  1. But what if it takes his first experience with Mann to finally turn Ansel into a good actor?
  2. This had a lot more going for it - under two hours, name actors, much better reviews, sold basically as an entertaining time even if on its own highly idiosyncratic terms. If The Witch could make 25m I figured mid-teens for this was achievable. Eh well.
  3. It'll do it by this time next week. Just need to get past A Separation (7.1m) to become the biggest grosser there since Pan's Labyrinth and The Lives of Others (the latter of which it'll also pass in November).
  4. That it's Zhao Shuzhen and not Diana Lin getting the buzz for The Farewell says a lot about the myopia with which performances get judged come awards time.

  7. yessss YESSSSSSSSSSS. the oscars have nothing on this.
  8. with Pugh probably being the runner-up going by Little Women reactions.
  9. hot dirty passionate encounters with the secretaries! while the wife - she sleeps at home. i know... i have been there. many times
  10. All time domestic, worldwide and opening weekend charts only showing the top 200 movies.
  11. get Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine for supporting roles. as a Duellists fan I want to be pandered to
  12. Oh man do I wish Michael Abels would get nominated. He won't. Would be nice to see OUATIH claim production & costume design. And I guess we might as well hand Deakins his second one for 1917 right now?
  13. and more specifically, a franchise in which corporate vision totally trumps artistic vision. MCU is just the biggest example of this. i'll bet you it wouldn't be criticized - at least not remotely as severely - if it had afforded directors genuine creative freedom and opportunity to experiment. for everything that you can argue it's done well, it also is, in its current form, the biggest representative of the kind of cinema that's completely antithetical to the cinema that Scorsese, Coppola, etc. have dedicated their creative lives to making, preserving, and promoting, only to end up increasingly dismissed and suppressed by "inoffensively" hostile corporate interests, and to not understand and acknowledge this is willful ignorance.
