Really loved Pitt in TOL, for the record. Wish he was in the running for lead actor in that to head off his boring "I'm Brad Pitt" perf in dor dumbedownball.

btw, minor awards are for such as the writer and director, since their function is merely to construct a tower so that the world can applaud a light which flashes on top of it.

Pitt is not uninteresting in Moneyball, just much less interesting than Billy Beane.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:19 (twelve years ago) link

Oh, somehow the Indie Spirit nominations snubbed Clooney in Descendants and Midnight in Paris for almost everything.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:20 (twelve years ago) link

well done, Indies!

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:21 (twelve years ago) link

ditto

When we get gay married, Alfred, I predict a happy 50 years of just reciting you know what.

There should be a new word for happiness!

Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:25 (twelve years ago) link

clearing a spot at the piano bar here for you two.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:26 (twelve years ago) link

Some snowy night, in front of the fire.

Never thought I'd be typing this, but:

Clooney acting > Pitt not acting

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:28 (twelve years ago) link

For Payne, Clooney close-ups are like fellatio.

Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link

NYFCC goes with Hazanavicius.

Louis C.K. Williams (jaymc), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link

I saw plenty of emoting about on-base percentage. xxp

I fully approve of John C Reilly's Spirit nomination for Cedar Rapids, probably the funniest performance of the year. Their doc category also had room for The Interrupters and General Butt Naked:

Word? I saw his name on the list and initially assumed the nomination was for Terri.

This is detrius thread's "blue moon" moment between you and me.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:36 (twelve years ago) link

you exaggerate!

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:37 (twelve years ago) link

we also agree on Pitt in ToL, for starters

Reilly was also the best thing in Terri and Carnage.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:39 (twelve years ago) link

And Tim and Eric.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:41 (twelve years ago) link

Can't make up my mind which one I'm going to hate more between The Artist or The Iron Lady.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:41 (twelve years ago) link

Oh wait, I'll hate A Dangerous Method more than either.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:42 (twelve years ago) link

that last is a weird addition. Pissed at Cronenberg for picking real horror over the funhouse kind?

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:42 (twelve years ago) link

re The Artist, I wonder how many Guy Maddin films Rex Reed has seen.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:46 (twelve years ago) link

Pissed at Cronenberg for making boring movies instead of ones worth watching.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:47 (twelve years ago) link

And NYFCC just served you up some karma for that one, bitch.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:47 (twelve years ago) link

Pissed at no tongue action between Fassbender and Viggo.

Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:48 (twelve years ago) link

Movie critics not knowing shit about baseball shockah. Also, what's your problem lately? xp

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:49 (twelve years ago) link

They have Animated and Cinematography yet to do...

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:50 (twelve years ago) link

Shortest pause ever in the Twitter feed to announced Lubezki for cinematography.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

That they're going to try to give something w/ Sorkin's name on it a screenplay award whenever possible is a sign of devolution from the Ben Hecht era.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:56 (twelve years ago) link

special cemetery award to Raul Ruiz, highlight of the day

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:12 (twelve years ago) link

Best Picture to The Artist

gukbe, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:12 (twelve years ago) link

Yep, it's official. I'm going to hate that one.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:12 (twelve years ago) link

me too, bitch

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:18 (twelve years ago) link

Well heil Hitler, bitch.

Harvey Weinstein's cache of NYFCC members' horsefucking photos have carried the day again!

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:33 (twelve years ago) link

Actually, the movie looks kinda cute for real.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:40 (twelve years ago) link

If it was between that and Moneyball, I'm guessing they chose correctly.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:40 (twelve years ago) link

It's no more special than the OSS movies, really.

Simon H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:49 (twelve years ago) link

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:51 (twelve years ago) link

UGH Bellflower, maybe the year's most repulsive

So you really do hate anything that excites 20- and 30-something straight male movie fans, huh.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:54 (twelve years ago) link

or, as Glenn Kenny called the star-director, misogynist closet cases.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link

Better just skip Drive imo.

Eric H., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link

If we still lived in a Roger Corman world, Bellflower would play drive-ins under the title Fuckin' Bitches, Man.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:58 (twelve years ago) link

I'll never understand how people watch Bellflower and take the woman-hating at face value.

Simon H., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 00:51 (twelve years ago) link

This was Armond's five for the S&S poll apparently:

Incendies
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Attack The Block
Paul
Film socialisme

Attack The Block tied for twelfth in the overall list

Number None, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 11:57 (twelve years ago) link

planning to see Incendies and Paul in the next 10 days...

I'll never understand how people watch Bellflower and take the woman-hating at face value.

It's arguably the kind of face value that's a secret to the filmmaker, like Tarantino's racism.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link

Had no idea Armond was so big on Incendies.

Simon H., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 15:36 (twelve years ago) link

well he doesn't like Georges Melies!

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 15:44 (twelve years ago) link

There's a little truth in:

Scorsese seems to be imitating the pixilated world of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, a vision of Paris’s cultural heart that was authentically marvelous in Amelie, City of Forgotten Children and last year’s wondrous, underappreciated Micmacs.

Aside from the implication that Amelie is anything other than excrement souffle.

Eric H., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 16:04 (twelve years ago) link

or that Micmacs was any good at all

gukbe, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 16:05 (twelve years ago) link

authentically marvelous

more confirmation that I loathe adverbs.

Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 16:07 (twelve years ago) link

Or that "pixilated" is a word choice.

Eric H., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
