Can anyone see if that was from iPhone or Android?

Tom Hanks is hosting SNL October 22!

So I saw from another review that it's revealed that the main kid had a sibling die of cancer and that's why he's so "troubled"???? And apparently that isn't even the twist mentioned here???????????

The end of the final chorus of "Stay (Faraway, So Close)" never fails to send chills up my spine.

I'm honestly a little unnerved by how well this Oscar season appears to be going thus far. Birth of a Nation is losing traction every day, most of the races are genuinely up for grabs, Greta Gerwig and Michael Shannon have very good chances to be nominated, Mica Levi may honest-to-god be a frontrunner for Best Score,

He's doing the score!

The connections between the entries have gotten really tenuous, 2046 didn't have anything to do with the other films.

I really wish they made it for this year, because given how splintered the competition in Best Cinematography is, this might've been Deakins' year.

It's just going to be him saying and describing the variety of insults his wife throws at him in a monotone.

And Roger Deakins!

The cinematographer drop-kicks babies off hotel balconies, but other than that, yeah.

*raises hand*

If the movie had been undeniable (which it sounds like it really isn't) and if Parker hadn't seemingly been intent on self-sabotage during press interviews and if there weren't many other great films coming out from black filmmakers with black casts, I might believe he and the movie had a serious chance. But…

That reviewer has a name, and it's Matt Zoller Seitz!

Given Parker's awful comments about black men playing gay characters, it would be utterly delicious if Moonlight stole all his thunder.

I'd be lying if I said part of me doesn't want to see this, but it sounds like, aside from the ickiness of a rapist adding extra rape to the history of a real historical figure, this combines self-importance, subpar aesthetics, and semi-narcissism, which, uh, no thanks.

It doesn't even sound like he really did that.

I have a feeling you won't have to worry about that second part…

That is some of the finest avatar-comment synchronicity I've seen.
