Re: Awards Season 2021
I'll post my predictions too; I've been following this year's race more than I had been since 2015. Best Picture: Drive My Car I'm not entirely confident that the Academy will give the Best Picture award to a film that's exclusively on a streaming service like CODA and TPOTD are. But I don't see the...

Re: They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?: New list for 2022 available!
Did Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close frequently appear in EOY lists? I don't remember seeing it anywhere but at the Oscars, so I'd like to know which other sources also listed it. Extremely Loud and Credibly Close made onto Pete Hammond's and James Berardinelli's year end lists, it's hard to f...

Re: They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?: New list for 2022 available!

2. The Demon’s Waltz (5239) This film, directed by one Ryan Callaway, is the highest-ranked film from 2021 on the Starting List. I have never heard of it before, and I suspect no one else here has, either. I looked it up, and it's an extremely micro-budgeted (and, apparently, aggressively pro-Chris...

Re: Songs with lyrics that aged poorly
Though I'm a little mixed on the Elvis Costello song, as he had called both Ray Charles and James Brown the N-word in the same year "Oliver's Army" was released. Kind of surprising that, given the current climate of dredging up every offensive thing every celebrity has ever done, that 197...
