I really wish Melissa McCarthy would stop doing movies with her husband. I might give it a shot bc I like the leads and love Bobby Cannavale, but I am not expecting anything.

Saw French Exit a while back and enjoyed it and all of its weird, dry humor, but I bet a lot of people will absolutely hate it, lol.

We watched The Assistant earlier this week - so good, and an excellent film companion to the Scott Rudin article from yesterday. Really looking forward to seeing more from writer/director Kitty Green. I already knew Julia Garner was talented, but she was so restrained and great in this, and Matthew MacFadyen was perfectly cast.

Last night, continued the MCU watch with Spider-Man: Homecoming, which we'd seen once before. Tom Holland is a great Spider-Man, and even though parts of the movie were a little slow, I really liked that they emphasize the fact that he's a normal teen. Comparing the high schools in this and Euphoria is somewhat inevitable with the Zendaya connection, and also hilarious.

Tonight, we're gonna watch Miss

The quickest way to get me disinterested in a Melissa McCarthy movie is seeing her husband wrote it. I don't get how he can write such painfully unfunny roles for her!

I loved The Assistant! Probably my fav movie from last year.
How does your ballot look like?

[scriptedending]

There are a couple I am on the fence about, and I have til tomorrow afternoon to finalize, but right now I think my ballot is gonna be:

Best Feature: Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Best Director: Chloé Zhao
Best Screenplay: Eliza Hittman
Best Female Lead: Nicole Beharie
Best Male Lead: Riz Ahmed
Best Supporting Female: Yuh-Jung Youn
Best Supporting Male: Paul Raci

and I'm a flop and didn't see all of the movies in any other category, lol.

I fully agree with your choices! Cast that ballot!

Maybe give Kitty Green for best first screenplay for The Assistant 😅

The Assistant should win for best Sound Design, holy shit.
