We already have 133 titles -- building out from the first 90 suggested by Ferdinand and Christophe. (and a dozen or so from me) When you guys suggest additions, it would make things easier for me if you name the director in parentheses. Thanks! Don't be shy about recommending movies featuring white guys with white problems directed by white Americans -- anything is possible! After a couple of days, when we run out of...

Civil War – “Least Woke Since American Sniper”

I was dreading Alex Garland's Civil War, I'm not gonna lie. I was dreading it because the collective fear on the Left about their imaginary villains on the Right makes me nervous every day. I'm not scared of the Right because I have spent time getting to know them. I have seen things from their point of view. I have humanized them, yes, even Donald Trump. I am having a hard time remembering what it used to be like to be traumatized and afraid all the time, like Stephen King, Barbra Streisand, Stephen Colbert, etc. It's...

Reframe: Scarface

Scarface, Brian De Palma’s nearly three-hour reach for epic-level greatness is seldom talked about as an actual film anymore. The movie (and particularly Al Pacino’s no-holds barred performance as gangster Tony Montana) have drifted so far into iconography that the quality of the film itself has become  secondary to its legend. And it’s one hell of a legend at this point.  De Palma’s remake of Howard Hawks’ 1932 accepted classic starring Paul Muni has been adopted by hip-hop stars (see Scarface of the Geto Boys, Nas, Jay-Z, Biggy, the list is endless) and scores of athletes...

What It Was Like in the Room: Oscars 2024

Awards Daily's Megan McLachlan recaps what it was like to be in the Dolby Theatre for the 2024 Oscars. The 2024 Oscars have been put to bed, but if you're like me, you're still reeling from all the surprises (Emma Stone!), performances (I've had "I'm Just Ken" stuck in my head all week), and controversies (wait, Messi wasn't actually clapping?). I was excited to be in the room for this year's Oscars and what a year to be there. After all, it was the year of Barbenheimer, but it was also the year two international films...

2024 Oscar Ratings – A Small Lift

The Oscar ratings rose from last year, or as The Hollywood Reporter says, a 'post-pandemic high.' Let's add it to the chart to see how it looks: The Hollywood Reporter says: The Jimmy Kimmel-hosted telecast on ABC averaged 19.5 million viewers, according to time zone-adjusted fast national ratings from Nielsen. That’s a 4 percent increase from a year ago. The 96th Academy Awards scored the biggest audience for any awards show since 2020, when that year’s Oscars — held a month before the U.S. went into lockdown in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic —...
