Don't forget Hardy.

"Michael Bay does Michael Mann" is something that comes close enough to making me want to see this (as someone who loves Mann and even really liked Pain & Gain) that Bay would have to work overtime in order for me to have no interest in seeing this. I see he's very industrious.

Not true, it has also the Dion Beebe fans in full meltdown as well.

And that this is the second film he's done for them where he plays a buffoon obsessed with cleaning his teeth.

Here's my bit; if you love Bowie (if not, well…), and you haven't seen Todd Haynes' Velvet Goldmine, you should see Velvet Goldmine.

Okay, better production design is a cheat, it's not like The Revenant had the choice of being set in a stylistically bold post-apocalyptic future. Also, the PD on The Revenant was Jack motherfucking Fisk, so you best not disrespect.

I think it's more where I frequent (former Dissolve colonies and Film Twitter).

I only really like three of his movies (three and a half counting the Japan and Mexico sequences of Babel), which makes it even more frustrating when I have to defend him.

I'd recommend you showing your work in regards to any of his movies between Amores perros and Birdman being fun to watch.

The last time a director won two Best Director Oscars in a row, it was 60 years ago. Get a bloodbag and keep those hopes alive.

I was just happy that a film I loved that was nominated for Best Picture won. And then I was less happy when the sum of the internet treated it like it was the coming of the Antichrist.

Oh boy, I can't wait to once again have to put on the apologist hat for an award-winning Alejandro G. Iñárritu film! Scratch that, upon reflection, I'd rather wait.

Can't win 'em all, I guess. I do like this less than Birdman (and Amores perros), if that means anything.

Yeah, that close-up of her is pure nightmare fuel, as well as justification for the 65mm outside of landscape shots (every line, bruise, and blood spot is visible on her face with startling, disturbing clarity).

Did you know that, the year before, Lubezki was DOP for The Cat in the Hat? And that I actually watched that abomination unto God to see his contributions?

It's even stranger to see him as the writer of Congo.

I'm torn between it and Y tu mama, but the scale is tipping towards this now.

The Revenant: I liked it. Yeah, I know, no duh, et cetera. Despite its hefty running time and focus on someone slowly crawling back to civilization, this felt much more a piece with the action and actions-based films of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, the ones that I genuinely love (Amores perros, Birdman, and around…

His writing is the literary equivalent of his worst, most hammy, attention-demanding performances.

The road crossed the chicken.
