Quick thing:   I am not going to be around for a bit. Non-Board Personal issues, and I need some time. I will get the emojis up for next weekend, and run the Cas of the Cas Games (Sign Up For Them! Play the Change). If you need anything big, PM me. Otherwise @XXR You Ok Annie and @ZeeSoh and @Eric Crowe got this covered.

MODERATION:   Since we have like 3500 MCU threads, I’m just gonna post this here in hopes that everyone sees it, so that I don’t have to post it like 3500 times individually and spam all the threads:   When you’re talking about the MCU, please make sure that you’re talking specifically about that title in that thread. I.e; Dr Strange Thread is for Dr Strange.    And if you want to reference any other property, especially if it isn’t out yet, please use the spoiler t

I still have some issues with Florida Project (big ole NOPE on that ending) but I've come around to how brilliant Willem Dafoe was. Really stuck with me - a performance that grew over the months. Just in time for him to lose to suddenly heroic redeemed George Zimmerman tomorrow!

I've come to realize recently that one of my absolute favorite things for any actor to do is portray virtue/kindness/decency while avoiding saintliness and artificiality, and Dafoe absolutely nails that here. Might be the most low-key inspiring movie character of 2017.

On the plus side, Sam Rockwell is great. Just wish it was for a different role.

Sam Rockwell is terrific. But, and I know this might not seem believable from me, I disagree with him winning beyond my politics/problems with the role. I just don't think he's particularly good in it. It doesn't go past skin deep for me. Too cartoonish to be real, but too real to be delightfully hammy or fun or anything. Didn't love that performance, even if I like Rockwell alot genreally.

The material lets pretty much everyone down in that movie. Harrelson fares the best probably, because he just does his usual entertaining Harrelson thing and then goes out early, and with the most emotional scene in the movie to boot (that first letter).

Btw, really loved FLORIDA PROJECT - don't know where I stand on the ending, because I don't love it, but I definitely don't hate it

Yeah I'm neither here nor there on it. Like, I understand and don't disagree with the intention, but I think I would have liked the movie just as much if it had ended two minutes earlier. Maybe a second viewing will shift me one way or the other.
