Okay, so Best Popular Film is obviously a stupid & bad idea, but what really pisses me off is that they're going to shunt some of the tech categories into some vaguely-described "edited and aired later" package.
I like dogs just fine. Ignore this calumny.

From this past weekend: BLAZING SADDLES is the latest review for a Patreon subscriber - thanks to Not Fenimore for his donation to the site!
Now that I've seen the movie, a round of applause for whatever anonymous souls cut the OCEAN'S 8 trailers. So many lines and locations creatively taken out of context for such effective ends.
My top pick: HEREDITARY, barely edging out OCEAN'S 8. nitter.gq/AlternateEndng/status/…
