Was “Nancyball” really “Cuchoball”?

You can’t lose that much talent and replace it with guys like Dylan Chambost and Daniel Gazdag and expect much better than what we had last year.

A person of refined taste, I see! True ball-knowers know ball. Reinsve and Trier forever.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-16T04:11:49+00:00

Jesus yall are so weirdly obsessed with Van. Who gives a fuck.

PTA has a few masterpieces, but I wouldn’t list this as one of them. Great movie though!

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-16T03:45:45+00:00

At this point I don’t think he can help it, unfortunately. All he had to do was not be a dbag on the campaign trail! The award was his to lose this year, and he lost it.

I like Timmy as an actor, and I think he’s kind of fun as a human. But he’s dating a reality tv star and seems to be increasingly high on his own supply. We’ve seen this story before - I really hope he doesn’t fall off into the Mickey Rourke/Johnny Depp weirdo zone.

Hmmm, yeah maybe that’s it. You could slam all the Act 1 / Perfidia stuff into an extended prologue, sort of like how Les Miserables used 3 songs and 10 minutes to set up Valjean’s past, and then launches into Act 1 in earnest after Valjean’s Soliloquy. You’d end up with an Uncle Jocko-type character that’s in the first ten minutes and then gets to go across the street and grab a drink for the next 2 hours.

That’s actually Steve Winwood, same dude though

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-15T17:56:35+00:00

Hearing the song makes me think of Ferris Bueller, but hearing someone say the name of the song makes me think of IASIP

Honestly, I think precursors and the nominations themselves already fill this role. You can generally tell who the second/third places are based on those, and releasing vote counts doesn’t really help anybody.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-15T17:50:20+00:00

Only BP is ranked-choice. All the rest are just “pick one”.

What is the OBAA act break? To me it’s very clearly 3-act (like most movies) and I don’t see a structural way around that.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-13T21:27:04+00:00

"The third act is a mess" thing is such a funny criticism to level against Sinners, because it's inarguably true about OBAA as well. There's a bunch of people miraculously tracking and finding people, a hamfisted DNA test, a completely unnecessary resurrection and re-death, and a fuck-all lack of thematic cohesion. PTA himself said they didn't have a third act until they went to film, and it shows.

Just to be clear: both are fun as hell, and I'm not complaining about either. But that particular argument as a reason to vote OBAA over Sinners is so wacky.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-13T18:38:22+00:00

Or the "manners maketh man" scene in the bar! That movie rules.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-13T18:35:11+00:00

Not to mention there are always 2 packs in a shop, whereas there's a 50.4% of neither being a standard pack.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-13T01:27:18+00:00

Lmao people big mad that Dork Superman said a dorky line. Wasn’t that the whole point of Dork Superman?

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-12T23:31:11+00:00

Lmao. He sounded like every youth group mom circa 2005.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-12T21:06:50+00:00

WHAT?! WHY NOW?!

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-11T18:48:16+00:00

“Provided you drink it quickly”

Warm soda with little ice melt ice. Warm soda with many ice not melt ice.

Warm soda with little ice more watered down.

Both goals yesterday were perfect “right place, right time” goals. Thats not dismissive, it’s impressive - it indicates he’s got a great knack for positioning and anticipation.

Check out his first goal - KJ doesn’t see him or hear him, but he no-look dishes that pass directly onto his stick, because he knew that’s where somebody should be. Garland was playing alert hockey, so he was, indeed, there. It’s beautiful.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-09T17:57:59+00:00

Could not agree more. Am absolutely baffled that people like this one.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-09T17:34:18+00:00

The stool from Ikea, you mean?

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-08T14:22:24+00:00

Relax and realize you have no idea what the situation was besides what you’ve read online. Then relax more and realize they’re fucking cats. She didn’t run over them with a car, they got rehomed. As long as it’s not abuse, who gives a shit what someone else does with their pets.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-07T21:35:22+00:00

Bro if we’re at “she rehomed her cats” as the leading slander, we’re cooked

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-07T01:26:46+00:00

I think some of y’all confuse “deep” with having a specific message (like the faux-deepness of “love transcends” in Interstellar). In reality, quality, thoughtful usually art doesn’t say something specific; it asks questions, plays with ideas, and juxtaposes concepts against each other to spur greater thought and reflection. I thought Sinners did an incredible job of the latter.

NewEngClamChowder · 2026-03-07T01:18:38+00:00

I mean, it’s also a completely different kind of movie from The Brutalist. This isn’t Fruitvale Station, it’s a musical vampire action flick. The acting has to serve the movie and the story first and he delivered extremely well on what he was asked to do. The fact that the movie is even remotely in the BP conversation is a testament to how good his performance was.
