The entire Split hype machine was wild. MNS finally makes a movie that isn't an outright disaster so folks gotta act like it's the second coming

 

but it is really good though.  in the upper tier of films from 2017 for me (and it’s not just because Shyamalan “finally made a good movie” I’d give it the same grade if literally anyone else directed it) (also The Visit was good too)

THAT BEING SAID McAvoy isn’t the best performance of the year at all

I think I'm probably the Denzel Washington of the year.

I think you’re more like the Eddie Redmayne or Johnny Depp

My sister watched it and she and her friend had no idea about the final scene.

I saw it with two of my friends and I started freaking out during the final scene and they were so confused at what was so exciting.  Only about two other people in my sold out theater knew what it was too (granted it was an audience of like 95% teenagers)

I'm guessing the plan is to hold the show right before the Oscars that afternoon (March 4)?

Spaghetti’s a bit busy these few weeks so we haven’t made definite plans yet.  But the preference is to hold the ceremony sometime pre-Oscars

I’ll need either @The Shape of Pasta To do so, or another mod to do so as I’m not the author of the thread.

Done.

So I decided to go ahead and send in my ballot. College is becoming a very big stressor I need to focus more on assignments and tests; I'm a little sad that I didn't see films like Coco, Call Me By Your Name, Phantom Thread, and Molly's Game in time, but I am still very happy with the record amount of films I was able to see in 2017.

There seems to be an issue with the nominations. I'm trying to vote for Phantom Thread in everything, but I can only seem to vote for it in Costume Design?

How the fuck was DDL snubbed? Shit baffles me.

I think it was because of the late release date. I mean, Call Me By Your Name had a late-ish release date, too, but that film had more consensus support from the voters of heavily-artistic features from the beginning, and most of its nominations were gimmes anyway (Adapted Screenplay, Soundtrack).

 

I think Phantom Thread is this year's Lion.
