"But I am still thrilled that he sent the pantsuited liar packing."
Trump is telling lies almost every single time he opens his mouth.
I´ve seen the movie twice in the theater.
I really enjoyed it, better than The Force Awakens actually.
My ranking:
1.) The Empire Strikes Back
2.) Star Wars
3.) Return of the Jedi/Rogue One
5.) The Force Awakens
.

.
5.) The Phantom Menace/Revenge Of The Sith

7.) Attack Of The Clones
I bought the "Force Awakens" Blu-Ray when it came out in April 2016.
6 months later they released an edition with audio commentary and additional extras.
I won´t buy the "Rogue One" Blu-ray straight away.
I´m fed up with their bullshit realase politics.
I´ll watch it online till they release a proper edition and only then buy it.
To all you conspiracy theorist nutcases:
Get your facts straight !
The two accountants have copies of all the winner envelopes.
There´s nothing strange about two envelopes per win @ the ceremony.
One of the accountants just handed out the wrong envelope.
There is no conspiracy.
PS
Moonlight is a better movie than La La Land
Best Twist Ending EVER !!!
and a happy one as well :)
Moonlight, Jackie & Lion soundtracks are all better than La La Land´s
the guy thanks his deceased wife and he gets almost dragged off stage.

Way too soon
Best Picture Nominees
Have seen all except "Fences"
First of all I think that none of the best picture nominess fall into the "high rewatchability" category
Arrival - 7/10
- great atmosphere & direction
- I didn´t like the moral choices of Louise ...
- ... they are thought provoking though
- in a nutshell: style over substance
Hacksaw Ridge - 7/10
- impressive battle scenes
- even liked the 1st half of the movie lots of people were bitching about
- don´t get all the praise for Garfield´s performance though
- sometimes a bit too preachy although the Christian angle of the movie could have been handled far worse
- ending was great
Hell or High Water - 8/10
- just a well made movie all around
- stellar performances of everyone involved, especially Chris Pine took me by surprise
Hidden Figures - 6/10
- too much of a typical Hollywood movie
- many historical inaccuracies for the sake of dramatic effect
- except for a few scenes Henson´s performance was pretty average
- use of contemporary music took me out of the movie
- I´m thankful that I got introduced to the story behind the movie though
La La Land - 6/10
- first of all I have to admit that I´m biased when it comes to Musicals because I generally dislike them (except for "Blues Brothers" - if that counts)
- Damien Chazelle would deserve Best Director Award, direction certainly is the best thing about the movie
- music is average at best - hated the first two songs - "City of Stars" is lackluster & overused
- John Legend songs also nothing to write home about
- Best scene in the movie for me is hands down the Pool Party sequence with the cover band
- I generally liked the non-musical/dialogue scenes
- again: I respect all the talent involved, this is a well crafted movie but story-wise & dramatically it´s nothing special
Lion - 7.5/10
- very good soundtrack
- It took me 10-15 minutes to get into the movie but then I was invested till the very end
- generally good acting performances ...
- ... Dev Patel was hit and miss though - didn´t deserve the Best Supporting Actor nod for sure
- very moving, especially towards the end
Moonlight - 7.5/10
- beautiful direction - despite the content just a beautiful movie to look at
- again, great acting - I hope that Maherrshala Ali gets the Oscar - would have been great if he´d had more scenes
- Naomie Harris would be a deserved winner as well
- first two thirds are near perfect
- last third is pretty weak compared to the other two
Manchester by the Sea - 8/10
- loved the realism
- solid to even great acting from the majority of the cast
- although the story doesn´t leave much room for comedy the movie made me smile from time to time
Other movies that are nominated in other categories:
Florence Foster Jenkins 7.5/10
- great performances by Streep & Grant
- singing scenes hard to watch (but somehow that´s a positive I guess)
- beautiful art direction - didn´t except that it will be that impressive
- fine balance between comedy and drama
Nocturnal Animals 7.5/10
- Opening Credits scene: WTF ?!? that was uncalled for, at least to that extent
- Michael Shannon kicks ass
- Due to the content it borders on unwatchable but for me it still was impossible not to get involved
- Dense Atmosphere
- I hate Jump Scares but the one in this movie was kinda forgivable and pulled off nicely
O.J. Made in America - 8/10
- very detailed 5 part documentary on racial conflicts in the US, O.J.´s career, the crime, trial and the time after
- a bit too lenghty though - 8 hours was too excessive
Star Wars Rogue One - 7.5/10
- pleasant surprise, liked it more than Episode VII
- definately better than any of the Prequels (that´s not hard to achieve though)
- The Two main characters are a bit bland, really liked the rest of the team
- it´s a fitting prelude to the original Star Wars
- great effects - was impressed with a certain human CGI character (still uncanny valley but they did a good job)
Toni Erdmann 7.5/10
- what a fucking weird movie :)
- hard to watch since you feel embarrassed for the characters pretty much all the way through
- the main characters appearance and odd behaviour (teeth anyone ?) got on my nerves ...
- ... although it is pivotal for his character
- This movie didn´t need to be 160 mins long - you easily could trim 20 mins of fat
- despite that it´s a mesmerizing movie and kept me thinking about it´s themes
