Hoo boy, I just read Walter Chaw's hatchet job on La La Land.

 

Quote

 It relies on Stone being cute and Gosling being smug (a reminder that The Notebook was also a bad musical); you root for them as actors but could give a shit about their characters. There's a moment where Sebastian puts his hand experimentally on a light pole and the picture tenses in anticipation of his Gene Kelly moment. Then he takes his hands away and puts them in his pockets. La La Land is Step Up 6: Awards Season, and there's not an authentic bone in its three-strip-Technicolor-esque body.

Walter Chaw is the best. (Even when I disagree with him.)

I like him because of this:

What an inventive way of making a top "10".

Hatchet job might be too tame a description.

i just meant it's better.

[CoolioD1]

i loved la la land but addison dewitt would tear it apart!

[filmlover]

I love all 4 of those movies but I'm gonna go with Titanic as the best. Again, hit me with your best shot, Tolkienites.

[CoolioD1]

they put a cap a few years ago on the number of best song nominees to just two. there's a bunch of movies in the past that got three nods there. honestly if they didn't implement that cap la la land could have had the record out right.

[vc2002]

La La Land vs Titanic vs Ben Hur vs ROTK ?

More like 100% would have had 15 nominations.
