    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...

    Two cosplaying dudes from Bahstahn and Driver somehow slipping perfectly naturally into yet another distinctive appearance despite still looking basically like himself.

    Chairman of Experiences sounds dystopian.

    Is it an end of an era when all they did was replace one Bob with another?

    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

    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.

    There's no need for excuses. Two very different movies got a wide release and made what they made. It ain't sports.

    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".

    I mean I'm just not gonna believe this unless/until there's a better source than jeff fuckin sneiedr.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    Yeah at least it wasn't another suffocatingly "faithful" lit adaptation. Also great turns from Law and Macfadyen.

    He's fetched Farrell he's in the clear for now.
  16. Jake Gittes
    It's just begun filming. True Grit went into production in March and released in December so I imagine this can make it too.
  17. Jake Gittes
    It's what she deserves
  18. Jake Gittes
    It is nominated for script. Which is an insult, but what can you do.

    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.

    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.
  22. Jake Gittes
    Good joke.
