Plus I think The Commuter came out too late for Oscar nomination selecting.

I do want to see Hostiles, still need to see The Disaster Artist, Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird (though I hear it's a "good but ain't that good" response), Darkest Hour, Phantom Thread, and several others. As far as new movies coming up, I want to see:

Black Panther
Braven
15:17 To Paris
The Irishman
A Quiet Place
Super Troopers 2 (that trailer was gold)
The New Mutants
Halloween 2018
Aquaman

I'm sure more will coming I'd want to see, but those are on my priority list.

I can watch an animated movie. I am just not interested in blockbuster animated movies that target 2-6 year olds.

I don't care the least bit about award fare. It is 100% opinion. Why should anyone be interested in a Hollywood schmuck's opinion of a movie, as though that opinion is the end-all of opinions? Especially now that Hollywood is making a big stink about white men getting nominated for awards? It's just a total liberal Hollywood shit show.
award fare as in the movies, not the outcome of each category or whatever. you seem down on pretty much everything. if you don't care then why cast it all aside, as if it's garbage without even seeing it? seems weird to me. *shrug*

"hollywood" makes a stink about white men being nominated. and "movie goers" make a stink about a woman having a role in their favorite film or film franchise. both are stupid. and both represent the minority, no matter how loud they get.

Because to quote the great Bon Jovi, "it's all the same, only the names have changed"

People get upset about women being in movies? Lol. First I've heard of that.

bon jovi and you would both be wrong to think that all movies are the same, aside from the names. :P

yes. if you've managed to avoid it, good. but it does happen. and i think you've even shown a tendency toward that direction, but it could just be me misreading the gripe.

Was it released in theaters? That is a long standing Oscar rule.

it was, though fell under that "limited" crap I think (I seriously hate when they do limited releases first). It is nominated for Cinematography, which is a historic one because this is the first female cinematographer nominated.

I'm not rooting for her just because she'd be the first female winner though. I'll raise hell if Roger Fucking Deakins looses Cinematography again! :P His work on Bladerunner 2049 is magnificent. If he loses, it only proves he must've shit in someone's cheerio's a long time ago.

Oh good lord, there is nothing historic about that. That is more like trivia.

Ugh. Society has become so pitiful.

There is no reason a woman can't succeed in a field like that. Are we gonna celebrate the first Muslim to win the Pillsbury Bake off?

I really enjoyed the Commuter. I didn’t see a single trailer before watching. Neeson, train. That’s all I needed to know.
