January. It's a Wrap
I always lose January in a rush of movie and work demands and previous year spillover. It's over already? Here were 10 highlights from the month that was:
Best of the Year Nathaniel's 22 Favorites of 2012
Jodie Foster is Single Thoughts on Jodie's brand of "coming out"
The Hours 10th Anniversary. Nick & Joe discuss the actressy film in depth
Blue Jasmine Tea Leaves Should we be excited for the new Woody Allen?
César Nominations - Julien takes us through the French Oscars. This year half the big titles were also hits abroad: Rust & Bone, Amour and more.
100 Oldest Living Oscar Nominees - Emmanuelle Riva, Carol Channing, Doris Day and 97 more
Celebrity Globe Tweeting - from Cazwell through Zachary Levi to Adele
10 Big Surprises of Oscar Morning - from Silver Linings dominance to Affleck's Snub
Most Eyeballs: Eddie Redmayne Interview. The rising star talks skinny-dipping, name-calling, and live-singing. This was actually at the end of December but it kept on winning viewers, so I thought I'd include it.
Most Discussed: SAG Live-Blogging (in two parts)
COMING IN FEBRUARY
It's time to dive deep into the fire of the final awardage, both Nathaniel's own & Oscars (interviews and category spotlights coming). But because we're overly ambitious (even if we sometimes don't meet our ambitions) we'll try to throw in a few retro treats like...maybe... Cabaret (1972), 8 ½ (1963) and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988) or Bringing Up Baby (1938) which all have anniversaries!
Stay tuned...

So glad I bought "Lightness," when Criterion had it. On my favorite Criterions list! Thought it was going to be nom'd for Best Pic in 88.
Patryk -- i don't remember it getting much traction that year but i was so scared of it back then. I was so not ready for the things that movie was showing me. SO easily shocked i was by sex back then.
Yes please to all the anniversary movies, especially Unbearable Lightness and 8 1/2! The latter being one I am always happy to read new discussions about.
A 75th Anniversary celebration of Bringing Up Baby would be so fun.
