Another great one I came to understand is an Argentine movie called Made in Argentina

Nothing from India seems like an oversight

Free Solo is indeed pretty great.

I was shocked to learn that Alex is still with that insufferable girlfriend.

Black Kklansman and Blindspotting are like distant cousins and both are very entertaining, very poignant, and very on point.

The awards have become more about virtue signaling than rewarding cinematic excellence.

the one thing the GG has been good for over the last few years is TV
also been better at giving props to comedy which the Academy shuns
I would never actually watch the shows, but I like reviewing the noms and seeing who wins

the best thing about A Star is Born is Andrew Dice Clay's performance as the Gaga character's dad

The Favourite is fun. Creed 2 is about what you'd expect.

I retract my statement from October regarding Halloween being the most fun I've had in a theater this year. That award goes to Sorry To Bother You. Wish more people had caught it.

I really hated that movie, it annoyed the fuck out of me. It was like it was trying way too hard to be weird. For a really great 2018 movie set in Oakland with a young black lead, see Blindspotting, not this one.
