    We all got blindsided by October Baby. It would have helped if Sam Goldwyn had a screening count out. Oh well.

        Yuck, I apologize for my slipshod posting this morning. I would like to alter my #8, #9 and #10 as I really can’t muster enough faith in Will Ferrell.

          And are you predicting no Oscars and no Lower?

            After having seen the movie, I don’t think it’s gonna get any nominations. Nothing in the top categories for sure, the editing is a bit flabby, the cinematography a bit shaky, the art direction and costumes a bit garish, the sound a bit ragged, the score too similar to others, the visuals too fake. I liked the movie well enough, but award-worthy it ain’t!

            I’m watching it Sunday, so I don’t know about any of that, but when you say the Art Direction and Costumes were a bit garish, then I think it succeeded. I don’t know if you’ve read the book or not, but that is precisely the fashion sense and decorative style of The Capitol.

            I agree with the costumes/makeup/art direction garishness matching the book, but I don’t think it will appeal to the Academy.

              Fair enough, but you can’t argue with the fact that the Costume Designers and Art Directors will very likely recognize the film in their Fantasy categories if nowhere else.

    Sorry, that was a Worldwide Gross for Hunger Games. Make that 300 Million domestic.
