With a couple of changes (moving Anora to your Tier 1 and Everything Everywhere... to your 4), I agree substantially with this assessment of the last 10 years. I've been watching the Oscars regularly for 35+ years, and though I know rationally that these awards are not any real let alone...

There will likely be a one-day 50% off everything sale next month (or possibly later this month) on their website.

That is an interesting take, but I don't think there is enough emphasis on the recording of female bodies in the film (limited, if I remember correctly to the sequences of the exercise show, as emphatically objectifying as they may be) to suggest this is a deliberate idea. Sure, portraits and...

I've seen half of the BP nominees for this year. Of the 136 movies nominated for Best Picture this century, I've seen 121. The Substance is easily among the five worst films of those 121. I guess that's not a popular opinion, but I'm at a loss as to what people find exceptional about it. To me...

Just noticed this thread this morning and got to work. That was an enjoyable couple of hours spent! And (because why not?) here's a sampler playlist. I selected track five to coincide with my birth month and to keep myself from spending all day agonizing over either representative or favorite...

No. Special Agent Dale Cooper is the best guy.

My theory is that Special Agent Dale "Buddhist" Cooper is fabled disappear-ee D.B. Cooper, and his evil tulpa Mr. C. is the Zodiac killer. Dougie is that guy in the gif Melt Face Molly posted.
