Re: Cannes 2024
The Shining should have been ignored, what Kubrick did to Stephen King's novel was a travesty. Kubrick improved upon the source material and even King has finally come around to admitting that the film adaptation is great after lambasting it for decades and saying he had to turn it off when it appe...

Re: Cannes 2024
The Apprentice is out. Reviews don't seem great. Gleiberman seems to like it okay. Also, the film depicts him as a rapist. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/20/the-apprentice-review-cartoon-version-of-chump-in-chief-donald-trumps-early-years?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=edit_2221&u...

Re: 2024 Emmy Awards
I agree with Sabin that Baby Reindeer will be a big contender in the Limited Series categories at the Emmys, basically any category in which it’s nominated. This is pretty harrowing stuff. Bravo to Richard Gadd for being this vulnerable in portraying his story. It’s very good and hard to watch at ti...

Re: Civil War reviews
Tee, did you not see Mare of Easttown? Cailee Spaeny was the young murder victim whose demise drives the plot of the show. Seems like something you would have seen.

Re: Civil War reviews
I saw Civil War on Thursday night and I’m curious what the spoiler was. I really can’t imagine what it could be.

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1958
I’m not sure whether Donat's performance opposite Ingrid Bergman in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness was considered a lead but posthumous nominations in the supporting categories didn't happen until Ralph Richardson in 1984 and haven't happened since. Heath Ledger received a posthumous Best Supportin...

Re: Ceremony Details
Goddammit, are they doing that stupid clipless tribunal bullshit again? They better not be. That was so fucking stupid and did NOT work that year (the Kate Winslet/Mo’Nique/Heath Ledger year, IIRC). I also don’t like it when they do montages of the actor’s nominated performance which, I believe, th...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Adapted Screenplay
Put me down for "four of the five here could win". I can't bring myself to believe so determinedly a non-dialogue piece as The Zone of Interest could win in anything other than a free-for-all pure accident. Of course, if I'm saying the other four are all in it, that's precisely the thing ...

Re: The Zone of Interest reviews
Has literally no one seen this besides me and Tee? Strange how little discussion there is about what I find one of the best films of the year. I pointed out below that it should be a strong contender for Best Sound (which I stated pre-BAFTA win). I will be predicting it at the Oscars, Oppenheimer be...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Best Actress
The desire in some quarters for her to get two nominations, as an example. That “desire” was completely warranted. I’m actually surprised her supporting nomination didn't materialize since her work in the film is one of its greatest strengths and that category was literally all over the place as fa...

Re: The Zone of Interest reviews
Why did the grandmother leave so suddenly? I do wish that one or two things, like whatever her mother wrote in that note, were slightly more spelled out. Upon further reflection, I have a different take now on the grandmother character. I think we have to assume she went back home, wherever that wa...

Re: The Zone of Interest reviews
Mister Tee is correct that the film version of The Zone of Interest is a large deviation from the source novel. There were two main characters of the novel erased from the film (the Kapo, I would say, might just be that one Jewish man who delivered the fur coat). But the essence of the novel is very...
