  1. I think Boyhood will be fine, but GBH definitely might be a victim of its release date. Hardy will probably get his long-overdue first nominaton for Bigelow's next film.
  2. I still remember how I practically flew out of the theater when I went to see this, it was an incredible feeling because I had little idea what to expect from this movie - it just sounded like the only appealing one of all that were playing in theaters that week, so I thought why not. At the time, me being 12, it was one of the first films that really made me notice the power of editing - it's really full of beautifully cut sequences and montages that would give me chills even today, even if I now acknowledge the complete lack of subtlety. Weaving and Portman give it their all and I can't argue with the power of that ending.
  3. They felt frightened and embarrassed by what they did that night
  4. That's actually decent. Its PTA finally had a sub-30% drop instead of a 50% one.

  6. I'm not forgetting Chicago, but people seem to be forgetting Memoirs of a Geisha and Nine. Which, yes, received a combined 10 nominations, but 9 of those were in technical categories (where I'm sure Into the Woods will score too), and both films' RT ratings average out to 36%.
  7. I'd honestly be surprised if Into the Woods actually got nominated in the main category. Rob Marshall is toxic.
  8. Pretty cute. Haven't seen it in years, don't really want to.

  12. One of about 57 reasons this movie failed for me is that almost all the characters were either so bland or so unlikable that I actually rooted for the tornadoes to kill them in the most painful ways possible... and in the end, something like 80% of these fuckers stayed alive.
  13. I'm pretty sure it'll get there during the LD weekend at the latest.
  14. Good but not great. Too much Sorkin cheese within one movie for me.
  15. I'll take that like as a yes. Changing my answer to No then... I think GOTG will pass TF4 on either the 30th or the 31st.
