1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live-Action Movie Liveblog

HERE WE GO BABES TURTLE TIME!!!!!!!!!!! Secret of the Ooze is iconic to me so I have high expectations here.

Starting with some city shots, good start- THAT LADY'S COAT I LOVE IT

Is that April? Different actress than in Secret if so

PICKPOCKETING AND PASSING IT ALONG A SECRET NETWORK HELL YEAH- omg that kid is in The Foot? But he looks like a nerd

THEY STOLE THE ENTIRE DAMN TRUCK IN LIKE 5 SECOND LOL

THEY STOLE HER FUCKING TV PFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

There they are, the foot costumes, iconic.

DIGGING the music of this- WHOA SECRET LAIR all of these boys look like Cameron from Ferris Buller's Day Off but like, with different hair colors.

Why'd she make a Ghostbusters joke? They... don't solve robberies?

IT IS APRIL AN SHE'S WITH A DIFFERENT CHANNEL WHAT SHE'S WITH CHANNEL 3????????????

Would a New Yorker actually get that scared of a rat? I have my doubts.

GOD I love sound in 90's movies it so click-clacky

FUCK THEY ATTACKED HER- YEAHHHHHHHHHHH A SAIIIIIIIIIII YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

MY BOYS SAVED HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR HI LIL' RAPH PEEKIN' OUT FROM THE GRATE HEY BUDDY

She grabbed the sai by the blade- HE CURSED RIGHT OFF THE BAT HELL YEAH

GROOVIN' MUSIC BABEY WHOO I AM HYPED SHOW ME THEM RUBBER COSTUMED YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH UNCHANGED LOGO FROM THE '87 CARTOON

HEY THIS DONNIE ALSO SHOUTS RANDOM WORDS AS CATHPRASES HE AND RISE COULD BOND OVER THAT

These costumes look super good considering like, what they are. Can the actors see out of those? They're moving so well and those suits must be thick as hell- WAIT RAPH'S VOICE IS WAY LESS DEEP AND RASPY THAN IN SECRET BASED ON THESE COUPLE LINES

You can really tell Jim Henson was involved in the suits once Splinter shows up, like "Oh yeah mmm-hmm he wouldn't even seem out of place in Dark Crystal."

AH THERE'S THE RAPH VOICE I KNOW AND LOVE

PFFFFFFFFFT RANDOM FIGHT WITH DONNIE- ANGY DONNIE

Reaching their pea- Splinter they're 16 and Mikey is ordering pizza instead of listening to you.

PFFFFFFFFFFFT HE LITERALLY THREW THE BOOK AT HIM AND MIKEY JUST THREATENED THE PIZZA GUY LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

One day you'll be gone but not in this damn era JUST 2012 GOTTA DEAL WITH THAT SHIT AT LEAST OUT OF THE TURTLES WHO WERE ON SCRE- wait nevermind I just remembered that Splinter bites it in The Next Mutation. That's- hmm. Well it doesn't count because that show was Bad.

DONNIE MIKEY SWEETHEARTS NO NOT THE TIME FOR A DANCE PARTY but again something 90's Donnie and Rise Donnie have in common

SERIOUSLY CAN THE ACTORS SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING- AWWWWWWWWWW LEO'S LITTLE DANCEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOOK AT HIS LITTLE DANCEEEEEEEEEEEE AWWWWWW DONNIE AND MIKEY IN THE BACKGROUND AWWWWWWWWWWWWW THEY'RE ADORABLEEEEEEEEEEE

Also just- Raph said aloud he's going to a movie and not only did Leo not mind, Splinter didn't care either

I much prefer the voice Donnie has in Secret but this one isn't bad.

I'M SORRY ONLY $10 FOR A WHOLE DAMN PIZZA?????? OH MY- DUDE I HATE CAPITALISM

Poor Splinter lol- OH MY GOD RAPH ACTUALLY WENT TO A MOVIE AND NO-ONE SAID A FUCKING WORD??????? HE FOR REAL WENT TO A MOVIE??????? I LOVE HIM

Ah it's Casey. You better be better than Out of the Shadows Casey. I actually just rewatched both Bayverse movies today for the first time in years and really enjoyed them for the most part except for 3 things. 1) The Megan Fox sexualization because I know it was Bay being creepy 2) Will Arnett's character didn't need to be here. Give most of his scenes/moments to April. 3) Fucking CW Arrow Casey Jones

Okay he's got more charm to him already, I remember him being sexist though

RAPH LET HIM BEAT THEIR ASSES- LOOK THEY GOT AWAY NOW

Did Raph just... insult his baseball team? Fascinating. I'll never be able to accurately write 90's turtles if this is the stuff they're saying. But I'll try.

Casey is... phenomenally unphased by the mutant turtle.

