Explosions Originales
There is a lot going on with the Chloes, but I can't actually do anything until June 11th. Because -- seriously -- that is when the nominees for the 1st Annual JMC Chloe Awards will be announced. Why 1st? Wasn't that last year? Well, no. I decided to throw out last year's completely. But this year I can start fresh with lessons learned from my many mistakes.And why June 11th? Because it will be exactly 16 months (the eligibility period) from my first '07 screening, which was Hannibal Rising. I believe it was a 4:30/5:00 showing, so they should be posted by 7:00. In 5 months. Okaaaay... Here are three bullet points concerning JMC07:
1. Best Actress.
Good lord, somebody shoot me. Not you. I mean, we've got Page, Cotillard, Christie, Adams, Jolie, Miller, Portman, Linney, Linney, Knightley (le duh), Blanchett, Blonsky, Ricci, Shannon, Watts, Gainsbourg, and (probably the frontrunner, but don't quote me on that) van Houten. [EXPLODES]
2. Best Original Song.In a same situation with different results, the Original Song category is so crowded, but it's glorious instead of mind-exploding. Let's see, theres "That's How You Know", "Ever Ever After", "Happy Working Song", "Le Festin", "Falling Slowly", "If You Want Me", "Lyra", "Come So Far", "Back Where You Belong", and "Keep Your Mind Wide Open" (once the frontrunner). I only have a very vague idea about who is the f/r now, and it might be four of them. But god, they're all so good.
3. Atonement.
That review I've been yelling about for almost a week now isn't as progressed as it should be, so I've decided to take it down from the release schedule. It needs a complete re-write, more studio consideration, and a few more test screenings before anything is finalized. I'm sorry. I really want to talk about it too (and give it it's damned grade), just to say what I wanna say, and what is SO obviously true... and things even I didn't see coming...
So, what's up with your own personal opinions on these categories?
And also, I ask hesitantly, what are your opinions about Atonement?

Atonement is FINALLY coming to my theatre tomorrow. FINALLY.
Some scheduling conflicts (i.e. promises to go see Cloverfield and 27 Dresses) won't allow me to see it until Monday though. But by Monday, I will most definitely be able to tell you what I thought. :)
oops.
how is it that keira knightly manages to be completely useless in every film she in which she is cast?
how is it that there has never been a film that has been as good as the respective book [with the obvious exception of the godfather]?!
apologies for consistently using your comment space for, well, angry comments.
... because she's not?
... because there has?
... things a reverse mermaid would say?
The day of atonement is not at hand.
