I watched I Care a Lot this weekend and I am very confused why this was in the comedy category. Nothing about this screamed comedy or even a dark comedy. I am still rooting for Pike to win the globe because it was the best performance of those five….but man I am left confused on this category placement.

Sicario and Inherent Vice made me vote for Scorsese, even when I prefer those other four films immensely more than his trifecta.

You gotta give that his late filmography is a bang.

Flee Trailer

She’s coming.
