NY crix, having wrapped crix screenings of crix films for the end of crix season (and not keen on screeners of hoi polloi faves such as The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in their mailboxes), say October 18th is early enough.

The Kid with a Bike
The Deep Blue Sea
Damsels in Distress
Cosmopolis
Oslo, August 31st

Bernie, gtfo.

I haven't seen any of those other Goth nominees aside from Moonrise Kingdom. Thure Lindhardt got mentioned for Keep the Lights On, tho. Not gonna sweat it this year while I'm recuperating.

In the Family is last year by NY standards.

watching KTLO this week.

y'all suck at giving me my opinions and making me feel better about only seeing two movies this year

can someone just say "they all sucked", i'll believe you

Living in Denmark, almost every worthwhile picture of 2012 will first be in cinemas in 2013. My list is pretty simple:

1. Moonrise Kingdom
2. The Dark Knight Rises

Actually, that's not true, Holy Motors premieres in a month. That will probably make my top three as well.

The five films nominated in IDA’s Best Feature category include The Central Park Five (Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon), The Invisible War (Kirby Dick), The Queen of Versailles (Lauren Greenfield), Searching for Sugar Man (Malik Bendjelloul), and Women With Cows (Peter Gerdehag).

http://www.documentary.org/news/nominees-host-announced-28th-annual-ida-documentary-awards

I've seen only one of those: Searching for Sugar Man, which is kind of like a respectable, non-comedic variation on the Anvil! story.

have seen none, most interested in Tabu

Barbara is a semi-interesting sounding German film that got dece reviews when it opened in Britain a few weeks ago

Rust and Bone is a new romantic drama from Jacques Audiard, who made The Prophet

year-end cheat sheet, tho I'm skipping plenty

http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/best-movies-of-2012-shortlist

Huh, I'm not actually doing all that bad this year so far.

Also hadn't realized the Nuri Bilge Ceylan was streaming. That explains the influx of new ratings on Letterboxd.

i've been v assiduous about not learning what Lboxd is.

i think it's basically yelp for movie geeks? (sorry)

Maybe a tad premature, but ... worst year for movies ever?

American, always w/ every succeeding year...

i dont think i saw enough movies this year :(

lol I saw 5 movies

I've seen exactly two 2012 movies so far--Chronicle (very good!) and Payback (meh)--and neither were on the list!

Don't go to the theatres much and end up catching most new releases a year or two after the fact. From this list, though, here's all that I definitely want to see (though I'm open to being convinced on others):

"Argo," directed by Ben Affleck (Theaters)
"How to Survive a Plague," directed by David France (Theaters -- also on VOD)
"Keep the Lights On," directed by Ira Sachs (Theaters)
"The Loneliest Planet," directed by Julia Loktev (Theaters -- also on VOD)
"Looper," directed by Rian Johnson (Theaters)
"The Master," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (Theaters)
"Searching For Sugar Man," directed by Malik Bendjelloul (Theaters)
"Skyfall," directed by Sam Mendes (Theaters)
"Beasts of the Southern Wild," directed by Benh Zeitlin (Buy It, starting 12/4)
"Brave," directed by Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman, and Steve Purcell (Buy It, starting 11/13)
"Moonrise Kingdom," directed by Wes Anderson (Rent It)
"Bernie," directed by Richard Linklater (Watch It)
"I Wish," directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda (Watch It)
"Oslo, August 31st," directed by Joachim Trier (Watch It)

get on Oslo ASAP imo

Bernie sucks.

get on Oslo ASAP imo

It's rentable on iTunes, but I'm gonna give the liberry another month or so to get it before I go ahead and use some of my few remaining iTunes credit bucks on it.

get on Oslo ASAP imo

was oslo not 2011?

Not in the US.

I increasingly believe that diff films coming out in diff years in diff places is an excellent reason not to do any goddamn EOY lists.

Not so long as you're not OCD about overall tallies, imo.

you just hate fun, morbs

Admittedly, not living in NY takes some of the pressure off to keep release years kosher.

Look at the release pattern, if that word even applies, for the entirely "accessible" Argentine film Las Acacias. Where did this 'limited' US releaase take place? It only showed in NY at MoMA during the New Directors/New Films fest.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1754078/releaseinfo

^on tonight on film 4 iirc, for any UK ilxors

is it good

i like it

yes, there's a R2 DVD already and everything.

