I think the budgets are so small in Latin America, that production values suffer, making it difficult to find distribution in the USA. Cultural differences, like the acceptance of characters wearing clown make-up, also make it hard to get anything besides, "Drug Cartel Shoot-Em-Ups" across the border (see "El Mariachi"). Besides an adoration of big guns, long legs, high heels, cocktail dresses, and enhancement surgery, there is not much else that translates. |

Alejandro González Iñárritu after making one single low budget film set in Mexico City in Spanish has moved up to be one of the most celebrated English language film directors.All four of his english language films have been nominated for Academy Awards. 21 Grams (2003), Babel (2006), Biutiful (2010), and Birdman (2014) Alfonso Cuarón Orozco has drifted back and forth from English to Spanish films, but has hugely successful "English films. However, I am still surprised that so few films are remade considering the long list of French films remade into English. |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | This year's Golden Globe has only 1 broadcast show, and only 2 shows from basic Cable out of 10 nominees for Best Television Series Musical or Comedy The Good Place -----------NBC only broadcast show Barry - HBO Kidding - Showtime The Kominsky Method - Netflix The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Amazon Drama The Americans- FX Pose - FX Bodyguard - BBC Homecoming -Amazon Killing Eve - BBC America As always, the target audience for the movie nominations is very different. A movie that sells only a few million tickets (or less) is crafted very differently that a movie that is designed to sell tens of millions of tickets. Best Motion Picture Drama Black Panther - 76 million tickets A Star Is Born - 23 million tickets Bohemian Rhapsody - 22 million tickets BlacKkKlansman - 5.5 million tickets If Beale Street Could Talk - 362 thousand tickets Musical or Comedy Crazy Rich Asians - 20 million tickets Mary Poppins Returns - 15 million tickets Green Book - 4 million tickets Vice - 3 million tickets (how is this movie a musical or comedy) The Favourite - 2 million tickets (how is this movie a musical or comedy) |

| terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11791 | What's the big deal with the Golden Globes The voters are journalists that write for foreign news outlets. Why should we value the opinions of non-Americans judging American entertainment Why should I care about what US entertainment somebody not from this country likes Too me, it makes no sense. Lets have a music awards show with voters from outer Mongolia determining the winners Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I just don't get it. One of the worst movies in the last 10 years. It was beyond stupid. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It's worse than that. The winners are the ones who paid the most to win. I lost what minuscule respect I had when the Martian won for best comedy. The Martian won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy because everything is a lie. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

It’s all a giant advertisement. Hoping that it’s anything else will only lead to disappointment. |

What I could stomach of the green black people and the ridiculous story line and terrible acting. I lasted about 40 min. There are hundreds of 1 star reviews on IMDB tearing this movie apart, it was that bad. Here's one that I could have wrote: I outright laughed at the beginning of the movie, Lion King meets Wonder Woman...lol. HIDDEN GIANT CITY with mass transit system in the sky, flying ships, and people who gather on steep rocks to watch a fight. I mean the entire concept is ridiculous. The CGI is mediocre and disappointing. The actors were HORRIBLE...whoever wrote the lines to this pile of crap should be run out of Hollywood. WHO the hell said this was the BEST Marvel film ever???? Kept falling asleep as well due to lack of action and horrible dialogue. 2 hours of my busy life ill never get back. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
