Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Stylus' Alternative Oscar Picks
Some very interesting picks.
For example, in Best Supporting Actor:
Steve Carell (Little Miss Sunshine)
During the more implausible scenarios in Little Miss Sunshine—a teenager takes a vow of silence to honor Nietzsche, an ex-lover who should be safely tucked away at Yale turns up in a remote gas station, a hospital loses a corpse—Uncle Frank raises his eyebrows in bemusement. Then, without fail, he accepts his bizarre circumstances. The man is an outsider to his dysfunctional family, silently and hilariously commenting on the action with every line of his face. Steve Carrell brings a welcome injection of irony to an absurdist comedy. Just before the suicidal scholar schtick gets old, he unleashes the Frat Pack comedy and joins the zaniness, shuffling birdlike into glass doors with his shoulders shrugged to the sky. [L. Michael Foote]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Skimming through that list I didn't feel much urge to read more deeply on any of the nominees with whom I wasn't already familiar, just because nominating Jack Nicholson was a credibility killer for me. Even more than nominating SBC.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How Jack Nicholson avoids self-parody in Martin Scorsese’s brilliant return to form defies modern science.
Uh, really? Okay.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Steve Carrell blew me away in LMS. I went in fully expecting to be put off by him, but instead I was completely interested and invested in his character. He put such depth and unspoken pain and ache into the characterisation that I felt every inch of what he was going through. Carrell really impressed me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Me too, SA.

From a few days ago:
Will Fonebone be able to enjoy the satisfaction of turning in a vitriolic review?
(Note that the editors accidentally broke up the first paragraph, which makes the hidden message not work. So treat the first two paragraphs as one until they fix it if you feel like decoding it - ...which I do recommend. [eta: They fixed it!])
