I love Bill Simmons' idea of giving out Oscars 5 years after the fact. Like they do for sports HOF nominations. It would obviously never happen because of marketing reasons, but it's a much better design than the one they have now.

I mean this concept holds true in every award type event whether it be for music, tv, videogames, etc. The Oscars are just the biggest of these kind of things. Not that the discussion isn't fun or interesting. The Wire never won an emmy but nobody cares because nobody cares about the emmys in that way. The Oscars simply matter in a way culturally that those other awards don't, even though I would argue they get it closer to right than other award shows often do.

Oscars are always gonna be tough because of that tension between what people actually watch in mass, versus what critics like, versus what oscar voters like, versus what movie kind of captures the cultural zeitgeist of the moment. It's never gonna be a universal thing in such a divided world nowadays.

This is why I like YMS. He posts his "best of" videos like 3-4 years after the fact, after he's made sure to watch (and rewatch) as many contenders as he can find. He gets a little artsy-fartsy with his picks but I appreciate the perspective. Cinema isn't just America.

His latest one has been influencing my to-watch list recently:

What's the best film adaptation of 'And then there were None?' Murder on the Orient Express got me in the mood for more.
there's a very well reviewed, recent BBC version that I haven't yet seen and is probably it. The two film versions I've seen I couldn't recommend.

All the Petet Ustinov/Poriot films are pleasant but not terribly remarkable, the same for the one Angela Lansberry/Ms. Marple. The best film of that sort (polite British murder mystery) would be Robert Altman's Gosford Park. Not explicitly based on a Christie story,but might as well have been, with way more nuanced characters than you would ever find in one her worms proper. Great cast too.

kinda like this dude's videos, found him today

What was great about the first Predator is that it started out as a typical 80's action movie with beefy studs shooting up some natives in a third-world country while tossing out witty one-liners, but then flips the scripts in the second half by pitting them against a lone threat that slowly cuts them down one by one.

Mute was weird. Felt like a really ambitious and expensive syfy/canadian tv movie somehow more aimless and pointless. A couple interesting things in there, I liked what Paul Rudd was doing.

Watched Three Billboards on Friday night and The Square on Saturday. Three Billboards was really well done and it wasn't what I was expecting. Not really sure what I was expecting honestly. The Square was damn funny and forces you into some seriously uncomfortable situations. It also did a good job skewering the upper class artsy types who always claim to care about the little people but then do pretty much nothing about it.

The Square doesn't get enough credit for how funny it was IMO.

Good Time

Idk about this movie. Robert Pattison was definitely great, and through him the movie really shines at times. The film is propelled by frantic action, and Pattison captures that so well, i found it unfortunate they over-used the shaky cam to communicate this aspect further (and possibly hide poor choreography?), it became really overbearing for me, and Oneohtrix Point Nevers soundtrack was over-hyped.

The more I think about it the more I think I like it. It's still a little too long and dull but with a bit of distance I think I can appreciate what it's going for. It's very much influenced by classic noir rather than neo-noir  and I think thats why it feels so..dated. The femme fatales all turn out to be of course very dangerous or dead, the bad guy you think is bad turns out to be not really and the guy you think won't be so bad turns out to be even worse.

Sort of less about anything really than it is about how life can sweep you up and set you down sometimes, you play your cards well.

Pixar’s Coco - Moving and beautiful. I get soppy when watching family drama on airplanes, and this one really did me in. I loved it.

Justice League - fell asleep the first time I watched it, woke up at different places in the story, didn’t care that I had missed stuff. Went back after a snooze and watched the parts I missed. There’s some decent Whedonesque dialog in there, the the effects are OK except for Steppenwolf and Cavill’s missing mustachio. Ezra Miller's Flash is cute. I still like Batfleck. I will watch Gal Gadot do whatever she wants for as long as she wants. Cyborg was moody and poorly CG-animated. Boozy bro Aquamauri didn't work for me, tonally.

The Temple - I like slow burn suspense films, and I like j-horror, but this is just a lethargic mishmash of Japanese horror tropes and mid-2000s creepypasta image-editing “spoooooooky” visuals. The lack of coherence or any explanation of its goals is as complete as it is irresponsible.

The Cloverfield Paradox - Had to unplug my brain with extreme prejudice to enjoy this. It’s filled with so much “That’s not how that works. That’s not how ANY of that works!” that I was eventually able to just shut off my meager physics awareness and go with it. Chris O’Dowd was funny in it. I watched the first ⅓ without English closed-captions, and assumed they were treating Xing Ziying like Chewbacca, and that everyone’s responses were what made her Chinese utterances contextually clear to the audience. Turns out, no, they just relied on subtitles that were not automatically enabled. :lol Having an international crew who speak some Chinese to the one Chinese crewmember, despite having a Russian and a German who never speak their language natively seemed tone-deaf. Cloverfield license was tacked on clumsily, but the whole movie does everything so clumsily, it's part of its "charm."

edit: Should also admit to seeing Daddy's Home 2, which was more of what the first one was, but fewer surprises, no weirdo side characters like Hannibal Buress and Thomas Hayden Church. I guess that was supposed to be Lithgow (underused) and Gibson (under-punished).

Lastly, The Kingsman: Golden Circle was trashed by reviews, but it's a worthy sequel to the first movie. It's nonsensical, humorous, action-packed, with an oddball villain. If NOTHING ELSE, the scenes with Elton John make the movie worth seeing. There's plenty more to enjoy though. Channing Tatum's role is practically a cameo. Part of me wonders if he wasn't supposed to be Agent Whiskey, but then had a scheduling conflict.

