I struggled with several scenes (you forgot Alma's surprise dinner) before settling on the final one. PTA used to know how to write himself one big Skandie scene. Now he just writes entire great movies.

The breakfast order, the in-house fashion show, the dress retrieval, the New Year's Eve party, the reconstruction of the wedding dress, etc... (I know films can garner votes for several scenes on a single ballot, but maybe people tried to limit themselves to one or two scenes per movie?)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595363654366120236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-86019403899659469862018-02-07T15:36:01.366-05:002018-02-07T15:36:01.366-05:00As for BRAWL, perhaps a lot of people are like me ...As for BRAWL, perhaps a lot of people are like me -- I liked it a lot but not quite top 10. For many of us maybe it fell in that 11-20 range of films this year so we couldn't give it points.
