I tried to watch "Marty Supreme"

[bif]

I actually stuck it out for the first hour and a half. But I had to bail. I thought the costumes and sets were great, as was the cinematography. But he's a thoroughly unlikable character (which is the point, I get it). But there isn't a single likable character in the film. My only regret is not quitting sooner. It was just tedious.

1. Agreed .

I struggled to understand why this was a story that needed telling on film.


PS: watched Song Sung Blue last night.
A movie that I would never have chosen to go to the theater to see. Not a Neil Diamond fan and just not my normal cup of tea but…I thought it was really fantastic. High Jackman was really good and the whole cast was great.
Not at all what I expected.

3. I watched Song Sung Blue twice. It is just an enjoyable movie and I thought the performances were great.

Refreshing to see a movie with no foul language, no violence, no sex. I highly recommend it to anyone.

6. Could not agree more.

A throwback to the kind of movies they don’t seem to make anymore.

2. Yeah. I haven't seen it because I found the promos highly unlikeable... But it is interesting

that Timothy Chalamet (and his promoters) thought he would get an Academy award for that movie and seemingly pitched such a fit about it that attendees at the Oscars basically shunned him (at least that is what I read). I know you didn't finish it, but was his performance even nomination-worthy?

4. I liked Marty Supreme but I like Timothy Chalamet in anything.

He gave an Oscar worthy performance in Complete Unkown.

5. Did you think his Marty Supreme performance was Oscar-worthy?

8. His performance was really good

He played an obnoxious, egomaniac perfectly. But I couldn't stand the film.

10. Probably not, but like I said, I think he is a very good actor.

Did he do all the table tennis shots or did they use a double? In Complete Unkown he did all the singing and guitar work. Worked for like 5 years on playing Dylan and he nailed it.

[hlthe2b]

11. Yes. I thought he was quite good playing Dylan.

7. One of the worst movies of 2026

We really wanted to like it…..but we didn’t.

Some movies are great to watch again. This is not one of them.

Or, to misquote Dorothy Parker, ‘This is not a movie to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.’

9. I loved it. I didn't like the characters, but I LOVED this character study of a narcissist who was laser-focused

on himself and his own ambition and finally faced a reckoning. It was funny, frenetic, unpredictable, incredibly well-acted, and beautifully filmed. To me, it had a lot to say.
