Cacator posted:Absolutely, but the Academy in its great wisdom did not deem it worthy of a single nomination. I guess it would have gone up against No Country and There Will Be Blood if it had which would've been an interesting race. 2007 was The Most insane year for film.

Cacator posted:I personally think 2006 is pretty solid too (maybe not for great cinema but for stuff I remember being entertained by), and I will defend Miami Vice until the day I die. Miami Vice is a loving masterwork. I've had sort of a rollercoaster ride of coming to terms with my fascination with Mann's police procedurals and my aggressive loathing of police, but I just don't think I'd ever be able to part with Miami Vice. It mashes some 'pure cinema' button in my head and it's really hard to properly articulate why. Just such an intense mix of loneliness, spectacle, posturing, and both exhaustion with and adoration of moral ambiguity.

TychoCelchuuu posted:Another good Miami Vice piece is this podcast episode. It's a very good movie. I like the director's cut, which doesn't make a ton of changes but which does some interesting stuff. I agree with everyone that the opening in the club is much better, and the director's cut loses that, so I wouldn't watch it my first time seeing the movie, but afterwards I'm a fan. oh yeah that original smash opening is absolutely priceless, it feels ballsy even today. i really wish the blackhat director's cut would get a proper release, that movie deserves better.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:the '10s were definitely a stronger slate of oscar winners than the oughts overall. No Country and Llewyn Davis are my Coen movies of preference. I think it's really unusual to have a movie as bleak and introspective as No Country win the top prize. Gladiator is kinda low tier Scott, but Joaquin does a good job and I had a blast seeing Oliver Reed before finally drank himself to death  TrixRabbi posted:

I enjoyed Tenet at least. I thought it was going to be dogshit but it was sort of extra in just the right way.

Roth posted:Just have Sound of Metal and The Father left to view, and so far I've only disliked Chicago 7. Yeah, the Sorkin trash stink was powerful with that one. The subject deserves better. I guess we'll always have Medium Cool.
