Schindler’s List too.

I just keep thinking back to Billy Wilder, who always maintained that color film was a mistake, and the lack of color was an intrinsic part of the film artform that it became something lesser without. The Apartment is the last Best Picture winner to be black and white simply because the director preferred it to color…

I can only assume it ends with Jane dumping his ass when he laughs at the idea of her getting equal pay.

A Big Hand for the Little Lady: A poor sharecropper and gambling addict loses his family’s savings in a giant poker game with the best players in the area, and promptly has a heart attack before he can try to get it back, forcing his wife to step into his spot despite knowing nothing about the game. Since it’s not…

That plane from Godzilla Minus One with the rear-mounted propeller is a real thing, though the war ended before they could be used and the filmmakers had to get a new one made from the blueprints.

Also one devoted entirely to ranting about how we should have been buddies with Castro ever since he took power.

The one story my grandfather ever did tell was that he was hit in the arm by anti-aircraft fire, and kept the removed fragments in the same box with his Purple Heart. Since it happened in December, he called them “Hitler’s Christmas present.”

I figured Hilary Clinton would be more of an Anatomy of a Fall fan.

You know, there’s a whole other hugely popular Wes Craven franchise that can pay tribute to him if this one’s dead.

My grandfather was in a bomber and knew some of these guys, so I’m especially interested. Sadly, he passed a while ago and hated talking about the war anyway, so I can’t get any personal insight there.

Also a complete right wing freak who hated black people. Let’s not leave that part out just because he played a few cool characters.

Do people think Robbie and Gosling were directly competing against each other? Because that’s the vibe I get every time someone talks about this.

Cameron threw a hissy fit about that, which is why the movie and Korra don’t have Avatar in the title. Apparently he’s realized how ridiculous it is now.

I wish I wasn’t so excited about a live action Aang having his name pronounced correctly, but here we are.

2023 is the best movie year I’ve personally experienced in my nearly 40 years, so I have a lot more sympathy than usual for the Oscar voters who only have so many spots to fill. In particular, I have to seriously ask anyone who says Margot Robbie was snubbed: Who exactly would you bump out of the list so she could get…

One of those rare directors like Howard Hawks and Spielberg who could seemingly make any kind of movie. Even his stuff in the same genre is nothing like each other. The best tribute I can come up with is Siskel and Ebert’s review of Moonstruck, one of their most outright endearing times together where they just can’t…

And he made Jesus Christ Superstar right after.

“And Godzilla Minus One did it on an estimated budget of around $10 million (no, really, there’s no zero missing there).”

Blackberry is easily my choice for the best of the “product biopics” just because it has the guts to go all the way to the product falling off a cliff and taking all its creators with it. The final symbol of the company hitting rock bottom, which is perfectly set up through the whole movie, made me gasp out loud in…
