tbh this is one of the most consensus of years – I've seen the same movies pop up on everyone's lists.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 18:46 (six years ago) link
It happens every year. Every detrius thread charts the progression from "everything's on the table" to "so there really were only seven or eight movies released last year, eh?"

Not seeing The Other Side of Hope enough, or BPM high enough.
OK, after 5 minutes of searching the site, I'll bite: can one see the VV ballots/full results?
And did the Indiewire poll ever come iut?

Is there any reason to suspect that Dunkirk isn't exactly what I would expect from a WWII flick by Nolan (busy yet boring action scenes, a lot of portentous dialogue, moralism delivered with sledgehammer force)?
― Dangleballs and the Ballerina (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
it's better than his usual because it has almost no dialogue and the action scenes are crisp but it's like other Nolan films in that it has no reason to exist
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 20:54 (six years ago) link
The amount of dialogue is relatively spare. It's a somewhat unusual narrative skein, but yes a lot of (gen downbeat) war-movie tropes in a pretty package. xp
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 20:55 (six years ago) link
for those who saw dunkirk: does it forfeit its reason to be watched on a television; that is, should i have caught it in theaters or not at all?
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 20:56 (six years ago) link
this has probably been discussed ad infinitum but does anyone else think that the expanded best pic field has evaporated a lot of enthusiasm for the Academy Awards? or maybe it's something else? I recognize my own ambivalence in recent times vs previous decades but i'm sensing it elsewhere too. i don't know if the ratings reflect it, so i might be completely wrong, but i think some of the shine has been taken off.
― omar little, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 20:59 (six years ago) link
Yes.

Remember Hannah Arendt: "When all are guilty, none are."

Yeah, catch it in a theater if you can. It's been re-released to theaters where I live, which surprised me at first, but makes total sense. I hated it - we don't need any more WWII movies or any movies that depict war as anything but totally pointless and endlessly destructive - but it absolutely deserves the Best Cinematography Oscar. it's a beautiful looking movie. the sound is really good, too.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn)
this is so, so otm. although i enjoyed Interstellar a lot despite the fact that it made no fucking sense

It's the editing one that it really should have a lock on.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 21:36 (six years ago) link
I just had to look up the Best Editing category: Dunkirk; Baby Driver; The Shape of Water; I, Tonya; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. yeah I mean the only competition there really is Baby Driver.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 21:39 (six years ago) link
I'd say Dunkirk has both sound awards and editing and that's about it.
― "Minneapolis" (barf) (Eric H.), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 21:41 (six years ago) link
It should win everything, of course, except best soundtrack and, uhm, dialogue...
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 21:48 (six years ago) link
seeing Dunkirk in a theater with all the bells and whistles for $28, no thx

imax / 3d is a no; same for most "in advance" booking so no it's not perfect.i've seen a total of one 3-d imax film (gravity) and i'm okay never doing either ever again

"Not seeing The Other Side of Hope enough"
this had some very nice Ozu style colours and warmth, and the sushi scene was one of the funniest things I've seen all year.

Yeah, Dunkirk deserves tons of technical awardsShocked Ladybird isn’t up for best editing, it really was a huge part in telling the story

Man, six slams on Call Me By Your Name in a row...
― "Minneapolis" (barf) (Eric H.), Friday, 16 February 2018 15:11 (six years ago) link
But then, for Alfred, this:
“Many of this year’s best films (Dunkirk, Nocturama, BPM, The Beguiled) were about the power of collectivity. That’s sort of how The Florida Project starts out, but it eventually retrenches into a selfish world where families and finally individuals turn on one another, as if to imply that in the last analysis, there’s no helping the feral poor. And, when all else fails, go to Disney World.” —Michael Sicinski

ha, there's like two unqualifiedly positive comments in that whole page
― jmm, Friday, 16 February 2018 15:16 (six years ago) link
And they were both for the latest Gore Verbinski movie.
― "Minneapolis" (barf) (Eric H.), Friday, 16 February 2018 15:19 (six years ago) link
I liked CMBYN a lot and have my criticisms but every one of those comments reeks of smugness. No sex? No Italian vistas? Did they even watch the movie?
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 16 February 2018 15:30 (six years ago) link
Yeah, most of those comments were askew.
"Non-horror movies that act like horror movies" is my worst nightmare, honeybunch. ;)

With a side helping of "horror movies that act like horror movies."
How on earth do you take Nocturama to be about the power of collectivity?
