  1. It's not even a weekend. What the fuck did he even do
  2. I will go to sleep today knowing that I accomplished something
  3. Was lucky to witness a GraceRandolph post about 15 seconds before she was presumably threadbanned.
  4. That was a perfectly typical box office run with a perfectly typical dollar theater expansion.
  5. Seven is phenomenal. Was lucky to see it on the big screen a couple years ago and it's so draining in the best way. People were dead silent walking out. "John Doe has the upper hand" is one of the most chilling lines in filmdom.
  6. I might entertain the Coogler possibility if the movie was a Fury Road-level incredible directorial accomplishment. But it's not. It's just a solidly crafted blockbuster. Nothing is too big to ignore. Black Panther will get its due in stuff like costumes and makeup and with any luck the Academy will have black directors to nominate besides Coogler.
  7. Same with Shelley Duvall's worst actress nom. I mean the more I watch the movie the more I marvel at how great she is.
  8. To be fair I think that kind of change would take longer than three months to show itself.
  9. Over the Rainbow = automatic waterworks and it's amazingly surreal for a kids' film at times (I wish today's PG fantasy movies would remember what that's like) but I've never been too crazy about The Wizard of Oz otherwise. Maybe partly because I didn't see it until I was 19.
  10. You can thank the James Cameron scholar for that. Nice work on Vertigo everyone, didn't think it'd be above Rear Window but it deserves it
