It's cool that they finally delivered on all that Harry/Cooper chemistry but the dark lighting and lack of Badalamenti tunes ruined the execution a little. Still 14 hours to go though.

It's not even funny anymore.

That's actually a diabolically worded question cuz 16.43m is already half of Blade Runner's domestic gross and so it's the actual number it needs to do. And I only just realized it myself. Go to hell chas

It says a lot about Sheryl Lee's performance that Laura's realization of who her tormentor is still rips your heart out. Questions in a World of Blue is such a devastating scene too. That's when you know once and for all there's no going back.

@WrathOfHan will though

Drinking game: after the Labor Day weekend is over, go through this entire thread and take a shot every time you see a post like this. I wonder if anyone would survive until the end of the thread.

Well it wasn't good enough

I definitely think it has a better shot than Blade Runner. (If it's good, mind you.) Plus Sorkin's name is still big. If the movie's good enough they'll notice, regardless of the distributor I think.

I think LLL and Hell or High Water are the only ones that even deserved nominations. At least they didn't put Lion there I guess.

Is Molly's Game adapted? That could happen. And based on buzz alone Call Me by Your Name would be considered a more than worthy winner I think. Especially if they remember that they never gave James Ivory an Oscar back in the day and he's turning 90 next year.

Multiplier over/under The Bye Bye Man?

So it looks like a Bong Joon-ho movie