THIS IS SO GOOFYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT fuck man how many sport tools does Casey have- HE SENT RAPH FUCKIN' FLYINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RAPH IS STUCK IN THE TRASH OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'LL KILL HIM FOR YOU RAPH SWEETIE OH YOU GOT HIT BY A CAR NO THIS ISN'T YOUR NIGHT I'M SO SORRY BABY

PFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT CAB DRIVER: UNPHASED

Damn he really loves the word "Damn".

Splinter now's not the time for a lecture he was hit by a car

Man. So every Splinter's just kinda been really unequipped to handle Raph's anger issues, huh? AWWWWWWWWWWW BUT HE'S TRYING HE'S HERE FOR HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMM AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Oh damn April's boss is one of the Foot Kids.

FUCK UP THE POLICE WITH YOUR REPORTING APRIL I BELIEVE IN YOU oh no she's making "Speak English smart-man" jokes

NOT AGAIN NOT MORE MIKEY HAVING A CRUSH ON THE MUCH-OLDER APRIL I HAD ENOUGH OF THAT WITH BAYVERSE

NO THEY'RE ALL SAYING IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OH THE CHIEF IS OPENLY RACIST OKAY WELL ACCURATE TO IRL I GUESS BUT SURPRISING TO SEE- RAPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY ARE YOU OUT IN THE DAYTIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HONEY YOU'RE ASKING FOR TROUBLE

Oh she's alone in the Subway? FOOT BITCHES OH NO Sony payments? Wh- what? What were the 90's?

This April is a lot more feisty than Secret April, I think I like this one more so far. Foot Guy slapped her and she decided "Oh Imma have to kick your entire ass now" and maybe it's an unrealistic goal but I'm proud of her

Yeah she was knocked out instantly RAPH TO THE RESCUEEEEEEEEEEEE

RAPH MY BELOVED I CAN'T THINK OF A SINGLE BAD VERSION OF YOU oh but you are for sure being followed baby, you are for sure being followed

RAPH WAS JUST WORRIED ABOUT HER- Pffffft "I wanted to redecorate! You know, a couple throw pillows, a TV news reporter!" I love him.

Mikey no (cool to note though that it seems like 2003 Mikey's "Can we keep her?" line was a reference to this movie)

Ah not a. Not a good thing to wake up to. Reasonable response I think, to scream a lot. Though I do like that in 2012 they kept it nice and short to one scream and then almost-trust, and in Rise they said "Fuck it" and skipped the whole thing.

Yeah this April has way more personality than Secret Apri- PFFFFFFFFFFT "WHY DON'T I EVER DREAM OF HARRISON FORD"

THEM TURTLE BITCHES ARE MEANT TO BE 15??????????????

Oh yeah this one was Yoshi's pet, not Yoshi himself. PFFFFFFFFFT HE HAPPENED UPON THEM BY ACCIDENT

Splinter that. That is clearly not glowing.

OH FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOO WORST TURTLE TOTS DESIGNS EVER NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO BAD

Oh but they're all so cute as teens though, they look more like tots now than those bad actual-tots did.

Oh no that was a good joke whoever said that- Mikey I think? That was a good one.

SHIT HE POPPED OUT OF THERE LIKE MARIO

Mikey good joke baby I am so sorry she's not appreciating these- oh no celebrity impressions. Love that Raph is irritated by it, good exasperated brother moment.

SHE ALREADY LOVES THEM AND I GET IT THEY'RE ALL ADORABLE LIL' GUYS wait what was that face

OH SHIT THEIR HOUSE GOT BROKEN INTO FUCK IT'S TRASHED I guess this is why they have to find a new one in Secret- oh god Donnie dropped to his fucking knees THIS TONAL SHIFT IS WILD HOLY SHIT HOL SHIT THIS TONAL SHIFT RAPH'S FUCKING SCREAM

Oh ew why'd Leo say that like that. That was the creepiest way he could have said Splinter's name.

What a wild day for April. Why the HELL is her boss visiting her HOUSE

So is he trying to cover up his son's involvement?

IS HE CHECKING UNDER THE TAB- KID WHAT

WAS THAT LIKE 11 YEAR OLD SMOKING A FUCKING CIGAR

HOLY SHIT THE FOOT HIDEOUT IS WAY COOLDER THAN 2012 ND RISE THIS PLACE IS POPPIN' LIEK IT'S GIVING ALCOHOL AND CIGARS TO PRETEENS WHICH IS WACK AND BAD BUT IT'S A FUCKIN' PARTY HOUSE DUDE

Ah but then we find the child fighting ring

HEY THAT WAS A DIRTY MOVE TATSU FUCK YOU THAT KID WAS BEIN' RESPECTFUL

Oh the GONG is sounding time to stop PLAYING ARCADE GAMES I guess

This Shredder is always so dipped out dude. Silver tiger striped cape with shoulder pads? Are you kidding me? He's for sure gay.

Having some trouble with the costume there Tatsu? Having trouble moving that cape?

DAMN ND THE RED SEQUINED SPARKLY BODYSUIT THIS GUY'S DRIPPED OUT AS FUCK

Oh so he's just running a straight-up cult in this one okay.

