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.
Actually, the studio and director made that decision, because the "comedy or musical" category has become a catch-all for any genre film, which helps the genre films not go up against big dramas like Dunkirk.
The year The Martian was released, it was nominated as a comedy or musical, and it won.
I could almost buy The Martian as a musical.

Yeah, that's annoying and weird. You might as well call the categories "Oscar Movies" and "Golden Globe Movies."
"Movies Made To Make Big Bucks"
Ah. That makes a weird sort of sense, I guess.
I've heard Jordan Peele joke, in an interview, that as far as he's concerned it's a documentary.
Finally saw The Florida Project and loved it, as predicted. (I also really liked Baker's Tangerine from 2015.) I think it will be near the top of my 2017 list, but I feel like my list changes with every movie I see.
Also caught A Ghost Story on DVD (which I did not expect to like at all but really did). Very poetic.
I'm not gonna be able to see The Last Jedi until Saturday evening and... all the excitement and positive reactions on twitter are killing me a little. Either I get off the internet entirely for 2 days, or I might cave and go to a late showing on Thursday, nevermind I have a 8 am meeting on Friday.
I am seeing The Last Jedi on Saturday AND Sunday. The family had purchased tickets for Sunday a ways back. And then Denver Comic Con is having a private showing for the leadership team and we each got a plus one. I'm taking my future-son-in-law. I'm so excited!!!
I have to balance my desire to see The Last Jedi on my own time, and the desire to avoid spoilers.
I'm with Scola.
