Completely disagree - at least on Clueless. She’s great in that. The whole movie is centred around her and wouldn’t work if she didn’t have the chops and comic timing for it.

Yeah, the “Twenty years later people are still misunderstanding Fight Club” subheading is not only not what’s happening here but comes across a bit “I appreciate the Muppets on a deeper level”.
Honestly, I think the whole ‘No Way Home for Best Picture’ push is a bit much (and I really liked it) but if they gave Garfield a surprise Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role I wouldn’t be against it. He was clearly having so much fun with it and the reaction to it has been great.
Pulp waited for them to finishing their dick measuring contest and became the ultimate Britpop winners.
Apologies if it’s somewhere else obvious but do we know who’s leaving? I saw someone mention Dowd on another post, which is a shame - I don’t always agree with his points and tastes but he’s a great film writer.
Scream The?
I wasn’t too keen on it at first, simply because it didn’t feel very Dahl for want of a better adjective. But I’ve more than come around on it on rewatches - it’s now one of my favourite Anderson films. I don’t know what the cuss I was thinking at first.
I liked Soul a lot (especially second viewing on a cinema screen - the visuals are astonishing) and I loved Luca but Wreck-It Ralph just squeezes into the last decade of Disney films so I can’t give them that credit.
I'll second that praise for Wright. He was incredible in that film.
This should have been the headline.
SPOILERS
They're moments rather than scenes but the quick shot of Annette giving her monkey CPR and the stadium announcer declaring "Please be patient with her, baby Annette is a baby after all" (followed by "What is this little fucking bitch’s problem?") are two of my favourite film bits from the year.
Jesse is right - Always is absolutely Spielberg’s worst. Hook has (at least) Hoffman and Hoskins playing off each other and one of Williams’ best scores. Always has a couple of nice shots of planes and nothing else. I guess Goodman and Hunter try their best but combine Dreyfuss at his most smug and cover the whole…
“It’s big enough that they put it in HBO services on countries without HBO Max, and they don’t do that for just any other movie”
The first Resurrections trailer is incredible. Made me go from being merely curious about what a 2021 Matrix film would even be to... well, still not having any real idea (in a good way) but being fully down for whatever that trailer was selling.
It stands for Both-Benny-And-Bjorn.
I'm assuming they'll let Abbalanche off the hook for having a pretty good name.
(Though they at least don't mangle the sentence by running it through the Kinja filter)
“She earned her Oscar for her performance in the remake of A Star Is Born”
That was kind of my take on the film as well. I watched a load of 2001 films during lockdown this year (partly for something to do, partly revision for an edition of a monthly film quiz I run) and Freddy Got Fingered got to stay a few spaces from the bottom spot simply on the nerve of it all (and not just Green but…
