is The French Dispatch still contending for this season? a feb release is possible but if Searchlight want it to do box office numbers close to Anderson's previous films they might delay it further than the deadline.

Mank/Chicago7 might give Nomadland some competition. I'd wait and see if it wins the people's choice award at TIFF next week to see if it's also crowd-pleasing and not just a critics/prestige movie. Zhao is probably getting a director nom at this point tho so that's gonna incredible. although if the only choices the Academy are left with are Nomadland or a Netflix movie. I agree the former would have better odds. but it's 7 months away so a lot could change. I hope Nomadland maintains its buzz. also Mank shouldn't release in Oct as that's way too early imo.

from a DC director to a Marvel director back-to-back. amazing

wait they haven't released any dailies for domestic right? are they gonna release Tuesday-Sunday numbers as one weekend again 🤦‍♀️

Ammonite needed stronger reviews for acting nods to happen imo. could play out like Mary Queen of Scots so maybe costume nods but that's not sure either

with Winslet out I think Frances McDormand - Nomadland Viola Davis - Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Andre Day - The United States vs. Billie Holiday Jennifer Hudson - Respect Amy Adams - Hillbilly Elegy alt: Michelle Pfeiffer - French Exit Vanessa Kirby - Pieces of Woman/The World To Come

this must be garbage if it got a C from Kate Erbland who is the most generous indiewire critic shame as it was my 2nd most anticipated film of the year (and God's Own Country was very good). reviews seem to be mixed

Black Adam's spot in December 2021 sounds ideal but that's more than a year away

does WB really care that much about Dune oscar prospects? chances are it's at best a bp nominee+ tech only winner. they should delay it further in 2021 so it can have a better box office. villeneuve said he wants to make a 2nd movie so I'd think they would rather prioritize its finical aspects first. for Oscars WB have Tenet for below the line categories and Judas and the Black Messiah for acting/bp/screenplay you can throw in WW84 for VFX too

so they're keeping both Dune and this in December? must have a lot of faith in villeneuve if they want him to go up against a superhero movie.

as i stated it depends on the pandemic situation in your area. if you were driving in an area with a high rate of car accidents and people don't pay attention to traffic. would you feel as safe as if you were driving in place where people drive normally? I don't disagree that it's safe to go to a cinema but it's more relative than you think. btw when I said as risky. I meant risk of catching the virus. not risk of dying/severe harm.

if it was perfectly safe to go to a cinema they would be not be mandating masks. it's as risky as any other in-door activity. but to call it "perfectly safe" is an exaggeration and depends on the pandemic situation in your area. and whether you were already infected and or have been vaccinated.

RIP. she was one of my favorite characters in GoT

Nolan wishes he was on the same level as Villeneuve

it will also bomb on HBO Max. just because they can hide the fact that it bombed because they're not obligated (and no is) to release streaming numbers doesn't make it any better. besides someone on r/boxoffice mentioned that HBO Max isn't available to all americans so that doesn't help as well. (if it's true)

cool trailer and looks visually pleasing. although I still have no idea what the plot is about but I'm loving the Zendaya/Chalamet shots. Denis Villeneuve is my fav director so i have blind faith in anything he does but this looks quite different than his earlier works. in terms of scale it's different than Arrival or BR2049 I think I will start reading the novel before this comes out in December/January/February.

the tom hardy one? it would pass standard B as it had a female editor and it was distributed by A24 so I imagine they had some diversity in the marketing department. and if they didn't they should. thinking back on these rules they seem too lenient to make an impact but still a step in the right direction I guess.

these criteria don't really seem that hard to meet so not sure why so many people are upset by them. even Joker would meet like 2 out of 4 categories. not sure about the audience development or industry access but they had Zazie Beetz as supporting for on-screen rep. (also the subject matter) and Hildur Guðnadóttir as composer for the creative behind the scenes criteria.

those are some pretty neat changes (for the most part w/ the cast), too bad they're 4 years away from now

42 (2013) 6/10: good Chadwick Boseman performance in an otherwise bland and conventional biopic. Being John Malkovich (1999) 7/10 Onward (2020) 7/10 Wild Rose (2018) 7/10 Adaptation (2001) 8/10 I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) 8/10 : a bit too abstract for me but the atmosphere and the performances carry the movie for me. Sunset Boulevard (1950) 8/10 The 400 Blows (1959) 8/10 Day of Wrath (1943) 8/10: one of the most brutal religious witch-hunt movies i've seen and impressive cinematography for its time. Synecdoche, New York (2008) 9/10: most relatable movie I've seen in a while. Hoffman is consistently amazing in everything I've seen from him and this might be my fav of his (or at least on par with the Master)
