Birdman

Great movie? Or greatest movie?

I liked it quite a bit - I appreciated how it navigated telling a story through the medium of film and taking advantages of the medium. Lots of that tasty magical realism.

I want to find a copy of that Raymond Carver short story that was adapted into the play within the movie.

I know that the dinner table scene comes from the short story What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (which I think is also the name of the short story compilation it appears in).

I dug it.  I've always enjoyed Inarritu's(sp?) stuff, and this was probably his best movies since Amores Perros.    But so far I'd say the best movie of 2014 that I've seen is Snowpiercer.

Wow, Best Picture of the Year. Birdman. Best Picture. Not surprised.

I'm sort of surprised that the academy voted for it, but think it was deserved.

I'm a bit disappointed The Imitation Game didn't fare better. At least The Theory of Everything got a nice win.

I have to admit that I got a bit of thrill seeing all the fauxrage from people that American Sniper/Bradley Cooper didn't win.
