If the Oscars decide to finally roll with Netflix this year Rachel Morrison has a good chance to become the first female nominee in this category ever for Mudbound.

Darius Khondji is gonna get snubbed for his work on a James Gray movie again isn't he. Damn shame. Vittorio Storaro is shooting another Woody Allen period piece as well, but after he did such amazing work on Café Society and went unnoticed for it during awards season I don't have much hope for him this year either. I think Deak's got this.

It wasn't even that hard.

One of the funniest fully intentional comedies I've ever seen. And a top 3 Batman movie along with Batman Returns and The Dark Knight, all of them being the best showcases of their respective eras' approaches to the character and the universe.

You think those people care enough to go check that?

Great observation. I'm still baffled that this lost best editing to Hacksaw fucking Ridge of all films.

I definitely think Once Upon a Time in the West is Morricone's (and Leone's) finest hour - at least out of what I've heard - but I guess I have to settle with GBU forever being more popular if I want the top 3 to not be 100% Williams. And of course it's a great score. I actually saw the entire Dollars trilogy on the big screen last week and "The Trio" just hitting the audience like a tsunami in the climax was glorious to see/hear. Great job on this Numbers.

I'm just glad it made the top 3 again.

Annihilation has been pushed to 2018. Blade Runner, Star Wars and Apes are as close to locked as it can be this far out I think. Guardians has a solid chance. For the fifth spot I'm personally rooting for Ghost in the Shell but there's about six other films that can take it.

Deakins is gonna accept his Oscar for this. I can feel it.

I definitely dig the Architect scene after several rewatches but for an initial unsuspecting audience it must have been a hell of a thing to suddenly get dropped into. From dim recollections, my first reaction was genuine fascination but also

It looks like two hours of ownage. But it looks like people don't know what's good for them. (Then again I'm not sure why none of the marketing so far has mentioned that it's from the John Wick dudes. Surely that would have added to the buzz a little).

I did too. And I even went higher than you. It was that or Rough Night but darker comedies like that one are hit-and-miss in the BO and this is really the only comedy set for wide release between June 30 and August 18. I also considered going full fanboy over Atomic Blonde and predicting 100m for it but unfortunately GT looks safer for the top 15.

Everything done. I think. It's 7 fucking AM here

Apologies if this has been asked: Is Dunkirk an eligible answer for August if I think it's gonna make more during August than any actual August release? Or do only films released in August count?

Yes

I almost said Blade Runner but turns out I've been in denial about it being #55. Hint: it's a score from before the John Williams domination era.

Doubted it was possible to beat Kurt Russell's stache in The Hateful Eight but credit where it's due.

All of them. Except those that aren't.

Y'know TDKR aside that's actually a better list than I expect this one to be.

I feel like The Mummy is gonna suffer a little coming right on the heels of Pirates, Baywatch and WW which all look more distinctive and fun and should make a lot of money between them.
