Re: Dissecting Jordan Peele's 'Us'

So you're saying the son could choose when to make this connection and when not to? How does he have/learn this power? And why doesn't anybody else in the movie's universe have such a power?

They weren't "consistently" mimicking each other, though. It was literally just for those 2 minutes in the closet. What about the entire rest of the movie? Are we supposed to just ignore the vast...

Re: The 2015 Mofo Film Awards

The fact that The Martian didn't get nominated for Most Overrated Film only confirms to me how overrated it is. If Ridley Scott was a no-name and this was his debut feature, I can't imagine he'd get...

I watched Brooklyn last night, and I was very impressed with Saoirse Ronan's performance. She deserves to win over Brie Larson IMHO, but I have not seen any of the other nominees yet.

Re: Best Actor Oscar 2014

Joaquin Phoenix had a clearly better performance than Christian Bale, IMO. It's a shame he wasn't nominated, but this was a great year for lead actors.