Uhhhhhh Shredder? That one you captured is a rat. Not. A turtle.

MIKEY STOP CALLING HER A BABE

AWWWW YAY RAH DESVERED THAT THANKS AND HE'S SO HAPPY ABOUT IT- oh he almost cut Donnie's. Uh. Well I guess he doesn't have a D actually.

Oh poor Donnie and Mikey. "Fight?" "Fight." "Kitchen?" "Kitchen." They're too used to this. Cute bonding though.

OHHHHH RAPH IS DOING ANGY TRAINING ON THE ROOF NOW- oh hi Casey you've been oddly absent from this movie until now. Of course you just happen to see him- RAPH FUCKING FOOT NINJAS

MIKEY SAID DAMN NOW WHOO

"How do you guys expect to beat me?" *like two dozen more guys with swords creep up* "Good answer. Good answer!" Raph I love you

Fongoid? ... Like the Ratchet & Clank species?

DUDE 2012 LITERALLY- THIS IS THE FARMHOUSE ARC WHAT THE HELL

Oh that is a bad pose- why'd they do that to Raph? Why'd they put him in the tub like that? That can't be comfortable. That's a terrible position to stick him in.

This movie has more Severe Tonal Shifts than a single conversation with me does.

THERE'S WATER IN THA- HIS FACE IS DOWN THERE HE'LL FUCKING DROWN'

And after that... flirting with Casey. TONAL SHIFTS GALORE where the fuck did Casey go in Secret. Oh nevermind maybe April killed him for his sexist pet names.

Grey’s Anatomy 14x14 Final Thoughts

My brain is split into two right now: “I hate Grey’s and how DARE they do this I’m never watching again” and “that episode!”

Let’s ignore the first half for now, and we’ll get back to it later. I have a LOT to say, don’t worry. 

The episode opens with Amelia feeling really horny. Kind of random and out-of-the-blue, but unlike other unexpected decisions from this show recently, I didn’t mind this one. I loved seeing this cute, spunky side of Amelia, one we really haven’t seen since…Derek died, really. Aside from this new side of her, Amelia was also really dishing out the sass today, from telling Bello to get her head out of her ass (and hopefully leaving Deluca/Sam out of the picture for a while) to putting Koracick in her place, and I liked it :) Overall, it was a much-needed upward trend for this girl, and I really hope it continues.

Over to Owen, this dude was also dishing out sass. Thank goodness he put those boys in their places before they took out someone’s nose or something. It’s been a while since we saw “Major Hunt” being all commandeering and such, and it’s nice to see that side of him again. 

Apparently, being sassy together translates to being sexy together as well (sorry, that was bad phrasing, but idc).I just knew something would happen from the opening elevator scene, and was almost certain it would be in this episode from the ER conversation (“I like a man with authority”/“me too”). And her blurting out her feelings as soon as she saw Owen is classic Amelia. Her “sex speech” followed by Owen’s ““I want you to use me in any way you can think of” will forever have a place in my heart <3 <3 <3 Omelia Will Rise Again! Maybe a double wedding with Jolex at the end of the season?

Aside from the Bello situation, Deluca was not really as intolerable as he was the last episode. This was the first time since Carina’s introduction that we really saw the two of them act like siblings, and I really want more of them interacting!!

But Koracick. Oh my god. This guy got even more sleazy, if that’s even possible. I’m not going to say much more on that subject, except that he’s apparently going to help April next episode and I really hope he doesn’t screw up. April’s leaving, but it better be on terms true to her character, not because some ass screwed her up for good.

Speaking of April. Grey’s anatomy told the entire Domestic Abuse storyline in 2 episodes, but they’re taking their own sweet time solving this Crisis of hers. I was initially glad Hunt sent her home early, because even though the Ear thing was not her fault, this girl really needs to get her act together. But, I said initially happy because apparently, she decided to go home and get drunk instead. Which, y’know, wouldn’t have happened if Arizona (or literally anyone) was paying the slightest attention to her.

Instead, her best friend was off trying to solve the issue of maternal mortality rates (granted, a super important study) but not really making any headway except to accuse her friend of being a bad doctor. great move. On a side note, did anyone else catch that chemistry between Arizona and the OB? Or am I just making it up? 

And onto the second (and “ugh”-est) huge development of this episode. Jaggie. WHY SHONDA WHY? Both of them were sooo awkward at Game Night that I wanted to throw my phone at the TV. Okay, I admit Jackson being protective of Maggie was cute, but in a more brotherly way (like Meredith and Alex, except obviously not as deep). But even when they kissed, I just couldn’t see it. No chemistry whatsoever. They’re better as friends. BUT I was super surprised that “perfect” Clive turned out to be married (”you must be the woman who’s been screwing my husband” flashbacks, anyone?). Maggie doesn’t need Jackson, but she certainly deserves much better than a pathological liar. But anyway, apparently these two are canon now, so I’ll be fast-forwarding a lot of scenes in the future :/

