Good news. Now all he has to do is apologize for his songs and then hopefully he'll be able to leave Earth with no unfinished business?

I was going to say that it's good to see international markets doing diversity where the USA doesn't, but then I saw that all but one of the Best Picture nominees at the César awards are about white people, all 24 acting nominees are white (including two different guys who played Yves Saint Laurent), and this one,…

Can't we all just agree that neither movie seems like that and put an end to these stupid comparisons?

I seriously don't understand this "boo, it's about a white boy" backlash against Boyhood. So what if it's about a white boy? That has nothing to do with the quality of the movie.

To be fair, the comparison is enforced by the title. Considering it was originally titled Band of Girls, it's almost a given that they changed it to "Girlhood" in order to market the film as some kind of female response to Boyhood, whatever that means. Yes, it's kind of stupid, but it's not like Jesse invented the…

That I'm gonna have to disagree with. We get hung up on American Hustle now but this is the same man who wrote Flirting with Disaster, Three Kings and Silver Linings Playbook, all of which had pretty good characters. Even AH's characters were reasonably three-dimensional, much as they were steeped in so much style and…

Thank you, it's the first time somebody compliments my avatar/name.

This is honestly the greatest comment I have ever read.

Next, Whitlock should make a video explaining the difference between a loophole and a legitimate hole.

Chris Weitz has the weirdest career of any working director. He co-directed American Pie, then directed that Chris Rock resurrection comedy, then About a Boy, then The Golden Compass, then the worst of the Twilight movies and then A Better Life, the immigration drama for which Demian Bichir earned an unexpected Oscar…

Both are very good, but Antz hasn't aged as well due to weird animation and an exaggerated focus on Woody Alen's vocal tics.

The English Patient isn't an acclaimed film. It's widely considered one of the worst Best Picture winners in history.

This is strange to say of an actress with five Academy Award nominations under her belt, but Adams is seriously underrated. She turns in legitimately great performances in everything she does, yet people never seem to give her enough credit. She and DiCaprio are 100% on the same boat when it comes to Oscar…

I think it's perfectly possible that Phoenix lost a lot of weight to do The Master but didn't want a big deal to be made out of it lest anyone think it was just an Oscar-begging stunt.

That's David O. Russell's whole modus operandi. He writes screenplays in order to provide good parts for actors he likes.

I read "Eternal Sunshine screenwriter to…" and for a second I thought Charlie Kaufman was up to something new after his last stint in development hell.

Gosh, that's horrible. You can never underestimate the lows people are willing to sink to on Twitter.

Not that there's anything wrong with swines.

Honestly, I'd watch it for the entertainment. If it's anti-war, all the better. If it's jingoistic like some are saying, who cares, it's not going to change my mind and its politics won't necessarily take away from the enjoyment. (See: Lone Survivor.)
