Bottom-feeding film aficionado and awards prognosticator. And for the record, my profile pic was taken the moment David Fincher lost to Tom Hooper.

@TheCinesthetic I believe United 93 is the best film of the 21st century.

What is a movie you will defend forever, even if most people do not get it?
English
@Lonkblonk_ @CovertheCorner The WS was the worst loss by far, but the Guards have faced (and lost to) the Yanks 4 times in the last 10 years. I’d take a ring, but someday beating NY in a series again will feel nearly just as good.

@edgeoftheframe @CovertheCorner Cubs fit way better than the Yankees. The LCS loss was rough but I don’t think we’ll get another comparison until we get another World Series loss

Yankees
White Sox
Cubs

This guy got the rules right. Yankees (given), Tigers, and Cubs

@TheCinesthetic Gary Oldman in The Contender. Best performance of his career and that’s saying something.
English
What’s a 10/10 movie performance that rarely gets mentioned in “greatest ever” discussions?
English
I need a movie that will absolutely destroy me emotionally, like ugly crying, can't breathe type. Any suggestions..
English
@cinemashawn3 While Fellini, Bergman and Kurosawa are among my top 10 directors, I haven’t seen a single Tarkovsky movie.
English
@puremaureen I don’t really know what’s more disturbing. The fact that these parents were perfectly fine letting a little boy die just so that the heart could sit in a box and rot, or the amount of people in the comments cheering it on.
English
They took the kid's organs for another kid's transplant without the consent of the parents.
That's weird

You only get one film to prove your cinematic taste is excellent, what’s your pick?
English
@vivalarevolz None. But his body of work is so tight I’d almost say Todd Field. In the Bedroom is immaculate. TAR is close. Little Children has some flaws, but still a 4.5. Guy is an unsung god of cinema.
English
@edwardbrgr I’d go further as to say he hasn’t made a good movie since Brokeback. His win in 2012 befuddles me.
English
Unfortunately, Ang Lee
Hasn't had a good movie since Life Of Pi. His last film, Gemini Man, was honestly an embarrassment, a complete misfire and a massive miscalculation from pretty much everyone involved.

Which director do you think has totally lost his touch with age?
English
@wmsmediaonx All time, the answer is Federico Fellini. Still working, definitely Ridley Scott.

@hendrixnroses Bugonia
Fantastic Mr Fox
The Witch (by far the hardest to pick)
Pans Labyrinth
Boyhood

@TheCinesthetic Just rewatched this a few weeks ago. Insane that the original ending had both asteroids hit and a 10 minute montage of humans going extinct. But test audiences were so upset they had to reshoot it.
English
DEEP IMPACT was released 28 years ago today.
Released just weeks before Armageddon, the film approached the asteroid-disaster concept very differently, leaning into realism while Armageddon embraced larger-than-life action spectacle.

@mrbrianrowe Notes on a Scandal, followed by underrated work in Philomena.

What’s your favorite of Judi Dench’s eight Oscar nominations?
English
@mrbrianrowe Very much The Help. Never thought I’d be pissed about Meryl winning an Oscar. Ironically, if Meryl had (rightfully) won for Doubt, this path would have been cleared.
English
What’s your favorite of Viola Davis’ four Oscar nominations?
English
@OleTimeHardball Henderson’s runs scored is the only one that’s even remotely attainable. It still won’t happen, but at least it’s not impossible.

What’s the most unbreakable MLB career record?
