The Squid and the Whale is the best movie Noah Baumbach has ever directed. I rank it... oh. WOW. Fourth out of seven nominees. I was really hoping that I'd rank it lower, because it is by no means good. Welp.

The fact that Taryn Manning and Taraji P. Henson didn't get AMARA nods for Hustle & Flow is criminal, maaiyne. I'm still not voting for it in the one category that the movie snuck into (not saying that "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" is a bad song, but it's no "In the Deep"), but if I had watched this before nominations it would have worked into quite a few places on my ballot.
Color me surprised.

Hey, question: Should I watch the theatrical or extended cuts of Kingdom of Heaven and Sin City?
I may not get around to them, but since multiple cuts are out there I'm gonna ask.

honestly still reeling from the fact that Pride & Prejudice only earned three nominations (Knightley better win). Has some of the best landscape cinematography and use of natural lighting in a romance film in recent memory, recalls the sprawling scenery from movies like Far from the Madding Crowd. And the consistent emphasis on framing these characters within their natural environment connects them to their primitive instincts and desires with sets this adaptation apart from others and from the source material.
It also features Marianelli's best score, also snubbed, and IMMACULATE production design and set-dressing, and Roman Osin draws attention to that work in the framing. The film wants you to see these sets, and I did anyways.
And it was snubbed in BP in favor of the Robert Downey buddy comedy... yeesh

Can't tell you when I was watching how much I wanted to transplant Gay Perry into a less conventional and bro-y film. Kilmer is too good for Shane Black.

No one should ever watch the theatrical cut of Kingdom of Heaven. It's an abomination when compared to the sumptuous director's cut (which is flawless aside from the admittedly ridiculous casting of a cardboard cutout of Orlando Bloom in the leading role). Sin City's good either way you shake it, but I personally opt for the theatrical.

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
I really dug the meandering first act with its overt black comedy of Geum-ja forming a sort of Dirty Dozen of prison friends to help her enact her revenge. But once it gets to the actual revenge, it's very standard, ugly stuff. It doesn't say anything new (Aeschylus was doing this sort of thing over 2,000 years ago), it just parrots better works in a more bloody way.
It's fine, I guess. Lee wouldn't make it anywhere near my cut for best actress, but she isn't bad. Just terribly forgettable.

Kingdom of Heaven was... bad. Preachy and lacking in any subtlety, either in the writing or in Ridley's gore-filled, chaotic direction. Remember when three hour action epics had any element of fun? Ridley Scott doesn't, as he shows by everything he's made since 2000.
