Jesus, Now, Forager was Gotham-nominated for director?!

i have never even heard of the "gotham awards" what is that

Dark Knight Rises not getting anything is like the ultimate snub there

lol

The limit for an indie budget is supposed to be $20 million according to the Spirit Awards rules (although it's at the committee's discretion).

Variety: Movies still too damn long
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118062671
The data also shows that length is more of a turn-off for younger moviegoers. That may be a silver lining (both puns intended) for this year's crop of Oscar wannabes, every single one of which eclipses two hours -- except "Argo," which uses each of its 120 minutes to good effect.

no one has really figured out what the Gothams are

Alfred, I ended up being as into Loneliest Planet as I was into Day Night Day Night. I'm a soft touch when it comes to clinical studies of human behavior that seem directed by someone not human.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 15:35 (eleven years ago) link
isn't Day Night Day Night 6 years old? I think I saw it but can't be sure.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 15:37 (eleven years ago) link
The Gothams seem like the East Coast version of the Indie Spirits -- but I have no idea what the eligibility requirements are.
― Sax Blatterday (jaymc), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 15:37 (eleven years ago) link
Neither GGB and the chick were human exactly.

No, they were hetero.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 15:39 (eleven years ago) link
I have no idea what the eligibility requirements are
Apparently, budgets under $20M aren't one of them.
Star Wars '77 cost $10M
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 15:41 (eleven years ago) link
And looks it today.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 15:43 (eleven years ago) link
LOL Magic Mike is an indie.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:29 (eleven years ago) link
(In order that Matty McC could be nominated for both lead and supporting, I guess.)
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:32 (eleven years ago) link
it was pretty low-budget! and WB did not produce it.

Feel like a Spirit nod was inevitable for Dowd, but happy to see it nonetheless.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:40 (eleven years ago) link
Willis over Ed Norton in Moonrise is incorrect.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:43 (eleven years ago) link
I missed the brief NY run of Middle of Nowhere, hope they get to mailing.
Willis is great in MK.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
Silver Linings christ
― Gukbe, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I would pick Willis over Norton (and both well over Murray).
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
Beasts of the Southern Wild meant nothing to me.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
Willis is the only person I remember from MK.
Detrius brings out the utter nihilist in you, huh.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:53 (eleven years ago) link
detrius brings out the Stalinist in me.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:54 (eleven years ago) link
other actresses to ponder at year-end:
Rachel Weisz, The Deep Blue SeaCarlen Altman, The Colr Wheel
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
Weisz definitely. The Deep Blue Sea looks like it might get stepped on (too early in the year?)
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:56 (eleven years ago) link
andAriane Lebed, Attenberg
I just don't think T.Davies is up-to-date enough for the cool kids, or fusty enough for the oldsters (sex and suicide, etc).
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
Weisz would probably get my vote. Winstead was good too.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
They've sent screeners, so if it gets snubbed, it's critics' fault. (Or, you know, the movie's.)
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
Hopefully everyone gets over Krazy Katniss as frontrunner by default.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
Intrigued by Wendell Pierce nod. Anyone seen that one?
― Simon H., Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:01 (eleven years ago) link
No, but he had an odd cameo in Breaking Dawn, Part 2.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:04 (eleven years ago) link
I imagine Riva and Trintignant will factor in if any critics prizes go to Amour.... fascinating considering their most noted career films came over 50 years ago. (I guess you could argue for The Conformist over Marienbad)
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:07 (eleven years ago) link
kinda feel it's too soon for me to try Killer Joe as a hide-yr-eyes film. (havent quite gotten over The Killer Inside Me 2 years ago)
what's the fuckin' deal with Bernie? it just doesn't work.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:09 (eleven years ago) link
Think the gravy train ends for Bernie pretty soon here.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:13 (eleven years ago) link
The Guffman-esque aspect of Bernie made me want to like it, and I do think Black's performance is good, but I'm not sure it really adds up to much.
― Sax Blatterday (jaymc), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:14 (eleven years ago) link
Black's performance sunk it for me; couldn't buy the reality of the situation.
The Spirit shoestring category...

variety otm
if a movie is over 2 hours you have to earn every fucking extra minute
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
for comedies, that goes after 90 minutes
every movie these days is so fucking unnecessarily long... remember judd apatow's 2.5 hour movie FUNNY PEOPLE... jesus christ
some are sure, but DON'T go to fucking Apatowshit

anticomedy bias v disappointing in you, grasshopper.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 19:29 (eleven years ago) link
Completely agree. He was more muted and refined than usual but he was still himself. I could get past it.