And finally, Meredith and Jo’s story. I’m going to ignore the fact that these two have been getting wayy more screen time for their project than any other doctor so far, and just talk about their current positions. It turned out that the old guy died, and the polymer now belongs to - surprise! - Meredith’s family friend! Who, unfortunately, refuses to sell Mer the patent until she saw proof that it worked, which was a risky move on the doctor’s parts, especially with later developments: Marie was not Ellis’s best friend, and they apparently had a huge feud over something. So Meredith just admitted to stealing, to the person she stole from, and gave away her ground-breaking surgical plans, and I just feel really bad for her and Jo. The one good thing about this, though, is that she interrupted Jaggie in her quest for her mother’s journals. I really, really hope that whatever caused Ellis’s and Marie’s fight won’t impact the project, although knowing Grey’s, it probably will. 

Okay, onto some smaller plot points. 

First of all, how stupid can interns be? They were never formally invited to anything and they still showed up? I’m glad Casey had nothing to do with it, and it was just the two most idiotic, Glasses and Hellmouth. But still. Instead of firing April and Arizona, get rid of these two instead. Also, uh, what the heck is going on with Jolex? I mean, Paul died and all of a sudden there’s a standstill. They didn’t even talk this episode, all we got was Jo smiling in a doorframe. Alex and Kimmy, on the other hand, were adorable and I’m so glad Alex advocated for her while addressing her Grandmother’s fears. Medical Marijuana can do so much good, and it’s a pity most states don’t allow it.  Also, addressing what was, I’m assuming, supposed to be the “central theme” of this episode, what is going on with the lawsuit and everything? It just seemed really random and interjected in there just to get Kepner drunk. Which honestly, served no purpose except to make me fast-forward everytime April spoke. And speaking of “central themes,” that might have been the lamest Game Night ever. And Maggie’s sisters didn’t even show! wth grey’s, wth.

In all, this episode was so good at some points (Omelia! Ellis Grey Plot-Twist!) and so bad at others (Jaggie & the entire Game Night tbh). The promo for next week does confirm two things, one of which makes me (kinda) happy, and the other which makes me want to throw up: 1, Koracick and April (probably) didn’t sleep together; 2, we’re in for a lot more Jaggie, and Maggie is apparently spending more time with her boyfriend’s kid instead of her 2 nieces and nephew (seriously, did Zola, Bailey, and Ellis just…dissappear? Brief glimpses of them are not enough, people). 

--

Alright. To today’s news. 

I was talking it over with some friends before tonight’s episode, and we realized that both April and AZ have no real storylines, but both are in a position where there is real potential for some amazing plots. However, the writers needed to fire someone apparently, and since these two haven’t really had any development in forever, they were the first to go. Now, I love Maggie (like, a lot more than most people), but if they needed to shorten the main cast, she would be my first pick. Or, just promote Casey to attending (I mean, Jo’s residency is apparently 7 years long, so this won’t be that bad) and fire the rest of the interns. But don’t get rid of two phenomenal actresses who have been on the show, dedicated their lives to it, for more than a decade. And if they did it to get back at Pompeo for her pay rise, that’s just cruel. What’s even more cruel, though, is going after Ellen for somehow playing a part in this. Leave her alone! If ABC had said “Sorry, we can’t afford this, otherwise we’ll have to cut the main cast,” she probably would have reduced her price. I mean, she and JCap are super close. Just saying. 

As I was watching the episode, I just kept thinking how absolutely central these two are to the rest of Grey’s. regardless of their lack of stories, nothing would function on the show without them -- we wouldn’t have a Fetal Surgeon, nor a main-character OB anymore, and God knows what will happen to the ER without April around. 

I’m really going to miss these two. This was not fair to us, but it definitely wasn’t fair to Drew or JCap.

My Thoughts on Oscars 2017

Things started on a high note with a bouncy musical number by Justin Timberlake that got everyone up and dancing. Jimmy Kimmel was better than I was expecting, I loved that overrated joke he made about Meryl Streep xD I was glad Suicide Squad got Best Makeup, definitely well deserved! I was also really happy to see Hacksaw Ridge get a few awards, best war movie since Saving Private Ryan! I didn't expect Jungle Book to get Best Visual Effects, I was hoping for Doctor Strange, but Jungle Book was good too. I have nothing against La La Land, though I thought it was a little overrated. I liked the music and cinematography, especially City of Stars. The story was a bit generic, but I can see the escapist appeal to it. I loved Zootopia and was glad that got Best Animated movie! Manchester by the Sea fully deserved Best Original Screenplay, it was brilliantly written and one of the best movies of 2016. Mahershala Ali was good in Moonlight, though he only had about 7 minutes of screen time. I was hoping Dev Patel would win, he was brilliant in Lion and we got to see more of his performance. It was probably about time Viola Davis got an Oscar though I was hoping for Naomie Harris, she IMO was the best part of Moonlight. Emma Stone did a good job in La La Land, though I was backing Natalie Portman, she was amazing as Jackie Kennedy, I was watching the show with people who were around when JFK was shot and they all thought she captured Jackie brilliantly. The highlight of the night for me was Casey Affleck winning Best Actor, he blew me away in Manchester by the Sea, by far the best performance of the year. The biggest snub was Hidden Figures, I thought that was the best movie of the year and it didn't win any of the few awards it was nominated for. I wish Taraji P. Henson had at least been nominated for Best Actress, she really stole the show. I was glad something other than La La Land got Best Picture, despite Warren Beatty's little flub, that was funny xD I wish it had been Hidden Figures but Moonlight was a good movie, definitely touches on a sensitive but important subject. Overall, the show itself was good, not many wins that I was hoping for, but at least the awards were spread out and one movie didn't clean up.

