Two Claudio posts on the most discussed. That’s my guy. Well done. I’m guessing the Forrest Gump/Your Oscar Year article was pretty close.
Great content in these very difficult days upon us. Great job Claudio and the team. :)
Just your daily (sporadic) reminder that Renée Zellweger is a two-time Academy Award winning Actress.
I was a little scared when the site was down earlier in the day (maybe it was a timezone thing?). I already lost Box Office Mojo and ESPN...can't effort to lose another of my daily fix during these quarantine times.
Hope Nathaniel feels better and EVERYONE on the team can continue to deliver great content.
kin -- yeah, sorry about that. not sure what that was about but i was alerted late last night and got it fixed. i am feeling a lot better. :)
That iconic photo never gets old. Please stay safe, everyone.
I agree with kin, I almost had a heart attack when the site didn't come up! Also I hope Claudio, Nathaniel and all the team are feeling better and proud of what they are providing us at this time in particular. Much love to you all!
Another great month of content, will definitely have to revisit some of those posts now we have more time.
I know it's going to be an utterly bizarre year, and fully understand if these things do slip, but will you be doing April Fools Predictions?
Any update on when we are discussing the streamed "Only Angels Have Wings"? I watched it on Criterion .. Hope I can find my notes..
BJT -- i have been working on them on the side. i just dont quite know how to proceed since usually we have a calendar of releases to guess from!
SFOTROY -- my aim is to get that done very soon. sorry for delay.
Hi Nat,
Thanks for responding. Totally agree - at this point how can we even guess which films will be able to complete post-production in time, let alone release or take into account any rule changes the Academy may bring in. These are unprecedented times indeed.
