We sometimes do align with our East Coast counterparts (this year, we all agreed on Randolph, “Menus-Plaisirs,” and “The Boy and the Heron”), but in general, I’d say LAFCA runs cooler on late-career Scorsese than the NYFCC does. Scorsese was one of our New Generation winners too, way back in 1976, a year when he would have been a more-than-respectable best director choice for “Taxi Driver.” He went on to win our best picture prizes for “Raging Bull” (1980) and “Goodfellas” (1990), but since then, zilch. (And now I’m having flashbacks, Glenn, to you and me and not very many others pushing 2016’s “Silence,” his greatest film of the 21st century, in every category we could.) All that being said, the strength of support for Gladstone in both the leading and supporting categories—and we specifically voted on lead performance first, to make sure that she and other actors weren’t being classified as supporting by default—speaks to the depths of the group’s admiration for her performance, even if other actors ultimately drew more support in the voting. It’s possible too that after we chose Gladstone as best supporting actress for her heartbreakingly great performance in Kelly Reichardt’s “Certain Women” (2016), LAFCA simply wanted to award someone new. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2023-12-11/what-went-down-at-that-lafca-vote-as-told-by-two-voters

IndieWire Critics Poll Topped by ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Here is yet another list that’s topped by Martin Scorsese’s late-career statement, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” It’s turned into the most acclaimed film of the year by appearing in the most year-end top 10 lists. IndieWire polled 158 critics and asked them to submit their picks for the best films of 2023. I decided to abstain in participating this year since it was just too early for me to come up with my ten best films. Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” topped the poll, followed by Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” Celine Song’s “Past Lives” and Todd Haynes’ “May December.” IndieWire will eventually release the top 50 results. For now, the top 10 for Film, Director and Performance — BEST FILM 1. “Killers of the Flower Moon” 2. “Oppenheimer” 3. “Poor Things” 4. “Past Lives” 5. “May December” 6. “The Zone of Interest” 7. “Anatomy of A Fall” 8. “Barbie” 9. “The Holdovers” 10. “Asteroid City” BEST DIRECTOR 1.

Usually I'm not a big fan of such old movies but since this one inspired parts of Killers of the Flower Moon I watched it for curiousity and surprisingly... I LIKED IT Montgomery Clift was gorgeous.

It's Art Basel time.

I'm a bit irritated how apple wants to gain costumers with this movie when it's not even exclusive on their platform

Thanks I watch it right now. Montgomery Clift is really handsome but a bit dickish so far. Elizabeth Taylor is drop dead gorgeous no wonder he falls for her head over heels. Edit: Ok I'm halfway through and I fear he's more than "a bit dickish" 🙈🤣 I can clearly see the parallels to KOTFM. This Montgomery dude is really good you can tell exactly what he's thinking just by the look of his face. Overall a surprisingly watchable movie. Looks like he had a troubled short life. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/09/scandals-of-classic-hollywood-montgomery-clift

I got my copy of "The Heiress" I also bought again "Dance with wolves" - this time the theatrical cut. I've heard this cut is much better than the overlong extended version (too many unnecessary scenes what hurts not only the pace of the story but weaks it). I'm just too curious which I like better 😁 "A Place in the Sun" is on paramount+. What's the connection here to KOTFM?

Stunning

^ Now I want to watch it very badly
