It's maybe not fair that I got to jump the gun by creating the thread. If you would like Klansman, I'll pick something else, gladly. Just say the word.

Oh make no mistake, I want Klansmen, but you got it first. I should have taken it as my last pick and not Creed 2. Unforced error on my part.

To be fair, with your movies, I wouldn't have, either.

Suspiria reactions from CinemaCon....:

If you’re gonna remake Dario Argento, you better go for it.

Oscar nominated director Luca Guadagnino wrapped his new take on Dario Argento’s Suspiria last year, and we’ve been waiting to see/hear *something* since then. All has been quiet, but that quiet has been brutally shattered at CinemaCon today. The first footage from the new movie was shown off, and the reactions on Twitter are CRAZY.

Amy Kaufman tweets, “Ummm I am traumatized after seeing a scene from “Suspiria” in which Dakota Johnson controls the body of another woman as she dances. The woman’s body literally cracks in half. She is like, torn apart. Spitting, urinating, bleeding. It’s… A lot.”

From Peter Sciretta, “First clip from Suspiria invokes a dancer being thrown around like a rag doll telekinetically in a mirrored rehearsal space, bones breaking, becoming a contorted mess. Very gruesome and hard to watch. This film will make most people feel uneasy.”

Fandango chimes in, “Luca Guadagnino presented a scene from his #Suspiria remake; there’s a 70s sepia tone … and seriously some of the most disturbing body horror. They went for it and the #CinemaCon audience is gasping. Just brutal but with a gentle melody. Holy crap… call me by your bent body.”


I'm fucking IN

Yeah I caught some of the Cinema Con buzz a few days ago when i picked up A Star Is Born. But again, I am pretty confident with my picks apart from that.

I still can add 1 actor right? Emma Roberts.

Done, and you still have one vacancy for whenever!

oops posting here: I'll take Felicity Jones and Robert De Niro and leave my number 10 spot open for now.

I'm dropping Tommy Lee Jones and picking up Armie Hammer.

:O :O :O :O

dunya wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 9:10 am i was gonna pick donald sutherland for ad astra but their release date is jan 2019

I'm expecting it to get an awards eligibility run in NY/LA at the end of the year.

can i pick donald glover as my #10 actor? kthxbai.

Done!

looks like Javier Bardem's Everybody Knows isn't gonna have a US release date. I'm contemplating dropping him now..

It got meh reviews as it is, I don't think it's going anywhere, tbh.

yes, disappointing. /dropping Javier

looking for another hunk to replace him.

I have two slots open, right? So I can just add someone?

If so, I'll take Mindy Kaling.

I'll take Kiera Knightley

OOF, a little quicker on the draw here and you'dve gotten some of that hotly contested Deadpool 2 money. She's great as Cable.

Is it possible to pick someone up who is already in a movie, just miss out on the cut and awards for that movie?

I assumed once they are in something it's over.

Yeah once they're in a movie they're off the board.

Spoiler: show

I was making a joke, or more accurately a reference to a joke from Deadpool 1

but you can pick them if they're in another movie that hasn't been released yet.

since I dropped Javier, I'd like to take Alec Baldwin in his place.
