I liked his singing. Both he and Emma Stone are pretty raw singers though, very natural. So I can see why one would say this. That said, the music is the best in forever. The songs are so good, can't stop listening to them.
Right but Emma had range....Gosling is just tone deaf.
I like the songs too, nothing that will make it on my music but was good for musical music

Top 10 scene of all time. I watch that scene weekly and cry.

It's a movie that takes tropes from successful movies of the past and mish mashes them together into one movie. It was boring because every time anything happened instead of thinking oh wow that's a creative story, I think oh yeah that's like what happened in this movie or that movie and the ending was straight up full on cliche
Your second and third parts, whatever. That comes down to taste. However, boring is not a criticism of any film. It's lazy and is a substitute for actually figuring out why you didn't like it. Try and come up with a reason beyond "it's boring". That's just lazy and you're better than that.

La La Land is the best film of the year in my opinion, followed by Manchester by the Sea, and then Moonlight.

Woah okay Manchester By the Sea >>>>>>> La La Land

I might just be a sucker for a good musical, but I also enjoyed the message and ending of La La Land more than any film this past year.

It's funny, I don't think the acting was phenomenal and I don't think Stone or Gosling deserve to win their respective Oscar category, but as a film, I just felt the most connected to it compared to any other film; that's why I am rooting for it to win best picture.

Quote:Originally posted by Winter is Coming@Feb 4 2017, 07:19 PMYeah definitely personal taste. There's plenty of films that I love that people raise their eyebrows at. It's not often there's a film that I actually dislike but La La Land was one of them.

I haven't seen Manchester By the Sea, but heard it's a "good film" but depressing af.
So I have 0 interest in seeing it.
Same with La La Land.
Shit year

It's depressing, but very funny.
La La Land is impeccable.
2016 was a terrific year.

Totally agree about La La Land. Though, I'd say The Neon Demon, Arrival, Jackie, The Nice Guys, The Witch, Love & Friendship, and The Edge of Seventeen are definitely terrific as well, and would be right behind it for me.
