Definitely revisit it down the road. It's better when you already know what you're in for. FWIW Magnolia is my least favorite and I'm in a much smaller minority there than you are with IV. -
And also slow doesn't mean bad. A movie can be slow but still well-paced. There can be an art to slowness in the same way there can be art to dynamism. Hell even just talking PTA There Will Be Blood is fairly slow *and* captivating.

Inherent Vice has amazing pacing/editing. It's what I imagine being baked feels like in the same way the last day as a wiseguy sequence in Goodfellas is what I imagine being coked out of one's mind feels like.
-
Anna Karenina is kind of a failure (although at least it's trying to do something different) but Jude Law and Matthew MacFadyen are fantastic in it.
-
Darkest Hour could end up being this decade's The Last King of Scotland. A Best Actor winner, not nominated for anything else, with a less than $20m domestic take.
-
Almost the same as Moonlight, at least. I think it can make more money in the long run thanks to being released closer to all the awards ceremonies, and a more accessible and openly emotional story. It should build some extremely strong WOM from initial audiences.

This is the spin I never knew I needed

Happy birthday. Stay cool
-
The only good part of The Birds was Suzanne Pleshette and that stretch when she and Tippi Hedren are stuck in the same house because for 20 minutes I could imagine that in a moment they'd start making out. Beyond that it's just hopeless
-
Talk about a remake that would improve on the original. Not even joking either
-
Go add to Call me by Your Name's PTA.

Only time I drank anything in or around a theater in the past few years was when me and a buddy went to see Logan at midnight in a nearly empty IMAX, snuck in a bottle of whisky and took a swig every time Logan did it in the movie. That was worth it. On other occasions: not drinking anything for a couple of hours before the movie is not hard, guys.

Powerful filmmaking definitely something that's best avoided
-
That's pretty much guaranteed I think considering the Oscar nods are announced on January 23 and SPC will obviously be waiting until then to go for a big expansion.

If she asks you to sleep on the floor than the answer is obviously sleeping on the floor, but she's not gonna ask you to sleep on the floor, BECAUSE OF THE IMPLICATION.

Would solve the chemistry problem, at least.
-
Now I'm imagining Valerian starring Caleb Landry Jones and Amanda Seyfried and yes please.
-
Good to hear he's already becoming a "hey it's that guy" actor with the GA
-
If we do a 2008 revisiting thing next year I expect you to stand by these words
-
what the fuck Chewy I thought you could be trusted.
-
Make that Speed Racer, the final set-piece in The Lone Ranger, and... Rihanna's dance in Valerian, maybe?
-
Yeah anyone who proclaims that something is locked to win Picture with months to go isn't worth listening to. Especially after La La Land.
-
Course you haven't, otherwise I wouldn't have had to bring it up Watch it though. Maybe the funniest movie of this century.

Best case for Coco is pulling a Frozen increase on Friday and then Moana drops on Sat and Sun, that'd give it a three-day just over 56m.
