    Regal and AMC are not going to show Universal films any more because of this, a bit extreme I think....
    It's a standoff. After some behind the scenes apologizing and jerking, they'll put out some PC bullshit about how it was all a misunderstanding and they'll get back to making boat loads of money together. Universal and AMC/Regal (and all theaters, for that matter) have a symbiotic relationship, they need each other.

    Exactly.

    Also, I don't know about you guys but I'm cool with the Academy combining both sound categories.

    I feel like we've discussed a Best Stunts Oscar before. Here's an interesting read. I didn't realize there were so many people comprising the "stunt department":

    Why Isn't There a Best Stunts Oscar?

    1. I don't like them combining the 2 sound Oscars. Sound itself so integral to a film that it's a travesty that there is only one Oscar for it. If they want to take an oscar away, take away Best Animated Film which is a joke and has always been a joke.

    2. The problem with best Stunts is...how do you do it? Are we doing best Stunt for a movie? Best stunts judging just the stunt itself? Are we rewarding the stunt people themselves (generally impossible unless specific stunts are nominated) or the stunt coordinators? Does a film full of good stunts get nominated or a film with less but better stunts? Would Tom Cruise or other actors be excluded for being an actor and not an actual stunt person? It seems incredibly messy and complicated for me.

    Basically the Disney/Pixar movie wins. No international films stand a chance because most everyone sees Disney/Pixar films meaning they're getting the top vote most of the time.

    The only years where it's not telegraphed who is winning is when Disney/Pixar didn't have a huge film.

    In 20 years only a handful of non- Disney films won...Shrek, Spirited Away (distributed by Disney), Wallace and Gromit, Happy Feet, Rango, and Spider-verse.

    Basically the most seen movie will win. It's a stupid category with a tiny field.

    I don't think your argument is without merit, but looking through the list for the past 20 years.. honestly save for maybe 1 or 2 years I can't say I disagree with any of the winners. Pixar films are popular because they're really good films. Don't lose sight of that in your extreme anti-Disneyism

    It's not that they aren't good films, but most of the films aren't near as good. Generally the only contenders in terms of quality are foreign films few academy members probably saw...so it's kind of a moot category. Films like Anomalisa and Loving Vincent don't even stand a chance blockbuster films. The whole category is just sapped of any prestige or competition for me. It would be better if it were at least unpredictable. But there is rarely more than two contenders, and commonly there isn't a second contender.

    Way to go Ricky!

    I may have a confession to make...

    Spoiler:
    I actually canceled my Netflix DVD subscription last month I found I was just collecting dvds and they were sitting there sometimes for over a month before I would watch them, and with everything going on in the world right now felt it might be best to save some money. I've rented a few things off Prime in the meantime and its actually probably more cost effective. It still makes me sad though

    I also owe it to Heather for getting me into Netflix She sent me the free trial. I had to let the DVD subscription go for the same reasons she stated. Also, I have bought so many DVD recently that I probably had most of what was in my queue. Also, I have Hulu, Prime along with free services like Hoopla and Kanopy. There's almost nothing I can't get my hands on.

    I miss my Netflix DVD service. Their collection is impressive af. So many niche, foreign, obscure films I would never have had a chance to watch if it wasn't for the service.

    I'm sorry Ricky Maybe in the future I'll join again. There's just too many subscriptions services out there, and I can't join them all. Plus DVD Netflix had almost everything I wanted to watch. They really are a good service. I just need more time so that I can get my money's worth out of them.

    I'm attending the digital premiere of Dreamland tomorrow night. It's the new film from Bruce McDonald and writer Tony Burgess, who previously teamed together for Pontypool, which just about everyone here saw. I haven't watched this trailer because I don't want to know anything about the movie going in. But there's going to be a live Q and A with Bruce McDonald after, which should be pretty cool.
