  1. I mean I'm just not gonna believe this unless/until there's a better source than jeff fuckin sneiedr.
  2. Macbeth began filming a couple weeks ago. IMDb has it listed for 2021 but e.g. True Grit started production in March and made Christmas so this easily could as well. As for Fincher, I mean we know thus far the Oscars have only acknowledged him when he went atypically sentimental and then when he made the single most breathlessly acclaimed American movie in years. Generally his sensibility is too cold and abrasive for them. Mank has a number of advantages on its side but it's by no means locked even if it's quality.
  3. Sure that's why I specified. Most of the recent winners I had no idea were coming and/or never seriously thought about as potential contenders a year before the ceremony. It's all bored wild guesses from now until fall.
  4. Out of the currently known big guns The French Dispatch and Da 5 Bloods might have the best shot. Everything else too niche/too bland/too auteur/too redundant/too Netflix etc. (seems if anyone can break their BP curse it's Spike since everyone loves him now).
  5. You know you're getting up there in Internet years when you remember reading reports from like fucking 2010 about David O. Russell and Marky Mark "gearing up" to shoot this in six months or whatever.
  6. Yeah at least it wasn't another suffocatingly "faithful" lit adaptation. Also great turns from Law and Macfadyen.
  7. It's just begun filming. True Grit went into production in March and released in December so I imagine this can make it too.
  8. I liked Gerwig's Little Women better than both the novel and the '94 version. It still inherits some issues from the original story it can't/won't entirely resolve but in terms of direct engagement with the material it's hard to imagine a better adaptation.
  9. Really showed it to all those imaginary enemies who tried to intimidate you into taking the side of the... elitist 100m budget movie star car racing movie.
  10. I love Baumbach generally but MS isn't even in his filmography's top 6.
  11. Faced with the possibility of both Joker and Endgame in the top 5 I'm rebranding myself as an Alita stan and hoping it upset one of them for the lulz.
  12. Hong Sang-soo crowd there are dozens three of us! Three!
  13. *sees 17th place instead of 1st* who the fuck did this appraisal?
  14. Infinity War was #22 last year. Joker got a Worst Film boffy nomination. Nah.