It's a slasher movie that addresses the hecklers who asked, "Yeah, Freddie Krueger is scary, but the victims are all stupid wimps! What if Jason Voorhees fought badasses, huh?!"

Went and had a drink after work at a plaza, walked out buzzed and saw Game Night started in 5 mins and not one, but two bore patreons recommended it, so despite my immense dislike of Jason Bateman got a ticket.

Was enjoyable. Took a while to get going, but had a few really funny bits and generally was entertaining. Jason Bateman was still Jason Bateman, but Rachel McAdams is fantastic. Definitely my celebrity crush since True Detective S2.

Watching End of Tour again and its making me uncomfortable. I basically see all the ego centric, self aware aspects in Wallace in the rewatch, but also in Lipsky (the interviewer). We all want to be acknowledged for our contributions, to be appreciated. But when you're so self aware as Wallace its almost nauseating. You know you want this love but its in knowing you want it thats the problem. The difference in Lipsky and Wallace is this self awareness.

I dont know why but some part of me was screaming to see this again.

I've seen The Gift, which was good because of writing/directing and Edgerton.

Wait, is liking Jason Bateman really a thing? The dude has zero range. He plays his Arrested Development character in every movie. All he can do is play this stiff super serious nitpicky guy. I find him unlikeable and annoying in everything. Game Night was enjoyable because everyone else, really dislike Bateman.

Also dislike Adam Scott for most of the same reasons. Like take Rachel McAdams in Game Night, she's playing a completely different type of character than she played in Spotlight or TD. She can do serious, she can do silly, she's a good actress.

Not saying movies with Bateman are bad, but Bateman always plays an unlikeable stick up his ass character and nothing else so why would I ever like him personally in anything?

Yeah, that's true that in AD everyone else is so crazy he's actually the relatable "normal" character. I'm ok with him in that although I still don't really like him or his humor much. Idk, his humor style just doesn't gel with me.

Everyone involved in The Party is some old pro, but its a classic-styled drawing room farce with a feel and occasional clumsiness of a fledgling effort. But new movies of this type are so rare anymore (and the excellent cast) helped me to forgive any minor shortcomings. It is in itself a minor work, a modest aiming comedy that's breezy and seemingly intentionally removed of any substanitive subtext. But some of this is over analysing a funny movie wherein a bunch of great actors get together and insult each other in sophisticated ways (like the toniest episode of Fraiser ever) for an hour and change. I want to see Bruno Ganz as every blissed out hippie in future roles available now.



Before We Vanish would be weird for any other director, but for Kiyoshi Kurasawa, its well within his wheelhouse. Its an earnest science fiction piece, like almost exactly how It Came From Outer Space or a many great other 1950's sci-fi would look like through the director's 'I can make any movie you like as long as its spooky and about personal estrangment' lens. Taken apiece with his previous works it doesn't have a lot of surprises, except for Kurasawa's newfound sense of humor. This has gotta be his funniest movie ever, and while its far from his best, or even his best recent, its still a satisfying and even tender trip his personal obessions. Glad I went.

Wrinkle in Time - Serviceable kids flick up until a disastrous third act. “Serviceable” meaning boring—unfortunately, little of interest happens until the terrible third act. Everything in this movie takes longer to happen than necessary and it feels longer than it is. The cast does pretty well with what they’re given. I was kinda hoping this would be worse than it was. I was hoping for a total train wreck.

I liked it too, but it feels a bit sloppy and underwhelming. It lacks the scale/buildup of Avengers movies and doesn't approach the very best of the Justice League cartoon series/standalone films.

Yeah, I agree with this. There are many parts of the story that just fell flat, and even when the big bad was defeated I looked at the screen wondering, "is that it?"  Just like a lot of these ensemble superhero movies, the bad guys are forgettable.  The film altogether though wasn't anywhere near as bad as what I was anticipating from the reviews I had read. And seeing a lot of these heroes in action was really satisfying. I was a DC kid after all.

Sloppy is a very good word to describe it.

I could never understand the hype for him either. He makes some really intense shit but it's too much. Some girl once told me she loves his movies because he nails what it's like to have serious anxiety and depression or something like that

That’s about how I felt about them, too. I’m a pretty big Lars fan myself. Have you seen Melancholia? A lot of people seem to have ignored it, but it’s probably his best and most approachable work. Lars even gets a good performance out of the chronically untalented and ugly bitch Kirsten Dunst. Fair warning, though: the movie lives up to its title.

Watched Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Fun popcorn movie like they used to make them. Hart didn't even make an attempt to imitate a teenage boy, he was playing himself again.

Justice League.... really wasn't that bad. A little too convenient at times, but not bad.

Ewwwww. I preferred Batman vs Superman to be honest, don't get me wrong, BvS was a disaster but at least it had some memorable moments and some interesting direction when they weren't fighting the shitty monster. Justice League on the other hand had nothing memorable, it was even more generic, bland and inoffensive than fucking Marvel movies.

Machete Kills - Jesus this was bad, why am I still watching Rodriguez movies? Fucking Two and a Half Men jokes and Star Wars refereces, what year is it. And what is it with these movies only adapting "70s, get it!?!?" for some inconsistent screen filter, while the rest is all modern with a plot that takes place in current time...

Melancholia is one of my fave movies. Antichrist was pretty good. Haven't seen much of Lars' other stuff.
