I wasn’t until you said that, but now I will...just to spite you.

I struggle to focus on her performances much these days, because her face is so rubbery and marred by plastic surgery.

Wow you just know he would’ve made a film as visually stunning.  JP was such a paradigm shift for the time.  It really was an incredible experience seeing it in 1993, and just marveling at how they did all that.  I just wish more filmmakers and studios would heed the lessons, that CGI is best when combined with…

I was 9 when it came out.  My parents took me to see it, which in hindsight is a bit surprising, since they were rather guarded with what I was allowed to see, and the movie was PG-13.  Maybe they figured the dinosaurs = kid friendly?  I do remember being pretty scared by it at the time, but it was a pretty amazing…

I think it could be interesting to remake the original, only hew closer to the original text.  And this time, spare no go or make it a hard-R

I mean, Barbie did utterly fail to talk about how the military-industrial complex conspired to keep the world in a state of perpetual war.

I mean, really for me the jump the shark moment was The Royal Tenenbaums. In that film, his immaculate attention to detail worked, because it served the story. But after all the praise and awards nominations, the lesson Anderson took from it was to run with the style, as opposed to the story, and increasingly his…

Why does this sound like someone trying to get ahead of a damning expose that is about to drop...

Seems like they’ve really tried to dial back the snark and just worked on compiling a list of legit bad films.  Makes sense, given past blunders including teasing a 12 year old, and mocking Bruce Willis.

Agree.  Maestro was so nakedly, shamelessly Awards-baity, that every single scene seemed to exist purely to serve as a possible “For you consideration” clip. Work like that doesn’t deserve to be recognized.  Greta Lee’s absolutely does.

The thing that draws me to Wes Anderson is, if nothing else, his films are gorgeous to look at. I’ll happily take a move that is at least a visually splendid experience, even if it fails on every other level.

Well it would be set in the 80s so maybe they could be Soviets or the Ayatollah?

I really really want to see Rachel McAdam’s win Best Supporting Actress, though at this point the moment does seem to be behind Da’Vine Randolph, who also gave a great performance.  McAdams was so, so good, so warm and understated.  She is truly our most underrated actor.  I dare say, she’s her generation’s Carole…

You’re kinder than me.  I felt as I watching it, like Wes Anderson had finally, truly and completely disappeared up his own ass.  

I’ve always thought you could do an interesting comedy based on a true crime that took place back in 1983 when Return of the Jedi was in theaters. In Overland Park, Kansas, thieves forced their way into the projection book of one area theater, in order to steal their film print. Their plan was to make a bootleg copy,…

Funny you mention that, I was pondering if hers is a lead or supporting performance.  It’s from her perspective, which feels like a lead, but in terms of presence it feels more supporting.  I could go either way, honestly.

Kids want to see the original Jamie back as the companion

These streamers are doing a bang up job creating IP with long shelf lives, given that they are littered with two season shows.

Her?  Is she funny?

Yeah Emma Stone keeps rising and it’s going to be a tight race for sure.  I’m torn.  I’d love to see Gladstone win, but I’d also love to see a comedic performance recognized.  I still give the edge to Gladstone because, right or wrong, the Academy voters love to virtue signal, and will want to avoid “Oscars be so…