vera and otto rival actors!au

GIVE ME AN AU AND I WILL WRITE 5 IDEAS/HEADCANONS ABOUT OUR MUSES IN THAT AU!!

let’s say they’re in their late 30s/early 40s for this AU

still beautiful af

calling it right now....otto white is the Brad Pitt of this world. he’s known for his handsomeness, his usual roles as a heartthrob, womanizer, fast-talker, the ‘young one’, the action hero

vera is the classic beauty, think Angelina Jolie (BUT WAIT OKAY I’M GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS); she started off with indie films that didn’t really gain much traction until she got cast in a hollywood film and stole the show, and now she’s in everything. she usually does dramas, but once she did a comedy and she was brilliant and now she’s about to start in a new action movie with...

otto white, who plays the male spy, and vera who plays the female spy

basically, they hate each other day one, which adds a sort of spice in their chemistry on screen (they have a lot of banter) but the film and its production becomes notorious for all the arguments between otto and vera

no one wants to fire them though because somehow they channel their emotions to execute the best goddamn scenes

otto isn’t a great actor, by the way, he’s got a certain kind of character he can play really well but everything else feels really forced or just not as natural as you’d like. he still looks great on screen though, let’s give him that

otto off-screen is a different story, people have no idea when he’s being fake or not

vera on the other hand, everyone loves.

she’s honest and kind and still sassy and stands up for herself and doesn’t take anyone’s shit. and she has the purest acting skills.

vera has been nudged for an academy award several times

SO THE BRANGELINA PARALLEL -- NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT?

when he was younger, otto was dating this other young actress (charity beau?) but he had an affair with another actress on a film set (bella waters?) and that caused a huge scandal, though many people seemed to think that otto and bella were a better couple anyway (bella had her drama too)

because of their arguing all the time, and their on-screen chemistry, lots of people thought otto and vera had started dating too (while otto was still with bella!! scandal!!) but they really weren’t 

but otto’s still playing it ambiguous as if there’s a chance that they are and vera hates this because she looks like an idiot just denying everything while otto’s just giving the vaguest statements to the media

as hollywood goes, it’s affecting vera’s reputation somewhat

eventually, the rumours die down but now the rivalry has been cemented

no one knows why, but somehow otto has a vendetta against vera’s beginnings, or her family, or who she’s connected to or something which is why people suspect he was being so shady about the rumours

and he gives her a hard-time on set (tries to anyway, because she’s never fazed and is the most professional ever)

FAST-FORWARD, the spy movie’s done and everyone’s praising it for otto and vera’s chemistry. 

but as the spy movie had wrapped production, otto and vera had begun different products -- both dramas that have been rumoured to be nominated for academy awards

ultimately, both otto and vera have been winked at for leading actor and actress positions and everyone’s so tied because obviously vera is the stronger actor here -- why does there have to be a male/female award, otto doesn’t deserve it at all

of course....in the end.....they both win the leading actor/actress awards

all of the memes are that vera’s taking pictures happily with the rest of the winners while otto’s like lonely to the side, solo with his golden award (à la casey affleck LMAO)

vera eventually wins somewhat because memes win over rumours every time and the amount of shit the internet does with otto and his facial expressions is golden

Here's What The 2017 Oscar Nominations Should Look Like

https://clearwatergolfclub.com/heres-what-the-2017-oscar-nominations-should-look-like/

Here's What The 2017 Oscar Nominations Should Look Like

People prefer to have confidence in favorite anecdotes, Natalie Portman states in Jackie. I’ve got a story book: Jackie obtaining the Oscar nominations it deserves. The most recent setback? No nod in the Producers Guild of America, a dependable precursor for that Oscars top prize. (Deadpool is around the PGAs list rather. Yikes.)

But theres still time. Oscar voting is now underway, so perhaps we will help steer the ballot within the right direction. Academy people have until Friday to submit their selections. So let me talk to the voters available: Please, I beg individuals, do whats right. Skip Hacksaw Ridge.

This will be our final for-your-consideration plea in 11 groups.

BEST PICTURE

twentieth century Women American Honey Arrival Hidden Figures Jackie La La Land Loving Manchester through the Ocean Moonlight The Witch

Im maxing out my favorite Picture roster having a full 10 slots, knowing good and well that American Honey and also the Witch don’t align using the Academys tastes, twentieth century Women continues to be cruelly under-recognized throughout awards season, and Jackie may prove too arty and divisive.

