Yes, I can explain my entry title.
A couple of days ago, I decided to watch every film nominated for the Best Picture Oscar before the ceremony. Last night, I decided to extend that to every film nominated for Best Picture, Director, the Acting categories and Screenwriting.
Thoughts thus far?
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: It’s good, but not as great as it’s made out to be. Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell are absolutely outstanding though.
The Shape of Water: Absolutely outstanding. An absolute tour de force of a film and fires on all cylinders in every department. I love, love, love this film.
Get Out: A rarity, a massively hyped film that actually lives up to hype. Deeply unsettling.
Lady Bird: Again, good but not great. The acting is top notch though.
That’s as far as I’ve got thus far.
Tomorrow, I have to head into town to drop off the form for getting a new fit note. And thus far, that’s my only weekend plans, interesting life that I lead.

I have seen all! I have to say that the acting in Three Billboards was off the chart awesome! Get Out was way cool but The Shape of Water was my favorite – so different and so unique.

I want to see Three Billboards – I just found out they filmed it in several spots near Asheville NC, where I grew up. The billboards were right outside Black Mountain, maybe 10 miles from where my dad still lives. I would not think that part of NC looks like Missouri, but apparently it does.
