    Are we really counting your name. as a 2017 release even though it had Oscar-qualifying runs last year?

    Didn't realize it had had one but looking at IMDB you're right. Adjusting list.

    I was personally counting it as 2016. Saw it appear on a number of end of year lists from last year, so it feels odd to count it for this year. *shrug*

    Get Out was good too.
    I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I had the opportunity to see this at the Nashville Film Festival last month and really regret passing on it, especially after it won the Audience Award in the Animated Feature Competition. I hope it gets some kind of distribution.

    The arthouse theater I frequent is getting this really soon. It looks like the result of a Monty Python sketch directed by Salvador Dali. Needless to say, I'm excited.