BEST DIRECTOR

Andrea Arnold, American Honey Damien Chazelle, La La Land Craig Jenkins, Moonlight Pablo Larran, Jackie Denis Villeneuve, Arrival

Almost anything to keep Mel Gibson away, really. Hell, Id rather see Garry Marshall obtain a posthumous nomination for Moms Day.

A24

BEST ACTRESS

Annette Bening, twentieth century Women Rebecca Hall, Christine Isabelle Huppert, Elle Ruth Negga, Loving Natalie Portman, Jackie

This year’s Best Actress selection is stacked. The trophy already appears to fit in with Emma Stone. Shes wonderful in La La Land, nevertheless its still painful to toss aside the gravitas that a lot of other leading contenders displayed this past year.Hovering just outdoors my shortlist are Can Be (Arrival), who’ll most likely get her sixth nomination, in addition to Kate Beckinsale (Love &amp Friendship), Anya Taylor-Pleasure (The Witch), Hailee Steinfeld (The Advantage of 17) and Krisha Fairchild (Krisha).

BEST ACTOR

Adam Driver, Paterson Joel Edgerton, Loving Colin Farrell, The Lobster Viggo Mortensen, Captain Fantastic Daniel Radcliffe, Swiss Army Man

Apparently I favor my men smooth and quiet. Presumed favorite Casey Affleck is sufficient good in Manchester through the Ocean, but hes no Adam Driver. He is not a farting corpse! (Thats Daniel Radcliffe.)

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

Viola Davis, Fences Greta Gerwig, twentieth century Women Naomie Harris, Moonlight Molly Shannon, Others Michelle Johnson, Manchester through the Ocean

There is no stopping showstopper Viola Davis, though Id be just like pleased to see Molly Shannon show up on her delicate act as a mom succumbing to cancer.

A24

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

Mahershala Ali, Moonlight Lucas Hedges, Manchester through the Ocean Shia LaBeouf, American Honey Trevante Rhodes, Moonlight Issei Ogata, Silence

Mahershala Ali had won virtually every precursor prize before his recent Golden Globe loss. Hopefully will not dampen his momentum. It might be nice to acknowledge other Moonlight stars too, particularly Trevante Rhodes, whose subtlety betters with every viewing.

BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE

13th Cameraperson I’m Not Your Color negro O.J.: Produced in America Weiner

It feels unfair to pit a 7.5-hour behemoth likeO.J.: Produced in Americaagainst the remainder of these. They all are tours de pressure.

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

Efthimis Filippou and Yorgos Lanthimos, The Lobster Kelly Fremon Craig, The Advantage of 17 Kenneth Lonergan, Manchester through the Ocean Mike Mills, twentieth century Women Noah Oppenheim, Jackie

Hang tight, I must be serious for any minute. The breadth about this listing of screenplays is astonishing. Along with the adapted works below, its amazing to consider we’ve got of these layered tales within the same twelve months.I’m getting fits about nixing Ira Sachs and Mauricio Zacharias Little Men script.

Roadside Attractions

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

Park Chan-wook and Chung Search engine optimization-kyung, The Handmaiden Eric Heisserer, Arrival Craig Jenkins, Moonlight Shaun Nichols, Loving Whit Stillman, Love &amp Friendship

I personally don’t like to chop Hidden Figures, with a nice shot in a nomination unless of course the Academy decides for goddamn Deadpool, which appears more and more likely.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE

Nicholas Britell, Moonlight Andy Shell and Robert McDowell, Swiss Army Man Justin Hurwitz, La La Land Mark Korven, The Witch Mica Levi, Jackie

I’ll drink on Mica Levis account when she’s snubbed.

A24

BEST ORIGINAL SONG

Audition (The Fools Who Dream), from La La Land Drive It As If You Stole It, from Sing Street What Lengths Ill Go, from Moana Im Still Here, from Miss Sharon Johnson! Montage, from Swiss Army Man

Justin Timberlake will receive a nomination for your Trolls earworm produced in a pop lab. Please result in the feeling stop.

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY

Came Daniels, Krisha Stphane Fontaine, Jackie James Laxton, Moonlight Linus Sandgren, La La Land Bradford Youthful, Arrival

Its difficult to argue from the technical mastery of los angeles La Land, that takes cues from Singin while it is raining and also the Umbrellas of Cherbourg, however i think the job that entered Moonlight and Arrival was more novel.

