Re: Ad Astra (2019)

Mostly looking forward to Ad Astra because of Hoyte's involvement. I've seen all of his films so can't stop now.

Re: Wages of Fear (1953)

Wages of Fear (1953)

Curious what are your thoughts on the film and Clouzot's use of suspense (before or after seeing Dunkirk)? If you're in the NYC area, you're i...

Re: All the Money in the World (2017)

I'm glad these conversations are happening in all sorts of spaces. I remember a few months back I didn't post much because I was annoyed at the amount of sexist comments/posts happening on the forum towards young women. I didn't get it, I'm no Harry Styles fan but I digress. Anyway the point is I di...

Re: Interstellar's Soundtrack

^ Truth. Thanks for sharing that link!

I have a big place in my heart for Hans. Had a great time being super nerdy and listening to the Interstellar soundtrack while I drove to Skaftafell during my trip in Iceland last year. He really captures the landscape and feeling of the film so well.

Re: 2017-2018 Awards Season

I'm happy to see Timothee Chalamet being nominated for several awards, including Bafta. I remember seeing him in Interstellar and thinking that kid is going places. Chris is amazing at spotting young talent :) He was excellent in Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird. Spotted him in Hostiles with Chris...

Re: 2017-2018 Awards Season

Portman was baked af Also I'm all for more women directors in the industry but a director shouldn't get nominated simply because she's a woman and that was clearly the opinion people were having at the ceremony. I'd rather be nominated for being one of the best directors rather than getting handed ...
