When this trailer for 80 for Brady dropped in November, I was, to say the least, stunned by what I'd just seen:I … I just … have no words. I'm struck dumb. As Egon Spengler put it, I'm beyond the capa...

Surprised at how much he liked it.
Wow.
The guy spent the first 2 paragraphs reviewing a blog that reviewed it. I left about 5 paras in and didn't see word 1 about the movie, just the poll about whether he should see it, what a blog said, something about his wife wanting to see it, something about women his own age (from the looks of it) wanting to see it. He had at least a half dozen grammatical errors in that span that would never have seen the light of day in the world of print journalism, but I suppose for us old folks, the lower standards of the internet age make everything ok on that front.
I mean, I'm not in a hurry to see it either, I'm not this thing's biggest fan, but wtf.
As for
@1960Pats list above... Argo *** yourself. Truth is, I haven't seen that many of the films above. I agree on Nomadland. I would have to see it again to get an idea of the plot, if there was one other than "I strongly believe myself to be the John Steinback of early 21st century dispossessed white people." Maybe I was just half asleep when I saw it. But I don't think that's the direction the arrow of causality went on that one.
I thoroughly enjoyed Argo, and both me and the Mrs. loved the weird af "The Shape of Water." As soon as I see 12 Years A Slave I'll tell you specifically why that's a dumbass thing to say for that movie, but for now I'll stick with that's a dumbass thing to say in general. A movie about slavery is a "hate America" movie? Dude, it happened. Both history in general and the upfoggery that happened to the protagonist. I mean, is history supposed to be history or what feels good? Do you automatically hate America just because you know America?
I'm also the only person I know who absolutely loved "Tenet" though, so there's that. And no it was never up for an oscar because that's definitely the stuff they can't stand because they really don't get it. I think.