Oscar Predictions

Chris' Movie Review 2017 Oscar Predictions It's that time of year again. This Sunday, we'll find out who will win the most prestigious award in the film industry. Unless you think the Oscars are just movies that are literally made to be nominated, then yeah, I can see your point in why you wouldn't watch. I will list the nominees in order of who I think will win to the least possible winner. That way you can see my thoughts on each nominee. Any questions? You can ask below in the comments. Otherwise, here we go. Best Picture Nominees 1. La La Land (My Prediction) The movie is just fantastic. I love watching this film so much, that I want to watch it again. Even though it caters to the Hollywood stereotype, it's still a gorgeous and well acted film. 2. Moonlight This film touches on a subject that we don't get to see very often, a gay black man growing up in the hood. The struggles of this child learning to accept himself and grow up with a distant mom is challenging. The movie can feel slow at times but there are some powerful moments throughout. 3. Manchester By The Sea The movie takes awhile to really pick up but this is one of the more realistic scripts this year. The film takes an unique approach to depression by adding comedy into the mix. The movie is very dramatic at times but again, the first hour is very sluggish. 4. Hell Or High Water A well acted movie that has a great cat vs. mouse type story. Issue is, it's sort of forgettable. While there are some great scenes and good dialogue, the film just feels empty at times. 5. Lion Based on a true story, the first hour of this film really hits home with the struggles of a child who gets lost in India. As the movie progresses, he begins to feel extremely guilty that he left his brother, sister, and mom behind. The second act of this film doesn't do itself justice by cutting too much of the child's experiences when he moves to Australia to live with his adopted parents but the ending gives you a lot of hope. 6. Arrival Learning to communicate is key. And then there's a scene that just doesn't make any sense but it's okay, the rest of the movie is still good. While slow in pace, the film has a great atmosphere and brings about a lot questions that strike curiosity amongst yourself and others. 7. Fences The movie takes place in a house and it's basically just an actor's film. Denzel Washington and Viola Davis are really good in the movie but the one stop setting can get a little boring and the movie takes about an hour before it really gets interesting. 8. Hacksaw Ridge While the war scenes are gory and well detailed, the first act is messy and not well paced. If the first act could follow the footsteps of the war scenes, then the movie would be way higher on the list. 9. Hidden Figures A must needed film to exploit the real truth behind NASA's hidden heroes. While the movie does a great job telling the story of these black ladies that worked for NASA, it doesn't give itself time to let each character develop equally. It's still a solid watch and it's inspirational, but it's not as impactful as some of the other films on this list. Best Actor 1. Denzel Washington (Fences) (My Prediction) It's an actor's movie and Denzel kills it. Even if you think he's over the top at times, he's able to harness a full range of emotions for this character. 2. Casey Affleck (Manchester By The Sea) While it's basically one emotion throughout, you can see that Casey feels dead on the inside. He just keeps going because he's not sure what else to do. And maybe he'll find happiness one day soon...if he allows it that is. 3. Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge) Andrew is great in the war scenes. You see the pain and passion in his eyes but the first act slows him down in this film. 4. Ryan Gosling (La La Land) We've seen this role from Ryan before and, while he plays it well, it's just not something that's beyond his range. 5. Viggo Mortensen (Captain Fantastic) I didn't see this movie. Heck, did it even play in America? If it did, I never heard of it. Best Actress 1. Emma Stone (La La Land) (My Prediction) So this is kind of embarrassing, Emma Stone is the only actress I saw in this category. I never heard of Elle or Loving. And I honestly didn't see Florence Foster Jenkins because I thought Meryl Streep wasn't going to be in contention. And Jackie was something I was going to get around to but it was Oscar month. They dump all of the movies on you at one time. So if you want to disqualify my pick, you're more than welcome. But I know Emma has to be the lead candidate. Plus, they left off Amy Adams, the academy can go fuck themselves. 2. Natalie Portman (Jackie) 3. Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins) 4. Isabelle Huppert (Elle) 5. Ruth Negga (Loving) Best Supporting Actor 1. Lucas Hedges (Manchester By The Sea) (My Prediction) Lucas really brings the movie to light once he gets on screen. Casey brings it down, Lucas brings it up. It's a good balance between the two and I could even contend that Lucas was better than Casey. 2. Micheal Shannon (Nocturnal Animals) Honestly, if Jake Gyllenhaal is considered a supporting role, then he should be on here instead. But since Michael is, he does a solid job getting his emotions across and he brings a side character to life. 3. Jeff Bridges (Hell Or High Water) Jeff doesn't steal the show but he's definitely there. It's not that he's forgettable but it's more that we've seen this role from Jeff before. He does them well but it becomes a little worn out after awhile. 4. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) A man with few words but he can stare at you. It's not a bad performance but I just didn't feel anything from him. And maybe, that's the point. But he wasn't impactful for me. 5. Dev Patel (Lion) Same as Mahershala, Dev just kind of stares off into space a lot. Again, it's not bad but you just don't feel the emotion all the time from him. Some of it could be the movie though. Best Supporting Actress 1. Viola Davis (Fences) (My Prediction) Viola puts everything on the line here. She's on screen the most of these five and she hits home with her performance. 