It’s basic disaster movie scientist methodology, I guess.

I get that they were trying to emphasize to apocalyptic nature of it all, but man was that mycologist willing to give up quickly. Do they not have any antifungals at all in this world? Are athletes foot and yeast infections similarly incurable?

Bravo to Christine Hakim for making, in a brief role, Dr. Ratna a compelling, dignified character with an inner life. The way she even protested her being picked up by the cops told us something about her.

It really is pathetic how little research you guys do these days. The song and score from “Tar” didn’t make the shortlists, and therefore can’t be nominated. There are literally dozens of websites and news sources - including the Academy’s site - that would have given you this information if you put out even the most…

I might be partial to Texas-set movies, but Andrea Riseborough was fantastic in To Leslie...

That’s what I am attributing to my need for closed captions to be on 24/7 now.

Nice soundtrack, though. 

It was just an excuse for a group of people to go have a nice vacation during COVID. And I’m sure it was a nice vacation. But, as a movie, it sucked.

I guess this is more specifically about blockbuster sequels than sequels in general? If it isn’t, Before Midnight’s exclusion is downright unforgivable.

Wasn’t FF6 the one with the 80mph chase down a runway that lasted 30 minutes?

It’s about time Better Call Saul got some sort of award recognition 

I do not understand the praise for Glass Onion. I really liked the first Knives Out, but I found Glass Onion boring and really bad. 

I do see what is happening here.

He’s obviously Evil Abed in this timeline

She coulda had the Disney corporation delivering dump trucks of cash to her house on a routine basis, but she wanted to be mad online, instead. I would delete my Twitter account for Disney money. I would delete my Twitter account for Lifetime television money. I would delete my Twitter account for $20 actually.
