  1. Portman's following up Jackie with Annihilation which even sight unseen is a serious upgrade over everything she did after Black Swan.
  2. Might as well just see the movie. If you wanna lie about seeing it in the first place, chances are it's good enough. And when I said it make sense sometimes I meant I can see why people would lie about having seen something huge like The Godfather or Gone with the Wind when they are at a party or something. Why I felt the urge to do it in this thread, I don't get.
  3. First of all, why the fuck did the 18-year-old me lie about seeing 12 Angry Men (I didn't actually see it until last October)? I mean it makes sense in some instances but this is so random, I have no idea what I had to gain by naming it specifically. 1. The Night of the Hunter 2. Vertigo 3. Rear Window 4. Gun Crazy 5. Stromboli 6. The Killing 7. A Streetcar Named Desire 8. In a Lonely Place 9. The Seventh Seal 10. Paths of Glory Still lots to see.
  4. Depp's playing Ratchett and at this moment I can't imagine a role more perfect for him.
  5. This was decent but it's pretty much the same mixture of Berg's good and bad tendencies as Lone Survivor (The overall approach is basically the same). The actual disaster sequence is undeniably impressive and harrowing so if you're gonna see this, might as well go to the theater.
  6. Brilliant up until the ending which smacks of Hays Code. The social commentary hasn't aged a day. Douglas' performance is ridiculously good, one of the most ferocious I've ever seen in any movie.
  7. I hope cinematically it follows The Hateful 8 where the setting may be small and isolated but they don't hold back on production & costume design and amazing-looking exteriors/backdrops outside the train. Make it a real MOVIE.
  8. Arrival and Manchester are the only ones I'm actively anticipating (as in I really wish I could see them right now).
  9. The Deak's just waiting to win for Blade Runner next year. Yeah I'm staying on this ship
  10. 1. La La Land 2. Silence 3. Billy Lynn 4. Arrival 5. Café Society Alt.: Nocturnal Animals
  11. Maybe worldwide if it gets acclaim and sweeps the noms and is then lucky on top of that. With no Leo and no general thrills and adventure elements, I don't know what the hook would be for the GA.
  12. 1. Chazelle 2. Scorsese 3. Lonergan 4. Lee 5. Villeneuve Alt.: Washington or Jenkins
  13. Aw yeah. Been waiting for this to appear.
