True Best Picture of the Year.

I feel like La La Land is definitely going to take the Best Musical or Comedy spot.

I also need to see Nocturnal Animals so badly. I ended up watching Fantastic Beasts instead of it the other day and only because I figured Fantastic Beasts wasn't going to be in my fave cinema anymore so I had to watch it before it left.

I liked Fantastic Beasts.....not a love but I really felt it was really fun

How did it compare to the other films? It felt like too much franchise cash grabby grabby for my taste.

I liked it as my first introduction into the world. I haven't seen any of the other Harry Potter films. I know this is a spin-off essentially but it was good enough for me.

Best Picture

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
American Sniper
Boyhood
The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Imitation Game
Selma
The Theory of Everything
Whiplash

I know this is going to come off contrived since I didn't see Birdman. I really feel like Whiplash should have won Best Picture with Boyhood being a very close runner up.

birdman > whiplash

both are great, but birdman is marginally better.

boyhood is so ****ing overrated

"oh but it took 12 years to make!!!"

shut your ****ing mouth. the apu trilogy did it first anyway.

The what trilogy?

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 12-23-2016, 09:35 AM

Google is your friend

it's an indian film trilogy about a boy coming of age a la Boyhood. i don't find the two all that comparable beyond that, but i think it's worth noting for the people that think Boyhood is some amazing cinematic achievement.

I thought apu was an acronym of some sort but now that you say it's an indian film then it's probably the boy's name.

Also why would I Google when I can just have you tell me? Plus you are the one bragging about how great it is.