2. Michelle Williams (Manchester By The Sea) Even though she's on screen for maybe 7 total minutes, she just leaves an impact. Michelle is so underrated as an actress and she deserves way more roles. 3. Naomie Harris (Moonlight) Probably the most haunting performance in all of Moonlight. If anything, Naomie is the true stand out of the film. 4. Nicole Kidman (Lion) Nicole is just sort of there. She cries once or twice but she's just sort of there in Lion. Not too much to say really. 5. Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures) She is the least interesting of the main three. Taraji and Janelle are more interesting and are better than Octavia in this movie. It's not too say she's bad but the movie fails Octavia really. Best Director 1. Damien Chazelle (La La Land) (My Prediction) What can I say that I haven't about this movie? It's fucking gorgeous to watch. The scenes are shot so well and the film flows beautifully. 2. Dennis Velleneuve (Arrival) I might think the movie is slow but the atmosphere is fantastic. It's creepy but it has a sense of wonderment and adventure. 3. Mel Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge) Just the war scenes. I mean, I know I keep bringing that up but those are really the best part of the movie. Mel really took his time with that part of the movie. 4. Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) Like Manchester below, they're both slow at points and the direction seems lost until you get past the halfway point. 5. Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester By The Sea) Same with Moonlight but the film does have a better use of its comedy. I see these two as a tie. Best Animated Film 1. Zootopia (My Prediction) Let's face it, Your Name or The Boy And The Beast isn't on the list, so where's the real competition? Zootopia is a great movie and it tackles prejudice and race well. It just doesn't have a real foe in the category. 2. Moana Cute, action packed fun. The movie is entertaining but it will probably be forgotten about in the next 5 years. 3. Kubo And The Two Strings There are things that weren't explained. The movie was fine but it didn't blow me away like I thought it could. 4. The Red Turtle Didn't see because it wasn't released any where near me. And maybe not even in America for that matter. 5. My Life As A Courgette Same as The Red Turtle. I mean, if a movie is going to be nominated, then it should be released so everyone can see it. Damn. Best Original Screenplay 1. La La Land (My Prediction) It's good. Enough said. 2. Manchester By The Sea I think Manchester does a great job combing depression and comedy. I also believe that Manchester has a great chance of winning this category. While I think La La Land will win just because, I think Manchester deserves it more. 3. Hell Or High Water I think the dialogue and setting are great but it's not the top film in my opinion. 4. 20th Century Women Didn't see. 5. The Lobster Didn't see. Best Original Song 1. Audition (The Fools Who Dream) (La La Land) (My Prediction) First off, this song was literally made to be an Oscar song. Just listen to it. Second, where's Sing Street? This will be quick but Drive It Like You Stole It is fucking amazing. Sing Street as a movie, is fucking amazing. It should've been nominated for Best Original Song, Best Original Music Score and possibly Best Picture. 2. How Far I'll Go (Moana) Catchy, but over used in the film. 3. City Of Stars (La La Land) It's good but eh. It doesn't need to be on this list. 4. Can't Stop This Feeling (Trolls) Really? What the fuck? You could put all of Sing Street's soundtrack on here before this song would even get on the list. 5. Empty Chair (Jim: The James Foley Story) Never saw this movie but I listened to the song. It's fine. Best Original Music Score 1. La La Land (My Prediction) It's the only score I can remember. So I'm not going to comment on the rest. But would Sing Street qualify in this section? I know it used tunes from other artists here and there but there was a lot of original music too. And if did qualify, fuck the Oscars. Because yeah, I'm sure everyone recalls the music from Passengers. 2. Moonlight 3. Lion 4. Passengers 5. Jackie Best Cinematography 1. La La Land (My Prediction) I'll be honest, I think Arrival should win but I'm predicting winners and I think La La Land will just win just because. It's not too say this movie isn't beautiful but Arrival is done extremely well. 2. Arrival Same case. I think Arrival has a great outside chance but it just depends if the academy wants to split up the awards any. 3. Moonlight 4. Lion 5. Silence Lastly, Best Visual Effects 1. Rogue One (My Prediction) Despite my issues with the movie, Rogue One is fucking amazing with its special effects. The film looks great and it helps you ignore the plot and character problems. 2. Deepwater Horizon 3. Doctor Strange 4. Jungle Book 5. Kubo And The Two Strings And that's it. I left off Best Writing Adapted Screenplay. Mainly because I don't know the original source material for these movies and that wouldn't be fair for me to judge. I left off Best Foreign Film because I never get to watch those. I left off Best Film Editing because I'm lazy. I left off Best Animated Short because I haven't seen all of them. I left off Best Production Design, just because. I left off Best Sound Mixing because I don't think I could really analyze that. I left off Best Live Action Short because I haven't seen any of them. And I left off Best Documentary Feature because, like most of them, I didn't see any of them. Finally, I'd just like to say that some of these awards I don't really care for. If I left it off the list, I didn't either know enough, see it, or just really care about it. It's not that those awards shouldn't be handed out but it's more of I think they're not that important in the long run. But it's the Oscars, they need something to fill up 4 hours of run time. As usual, thanks for reading!
