The rest of the Film Comment top 50 is now posted and the Boyhood/Social Network skew is definitely a minority bloc.

I got the issue; as usu, the individual lists are more interesting.
Both Molly Haskell and Hoberman have Charlie Says and OUaTiHollywood in their top tens of '19.

Per Letterboxd, my most watched filmmaker of 2019 was Abel Ferrara; most watched actor, Doris Day. (Respectively due to MoMA retrospective and death.)

I just saw Transit again, almost a year to the day of my first screening. My heart was in my throat. How quickly the times line up with our aesthetic preferences.

I do enough to vote him as a finalist in the Florida Film Critics Award for Best Actor, and, yeah, he's cute in a whey-faced Joaquin Phoenix way.

I missed, for reasons too stupid to go into here, a crucial plot point in Transit and was therefore completely baffled by it and had no idea what was happening. I still enjoyed it though.

Parasite winning best cast at SAGs tonight was embarrassingly thrilling. If it can win the top award at SAG (especially with the AFTRA inclusion), maybe it's got the best picture Oscar in the bag?
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Monday, 20 January 2020 03:42 (six years ago)
Oscars? What're those?
Just got back from Little Women and can't remotely see how that's not the best cast. I mean, Jayne Houdyshell and Tracy Letts are great in it.

Best part of SAG awards: Superhero clip montage (featuring cash-in roles SAG doesn't take seriously enough for awards) & without a single ZSnyder film--yet scored to the Man of Steel soundtrack.

PGA and DGA both confirm that this year was about 1917 all along.

Jojo's screenplay is Adapted from my nightmares iirc
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 3 February 2020 18:14 (six years ago)
My main glitches with Jojo is that I think the whole Wes Anderson look is a little played and the trailer/marketing really kneecapped it. Its conceit isn't as affecting/smart as, say, Transit, but I think for a middlebrow movie that tackled a serious thing, it looks great and is funny and is emotional without being bathetic. Taika is phenomenal in it!

I don't have anything against the guy but the whole thing struck me as profoundly stupid and often offensive, not out of malice but ignorance & naivete. of course a holocaust/nazi comedy can be made, but the movie had the stale fake woke posturing of a Sprite commercial. imo
