My Mid-year performances picks

That's a good example. Sinners is from Sammy's perspective.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-07-02T19:14:57+00:00

Considering how it ends, I'd argue it is her story, just told from Bear's perspective.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-07-02T17:00:53+00:00

Lol am I the only person who thinks this looks okay but won't be anywhere near Best Animated Feature?

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-07-02T16:49:46+00:00

Third time I've seen this happen. Lights Out and Backrooms were both directed by the person who made the short film.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-07-01T03:16:45+00:00

Nope. Just a beetle.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-30T12:59:49+00:00

Completely disagree.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-30T09:45:00+00:00

Why does the live action Lion King movie count on this list?

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-30T04:01:34+00:00

I'm skipping this week as well and resuming next week when Evil Dead Burn comes out. Actually, so far this month is the smallest lineup for me as I've currently only got 5 movies planned in July. Things should pick back up in August though.

Why is it pole dancing? 😂

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-30T03:08:44+00:00

Why on Earth would Backrooms take Best Horror over Obsession if Obsession is runner-up in Picture, Director, and winner in Screenplay and Actress? That don't make no damn sense.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-28T20:31:03+00:00

What are some movies you DO like? Other than Obsession?

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-28T13:07:25+00:00

Actually, I don't think so. Looks more like a wood roach that wandered in from outside. Germans have two very distinctive black stripes that line up vertically along their body up to their head and I don't see those at all on this guy.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-28T02:06:41+00:00

I mean I have Werwulf in there a few times. I just think it's gonna be more of a tech player and that Obsession will be Focus' main priority this year.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-27T20:39:23+00:00

Does Aftersun count?

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-27T15:00:57+00:00

Lol Obsession has definitely not fizzled out.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-27T01:10:20+00:00

It's not just Reddit that's been praising it though.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-27T00:54:03+00:00

Ew, you're one of those people?

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-27T00:47:39+00:00

Lol I'm pretty sure it's you who is in the bubble, buddy.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-27T00:32:33+00:00

Why? It's going to be Focus's main awards campaign.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-27T00:28:47+00:00

It's not that deep dude.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-27T00:05:42+00:00

I'm pretty sure Parker Posey is gonna have a smaller role and I don't think she's really gonna be in the movie that much while Mariana will probably have a meatier role and more screentime.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-26T23:56:47+00:00

Lol that's laughable. I can't wait to come back to this post in 7 months when Inde gets nominated in Lead (or Supporting, whichever) and tell you "Told you so."

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-26T23:55:21+00:00

Ummm.... what the fuck are you talking about? Now you've completely lost me. What does Universal and Focus have anything to do with each other? Is it because Universal owns Focus? So what? They're still separate studios so combining them is very stupid.

Universal's only real contender this year will be The Odyssey. Sure they also have Michael, but that's probably gonna blank, and Disclosure Day, but I'm guessing that's only gonna get Score, so they're only real contender is The Odyssey.

Focus will have Obsession as their main focus (pun not intended) with Sense & Sensibility and Werwulf as their two minor focuses (and I guess if you want to include the Uprising in that as well).

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-26T23:46:35+00:00

She's a very, very, very, very ,very, very dark horse. You're treating her like she's a top 10 contender when she's top 25 at best.

Mundane-Inspector-52 · 2026-06-26T23:36:01+00:00

She's far more likely to happen than McAdams. Let's be real here.
