I'm gonna be traveling 30 hours on a train to see this in 70mm in Moscow. Of course I'll be doing other shit there but I wouldn't go if it weren't for this. What the hell, right?

Pretty sure Tarantino claimed that he wrote Roth's part for him, it may be similar to how Waltz would have played it but at no point was he actually supposed to play it.

Enjoyed the first third but everything after it got weaker and weaker, except maybe for the big Jobs vs Woz scene in the climax. It comes across like three shortened full-length biopics in one, or three episodes of a TV drama taken from season 1, season 4 and season 7 and stitched together using callbacks. The Jobs vs Sculley in Act 2 is such a loud and furious argument and all I could think of was "why am I supposed to give a shit again?". Katherine Waterston's two big scenes are essentially the same. The revelation of Jobs' father just comes and goes with zero build-up. And yeah, the ending is just bad.

I bet they'll end up being wrong on half of those.

Is Jada Pinkett Smith the supporting actress in XXL?

He still needs to play a psychotic stalker before I'd seriously compare him to Jimmy Stewart. But yeah you both make solid points.

Huh. I thought Hanks was mostly just playing Hanks in BOS, which he obviously is great at but it was hardly anything revelatory. Then again, in a year as weak as this I wouldn't mind seeing him in the Best Actor race at all.

In addition to being hugely entertaining, this has to be the most genuinely warm, inclusive and all-around good-natured movie of the year. It starts as your typical buddy road movie, but by the end casually grows into a touching picture of what people of different races, sexes, gender identities and sexualities can be to one another, and in that sense it's a hundred times more inspirational than any movie that openly announces itself as being so. The humor works, the actors' enthusiasm is infectious, and Soderbergh (sorry, Peter Andrews) does beautiful work behind the camera (the beach scene with Tatum and Heard is especially striking). Loved it.

This could be something really special if done right. Hoping the trailer hits soon.

Or Amy.

Fury Road 5 times.

Shouldn't have dismissed it so quickly.

Eh, it's not like he's Dennis Dugan or something.

As long as there's less dialogue. And "jokes".

I keep reading everywhere about how mean and nasty this is, and while that only makes me more excited, add the length and the lack of Best Picture buzz and I seriously doubt this gets to 100. I hope it at least reaches Kill Bill unadjusted.

I'd wait till the 1080p blu-ray rip if there was no other option for me to see it.

Some of the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous animation I've ever seen.

Because the Academy was too busy rewarding people who didn't deliver their best films but for whom it was "the right time"? Although Scott's loss in 2000 is really a rare exception to this, since it was definitely the right time, yet they picked Soderbergh, a non-veteran who was just as much if not more deserving.

This type of thinking is exactly what's wrong with the Academy.

I hope Luke would be a bit more self-aware than to dump his kid on a junk-filled desert planet with no knowledge of who her father is. Not sure why it would be so hard to come up with a plausible different backstory for her. Have her be a kid of a couple of Jedi who were being trained by Luke 5-10 years after the events of ROTJ and were then captured or killed, or something like that.
