a disturbing lack of Rogue One. :( Fine. Vote for Arrival across the board. :)
I don’t think any groups have nominated *Rogue One* for anything.
granted, it’s not Mad Max Fury Road, but it’s good in so many ways (good scenery shots, nice acting, important themes).
It’s a great film! Saw it again for the second time, and loved it even more than the first time. But this has been a really strong year for movies, so it has a lot of competition.
So you’ve seen it 3 times altogether, then? :)
Nope. Twice. Are you being pedantic about the wording of a hastily written comment, and if so, why would you clutter up the comments with that?
Sorry. Just a bit of pedantic whimsy.
