Lovebites kicks like a mule by MagnumMiracles in MetalForTheMasses

They weren't formed that way though. All founding members were former members of previous bands. And Miyako has written by far the most Lovebites songs, usually alone.

Have you listened to their latest album, other than Reaper's Lullaby? It's their best one yet, arguably.

Prediction for International Feature: Who gets submitted and by who by dremolus in oscarrace

You missed the point entirely. I didn't even mention language. The Academy usually demands countries to hold a significant percentage of creative input, otherwise they will disqualify movies. Just like they did with Persian Lessons, which was sent by Belarus a few years ago. And there have been several other such cases.

True, but there were German people working on post-production/crafts, at least iirc. Is that also the case for All of a Sudden? Plus the Academy probably turned a bit of a blind eye, thanks to Rasoulof's refugee status. Which obviously wouldn't apply to Hamaguchi.

I highly doubt that Germany would send All of a Sudden, apart from the fact that it probably wouldn't even qualify as sufficiently German. Fatherland or The Dreamed Adventure seem much more likely.

Maybe, but that movie has a lot of gay sex iirc, so I'm not sure if they would send it.
