CoolioD1 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The Current War seems to be Harvey's big push for next season. Benny Cums as Thomas Edison. I do wonder when the praise for him as the asshole genius type is gonna run out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Call Me by Your Name has begun with a 97 on Metacritic with 7 reviews so far. Holy. Pretty excited to see how SPC handles it, even though a summer opening sounds perfect. http://www.metacritic.com/movie/call-me-by-your-name/critic-reviews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Netflix has picked up Mudbound.

CoolioD1 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 i still don't think it's a death knell for awards. the only movie they've really campaigned was beasts of no nation and the film was the issue more than the campaign they ran, which was pretty extensive.

Impact Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 I don't get how Netflix is eligible for the Emmy awards either at times, then again I don't really pay attention to those. The only award show I pay attention to anymore is the Oscars, though I'm less and less interested in the more recent Oscars anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 it was ok. first half great but it drops off. btw people really doubted Room's chances because of how A24 botched A Most Violent Year's campaign the year before. People dismissed Manchester By The Sea as a contender last year because it was an Amazon/Roadside joint. gotta give these studios a chance to work out the kinks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 just thinking about it. these are the movies i thought were the best picture frontrunner a year ahead. 2016: silence 2015: joy 2014: unbroken 2013: monuments men (oh jesus) 2012: lincoln 2011: war horse 2010: inception 2009: nine what movie should i curse this year? hmm, i'm feeling like darkest hour sounds oscary enough. gary oldman as churchil sounds like a shoo-in but hey, if personal reputation is what's gonna block affleck from the oscar this year it won't do him any favors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 a big plus for me was that i was the first person to mention 12 years a slave in the 2013 thread. but it was for this On 1/11/2013 at 0:12 AM, CoolioD1 said: I hope Chiwetel Ejiofor is nominated for that Steve McQueen slave movie, since he's a wonderful and underrated actor. But he probably won't make it because Steve McQueen isn't an Academy friendly flimmaker and by that time slavery will be seen as "soooo last year."

AniNate Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looks like Stephen Chbosky's Wonder could be worth talking about here. Lionsgate shifted it to a November release. Stars Jacob Tremblay as a kid with a facial deformity. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
