Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Magilla, are you on uppers or something? Did you not get from the reviews that The Substance is a horror movie? An apparently quite gross horror movie? Hasn't the experience of Hereditary and Us demonstrated that even horror movies critics rally behind just don't fly with Academy voters? Never say ...

Wow. Just when we were ready to give up on this festival, a 13-minute-standing ovation for a horror movie based on Dorian Gray with touches of The Shining and The Fly, followed by a terrific 34-minute press conference with Demi Moore, Coralie Fargeat, and Dennis Quaid available on YouTube. Should no...

Midterm performance was considered a win for the Democrats by most strategists because the Republicans didn't win as many seats as was expected, that and the fact that most if not all of the subsequent replacement races have been in their favor. You would think that would turn the key in the Dems' d...

Also many of the earlier horror schlock have been re-assessed. Take a look at the IMDb. ratings of his films. Those with a rating of ...
