But somehow managed to avoid giving it best picture (CMBYN) or best picture runner-up (Florida Project). Whew, I guess?

FP snubbed :(
Also, I was going to see CMBYN today, but then it turned out I looked at the program the wrong way, and it's next month. So fuck that film.

It's frustrating how Cynthia Nixon isn't "in the conversation" at all.

mayyyybe the conversation is of little actual worth?

did we ever get runners-up/postmortem on NYFCC?

I just watched Beach Rats and thought it was gross, the denouement is so gratuitously depressing that I felt like I wanted to have a talk with Hittman and ask her why, exactly, she made this - were the stakes so high? Because it didn't feel like they were so that it would turn out that way. Aside from that it was not believable that that guy would have been hanging out with those other three for a start and certainly not believable that he'd rope those chumps into a violent act for the sake of a bag of weed.

she got some grief for appropriating some of the details of the death of a black gay man in NYC a few decades ago.
actually the four boys seemed like a plausible crew to me.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 December 2017 02:31 (six years ago) link
I'm surprised at that. they seemed like three guys that had somehow started hanging out with an art school bro since that look is what most of the art school boys in Glasgow seem to be striving for.
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Monday, 4 December 2017 02:48 (six years ago) link
he just seemed more model-beautiful than the other mooks (who were "street cast"). You know the lead actor is a Brit, right?
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 December 2017 02:51 (six years ago) link
i thought they were all good in it fwiw. the main guy was a good actor who was miscast imo.
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Monday, 4 December 2017 02:52 (six years ago) link
xp i only knew that from googling. his accent seemed good from this side.

Beach Rats disappointed me too because her last film -- which nailed the rhythms of courtship -- impressed me.

It's the people who've watched A Quiet Passion that deserve an award.

A Quiet Passion was the best film of 2016, but only award eligible this year.

Oh I do love it when we talk release date eligibility.

yes, Frederik doesn't get enough chances to be a supercilious dick.
The only rhythm of courtship that interests me is "Let's screw."
