I hope Morricone finally wins a competitive Oscar. And The Look of Silence gets one. Probably my favorite film from last year.

Was there any great performance by a non-white actor this year? I seriously don't know, but to automatically assume racist bias sounds a bit cheap imo.

Would be different if he suggested a non-white actor who deserved a nomination according to this guy.

Idris Elba in the supporting actor category I suppose. Can't recall anyone else.
Last year Bradley Cooper got the nomination over that dude who was in Selma. Bradley Fucking Cooper

good buildup which hits out triggers developed over a lifetime of media 'programing', compounded by projections and identification with protagonist

One could argue though that a lifetime of media programming should work against suspense. They never kill the hero without him having finished what he is supposed to finish, even if he is chased by a dozen of armed men shooting at him. I agree with the bold part but I'm not sure if that's what's making me feel the suspense when i rewatch a suspenseful movie.

Here's a semi-thorough read if you're interested: http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/2007/03/07/this-is-your-brain-on-movies-maybe/

The Hateful Eight... damn, did anyone here like that?

I loved it.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I loved it.

Really? I was so bored. Kept falling asleep, and never once did I feel like I wanted to know what happened next. This Samuel Jackson thing seems so old now

 

[Stevie]

Yeah the Samuel Jackson thing has been done too many times but i was really captivated in the story and loved a lot of the acting. It kind of felt like a cheap thrill for me just really enjoyable while knowing not to take it too seriously.

Cool. Maybe I was just sleepy

Cool. Maybe I was just sleepy

Was about to say that there are nights where im really in the mood for a film and whatever i watch i can enjoy. I watched 2 other movies the night i watcjed The Hateful Eight and enjoyed all of them.

Tonight i watched Sicario and wasnt really in the mood. I could tell that it was an excellent movie but i will definatly have to go back and watch it again to fully appreciate it. Same goes for The Revanent i was in a terrible mood for watching a movie of its type. I was watching it thinking "this is great why the fuck am i not enjoying this"

Too many loopholes for my liking.

Idris Elba and Michael B. Jordan are the only two that have been in serious consideration, and Elba probably the only one really close to a nomination. Abraham Attah should have been though.

A Morricone documentary directed by Tornatore is the dream.

I actually watched it a second time. I liked it better overall, even if I'm still not a huge fan of the second half.

Spoiler

Any why did they write Tatum's name in the opening credits? Would have been much better as a proper surprise.

I'd have hated it if the surprise was Tatum tbh.

They ought to have a best token black guy category.

But since you're know he's going to appear in the movie, and since they're locked down in the haberdashery, you're just waiting for him to appear somehow.

I know what you mean, but it's still Tatum. Plus nobody assumed he was coming from the basement or that he would be the prisoner's brother.
