Missing from that list is a glaring omission common to so many noirs that its absence really mars the list: the shadow of World War II is often made explicit, usually through a character with a past as a veteran. Obviously not a requirement of every noir, but then neither is a femme (or homme) fata...

I've seen it four times (as I have, at minimum, all of Apichatpong's five feature films), and I'm not sure where to begin to answer your question. But I think I could pick at it from various points. Any specific questions you have? While you're thinking, here is a link to an interview I recently ga...

Perhaps not socially, but they might have bumped into each other on the Fox lot. Perhaps even been introduced by John Wayne. Pickfair (Mary Pickford and Doug Fairbanks' estate) was certainly the most famous Hollywood mansion of the twenties. I don't know if it had a reputation for being terribly so...

The Social Network is not just people talking; there are at least two major scenes that showcase editing in a fairly flashy way- the Facemash scene and the crew race (two very dissimilarly-edited scenes by the way). I think it's very very likely that Inception would have won the category if it had ...

Toy Story 3 is the first film to win Best Animated Feature and Best Song. Only two other Animated Feature winners have won awards in another category as well; Up won Best Score and The Incredibles won Best Sound Editing. It's the first sequel to win the Best Animated Feature category, and (I'm pret...

Since they've invited Celine Dion to groan through the In Memoriam segment I guess they won't be using John Barry's music to take us through it. Theoretically, she could sing one of the many many songs Barry wrote or co-wrote, though it's hard to think of any that are both well-known enough for the...

Dogtooth's reputation in certain circles is so bad (it was roundly hated at the geriatric Palm Springs Film Festival, for example) that I wonder if even the prospect of having to sit through an official Academy screening of it might scare off some of the regular FLF voters, thus making the pool of ...
