Honestly, that mostly made me want to watch 13 Going On 30!
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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.

Thoughts on the Oscar nominations today: [link]
I still have a lot to see in general, but I'm almost done with the main nominations for Indie Spirits and have seen a lot of fantastic stuff. Current Top 20 for 2021:
The Power of the Dog
Petite Maman
C'mon C'mon
Pig
Shiva Baby
The Lost Daughter
Drive My Car
Swan Song
Red Rocket
The Last Duel
Plan B
I Care a Lot
Fear Street Part Three: 1666
No Sudden Move
The Novice
The Matrix Resurrections
Zola
Don't Look Up
Black Widow
Fear Street Part One: 1994
ETA: That's the Swan Song with Udo Kier, not Mahershala Ali, because there are two Oscar eligible films with the same name this year.

Huh. I’m used to not seeing about half the nominated movies, but I don’t even recognize the names of most of those. It’s probably because I haven’t been going to the theater much this past year, so I haven’t seen many previews.

A lot of the Indie Spirits just recently became accessible or aren't yet. This is a helpful compilation of where you can see various Oscars noms: [link]

I've only seen The Lost Daughter and Black Widow from that list. Several others are on my to watch list.

I liked it, but I found The Lost Daughter profoundly uncomfortable to watch. Black Widow just made me mad we didn't get a BW film years ago, though I suppose then we wouldn't have gotten Florence Pugh, who was far more fun than I expected her to be.
Tweeting out my wish list for the Oscar noms the night before, I realized that many (all?) of my favorites from last year are in some way about grief and loss. Make of that what you will.

I guess I should watch The Power of the Dog, then. It looks profoundly disturbing. The only one on the WHOLE LIST of nominations I have seen is tick tick BOOM, and I didn’t finish it. I will watch MacBeth and probably Encanto
I didn’t really ever love new movies like you guys- I prefer television, but I usually have seen a few!
The last year when I saw all the nominees was 1997. And I actually liked them all- Shine, The English Patient, Jerry McGuire????, Secrets and Lies, and Fargo. I imagine Fargo and Secrets and Lies still hold up, but Shine and The English Patient probably have problems. I do wish Naveen Andrews had become a big, big movie star.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So many movies I have not seen! I usually realize there's a lot I haven't seen at this point, but this year it is a whole new level of missing out. All I've seen from megan's list is Black Widow and Matrix Resurrections. Movies feel like too much of a time commitment lately, I dunno. I know I want to see Macbeth but I haven't felt like I could sit still for it.
