Might've been Bilge's microphone on Twitter that threw me off, but I had the strong impression that Gray's period drama was widely beloved.<br /><br />Just as well. I'm pro on it, but it ranks high among the year's biggest disappointments for me. <br />Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078377790942736019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-58709151765199015412015-02-13T16:40:45.535-05:002015-02-13T16:40:45.535-05:00Hmmm...

As for Muse Swami, this stuf...Good job, wildling. <br /><br />As for Muse Swami, this stuff is all foggy to me now. I would've lost my left nut betting that <i>Goodbye to Language</i> would place higher than <i>The Strange Little Cat</i> (if my left nut hadn't already been slapped with a bunch of liens).<br /><br />In any event, my predix:<br /><br />10. Stray Dogs<br />09. Stranger By the Lake<br />08. Only Lovers Left Alive<br />07. Force Majeure<br />06. The Babadook<br />05. Inherent Vice<br />04. Two Days, One Night<br />03. Grand Budapest Hotel<br />02. Under the Skin<br />01. Boyhood<br /><br />I think <i>Boyhood</i> passiondexers will cancel out <i>Skin</i> passiondexers, and the former will squeak into first due to broader support.<br /><br />The mystery is the last slot, which I've currently reserved for <i>Stray Dogs</i>. Could be <i>Leviathan</i>, <i>Lego Movie</i>, or even <i>Edge of Tomorrow</i>, though the latter two seem unlikely given the AVB's diminishing enthusiasm for populist picks. Too bad. Think I preferred it when Skandies results didn't just echo that of Film Comment and Voice/IndieWire.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078377790942736019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-23226033877175195702015-02-13T16:13:17.332-05:002015-02-13T16:13:17.332-05:00Oops, just realised I misspelled Philip...Oops, just realised I misspelled Philip...Atli Sighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09542195031294304732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-68666391988121666982015-02-13T16:12:21.399-05:002015-02-13T16:12:21.399-05:00Leviathan will not place, I'm sure about that,...Leviathan will not place, I'm sure about that, and I doubt Stray Dogs will place that high.
