Keoghan was never gonna get a nomination over the 5 guys who did get nominated, and I think Leo was probably 6th place.

Honestly, Rosamund Pike deserved a nomination for Supporting Actress, and I’d give her the nomination that Emily Blunt got. Oppenheimer was my favorite movie of the year, but until today, I completely…

I haven’t seen Saltburn but it’s seemingly been polarizing enough that it’s not surprising it couldn’t muster enough votes to be nominated.

Nyad likely appealed to the older academy voters who have a soft spot for a legendary, but older actress like Annette. Frankly, there’s always at least one older actor (talking about age 70+) who gets a nomination seemingly out of nowhere for a movie that very few people likely watched. Not to take anything away from…

Exactly.

The question that people need to ask is, “Okay, if you put Margot in, who do you take out?” Looking at the nominations, the immediate two names are Annette Benning and Sandra Huller. Mulligan, Stone, and Gladstone are too good in their respective roles (and I think Gladstone is a lock), while Nyad and Anatomy…

Your early morning contribution has been noted. Cheers.

Yeah, DeSantis (who, lets be clear, I don’t like) did almost everything wrong from the very start, which are the unforced errors I was speaking about. He would’ve always had a hard time overcoming Trump, but running a campaign that tried to do two mutually exclusive things (I’m both more radical-right than Trump, but…

The thirst over Adam Driver is one of those situations where it’s clear that what straight women find hot is often the diametric opposite of what gay men find hot, because you almost  never hear gay men talking lustingly about Adam Driver (and as a gay man myself, Driver has one of the weirdest faces I’ve seen and…

Having agency at moments is far different than being the active protagonist.

She only goes to Calvin Coolidge (and, most importantly, as part of an entire delegation) after we’ve witnessed half a dozen of just her family members get killed/die. In reality, the number of Osage who were killed by that point was nearly 60…

One of the big issues is that movie studios are trying to mint the next generations of super stars (since the ones that we know and love are, to a crazy extent, 40+), and unfortunately, many of that next generation are coming from super-popular and relatively popular TV shows. This is both a boon and a risk for those…

He was murdered, poisoned by a drug dealer who sold fentanyl disguised as 30m Oxycontins or Percocets.

It’s even weirder when you consider that the closest analogue to this case — the 1993 accidental shooting death of Brandon Lee — resulted in the DA declining to press charges even though (and I’m paraphrasing) negligence was factor, there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

So, if they’re not charging him as a…

I have an issue with Scorsese turning Ernest Burkhart into the central character because he’s just so damn enamored with DiCaprio yelling and making faces.

Call me a cynic, but the salient reality is that this particular story (while riveting) simply wouldn’t be more than a well-made documentary or a terribly worse film without people like Scorsese and DiCaprio behind it.

You say it would be a better movie, but you don’t say why. Merely changing the POV to an Osage…

You’re absolutely right in that it’s conceptual, but we can use other resources to get an estimate.

For example, an article by Forbes put the cost estimate at between $400m-$500m. Liberty Media’s Principle Financial Office Brian Wendling stated in an investor call that construction costs alone were expected to be…

I think the specific words of the article should be looked at.

I-275 is part of the interstate highway system, funded 90% by the federal government, with the remaining 10% coming from a mixture of state and local funding, bond issues, and the like.

Brightline is a private company. They have a huge incentive (profits) to do things cheaply.

Simply saying “they can do the same thing”…

Ironically enough, Max Payne 3 sold better than the first 2, and 3 was developed was by Rockstar while 1 and 2 were developed by Remedy (but published by Rockstar).

Sure, 3 isn’t held to the same esteem as 1 or 2, but it did sell better.

1. You missed my point about population density. Florida’s most dense city, Miami, is still less dense and less populous than that of France’s, which is Paris. Jacksonville, the most populous city, is less dense than Marseilles, the 2nd most populous city, and Tampa and Orlando, the 3rd and 4th most populous, are less…

What I’m about to say doesn’t pertain to you specifically, but I get the sense that a lot of people seem to think that during the days of primarily disc-based gaming, storage wasn’t an issue, but it definitely was.

I played exclusively on Sony consoles until the PS3/360 generation, and let me tell you, due to how…

The big issue when it comes to console capacity is that not only are games larger than ever before, the expectation of the amount of playtime over the lifetime of the purchase is higher than before. You add in the fact that many of these larger, longer games also have a multiplayer component, so that leads to arguably …
