Hot take: Oscar bait is a really stupid name people use to denounce otherwise decent-to-great dramas or biopics in an attempt to sound above films made for "snooty elites," and I hate how it's used as a pejorative term, as if making a good movie that appeals to Academy voters and gives good directors and actors a chance to tell compelling and important stories is somehow a bad thing.

Also of note animation-wise, 1998 was the first year where non-Disney animated films became blockbusters, with both The Rugrats Movie and The Prince of Egypt grossing over $100M in the domestic box office. The success of both signaled animated movies could be successful without having the name of the most popular animation brand and helped usher in a new wave of animated movies. While Rugrats really only spawned a brief trend of animated features based on popular TV cartoons, like The Powerpuff Girls and Spongebob, Prince of Egypt helped put Dreamworks Animation on the map, a studio that later created an absolutely incredible hit streak of movies and in a way created every other non-Disney animation studio that's still running today. Without these movies, animation probably wouldn't be such the big moneymaker it is today, making Rugrats and Egypt low-key some of the most important works in animation history.

Loving Vincent just recently got its release date, and I think there's the possibility of that film sneaking in.

Yeah, that's the one thing that bothers me about the movie. I don't know the age of consent in other countries, but it still makes me slightly uncomfortable to see a movie with a teen and an adult in a relationship. I prefer Hammer to Shia, but at least he looks like a 24-year old and would make the movie a little less creepy than 28-year old Hammer, who looks like he's in his 30s.

There's actually a very interesting thread made a couple of years back that was all about what a Titanic thread would probably be like. It's a long read, but an enjoyable one. As for the movie, I feel bad to admit I only saw it last year, but I was surprised by how well it holds up. Most of it definitely comes down to the characters, but even the visuals themselves are still something to behold, even years later.