Hey guys. No reason to fret any more. EW's latest issue has a graphic that boils down best actor to Day-Lewis vs. Hawkes, actress to Lawrence vs. Watts, supporting actress to Hathaway vs. Hunt and picture to Argo vs. Life of Pi.

I guess only supporting actor has more than two candidates anymore.

close thread?

i'm so appalled that a mainstream magazine isn't dedicating at least 4 pages of detailed speculation two months ahead of the actual nomination announcement

Ooh wait! Not so fast!

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/11/16/oscar-race-prize-fighter-lincoln-argo-silver-linings-life-of-pi/

Argo is a sure-fire nominee, but Warner Bros. has to walk the line between maintaining its support and not wearing out its welcome. It’s easier for a film like The Artist to cling to front-runner status in a year when there isn’t a lot of major competition, but Argo will face an especially strong line-up of heavy-hitter challengers.

http://oi52.tinypic.com/2n1rfq9.jpg

If there's one thing I remember about last year, it's definitely how there weren't any movies that were even remotely in the same league as The Artist. I don't think anything else was even nominated, come to think of it.

Most Number of Clichés in Fifty Words or Less

as your cinema diet made clear.

the NYT site has this Sunday's Dargis/Scott dialogue about "identifying an Obama Cinema." No, I am not reading that.

pfft Anna Karenina wasn't unwatchable.

Armond White fans can listen to him explain how Ghost Rider 2 tackles the theme of vengeance more responsibly than Zero Dark Thirty, amongst other things, here:

http://www.slashfilm.com/the-filmcast-after-dark-ep-214-armond-white-on-django-unchained-and-zero-dark-thirty/

Actually don't think I've heard his voice until now.

you gotta see him work a Q&A sometime.

French thriller Sleepless Night is a keeper, btw.

Is that the one that has Beatrice Dalle and goes by the title Domaine?

nope. This was shot by Tom Stern, Eastwood's cinematographer, and I prefer it to Deakins doing 007.

http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/sleepless-night/6201

Not a fan.

Well, Argo is power playing the guilds. I guess that means there's going to be a picture/director split at the Oscars this year.

Enhanced interrogation for "Argo" voters. If you like jingoism so much, let's see if you can take it.

xpost

Nah, Lincoln was made to sweep the Oscars.

nope, too much smart talk.

but again you acknowledge that this thread is just an Oscar preview, so i'll be boycotting it in the future.

No you won't.

Cesar nominations

"Ben Affleck’s Argo will be the only American film to compete in the best foreign film category, against Michael R. Roskam’s Bullhead (Belgium), Xavier Dolan’s Laurence Anyways (Canada), Joachim Trier’s Oslo, August 31st (Norway), Ken Loach’s The Angel’s Share (Scotland), Joachim Lafosse’s Our Children (Belgium), and Nikolaj Arcel’s A Royal Affair (Denmark)."

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/frances-cesar-awards-nominations-announced-415315

Oslo getting love. Good job, Cesars.

I'm having fun brainstorming what Xavier Dolan will have to do to get nominated for an [redacted].

u naughty man

xpost

Set one of his films in Africa or the Middle East?

Well, yeah, if he wants to compete for live action short.

I have a different award in mind than cryptosicko and possibly Eric

Oh no, I want him to at least get nominated for that one too.

I'm lost; does this award start with a "gr" (and isn't for music)?

whatever award Dirk Diggler won.

GayVN

btw re DGA to Affleck, wtf is wrong with people?

Somewhat related:

Mark Harris ‏@MarkHarrisNYC
Biggest change in Oscar coverage I've seen over 20 years: At least half of it has shifted from advocacy of movies to advocacy of campaigns.

so, politics

Deakins wins ASC for Skyfall

That's like his 9th ASC award; Oscar aren't going to give it to him until he shoots 3-D.

Another year for Snidey McSnides to snipe that MTV had better taste than Oscars/GGs/crixes, et al.

phew i can finally draw a line under 2012 thanks mtv

Also what trails has Emma Watson blazed?

I suspect that this is what a list of "MTV Movie Awards" winners *should* look like, but I've never felt more my age than I have just now.

LOL, I didn't even realize every single LOTR movie won. Twilight came up one half-movie short.
