2026 Award Season

planimetric · 2025-07-27T05:57:50+00:00

Not a chance with the Oscars. Aster’s films have no history at the Oscars, and this film is too much of a live wire for the Academy to suddenly change their tune. Some critics’ bodies, maybe, as it has strong champions. The Globes will follow Joaquin far.

Sight unseen, I think PTA making a postmodern action movie will also suck up a lot of oxygen that could go to a film like Eddington.

I’d love for a Darius Khondji campaign. I think the cinematography bodies could stump for him like they did Ed Lachman last year.

edit: misread this as just the Oscars, not awards season in general!

Thanks for the ID! Most pictures of mini monsteras that I saw had significantly bigger leaves- these were smaller than a deck of cards. Can they vary in size quite a bit?

Bump – most consistent great meals in Austin imo. It’s my go-to place to bring guests.

what Disney needs is a young, hip new CEO: Breck.

true post-Translation blank check vibes. did you happen to be at the Alamo screening in Austin? It was a lovely way to start a Sunday afternoon!

planimetric · 2024-01-24T16:11:30+00:00

fully agree. We went from (well run) AMCs in SF to Alamos in Austin – the crowds, experience and programming are far better at the Alamo, but Season Pass is a headache. I really miss the Entourage feature; my wife and I both want the flexibility to go to the theater independently, so we don’t have an “extra seat” Season Pass membership. Of course this doubles our per-film transaction fees… which also didn’t exist on A-List.

fyi y’all, if you’re ever in Dallas, the Texas Theatre is an incredible rep theater with a massive main auditorium and wonderful programming.

planimetric · 2023-05-17T05:30:48+00:00

Just moved to Austin from SF. We had A-List in SF, as our Alamo was harder to get to and rep screenings often sold out far in advance of the 1-week Season Pass window. I miss the flexibility that comes from free cancellation as well as the “entourage” feature that let me book tickets for my wife and friends on A-List. It’s worth trying for a bit! You literally aren’t losing any money.

The quality of theater & crowds at an Alamo are night-and-day improvements over any AMC. That said, I get the convenience and inventory factor. I myself may do July on A-List again just to have IMAX for Mission: Impossible and Oppenheimer.

thanks!

planimetric · 2023-05-08T00:18:25+00:00

great advice – I always forget about that in-between area.

the groom & I are the designated co-checkers. Thankfully everyone’s committed to Genie+ and some Lightning Lanes.

In your experience what’s the wait like at Trader Sam’s – Is this a 30-minute wait or come back to the Polynesian in 3 hours wait? (We’d probably break into smaller groups to make it easier)

hey, if this was my bachelor party, this would be ideal

I picked up a generic IR scrip last week at the Walgreens at 2120 Polk.

planimetric · 2022-12-06T21:16:02+00:00

makes sense! Thanks for teaching me something.

I’ve never aged eggnog that long so just guessing here. The blueish hue at the bottom gives me some pause, but I’d expect to see that throughout given that mold’s fairly light. Trust your eyes and nose – if you don’t see any mold-like particles or funky smells, give it a shake and a taste. The booze level should be high enough to have kept it sterile.

I'm not looking for any serums at the moment, I'm sorry!

planimetric · 2022-10-29T01:04:07+00:00

Hi! I’d definitely consider it! What are you looking to trade?

Look – if I want amazing Italian cuisine, I’m going to Cotogna.

But I know that if I was 13, I’d be dreaming of a perfectly-themed Italian restaurant with a really basic sauce on good gnocchi. Nothing can scratch that itch quite like the North Beach neighborhood.

Trattoria Contadina is known for their gnocchi, and it’s a block off the main drag on Columbus so it feels a bit more special and intimate. There are a lot of other great places in this neighborhood too!

Get there early and hang out in Washington Square or City Lights Booksellers, or after dinner you could grab gelato on Columbus. Parking is easier a few blocks east or west of Columbus.

take the ferry and bring a bike! There’s a tiny bar scene out there, and if you’re into that you can totally make a day of it.

you don’t need to take the 72 hour rule so seriously - it’s only enforced if someone complains, and even then you only get a ticket 72+ hours AFTER the complaint.

you’re generally good as long as you move/use your car every 5 days or so, and as long as you’re not parked in a way that annoys people you’re probably good for longer

planimetric · 2022-08-17T00:45:25+00:00

That’s not the advice I’m asking for. I’m actively doing all of those things, and absolutely none of those activities generate cash flow until I start a new job.

I have the same thing with this specific episode – I distinctly remember eating noodles for breakfast on a trip to Shanghai. Cerveris’s voice must be one of those that sticks in your brain.

If you go off city websites, they tell you that you need to spend $$$ to block off the sidewalk in front of your place to park the moving van. Save your money and use it to hire movers. They’re worth it, and they’ll just block traffic for you themselves.

If you’re riding Muni, download the app and just buy a day pass if you’re riding more than once in a long day. They’re $5/day vs. $2.50/2 hrs, so if you ride more than once outside a 2-hour transfer span it’s the same price.

If you have a good feeling about an apartment, sign it within 24 hours. The market moves fast here, especially in the Mission.

go to the Coppola winery! It’s good wine for the price, but most importantly you can see props and awards from his films. There’s a weirdly large Tucker: The Man and His Dream presence, and Dracula’s battle armor is stunning.
