I'm not even sure Censor was the best British horror film of 2021

night house would be your pick?

The Night House was my favorite horror movie of the year*, but I don't think it was British.

I was thinking of In The Earth.

*incidentally, Rebecca Hall was robbed, again.

for some reason i thought it was a co-production

i enjoy the brutally honest oscar ballots because they remind us how academy voters have porridge for brains and no one should take these awards as conferring anything resembling artistic merit

seen all the nominees and as always the only decent stuff is in the international and documentary categories. of the best picture candidates drive my car absolutely annihilates everyone else, and of the rest only power of the dog, nightmare alley and king richard are worthy contenders

I still haven't seen Drive My Car, looks good. But what about Dune?

dune deserves every nomination it got in the technical categories and maybe director. not in my top 10 of 2021 by a long shot

That tops them accidentally giving an Oscar to the wrong film for 30 seconds as craziest thing to happen at the Oscars.

moving best actor to the end to honor chadwick boseman's passing and then anthony hopkins winning was pretty high up there too lmao

king richard and coda are interesting because king richard shows how you can elevate what would be a very conventional biopic and coda shows how if you do paint by number you win a bunch of big awards

i think all categories should be decided in trial by combat. just throw them all in the ring with a variety of sharp implements

just imagine. studios running campaigns not for their best performers but for their strongest fighters. now they have to put martial artists in bit parts to have a shot. cinema, saved

encanto ruined whatever goodwill i had for it when the village all came together to rebuild the house through collective effort and communal support and then... magic's back, everyone's got their powers again. much better ending if they don't get their gifts returned and everyone has to genuinely rely on each other to thrive

Are you really saying the movie industry is dying because you can’t watch a good movie in your bumfuck corner of America? The success of an industry isn’t measured by the showings at the multiplex of your hick town.

people everywhere deserve good movies and a theater to watch them in, jackass

the point about indie movies featuring major stars isn't wrong, but arkin, collette, kinnear and carell weren't box office draws at time of release. little miss sunshine gave them all an enormous boost, even carell, whose first run as a lead was in a gigantic career-killing flop

e: strike the bit about carell, I forgot about 40-year-old virgin. so it's true for him but not everyone else

double e: i checked when filming started for little miss sunshine, summer 2005 before 40-year-old virgin came out. so in reality they got carell for cheap and then his profile exploded just in time for sundance
