    Though I refuse to believe anything can beat The Immigrant for the best final shot of the year.
  4. Jake Gittes
    Yeah that final shot is easily one of the best of the year. It actually startled me because all the rest of the film the cinematography and shot composition was of the utterly average shaky cam, over the shoulder, we're shooting a cheap indie movie here kind.

    I'm really starting to think Gone Girl can win Best Adapted if even the critics can't come up with any better competitors for it than Wild and the British Biopics #1 and #2. (Obviously PTA is out from the start).

    Very enjoyable but the journey was better than the destination, and the build-up more interesting than the resolution. Tilda Swinton and Alison Pill fucking owned the second act and made their absence really felt afterwards, while Ed Harris monologuing like The Architect from The Matrix Reloaded got tiring pretty quickly. I do love the overall sense of dark fun and the various oddball touches Bong brings to the whole thing, though - the personality alone makes it soar above most generic Hollywood tentpoles.

    Aleksey German's Trial on the Road (1971) is another great one.

    IMDb says Winter Sleep is getting a limited US release on December 19. Mojo doesn't have it in its database yet.

    Hah. Chazelle is great: Where do you think these two go after this movie ends? They had a moment at the end of the film, but I feel these two will always hate each other. I think so. I think it’s definitely a fleeting thing. I think there’s a certain amount of damage that will always have been done. Fletcher will always think he won and Andrew will be a sad, empty shell of a person and will die in his 30s of a drug overdose. I have a very dark view of where it goes.

    Needless to say I'm stoked for this.

    More boring and much less insane than I'd expected after all the hype.
  13. Jake Gittes
    That'd definitely make the Academy look even more hilariously clueless than it already does... so, yes?
  14. Jake Gittes
    Which types?
  15. Jake Gittes
    Yeah I'm seeing Selma winning BP and Linklater taking BD.
  16. Jake Gittes
    Eva Green and Olga Kurilenko both played much stronger and more interesting characters than your typical "Bond girls".
  17. Jake Gittes
    I hope Monica Bellucci is Blofeld.

    Yeah part of the greatness of the ending is that it's only triumphant and inspiring in a tip of the iceberg kind of way. What you're talking about is another reason why Andrew only won the battle and not the war. Realistically I imagine he's going to end up a pretty messed up individual, though to what extent is anyone's guess. Damn, now I want Chazelle and Teller to make a sequel about 20 years from now, like The Color of Money to this movie's The Hustler.

    Toy Story 3 is adapted because it's a sequel. LEGO isn't.
  23. Jake Gittes
    Along with Mercury Rising, the epitome of a forgettable '90s action/thriller star vehicle that I watched about a dozen times on TV as a kid. Also, hey, that's Jack Black!
  24. Jake Gittes
    I have no problems with that. Saw Mr. Turner on Friday and Spall is great in it.
  25. Jake Gittes
    Wow, talk about a great surprise. SEE THIS MOVIE PEOPLE.
