I didn't know anything about short selling until Le Chifre tried to do it to that airline.

Noah came from an imaginary "race" that lived to be 1000 years old. Hard to cast an actor to fit the pre-flood look.

Avatar was good and I will see the sequels.
Between the rampant Avatar snark and the hate directed at force Awakens, nerds on the internet sure hate being told a traditional hero's journey story.

Mad Max is going to win. And that leaves four losers out of Bridge of Spies, It Follows (won't get nom but should), Carol, Creed, Brooklyn, Ex Machina, Spotlight (should NOT get directing nom but probably will).

I'll have to look for that whenever I see it again.

Also breaks its own rules. We're told by the closest thing the characters have to an expert that it will always come for you. It might have to be creative and walk to a window or a back door, but it will never stop coming for you.

The infuriating thing is that Tom Rothman, former head of Fox who slashed Singer's budget on x-Men, refused to let him have Sentinels because he thought big robots were stupid, and had him dragged off the property when he signed onto Superman Returns, is the same numbnuts who is now running Sony, and has final say

The lady behind me at Ant-Man stayed until the post-credits scene that I am about to spoil, watched Captain America, Falcon and Winter Soldier in a scene together, then got all excited saying "Ohh, that's the guy from Arrow! I can't wait to see Arrow in Ant-man 2!"

I still like de Palma's original. Looking back, you can see how it's 50% of a BDP movie and 50% of the set-piece showcase the series turned into.

People stealing Hitchcock's titles pisses me off. There's no chance in hell that Hollywood studios don't know that "Notorious" "Saboteur" "Mr. and Mrs Smith" "Suspicion" and "Stage Fright" are already claimed by a master.
