    Love all that peace and serenity interrupted by that creepy distorted footage of... whoever that is. (Leland? Cooper with white hair?). Classic Lynch. I'm more excited for this than I ever was for new Star Wars.

    Look of Silence is much more personal and its 100 minutes pass by very quickly.

    Man, Shasta is everywhere. Good for her (and for us).

    In terms of ambition it's dead last, in terms of quality for me it's tied with ROTS for #4.

    I enjoyed all the new actors - Isaac's roguish charisma, Boyega's mix of determination and goofiness, Driver's combination of menace and insecurity. Ridley has enough fire in her to carry a movie all of her own. Carrie Fisher though looked really sleepy in this. Hamill will hopefully deliver in the next one.

    The basic story beats in the original Star Wars were nothing new but I think we might be taking for granted how weird the universe and its details must have seemed at the time. Dudes battling space Nazis with sabers made out of energy and in WWII-esque dogfights, all set to classical-sounding music - as far as pastiches go, I bet it looked pretty original. There's nothing weird about The Force Awakens. It basically gets by on its energy and the charm of its actors.

    It's pretty fun throughout and the new actors bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the table, but yeah, the movie does basically nothing to further develop the universe in any meaningful way. Literally everything we see is a riff on something we've seen before. Technically it's less flawed than the prequels, I suppose, but those actually dared to be their own movies.

    7 minutes of the score. I'm really digging it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHpza9bQAkY

    Definitely my favorite reviw yet. But then Vishnevetsky always delivers. http://www.avclub.com/review/quentin-tarantino-gets-theatrical-70mm-western-hat-229377 Just waiting for this to finally hit where I live now.

    LOL.

    Didn't hear anything in Bridge of Spies that would be worth nominating but they'll probably throw Newman another bone anyway. From the reviews I'm definitely getting the impression that Morricone's score isn't on the level of his greats but I think it'll win anyway.

    Kurt Russell's Hateful Eight mustache > all the movies in that shortlist combined

    Fooled by what now?

    Pretty sure it's gonna play everywhere at the same time. Also IIRC Tarantino and the cast members will be making surprise appearances in some theaters.
  18. Jake Gittes
    Hateful has a decent shot to win Score and/or Supporting Actress but it keeps missing the big two categories with the precursors so I wouldn't be surprised if it's not even nominated there.
  19. Jake Gittes
    So here are the theaters showing it in 70mm http://tickets.thehatefuleight.com/showtimes
  20. Jake Gittes
    I actually paid for my Star Wars ticket on November 18. Won't be able to actually physically have it till Thursday though.
  21. Jake Gittes
    In their own way these are just as uninspired as the Oscars.
  22. Jake Gittes
    Di Caprio may not be old but he did receive the first of his nominations over 20 years ago.
  23. Jake Gittes
    Avatar grossed 3.6 billion rubles which translated to around $120m back then.
  24. Jake Gittes
    It's fascinating how everyone seemed to like STID for about two days and then immediately aggressively turned on it.
  25. Jake Gittes
    Pretty sure Critics' Choice will nominate Mad Max. BAFTA seems cool enough to go for it too.
