That may be a question of one character in an otherwise good movie versus an entire shitty movie.

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.

Oh I love the movie, no argument, but whenever anyone mentions racism in movies it's the iconic performance that springs immediately to mind for me.

It's actually worth reading at least the first comment to that, because it features an Egyptian getting testy about the (otherwise hilarious) post's wrongness about, well, Egypt and the Egyptian people.

What is your favorite film from the last year that was not nominated for any Oscar?

Hey. New board.
I only saw a few movies from the last year. (kids) Mostly big ones. So... Ant Man I guess? I don't really know what was nominated for the technical awards. It wasn't really a mindblowing year for me in any way.

Probably Jurassic World though I think it's an outrage Crimson Peak wasn't nominated for Costume Design, Production Design, or Makeup & Hairstyling.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I floved Spy - wasn't expecting it to be nominated for anything, but it was one of the most fun times I had in theater last year.
Was gonna say Sicario but I see that it got a nod for cinematographer and a couple of other technical award noms. When the nominations came out, I was legit surprised that Emily Blunt and Benecio del Toro didn't get nominated. I thought they were dynamite.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know that I loved anything I saw in the first half of the year, and they are all nominees, I think.
I just saw Deadpool, which was GREAT.

I do have one quibble: In the laundromat, when Al said to use lemon juice and whatever to get blood out. Doesn't every woman know you use hydrogen peroxide???
