Re: New Developments III
danfrank wrote FYI, Katie Porter had to give up her House seat to run for Senate, as did Barbara Lee. I did the same as you, deciding last minute to vote for Porter to have a better chance at an all-Dem slate in the general. I was surprised how poorly the two women did. No surprise that the GOP vot...

Re: New Developments III
Well, it's going to be Adam Schiff vs. Steve Garvey. I strategically cast my vote for Katie Porter at the last moment but even if you combine Porter and Lee's votes it probably wouldn't have been enough to get past Garvey. I don't really have a problem with Adam Schiff on the whole. I just thought a...

Big Magilla wrote That's the concern I have about most of the races this year. The good news is that mail-in voting remains a thing. Also, right-wing lunacy is in full swing like I've never seen before. Every time I think we've lost, the right-wing does crazy shit like going after IVF. Wildly outsi...

Re: New Developments III
danfrank wrote Yes, and let’s hope that Ruben Gallego runs a strong campaign because Kari Lake would be far worse than Sinema. I think Gallego is going to win. I'm hearing a lot about how "progressive" he is but he's not nearly as far to the left as Lake is to the right. She is the worst ...

Re: New Developments III
Krysten Sinema has bowed out of the Senate race in Arizona. Good riddance.

Re: Categories One-by-One: Best Sound
The closest example I can think of The Zone of Interest winning would be Sound of Metal. A ground-scale indie where sound design plays an extra character in the film. The biggest difference I can think of is that Sound of Metal wasn't up against Oppenheimer. Its competition was Greyhound, Mank, News...

Re: The Official Review Thread of 2023
Just watched The Creator at home, which is the dumbest way I could've seen it. Really frustrated at myself for not seeing it on the big screen. It's a gorgeous film. These effects (how did they do this for $80m?) are incredible and the visual world-building is incredible. It really deserved more con...

dws1982 wrote This should be Killers of the Flower Moon. Wild how other, less impressive Scorsese films made runs through the tech awards and this one won't win anything below the line.

R.I.P. Richard Lewis
When he was diagnosed with Parkinson's last year, I was surprised. I thought he had been diagnosed years prior. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/richard-lewis-dead-comic-curb-your-enthusiasm-actor-1235838668/#recipient_hashed=1b8821351fe0d7a932f5d2f4bc16fd77a98753d8a1e875e03e0fc0a5564ecf...

flipp525 wrote I also don’t like it when they do montages of the actor’s nominated performance which, I believe, they did last year again. Pick one clip and show it. That’s how they’ve been doing it for decades and it’s worked out just fine. They always mess with non-problems areas of the show rath...

Mister Tee wrote I'm even ambivalent on whether I WANT him to win for this -- I feel like, should Anderson finally win an Oscar, it ought to be for, at very least, screenplay; not something so minor-league as this.
