I have never heard my name said so many times in a row. (I know it's spelled differently but still.)

On Supporting Actress: I saw a sneak preview of Saltburn this week and Rosamund Pike was hilarious and fantastic and very deserving of a nomination.

I seem to like the movie more than most, but cruz is really good in ferrari. would be a deserving nomination

I feel like Tar and Eyes Wide Shut (on my mind from Karina Longworth's latest Erotic 90s series) are similar in the way that they were both talking about broader sexual themes couched in a mystery and rolled up in satire/humor that came off as pretentious art house. I've found EWS much more watchable and insightful in some ways as the years go by and I hope to have the same experience with Tar... but I didn't connect with it first run. Found the pacing too slow and Blanchett's performance a little too on the nose - technically perfect, but not as emotionally engaging as some of her other roles where I've seen her shine and transform (Carol, Blue Jasmine as just two examples). Per moi. :)

I saw THE IRON CLAW back in April at a test screening (but it looked basically done). IMO Maura Tierney doesn’t have enough to do for an awards push. Only the male performers (particularly Jeremy Allen White) will get consideration once people see it. As for what I thought about it…I’m looking forward to seeing it a second time.

This seems like the place for me to air my confusions about TAR. When I walked out of the theater, I thought it was a 4/5, hilarious satire, without a single serious moment in it (and the moments that are forcibly serious without comedic bent are what held it back for me). I believe I saw it opening weekend, because me and a friend were mortified when we discovered all the serious reviews, and lauding towards it, being some sort of artistic triumph, and "about things", and not a single review mentioning comedy. When I tried to take it at face value, I dropped it to a 2/5, and have been pretty damn anti-Tar. Now, people seem to be on board with it's actually a comedic masterpiece (not saying there weren't day one people, I just maybe saw it before those others trickled in), and my feelings are torn, because I've spent so much negative energy towards Tar, it feels hard to turn back. I think if we are supposed to take her seriously as an artist at all, the movie is an abject failure, because she clearly is a talentless idiot (and I don't see a case for otherwise in the film itself), but, if we are only supposed to be making fun of her... I may be swayed to come back around. I struggle disliking it, but feel firm in it not deserving the overly lavish praise it's received (it's a bit of a try-hard Kubrick riff); though I'll always concede the final punchline is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a film. Am I alone in this? Am I being a stubborn idiot?
