    24.999m because summer game
  2. Jake Gittes
    Yeah I'm doing it on the first page right now. Will be done in a few minutes.
  3. Jake Gittes
    Are we already past the deadline? I was ready to post everything I had 12 hours ago and then it was midnight and my Internet connection disappeared because I didn't pay in advance for May. Dumbass.

    POTC 4 has the biggest OW in dollars (and I don't see it being surpassed anytime soon), F7 in rubles with 857 million.
  5. Jake Gittes
    I have Mad Max doing 170m. I don't care.
  6. Jake Gittes
    Just to clarify, the deadline is April 30, 6 PM, right?
  7. Jake Gittes
    Hopefully Crimson Peak gets in there.
  8. Jake Gittes
    SW will get it.
  9. Jake Gittes
    I'd add TDK but otherwise yeah. Marvel shouldn't be anywhere near this.
  10. Jake Gittes
    Fuck yes Suspiria. My favorite horror score ever, though Jaws and Halloween have more memorable individual themes.
  11. Jake Gittes
    Saw The Duke of Burgundy yesterday. It's possible there won't be a better film this year
  12. Jake Gittes
    Good to know it's not the last.
  13. Jake Gittes
    STID is so random I don't even know how to react.
  14. Jake Gittes
    Pretty much all directors have to work towards big budgets. Nolan, Spielberg, Jackson, Raimi, Cameron, Tarantino etc. all started with very little and their creativity allowed them to move forward until they became big names.
  15. Jake Gittes
    Spielberg had a ton of limitations on Duel and Jaws.
  16. Jake Gittes
    Very happy that Conquest of Paradise made it. Terrible movie, but that score is a masterpiece.
  17. Jake Gittes
    Linklater had something of a creative decline there roughly between 2006 (A Scanner Darkly) and the back-to-back-to-back punch of Bernie, Before Midnight and Boyhood, but that doesn't mean anyone's "acting" now, it just means they either forgot or didn't know how good he can be. I'll take the Before trilogy over all of Nolan's films combined.
  18. Jake Gittes
    If "range" is defined by the number of genres a director has successfully worked in, I'd say Kubrick wins. I'd also place at least Scorsese above Spielberg.
  19. Jake Gittes
    This is probably never easy unless your favorite actor is John Cazale. Even with someone as picky (and brilliant) as, say, DDL, I have no intention to ever see Nine.
  20. Jake Gittes
    I can believe that it might not be a 100% artistic decision and be at least in part motivated by politics, but Hollywood has been making bad decisions for the wrong reasons since its infancy, so I'd say making a good decision for slightly wrong reasons still counts as progress.
  21. Jake Gittes
    Nolan also hasn't made anything better than Heavenly Creatures. He is more consistently good, though.
  22. Jake Gittes
    Lincoln is in many respects a classic awards magnet of a big historical biopic, but ironically it was also as good or better than any other BP nominee of that year (except ZDT). Even with its disappointing ending, I would have easily picked it over Argo and Life of Pi.
  23. Jake Gittes
    What?
  24. Jake Gittes
    Good point. Then I'll predict Jon Hamm, Melanie Laurent, The Rock, Kristen Stewart, Gillian Anderson, Willem Dafoe and Peter Capaldi, because I would love to see that.
  25. Jake Gittes
    I can see Di Caprio, Chastain, Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams winning before the end of the decade. And Joaquin Phoenix, no matter what he might have said about the Oscars before, probably won't go without one for too long if he continues the hot streak he's been on.
