Re: Razzie Winners
It seems both impossible but inarguable that, even if you do believe movies are getting worse on the whole, the Razzies have somehow outpaced their decline ... by a lot.

Re: Anonymous Oscar Ballots
All this controversy and hand wringing when DRIVE MY CAR is both clearly a better film and also boasts sign language.

Re: Secondary Film Critics Winners
The reality, based on my read of the situation, is that the majority of the critics in this org are bloggers, many living outside of the Minneapolis metro area, and aren’t on the list for critics’ screenings. And when it became clear that any critics’ group that didn’t at least wait for the chance t...

Re: Secondary Film Critics Winners
Tempted to start a thread called "tertiary film critics winners" for this announcement. The Minnesota Film Critics Alliance completed the nomination process over the last week for its second annual award honors. Eligible films for this year’s awards included those released from March-Decem...

Re: Secondary Film Critics Winners
I know precisely one person who's involved in this group -- https://mnfilmcriticalliance.wordpress.com/ -- who are giving out awards in February, none of whom are the state's last remaining in-print-for-a-major-publication movie critic. (Chris Hewitt, Minneapolis Star Tribune, for the record.) Based...

Re: The Different Ways I'm Looking at the Four Acting Categories
1) Great to see you still stay somewhat connected to us. 2) In lieu of dependable guidance, I'd gone with the format used by SAG and the Broadcasters. But I bow to your insider knowledge. I can’t avoid checking in now and again, emphasis on the “now” at times like this when we have a clear race but...

I promise you, I was not that solitary voter for The Wiz, despite being the only person in the natural world who still harbors some affection for that movie.

Re: Reasons/blame for Whiteout 2?
More and more, these responses -- Cheryl Boone Isaacs's included -- are starting to seem disrespectful to the actual nominees. Given what's on the table, I fail to see the problem there. (And Jada Pinkett Smith's performance in Magic Mike XXL is not only better than her husband's Oscar-bait fare th...

Neither of the best scores I heard this year -- Nils Frahm's for Victoria nor Cat's Eyes' for The Duke of Burgundy -- are here. *shrugs*
