  1. Yes, you all definitely have an idea who's gonna get cast by the guy whose last hit had that well-known established name Fionn Whitehead as its lead character
  2. DDL in Lincoln the one recent biopic performance I actually thought deserved to win tbh. But that's DDL for you. He made it a lived-in performance instead of just showy.
  3. Nah that's all pretty right on. Was a good piece on AV Club recently about the Oscars, comedic performances, and specifically McAdams in Game Night (who I think fully deserved a nomination) echoing your sentiments. It always feels more special to me when someone wins an Oscar for playing at least an original character.
  4. It was working unexpectedly well for me so long as it pretended to stick with the original premise. When it let everything out in the open it pretty much blew itself up. No argument about the son though, if I were Jeremy Irons I'd be pretty embarrassed
  5. The Wife falls apart around the halfway mark but Close is pretty superb all through it. I'd much rather see her win than Gaga although I expect I'll like Colman better than both. Haven't seen either BR or Vice but Malek as Redmayne 2.0 isn't a surprising development.
  6. Only just saw that Michel Legrand died. RIP. Really didn't expect it cause he just worked on The Other Side of the Wind months ago. I've basically spent the last two years listening to the Young Girls of Rochefort soundtrack and honestly I'd be fine if I could only have that for the rest of my life.
  7. It was able to do that because the theater count stayed low and the PTAs high. Now it's the reverse. Next week is Superbowl which means a PTA drop and the week after that has 4 wide openers which means a big theater drop. It'll hold on okay but 70+ is out of reach unless it wins Best Picture.
  8. Trying to damage the legs of the Nolan Event now instead of facing it, feels like something Jared Leto would be a part of
  9. Point taken but it's one of those cases where I find it more important that for the most part the characters were interesting and the performances very good.
