I think someone actually posted the surprise in white-font here before.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Reading that article makes me feel like I missed something. Weird. I did feel bad telling a friend about it on the train the other day, because I didn't want to spoil innocent eavesdroppers.
Also related to that movie, I am tired of seeing movies that aren't R-rated. No one says "fuck" in a boxing gym? Uh-huh. Same thing with In Good Company -- I swear they re-looped "frigging" over a "fucking" in one scene. These are movies for adults! Go for the R! Fuck, man.

One hint: When was the last time Hilary Swank played a female character, people?!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Her character in The Core was a woman as well, though I can understand the vast majority of people not having seen it to know.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Re MDB (no actual spoilers) I went in knowing the "twist", and it made little difference to me, except that you pick up on certain hints of what's coming sooner. It's not a film where knowing the twist is going to ruin it, certainly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm cheered to see that prepping for the Oscars won't be a chore.

Up with the sun
I didn't see that many movies this year, so I can't say whether this is a good list or a bad one. It will be nice if Kate Winslet and Martiin Scorcese win, though.
Edit: X-post with ita.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Damn. I can't believe Paul Giamatti was left out of the Best Actor category when Thomas Haden Church and Virginia Madsen got nominated. Not that those two weren't good, but Giamatti's performance was even better. I guess they had a lot of strong contenders for the Best Actor statue this year. Of the flicks with noms for Best Actor, I've only seen Finding Neverland and Hotel Rwanda.
