Re: NYFCC Winners

I’ll write about this later since I think I might be the only person who has seen it on this board, but I think American Fiction could be the eventual Best Picture winner.

Re: R.I.P. Frances Sternhagen

My college friend is Frances’s cousin and I texted her earlier when I heard the news. She said that the whole family thinks of her as a “legend.” And she was! My favorite is her role in Misery but she had so many memorable roles to choose from. R.I.P.

Re: Saltburn reviews

Yes it’s Talented Mr. Ripley meets Brideshead Revisited meets, oh I don’t know, the maze in The Shining ? But it’s more than a rip-off of any one of those and it is a heck of a lot of fun. I’m going to focus on the performances: Barry Keoghan completely goes there in this film, pushing his chameleon...

Re: All of Us Strangers reviews

I saw All of Us Strangers yesterday. This film is an absolute masterpiece. One of the most real and genuinely stunning depictions of loneliness, grief, love, and longing that has ever been put onto film. Bring a BOX of tissues. There are major plot points that occur in this film that are not even hi...

Someone on Twitter who I trust just saw The Color Purple and said that Danielle Brooks could become the frontrunner now for Best Supporting Actress.

Re: Killers of the Flower Moon reviews

There's a little bit of talk going around about how the "birth of the FBI" angle was minimized in the film. Did you find the movie that we ended up with lacking in any way? Or needing something like that? Refresh my memory, how did you feel about Scorsese's last handful of projects and ho...

Just to clarify. By 'over the top' you mean it makes a great film even better, not 'over the top' meaning 'overdone', yes?
Having also seen it, I’m pretty sure he means the former. It has a really great ending/coda.

flipp525 wrote Not to be a schoolmarm again but Ariana DeBose won just two years ago for West Side Story. Meant to write “not up for Best Picture.” Copy that.

Re: Killers of the Flower Moon reviews

Sabin, the “birth of the FBI” storyline (which, as I’ve gathered is a HUGE part of the book) is minimized in favor of telling the emotional story of this extended family and what happens to them. I felt like it was just the right amount of it and that Scorsese struck the right balance between the tw...

Re: R.I.P. Suzanne Sommers

I've seen Serial Mom but I don't remember her in it, beside which playing oneself is technically not acting. This is truly one of the dumbest things I think I’ve ever seen posted here. We’ll be sure to let John Malkovich know. You trotting this out instead of (yet again) just admitting that you wer...

Re: R.I.P. Burt Young

He worked pretty constantly, both in film and television. It's nice that he has an Academy Award to his credit. He's the kind of character actor who rarely gets a moment of recognition. I remember him being a pretty unexceptional coattail nomination but after rewatching the film recently he's still...

Re: Killers of the Flower Moon reviews

I attended a sneak preview of Killers of the Flower Moon tonight. Still processing as I literally just walked out, but this is a major work from Scorsese and included some interesting “surprises” that I won’t give away including some really greats cameos. Lily Gladstone is very much a borderline sup...
