva]

I watched the Big Short. I'd probably give it Best Picture. Even if it is the 'easy' explanation of the housing melt down, it was still over my head in many places. But it's a big concept complex picture with great acting by all involved, and many actors were involved.

I watched all the movies except for Brooklyn, and I agree ohva, my vote would be for the Big Short as well.

I know that most of you are rooting for Alicia, but I'm on the category fraud band wagon. I loved her in The Danish Girl, but it was not a supporting part. If she had been nominated for EM, absolutely. But my vote here goes to Kate Winslet.

I've watched the oscars for so many years, and I hate when the studios does this "trying to slip them into a category, where they have a better chance of winning". Weinstein did it years ago with Kate Winslet, trying to get here nominated as lead for Revolutionary Road and supporting for The Reader. Fortunately, back then the voters didn't buy it. Surprised they did in two cases this year.

Hello Dane!!!!

Agree with you. I'm not too worried about Alicia, I think she'll win an Oscar sooner or later.

But the country of Sweden is all in!! I've been looking at some of their coverage, a Big Deal.

Joel must have been interviewed at the Nordisk party last night. Alex was there too.

Joel Kinnaman fine greeting to Vikander

Alicia Vikander can write Swedish Oscars history night to Monday.

Here is Joel Kinnaman greeting to his colleague.

- We keep our fingers crossed for Alicia! She's so cruel and so worth it. The film is amazing, he says.

Before the Oscars, which is the 88 th row, held a number of pre-party on Saturday night. Nordisk Film had a party at which, among others, Tova Novotny, Joel Kinnaman and Alexander Skarsgård attended.

Alicia Vikander can on Sunday evening to win an Oscar statuette for Best Supporting Actress, for her performance in "The Danish Girl".

It's just a Swedish female actor who has previously won an Oscar. Namely, Ingrid Bergman, who managed the feat three times, the last of which was 47 years ago.

"All cheering on Alicia"
Now the actor Joel Kinnaman send a greeting to his Swedish colleague Alicia Vikander, and hope she wins.

- We keep our fingers crossed for Alicia! She's so cruel and so worth it. The film is fantastic. All cheering on Alicia so I just say good luck! he says.

Icona Pop: "Could not be more proud"

In the past, Swedish duo Icona Pop star, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, also sent her best wishes to her friend they even lived with.

- We could not be more proud of our fantastic friend. We have seen her fight and just run the iron. So we hope with all the energy she wins on Sunday, because we think that she is worth, says Caroline Hjelt.

When Alicia Vikander was 22 years old, in 2010, she got her breakthrough in the movie "For what is beautiful" and was awarded a Guldbagge.


"Has worked tremendously hard"

Since then his career has basically gone straight up - and today she is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood.
But Alicia Vika Flinders father Svante Vikander said earlier that it is hard work behind the success.

- It's been step by step. For me it does not feel this suddenly. She has worked tremendously hard. 15-18 hours per day, and she has not had a normal weekend in several years. But now I'm so incredibly proud. And whether she wins on Sunday or not, she is always a winner in my eyes, he has previously said.
