  1. The crappiness of the biopic is generally the key to winning. Being a Josephine Decker movie Shirley will likely make about as much money as Her Smell and get even less awards buzz.
  2. I'm confused aren't John C-Nah and the playground two different moments? Anyway justice for Fassbender's schlong. Where CJohn was also instrumental. We can probably agree the man is the BOT poster of the decade basically.
  3. Didn't vote for comedy feature cause I only saw two of those movies and while I like one of them better (Knives Out) I laughed a hell of a lot more at the other (Dolemite).
  4. Poor Vincent Kartheiser. Instantly reduced to being the sixth-billed cast member in various kinds of dreck after playing the best character on that show. The true invisible man.
  5. When you suddenly see all these posts praising Moss *now* even though she just had the film role of a lifetime last year and none of these same people noticed, because the systems of distribution of quality films are in fact broken and there's a pervasive mindset that if it's not #1 at the box office, it isn't interesting or valuable
  6. Didn't like that movie on the whole but uhhhh a certain character(s)' fate really is properly nightmarish.

  8. Evidently the long runtime is an indication that this is gonna have the scope and depth of Lawrence of Arabia and The Irishman
  9. Oh yeah? Then where were the fucking rats and manhandled corpses and the Bad Boys busting the KKK and invading foreign countries?
  10. Yeah, they really do. All of them save for Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Taxi Driver, New York New York, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, After Hours, his segment in New York Stories, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, The Age of Innocence, Casino, The Aviator, Shutter Island, Hugo, The Wolf of Wall Street...
  11. Two cosplaying dudes from Bahstahn and Driver somehow slipping perfectly naturally into yet another distinctive appearance despite still looking basically like himself.
  12. Is it an end of an era when all they did was replace one Bob with another?
  13. Creed II was just too basic. Can't say I'm interested in this unless they get Coogler back, which is unlikely. Or unless he goes to Russia and wins the current cold war after growing a beard and running up and down mountains
  14. Best of the 2010s update, just in case: the list submission deadline will be March 31, the countdown will begin in the following days and continue into the Bond weekend. I'll open the submission thread later this week.
  15. There's no need for excuses. Two very different movies got a wide release and made what they made. It ain't sports.
  16. Adams didn't break out until she was 30, Ronan and Winslet have both been ubiquitous since their teenage years. Which tbh is probably its own Oscar obstacle because you become such a known quantity so quickly and you a neither a star-is-born nor yet a veteran. Wouldn't surprise me if Ronan, like Winslet, won in a weak year for a forgettable movie simply because the overriding sentiment becomes "ok let's just give it to her already and be done with it".
