I mean, they don’t get THAT close. They have made progress but at the end, the AMPAS is an institution that wants to curate film history with an American centric, narrow minded take on what film is and what film can be.

Yeah, lots of mediocre to bad movies here.
I’m Wondering what everyone’s top ten would be. I feel like a lot of movies I liked that I’ve seen in the last year likely wouldn’t have gotten nominated: Drive my Car, Souvenirs part 2, Titane, Bendetta, Pig, Parallel Mothers, but Dune, Licorice Pizza, and Power of the Dog would be in for me (I haven’t seen WSS yet)

Here's my list in progress thus far... the top nn-something films of 2021 (according to me)
Man I haaaaated 'We're all going to the world's fair'. Saw it in a genre film festival in town and it was excruciating. I was excited for it too

Solid list!! I have a couple more to see before I finalize my top 20. I give myself until the end of January. Anything that comes out after counts as a movie from the next year. Why? Only cus i said so lol

I really, really need to see this. I get sad to think that the film musical seems to be relegated to animated films. I think we need more musical theater films with actual people, but they need to actually be good at singing (I'm looking at you, Russel Crowe in Les Mis).

Took me a long time to recognize that BvS was actually the most delightful subversion of the DC mythology. Weirdly, it’s too dark and sincere for audiences to take seriously?

Snyder brings a lot of visual panache but I've never been able to feel anything beneath the surface with his movies. He's a more sincere, reverent JJ Abrams, understanding the surface appeal of an object but seemingly incapable of engaging with it on any deeper level.
Though obviously you got something out of it, so maybe it's just over my head.

And Being the Ricardos was fine. I wouldn't says it's Best Picture worthy, but I don't understand the hate.
Maybe I just wanna watch reruns

No one made that claim. Relax. One man's trash, or whatever.
But if No Way Home is worse than Let There Be Carnage, I'll weep.
