week 7 no

Because they're idiots who mostly give awards to people and things that are the most hyped, the most campaigned and the easiest to like. If you're that fixated on recognition Pattinson has Independent Spirit and Gotham nominations for Good Time in addition to a ton of critics' praise for that movie and others mentioned above, which is worth a lot more than the fucking Golden Globes.

Were you in hibernation between 2012 and now?

More like in 2001. With Titanic being his Twilight and his acclaimed indies having come before it unlike with Pattinson.

Finished my first run through Deadwood. It won't be the last. Damn if I don't feel the pain of its cancellation all the way across those years though.

I thought complaints weren't about Kurylenko in QoS (last I noticed she was liked for being a tough heroine who wasn't there to jump into bed with Bond) but about Berenice Marlohe in Skyfall. Who was there to look pretty, reveal a molesting backstory, get walked in on in the shower by Bond, and get killed. Anyway, that quote puts it exactly right and even if we all know it it doesn't hurt to reiterate it again.

If Pattinson becoming the movie star of the 2020s means aggravating Futurist I support it even more.

you might do better if you stopped pulling grand statements like this outta your ass.

that whole scene is so great
