Okkkkk Da 5 Bloods.

Have yet to see Nomadland so right now, I’m actually rooting for Fennell and Promising Young Woman.

And man, there’s always at least one BP nominee that’s like wtf for me (people like it, I watch it, I don’t get why it’s “best” picture nom worthy). This year, it’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. But I’m rooting for Davis, Boseman and Turman, so there’s that.

It was alright. I enjoyed it.

SPOILER (KINDA)

Given the main character’s knack for spinning a tale, I thought for sure he was not as the opening scene suggests.

Agree with everything Marrowbone said but also, I wasn’t that big of a fan of that ending. But I’m glad this movie reminded me of my love for Mundian to Bach Ke.

Could this be…[Read more]

Meryl should’ve campaigned for Supporting.

What movie is Black Parade from?

I think Ben-Adir and Odom Jr. could be considered co-leads with Goree and Hodge as true supporting characters.

I think Odom Jr. is the most hyped because it is his character’s conflict with Malcolm X that drives the movie. I would love for Ben-Adir to make it too but personally, I don’t know who to remove to make that happen.

It’s not even an accent issue for me. I just wasn’t that impressed with SBC in Trial. His line, “I’ve never been in trial for my thoughts before,” is the most memorable line in that film for me. But i thought rylance, langella, abdul-mateen and even redmayne did a better job than him.

Is it because he’s a comedic performer giving a dramatic…[Read more]

Oddly enough, I cannot wait to see Close and Davidson together.

Spent 40 bucks on Promising Young Woman and News of the World, and I’ll do that again for Nomadland and Soul. But they’re not in Prime. Help!!!!

Ok. You Will Die at Twenty coming for that nomination. Just saw the trailer.

Still waiting for that last minute news that Yeun is moving to supporting for Minari.

But for now…….

Daniel Kaluuya, Judas and the Black Messiah
Leslie Odom Jr., One Night in Miami
Paul Raci, Sound of Metal
Mark Rylance, The Trial of Chicago 7

and idk… maybe Bo Burnham for Promising Young Woman.

East/West and Good Bye, Lenin are two of my favorite movies about this.

Man lol. Tom Hanks really is a “dad film” kinda actor.

So, having no idea beforehand who Sam Cooke was, I legit thought this song that his character keeps alluding to towards the end of the movie is gonna be Speak Now. Hahahahahaha.

And then he started singing A Change is Gonna Come and I’m like, “Ohhhhhhh!!! He sang this!!!”

I thought it was kinda boring too. A shame.

Yes!!!! This gets a Part 3 now. Lol.

Late to this (and it ultimately doesn’t matter anyway) but it felt more like Ben-Adir is the only lead actor in ONiM. Odom Jr and Goree are supporting-borderline-lead, and Hodge is just straight up supporting.

My Best Director lineup right now is just Emerald Fennell, Regina King and David Fincher. Waiting on Minari and Judas to complete it.

Tried to get it in Spotify but it’s mostly Pretty Fly for a White Guy. Lol.

Anyway, the more days pass, the more I like this film. I don’t even really mind the ending so much anymore.

A lot of these BP contenders have been underwhelming somehow but this is one of those that live up to its hype. Bravo to everyone involved.
