Recapping the Oscars
Not sorry I missed the festivities. Spotlight was a good Best Pic.— March 4, 2016 2:43 p.m.
The odious 8.25
QT needed some quick cuts close-ups of maniacal laughter of the bad half of the eight. Yeah, maybe an hour cut - but that would take care of all those exteriors, so, yeah, you're right, why 70mm? QT always leaves me conflicted: on one half, there's the slathering self-love for his own highly expository dialogue...then there's the cinephile/video store clerk who always has his ducks in a row for lots of homages and nearly forgotten B-movie references and getting some actors (A,B, and C) fun work. He had me at the brochure and Morricone score, and the actors always bring their best scene chewing. All of his stuff is meta, and you're always outside his movies with a delicious grin (if you're over 40), so for a popcorn movie, I'll take this over the rest of the CGI plastic industry.— December 31, 2015 9 a.m.
