Dudes! That was awesome to watch, I'm subscribing immediately !

"Abjectly terrible" is the correct answer in regards to PJ's KK.

And fave Jimmy Stewart for me is prob Anatomy of a Murder, but yeah, he's pretty much solid in everything he ever did.

The ICS, an international group that I'm privileged to be a part of, released their nominees today!

Call Me by Your Name Comes Out Peachy Keen at ICS Awards
Honoring films released in the USA in 2017.

The 15th ICS Awards saw Luca Guadagnino’s lush summer romance Call Me by Your Name blow away the competition with a record-setting 11 nominations, including picture, director, adapted screenplay and four acting nods. Next in line with 8 mentions was Paul Thomas Anderson’s gorgeously poisonous Phantom Thread, about a high-fashion couple perpetually ripping apart and re-stitching their relationship.

The presumptive Oscar frontrunners were mostly absent here, except for Greta Gerwig’s charming Lady Bird, which garnered picture, director, actress (Saoirse Ronan), supporting actress (Laurie Metcalf), ensemble and original screenplay honors. Also scoring 6 noms each were Bertrand Bonello’s wildly cinematic story of young Parisian terrorists, Nocturama, and James Gray’s impeccably crafted jungle adventure, The Lost City of Z. Denis Villeneuve rounded out the best director lineup with his soul-searching replicants in Blade Runner 2049, which tallied 4 nominations.

Actors/actresses in LGBTQ roles were strongly represented at ICS this year, including Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer for Call Me by Your Name, Nahuel Pérez Biscayart and Arnaud Valois for BPM, and Daniela Vega for A Fantastic Woman.

In keeping with ICS tradition, the Unreleased Films list features 20 underseen films that our members were lucky enough to catch at festivals on five continents, and for which they voted passionately, but which failed to receive theatrical distribution in the USA in 2017.

Winners of the 15th ICS Awards will be announced on February 4, 2018.

In other movie news, Johnny Depp is an asshole.

I don't know where else to put this, and it doesn't warrant its own thread, but have any of you ever subscribed to MUBI? It's a film service where each day they add one more movie to whats available but each film is available only 30 days so there is a rotating list of 30 films to watch?

I've been on it for a few months now, and it's amazing. They've had Bresson, Greenaway, Varda, Godard, Herzog, so many auteurs, but also many many oddball films I would never have seen on my own... giallo films, Italian gangster movies, tons of documentaries, shorts, experimental films from Chris Marker, silent films....

I highly recommend it!
