Melancholia. I’m currently reveling in it.

What do you mean by this?

Rosamund with the many ways of treating a prop

I don’t see Pike gaining steam either, but I’m still going to obsess over her because she consistently churns out top tier work. I do think there is a world, though, in which she bests Bakalova for C/M GG, although as mentioned she must be very low on Netflix’s list of priorities.

When she said “I’m never letting you go” so matter of factly, I screamed

You’re such a loser lmao

Another reminder that Chicago 7 is revisionist BS and that awarding/admiring it is destructive.

Told you I smelled a Kord.

I selfishly am thankful too, though I’ve already seen it. The film portrays the effects of a rough capitalist system and, though Searchlight is owned by Disney, adding it to a streaming service–one that is a part of a giant media conglomerate–when cinemas are failing is rather antithetical to Nomadland‘s themes.

Another scathing review of the fecal matter that is Sorkin’s Chicago 7.

“…It skips the chaos of the convention itself to take us right into the courtroom where they’ve been hauled up on absurdly punitive charges of conspiracy and incitement to riot. And why s…[Read more]

Yikes… a total concession and quite antithetical to the film’s themes…

Amy Dunne looks so f*cking good in this. It’ll be such a tease if she wins C/M Globe but is not nominated for an Oscar. She looks worthy of a win for this, but alas…

Does anyone else smell Kord?

the Kirbster. and Zendaya when she comes out. That’s why I’ve been leaning towards them in my ~predicting mind~… All the contenders would be so worthy because they’re all brilliant performances, but it’s a feeling I’m having.

I will be posting one review a day of this film, and I suggest you all read! They’re all very well written and a great argument on why this really isn’t a film anybody should be rallying for.

I don’t know who on earth could play them, but there needs to be a biopic on the Nicholas Brothers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t521jxF8tyc

Three Black actors can be nominated based on merit alone and it would have nothing to do with an agenda, especially not in a white supremacist society.

Gotcha, thank you. Incredibly ignorant question but are these BAFTA Q&As with full BAFTA voting panels? Or are they like ~required viewing~ for BAFTA viewers? Just trying to gather more of a sense of how these Q&As play a role in the race; I truly don’t know.

People keep saying this but I’m honestly missing the connection lol. Feeling like I watched a different movie. 

Wym?
