BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: PARASITE

— Falco Ink (@Sidney_Falco) December 4, 2019

There will be a live reveal of the Film Comment poll at Lincoln Center next week. I would go, but when Parasite comes up #1 I would have to throw peaches at the stage.

I forgot they did that; they turned it into a podcast last year too.

how many critics have peach allergies, I wonder

I can see The Souvenir coming in second on FC

Peaches are delicious. Every time I think about watching a movie, I should do the sensible thing and eat a peach instead.

DARE to keep critics off peaches

FC poll usu top heavy w/ NYFF films, so I think Irishman and Marriage Story are top 5 certainties (possibly 2 and 3).

He's the best part of a film too damn sweet by half.

That's not AS leftfield as I was talking about, but glad for it anyway.

Everything was destined to be a comedown from them awarding Regina Hall last year.

BEST PICTURE: THE IRISHMAN #NYFCC

— Falco Ink (@Sidney_Falco) December 4, 2019

anticlimax

They're not on a terribly exciting streak of best picture winners, after Roma, Lady Bird (good tho that movie is) and La La Land.

i can't imagine an "exciting" winner (other than The Souvenir or Image Book) that wouldn't sicken me
