I hope Knightley improves for you on this rewatch of Pride and Prejudice as well. I know you don't like her generally, but I always felt like she was the perfect Lizzie. She doesn't make her as austere as the miniseries, she makes her act her actual age.
Tahmeed: Oh that explains it. It's been ages since I saw the film so I remembered him as Supporting. (I was the Anonymous user, I just forgot to enter my name.)
Harris: It was bound to happen, the ratings have dropped year after year that they had to make a change to keep the ceremony at least somewhat relevant to the casual viewer.
Luke: I feel even then, YouTube's going to charge a fair bit for it. I just hope we don't get a repeat of Hulu crashing during the Best Actress/Best Picture announcement if the ceremony runs over time.
Louis: What are the most prominent examples of "bad scenes" in otherwise very good-to-great acting performances that knock those performances down for you, i.e. "What's in the Box?" for Pitt in Se7en.
That scene is why Pitt is a 4 for me instead of 4.5. It would've been a masterful scene for him, Spacey and Freeman, but the inclusion of that massive "Oh God, OH GOOOOOD" in place of just silence almost ruins it all.
Ya know, I used to be one of the people who hated the box thing, but I watched it again a couple years ago and it's really nowhere near as bad I remembered, and it actually does fit the whole arc of what Pitt (and Fincher, honestly) is trying to do with that character.

Thoughts on the Disclosure Day trailer?
Louis, ratings and thoughts on the cast of Sirat.
Louis: would you still give a 4 to Corinna Harfouch and Juliane Köhler in Downfall, and where would you rank them if that's the case?
I'll just say that I think Gielgud's performance is a masterclass but you really have to vibe with what the film is doing.

*checks 2005 supporting actor ranking* Wow, Macfadyen isn't even on the overall? And Sutherland's only #42? Goddamn.
Anonymous: Macfadyen's #20 on the Lead overall for Pride and Prejudice, which I've always felt was low even with the strength of the year.
Would love a Sutherland upgrade too, he's my win that year.
to everybody here: If you didn't like the last two Avatar movies, this next one is not gonna sway you.
If you liked them, like me, it sadly might ...
Robert: Have you decided on your recommendation.
Tahmeed: Oh that explains it. It's been ages since I saw the film so I remembered him as Supporting. (I was the Anonymous user, I just forgot to enter my name.)
Louis and everyone else: What are your thoughts on the Oscars moving to YouTube starting 2029?
Harris: It was bound to happen, the ratings have dropped year after year that they had to make a change to keep the ceremony at least somewhat relevant to the casual viewer.
Luke: I feel even then, YouTube's going to charge a fair bit for it. I just hope we don't get a repeat of Hulu crashing during the Best Actress/Best Picture announcement if the ceremony runs over time.
Luke: I guess the 1991 filming of Into the Woods? It's on Youtube.

Marcus: He still gave Pitt a 4.5 for Seven so I don't think that scene affected him too much.
Louis: Ratings and thoughts on Powell, Brolin and Domingo in The Running Man.
That scene is why Pitt is a 4 for me instead of 4.5. It would've been a masterful scene for him, Spacey and Freeman, but the inclusion of that massive "Oh God, OH GOOOOOD" in place of just silence almost ruins it all.

Louis: Could you add my request Vincent Price in The Abominable Dr. Phibes to the requests page.
Louis: Your thoughts on 'Heavenly Puss' from Tom and Jerry?
