I loved this movie, and am so glad it's getting a lot of Oscar buzz.
I'm glad to hear that! I haven't been following the Oscars at all.
It's not at all the sort of movie that usually wins 'Best Picture', but wouldn't that be wonderful?
I would be delighted. It would feel like a Hugo win, of which I would also incidentally approve.
Also, you totally should watch 'Pan's Labyrinth' immediately; I think it remains del Toro's best movie. It's not gory, exactly, but there's two moments that come to mind in which a sudden outbreak of violence are absolutely shocking in how quickly and viciously they appear.
I will keep this in mind. It came out in 2006 when I was in very bad shape; it looked beautiful and potentially excruciating and I was not up for the latter. I think by then I had already seen Hellboy (2004). I associate it with the apartment of grad-school friends and Halloween.
