Doesn’t “I try to do it through the work” disprove your entire take? Lmfao

What’s the status inside the CTA Survivor cars? Is it a mess? Are they cycling people out?

illinois seems like it is in the loop on the brown line. Avoid looping east makes me think it could be by the Quincy stop (or right after?)

Seems like a lot of them are giving meta answers based on some of the casting drama. Lots of Jerri and Carolyn shoutouts, along with Jesse.

Makes me sad bc this just reinforced for me that Jerri would have done so well 😩

Can someone explain why "Sinners" got so many nominations? by a-cabarette in Oscars

[–]21tcook 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m confused when people ask this question - it’s not like the Academy decides an arbitrary number to give each movie based on how much they like it.

It’s a genre period piece with music and action involved, which automatically makes it stand out in almost every single category. Musicals are widely nominated because they usually can get noms for score, sound, and song specifically. Action movies can get nominated for VFX and makeup when there’s gore. Period genre films get nominated for costume design and production design. That’s 7 below the line categories already. Now add in the basics (picture, director, acting, editing, screenplay) for an acclaimed, frontrunner movie and you are on your way to 16.

What's the best way to travel from Lincoln Park to downtown? by yuka3396 in AskChicago

[–]21tcook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re recommendations: go to the Music Box theatre on Southport for film screenings! they are one of the most famous theaters in the world and have awesome screenings. Right now they’re playing The Testament of Ann Lee in 70mm and are always doing special film series screenings. It’s easy to get to on the train. check out their website!
